Safety is theme of Grand Electric’s Annual Meeting

Storm sewer bid awa

to BL Contracting

By Beth Hulm“Safety First: Looking Out forach Other” was the theme of rand Electric’s annual summereeting held in their warehouseFriday night.

Indeed, it is something to bragout that approximately 50 em-oyees have gone 51 months withlost-time due to a work injury.

hat’s approximately a half-mil-n man hours!Jerry Reisenauer recognized the

mployees with a short video andld the audience, “Safety isn’tmething that I, as a Generalanager, can demand.” He credits

e Board of Directors and an em-oyee safety committee witheping things safe for all in-lved. “Sending everyone homefely at the end of the day is ourpriority,” Reisenauer concluded.

It was Reisenauer’s second videothe night. As this has become

s tradition since September 11,01, he also played a patrioticece, set to Lee Greenwood’s “I’moud to be an American,” tonor those who have fought andntinue to fight on foreign soil tootect America’s freedom. “Manyanks to our veterans,” Reise-uer said. He is also a veteran of e Vietnam War.As he moved into the heart of

s annual presentation, Reise-uer proudly announced that theoperative’s revenues in 2012ere up almost a million dollarser the previous year. Contribut-g to the increase was the hike innsumer rates, increased sales toe oil fields and a low 2% borrow-g rate that was re-invested at

%.Reisenauer said that Grandectric consumers are “blessed” tove one of the lowest residentialtes in the country. While theholesale costs of energy have in-eased about 65% in the past sixars, residential rates haveown by only 21%, he said.Future growth will continue tome from industrial loads, like

e TransCanada pipeline project.though still heavily debated, thest phase of that pipeline isheduled to happen in 2016. “Its been a very good project, re-rdless if it moves forward ort,” Reisenauer said.Also, coming in the near futurell be an Automated Meter Infor-ation system, which will allow

mployees to read electric metersom their offices. The goal is tove it operational by 2014.Reisenauer, assisted by boardairman John Long, stayed at thedium to give recognition to de-rving directors and employees.

Brad Besler and Maxine Ras-mussen were recognized for fiveyears of service and John Long for20 to the Board of Directors. Em-ployees who received service

awards were Tonya Collins, 10years; Penny Nelson, 20 years;Bob Landphere and Mike Lem-burg, 25 years; Kenny Kocer, 35years and Helen Aaker, 40 years.

Earlier in the day, farewellswere offered to Gladys Jacksonduring a reception in her honor,hosted by her co-workers andboard members. She is retiringfrom the cooperative following 36-1/2 years of employment. DuringFriday night’s program, Reise-nauer and Long presented herwith a bouquet and a plaque.

Goodbyes are never easy, Reise-nauer said. He also announced the

death, in January of this year, of Abner Thoreson in Minnesota.Thoreson was Grand Electric’svery first manager in 1949. Reise-nauer called him “a strong advo-

cate and a true gentleman.” Thore-son was 95.

In addition to approximately$470,000 in capital credits re-turned at Friday’s meeting, a fewpeople went home with even morecash in their pockets. Raymond Akers’ name was drawn to playPlinko. He won $95 of a possible$100. Later, the Mentors fromMaurine missed out on winningthe $500 jackpot because theyweren’t present to claim the prize.Five other people were more thanhappy to split the winnings, in-cluding Vaughn and Ruth Berg,

Brief History of Christ EvangLutheran Church, Bison, SD

When Rev Herbert J. Wackerfuss(1930-39) served as pastor, thedwindling membership and closeproximity led Meadow and Scotch

Cap congregations to start meeting jointly in Bison. Eventually the twocongregations merged. Christ Ev.Lutheran Church signed its consti-tution June 1, 1938. Rev GerhardEhlert (1940-42) held services inthe Seventh Day Adventist Churchrented for $1. a Sunday until 1946.Then the congregation moved to theformer Presbyterian Church rentedfrom the local school. This, alongwith the dissolving membership of Coal Springs Church took placeduring Rev Roy Reede’s pastorate(1942-47). Pastor Reede started abuilding fund in 1947. Under RevMax Herrmann (1947-52) serviceswere being held in the courthouse.In August a foundation with a roof was laid in anticipation of a build-

ing. On December 7th, ChristLutheran began holding services inthis covered basement. Many of thefurnishings came from St. Paul’s,Hazelton, ND, and some are stillbeing used. Pews were loaned bythe local Presbyterian Church andan organ was bought. With a loanfrom the WELS synod, a buildingwas purchased and moved fromReeder, ND. It was dedicated onOct 3, 1948.

Pastor Reginald Pope in Lemmonserved the vacancy until Rev JohnBalash (1953-54) was called. Thefollowing vacancy was again servedby Rev Pope (1954-56) and Rev Ver-non Greve (1956-58) after him. Pas-tor Pope’s workload was reduced in1955 when the Date congregation

joined Christ Lutheran, and the Athboy congregation joined Lem-mon. Then Christ Lutheran joined

an association of five churches in-cluding Faith and Dupree in 1958.Rev Robert Wendland served thesechurches out of Bison from 1959.

He moved to the Faith parsonage in1960, and served Bison until ChristLutheran realigned with Hettingerand Reeder under Rev R. E. Buss in1960.

After Pastor Buss left, Christ’slong vacancy was served from St.Paul of Faith by Rev Nathan Engel(1964-68). Finally seminary gradu-ate Rev Fred Fedke III (1968-72)was assigned to Reeder, Hettinger,and Bison. Christ also purchasedit’s present place of worship thatyear, a building owned by the As-sembly of God congregation. RevLarry Wiederich served from July1973 to July 1976. During RevTerry Yahr’s pastorate (1976-87) abrick sign was built for the church,and the theater seats were replaced

with pews. Then in 1982, a pipeorgan was bought and installed byHoward Nolte of Sioux Falls, SD. Itwas dedicated November 21, 1982.

Then in 1987, Rev Tim Johnston(1987-92) was installed and ChristLutheran celebrated its 50th An-niversary. A parsonage fund wasstarted and eventually used to buythe current parsonage, 302 E Carr,Bison in 1990. On January 10,1993, Rev Kenneth Bittorf was or-dained and installed, serving nineyears (1993-2001). Rev David

Five creative ways to useontainers in your landscape

by Melinda MyersContainer gardens have longen used to add a spot of color byfront entrance or expand plant-g space in city lots, balconies andcks. Don’t let past experience

d tradition limit your vision.y one or more of these attractive,n and functional ways to includentainers in your landscape,rge or small.Add vertical interest to any gar-n or garden space. Select arge attractive container filledth tall plants like papyrus andnna. Or elevate a small pot oneppers or an overturned pot forded height. Create height with

maller pots and plants by strate-cally stacking and planting themto a creative planting. Try set-ng any of these planters right ine garden to create a dramaticcal point.Create a privacy screen or maskbad view. Use an arbor or other

pport for hanging baskets anden place a few containers belowr an attractive screen. Or creategarden of containers to provideasonal interest using a variety of ants. Use trees, shrubs, and or-mental grasses for height. Saveoney by purchasing smallerants. Elevate these on over-rned pots for added height andpact. Mask the mechanics by

rapping the pots in burlap. Thend a few colorful self-wateringts in the foreground for addedlor and beauty. Fill these with

annuals or perennials for addi-tional seasonal interest.

Bring the garden right to yourback door for ease of harvest andadded entertainment. A self-wa-tering patio planter, windowbox,

or rail planter reduces mainte-nance and makes harvesting herbsas easy as reaching out the win-dow or backdoor. Plus, guests willhave fun harvesting their ownfresh mint for mojitos or greens fortheir salads.

Define outdoor living spaceswithin your landscape. Use con-tainers as walls and dividers toseparate entertaining and playareas from quiet reflective spaces. And consider using pots with builtin casters or set them on moveablesaucers to make moving these potseasier. This way you can expandand shrink individual spaces asneeded simply by moving the pots.

Create your own vacation para-dise. Use planters filled with can-

nas, bananas, palms and NewZealand flax for a more tropicalflare. Add some wicker furnitureto complete the scene. Or fill ver-tical gardens, an old child’s wagon,metal colander or wooden and con-crete planters with cacti and suc-culents. Add some old branchesand large stones. You’ll feel asthough you’ve hiked into thedesert.

All you need is a bit of space andcreativity to find fun new ways toput containers to work for you inthe garden this season.

By Charles OrtmanJeff Foxworthy made famous

the phrase you might be a redneckif. We Boomers probably need thesame kind of help making usaware of our status in life. ‘Statusin life’ sounds better than just say-ing old. Let’s face it, sometimes we

forget that we are Boomers; notthat it is all bad. So here are some,“you might be a Boomer if…” ob-servations.

When a time capsule is openedand you remember that you hadput stuff in it, you might be aBoomer.

When you are involved withsome group or you are setting withyour church congregation and youare thinking that some of the folksare the older, dependable mem-bers, it hits you like a brick thatyou are one of the older ones; youmight be a Boomer.

When you are explaining to youradult child what a spit sink is andthat all of the school gyms hadthem, you might be a Boomer.

When the lights flicker, you im-mediately think you might be hav-

ing a stroke, rather than therecould be a problem with the elec-tricity, you might be a Boomer.When you receive an award for thelongest, active service, you mightbe a Boomer.

You just thought of somethingfor this list but before you can grab

a pen to write it down, you forgotwhat it was, you might be aBoomer.

When people automatically giveyou a senior discount without yourasking, you might be a Boomer.Even if you are like many peoplewho are getting into much bettershape but your main social activ-ity is going out to eat, you mightbe a Boomer.

If your social network consists of actually talking to people at socialactivities, you might be a Boomer.

When you have to sign up forMedicare but can’t remember to doit, not because of your memory butbecause you can’t believe you willbe 65, you are a Boomer.

So to all you Boomers out there,I just want to say…. Oh, for cryingout loud; never mind.

Boomer Babble –Thoughts at large are you a boomer?

Many evergreens throughoutnorthwestern South Dakota havewinter burn injury this spring. Itis showing up as reddish-browndead foliage and was caused bycold winds which dried out theneedles of evergreens last winter.Desiccation occurs when the

ground contains inadequate mois-ture due to drought, frozen groundor whenever else a plant is unableto access moisture in the soil.Windy sites are obviously moreprone to this type of damage thanprotected locations. Plant rootscannot uptake water from frozen

hardened off. If the damage is se-vere, some or all of the buds alsomay die.

Usually the north and westsides of trees experience the worstdamage from the prevailing winds.Other conditions that can con-tribute to a trees susceptibility towinter burn are if it has beenplanted improperly, stressed by in-sects, diseases, other environmen-tal factors, fertilized at an im-proper time or have poor winterhardiness. Normally only foliageis killed and buds and branchesusually are unaffected. Foliagethat both early fall freezes andwinter desiccation killed often re-mains green as long as tempera-tures are cold. Damaged needles

then turn brown when tempera-tures rise. If the buds were notkilled, new foliage emerges thespring or early summer. Assess-ment of total injury should bemade only after new growth hasoccurred. Winter injury often is anaesthetic problem in evergreens

Range and soil knowledge gained at eve“The purpose of rangeland judg-g is to provide an understandingrangeland resources and a sensestewardship in natural resourceanagement,” noted Dave Ollila

a South Dakota State Univer-y iGrow Web page.The 30th annual Rangelandays and ninth annual Soil Days

set for June 25 and 26 atadoka. Youth between the ages of ght and 18, as well as adults, willst their rangeland knowledgering the two days. Youth are bro-n up into four groups, basedon their ages. Learning activi-s are designed for a variety of e groups and expertise – startingth plant morphology and identi-ation on up to judging habitatitability for cattle or grouse.The first day is spent on theairie, learning about the proper-s of rangeland resources and

anagement practices to employ.he second day the youth andults apply this newly found

owledge through scenarios cre-ed in a contest format.In addition, students have the

opportunity to compete in cate-gories including informative dis-plays about rangeland, exhibitingstudent developed range plant col-lections and a speech contest onrange related topics. The studentparticipant with the highest cumu-lative score in each age divisionwill be award a “Top Hand” beltbuckle.

The age divisions break out asfollows: New Rangers – eight to 10year olds, Wranglers – 11-13 yearolds, Scouts –14-18 year olds withno previous range judging experi-ence and Go-Gettters 14-18 yearolds who have previous range eval-uation experience.

The participants in 14-18 yearold (high school youth forum)speech contest will be competingfor the privilege to represent SouthDakota at the International Soci-ety for Range Management Con-vention to be held in Orlando, Fla.,in February 2014. All travel ex-penses for the student will be spon-

sored by S.D. Rangeland Days andthe South Dakota Section of theSociety for Range Management.

The top placing 4-H range teamand 4-H soil team will representSouth Dakota at the NationalRange and Land judging contest inOklahoma City, Okla., the firstweek of May 2014.

The Livestock Industry TrustFund, through the state 4-H organ-ization, sponsors a significant por-tion of the travel costs for thesestudents to attend.

“Rangeland is a kind of land, nota land use. Rangeland is fragile,yet durable and resilient. Manage-ment profoundly impacts the simi-larity index, a measure of range-land condition that reflects itsvalue for livestock, wildlife and hu-mans. The purpose of rangeland judging is to provide an under-standing of rangeland resourcesand a sense of stewardship in nat-ural resource management,” saidOllila, an Extension sheep special-ist and technical contributor in or-ganizing the Rangeland Daysevent.

Available on the Internet athttp://igrow.org/up/resources/07-2001-2012.pdf is a digital versionof the “Judging South DakotaRangelands for Livestock andWildlife Values manual.” “Thismanual describes a contest withcomponents that have a strong bi-ological basis for habitat manage-ment of both beef cattle and prairiegrouse. Beef cattle have been cho-sen because they are the most com-mon livestock species grazed onSouth Dakota rangelands. Oncestocking rates are determined forbeef cattle, conversions can bemade to determine stocking densi-ties of other grazing animals, suchas horses, sheep and goats. Prairiegrouse represent wildlife because

they are affected by managementand have the potential to occurthroughout the state. There arethree primary species of prairiegrouse that inhabit the state:sharp tailed grouse, prairie

chicken, and sage grouse. Manage-ment can achieve many desiredrangeland uses. Vegetation, live-stock, and wildlife respond in apredictable manner to range man-agement practices,” said Ollila.

Soil Days is an opportunity tolearn more about one of the mostimportant South Dakota resources.

Students will learn how to deter-mine soil texture, soil depth, pasterosion, slope and stoniness. Theywill also learn how to interpretpermeability, surface runoff andlimiting factors. From this infor-mation they will determine theland capability class. This willallow them to make recommendedtreatments for vegetation and me-chanical erosion control. Fertiliza-tion recommendations will also bedetermined. Students will alsolearn about home site evaluation.

Must, mold, moisture, basemeThe recent moisture and in-ease in temperature provideeal conditions for mildew andold growth in homes lower livingeas and basements, says Mar-rie Zastrow, SDSU Extensionutrition Field Specialist."For those dealing with the dis-antling of a basement due tooding, taking time to clean andepare for repairs can be timensuming and frustrating," Zas-ow said. "It is important to takeecautions to prevent the growthmold in our living environment

r our health as well as to main-in the value of property."Zastrow says the growth of moldn have significant health effectsindividuals of all ages, particu-

rly those who are very young,e elderly and those with a com-omised immune system. It toon impact the value of the struc-re.Controlling moisture is one of

e primary defenses in prevent-g mildew and mold growth, saysstrow."Even though you may not haveater issues to deal with, just theesence of high humidity can sup-rt mold growth," she said.

Molds can be detected by appear-ce and/or a discoloration of sur-

ces."If you have mold issues, Zastrow

says your resources are best spenttaking care of the problem ratherthan go through the costly processof identifying the particular strainof mold.

In the lower living areas and thebasement it is recommended thatthat humidity be kept at 60 per-cent or lower to alleviate thegrowth of mold.

"Even if you did not have waterthis spring, if your humidity is 60percent or greater, you have thepotential for mold growth," shesaid.

To alleviate the potential formold growth, Zastrow says tobegin by thoroughly cleaning thearea using a general purposehousehold cleaner. This will re-move the dirt and grime whichmold spores feed on. Secondly, youcan sanitize the area with a rinseof 1/4 to 1/2 cup bleach per gallonof water.

"Remember, bleach is not a

cleaning agent and cleaning is acritical step," she said. "If youchoose to sanitize, the solutionshould remain on the affected areafor 10 - 15 minutes."

She reminds homeowners tonever mix bleach with anothercleaning agent.

After cleaning, one of the mostimportant steps in controllingmold growth is dehumidification.

"Without the presence of mois-ture, mold spores will remain dor-mant," she said. "When adequatemoisture is present and there is asource of food they grow."

It is recommended that themoisture level be from 40-60 per-cent. The dehumidifier is the mostefficient means to reduce and con-trol moisture. When operating adehumidifier be sure that your de-humidifier is sized to your squarefootage; some larger homes mayneed two or more.

If operating a dehumidifier, becautious in opening windows asthe moisture is likely higher out-side than inside.

Reducing clutter is an importantstep in controlling the growth of mildew as well.

"Piles of cardboard boxes, boxesof clothing, clutter and just toomuch stuff will absorb and holdmoisture, as well as inhibit the aircirculation pattern," Zastrow said.

"These items make it hard toclean, as well as keeping the areaventilated."Refurbishing damaged walls

If you had persistent seeping orstanding water in your basementyou may have had to remove floor-ing and/or wall boards. If wallboards were removed it is recom-mended that they be cut 12-inchesabove the saturation line.

For these situations, Zastrowsays it may take several weeks ormonths to dry out before re-finish-ing is recommended.

"The amount of time it takes todry is very much dependent on thetype of construction materials youhave, the amount of moisture/water you had, as well asthe amount of time thewater/moisture was present," shesaid.

Those homes that had signifi-cant damage, i.e. for those that re-moved wall board Zastrow says itis recommended that drywall, pan-eling or other coverings not be re-placed until the moisture contentof the studs is 12 percent to 16 per-cent or less. The moisture contentof wood can be checked by using aMoisture Meter often availablefrom a contractor. Moisture con-tent may vary from one location toanother, so readings should betaken at several locations.

"The meters can provide a rangeof moisture in sheetrock; if the de-humidification process has begun,a more accurate moisture readingshould be taken behind thesheetrock as the face of it may ap-pear dry, while moisture is har-bored behind," she said.Refurbishing Flooring

Before you replace a floor cover-ing on a concrete floor, determine

if the concrete enough. To get anture content of sources recommhome test by tapfoot sheet of heavylene plastic in arect sunlight, anblanket over the ta day or two.

If condensationderside of the pfloor is too damp fcarpet with rubbacking. If the flremove the plasthe dehumidifi After the floor harepeat this test; wunder the plasticriod of 2 to 3 dasider renovationmay take weeks oconcrete to dry.

When refurbishconsider the elect

walls and take ntions to avoid futhe home and theon it. For jobs beytency, contact a sional.

What is Efflorto deal with it

If you have a your basement Zmay have some




hite growth" which looks likeold.If your floor is clean and it isly noticeable on the concrete itlikely efflorescence. Efflores-

nce is a reaction of moistureth the compounds in your ce-ent."If it is efflorescence, when youuch it, it will crumble; you sweepand it turns to a fine powder andappears generally where theree cracks in your concrete," Zas-ow said.The availability of water, perme-ility of the concrete and

mounts of soluble compounds de-

termine how much efflorescencewill occur and when it will stop.The water temperature and hard-ness also have an effect. A signifi-cant amount of efflorescence cancause damage to your concreteover a period of time, but generallyshe says it is not a health hazard.

Efflorescence can be removed byrinsing with water alone if it has just appeared. If the efflorescencereappears it can be removed withone part Muriatic Acid (hydrochlo-ric acid) to 9 to 19 parts water andsponge the affected areas. Follow-ing the application of the Muriatic Acid dilution, the area should be

rinsed with water."Generally this process can be

done with a sponge. Dehumidifica-tion also will help to dry the con-crete and control the growth of theEfflorescence," she said.

Extreme caution should betaken when working with Muri-atic Acid. When working withMuriatic Acid wear rubber gloves,appropriate shoes/neoprene boots,have the area well ventilated, andbe sure there are not any otherchemical compounds present.Those with compromised immunesystems or the elderly should notwork with Muriatic Acid.

We got 20 hundredths of rainiday night, the grass is growing,e birds are singing and life isod!We branded the last bunch of te calves on Monday and that af-rnoon Taz and Bryce took a loadhorses to Lemmon to the horseiropractor.Tuesday most of the communitythered to brand at Doug Doll’s.

he Hackamore branding is theand opening of the Hardingounty social season and fashiontravaganza. The chilly weathernd of put a damper on the fash-n scene this year. Bryce rode theundup wearing her footy paja-as and dang near froze to death.he explained that fashion wasuch more important than com-rt!All the ropers sported theandatory neckties and therestlers were dressed to theeth, but by the time I showed up,ost everyone had their fineryvered with heavy jackets. The

g Boss Man Doug Doll hungugh in his tuxedo accessorizeda beautiful leather necktie

pped by a silver concho that aend hand-tooled for him. We seee tux every year, but that neck- was impressive. When Iagged it up to Doug, he told meliked it so good that he is goingwear it to his son Clint’s wed-

ding the end of this month!Tuesday was also the school

board election in Harding County,so Reub and I went to Ralph tovote before I went to the Hack-amore. Only one person had votedbefore we got there and the elec-tion turnout wasn’t real great. You’ve probably heard that the twonew board members are LindaGilbert and David Wickstrom.Being on the school board can be athankless and frustrating job, butwe wish you both the best!

Harding County lost anotherold-timer on Tuesday. Buck Bren-gle passed away at Fort Meadeafter a long battle with cancer.Buck’s funeral will be 1:00 Thurs-day at the High Plains WesternHeritage Center in Spearfish.Buck was one of eight childrenborn to W.O. and Maude Brengleon the family ranch south of Buf-falo. My Grandpa Clem White andW.O. were great friends (and fel-low horse traders) and we used tohear some really fun stories about

those two and Bill Marty’s uncle,Sam Marty. Buck and I enjoyedthose old stories and I’m going tomiss being able to laugh with himabout those long ago days thatwere sometimes way too exciting!

Casey, Bryce and Trig helpedBill Holt move cows Wednesdaymorning and then went to Buffalothat afternoon for the first Youth

Series rodeo. It was nice outside soI got my flower beds weeded andworked up a sweat cleaning theyard. It sure cooled off that nightthough. Thursday morning ourthermometer registered 34 de-grees! Rep. Charlie Hoffman saidthey had a hard freeze at his rancheast of the Missouri near Eureka,but my tomatoes looked okay here,thank goodness. Friday the tem-perature soared to 82 degrees andI used the air conditioner!

The Harding County historybooks are here! Fed-Ex broughtthem to Buffalo Thursday after-noon. We spent the afternoonpacking books for shipment untilwe ran out of boxes. I broughtmine home that night and haven’tbeen able to put it down since. A lot of them have been deliveredand we will be working to get therest out to all of you who orderedsome. There are extras, so if youwant one, send a check for $80 forthe two volumes written to ‘Hard-ing County history book’ to Alice

Holcomb, 13699 Harding Rd, Buf-falo, SD 57720 if you plan to pickthe volumes up and $90 if youwant them mailed to you.

Casey shot another coyoteThursday. GF&P has killed fivemountain lions, a female and twokittens in downtown Keystone, amale lion watching walkers and

bicyclists along a park trail in the Angostura State Recreation Area,and another male in Hill City.

Scott Larson with the USFW inPierre sent me a press release an-nouncing that the USFW proposesto return management and protec-tion of wolves to the states. Mexi-can wolves in Southwest will con-tinue to be protected as endan-gered subspecies, but the stateswill manage the gray wolves.
