Black Hills Artist Visits Small Town By: Lauren Weishaar

Mark Zimmerman, a professional artist

from the Black Hills, visited Lemmon High

School on Tuesday, September 11 through

Thursday, September 13. He resides in

Nemo, South Dakota and predominantly

paints in acrylic. Zimmerman paints mostly

landscapes, and if you look close enough

into his artwork you will see squares. This

is because fields, roads, and woven wire

fences come together to make our world

up of squares.

When working with the high school art

students, he focused on ink transfer draw-

ings with water color. Art teacher, Mr.

Peterson, added, “It was a privilege to

have him come into our classroom and the

kids were very receptive to him.”

Zimmerman was in Lemmon for the en-

tire week and was here as part of the

Artists in Residence program through the

state of South Dakota

Kicking off the Lemmon/McIntosh

school year, LHS Sports Boosters brought

in Proactive Coaching speaker, Rob Miller.

Miller had three presentations at the be-

ginning of the week. On Tuesday, August

28, he gave one talk for the parents and

one for the coaches. Wednesday morning

he gave a presentation for the Lemmon/

McIntosh student body. He had six main

points during his presentation. A few of

these were about commitment and how

everyone is a part of a team. He talked

quite a bit about how choices affect not

only students but the people around

them.

Athletic director, Josh Anderson com-

mented, “Things that I really liked to hear

him talk about were leadership and the

TEAM aspect of things. I think our kids/

athletes are great people; however, I

think at times we need someone to step

up and be leaders for our programs. He

really hit the nail on the head when he

talked about this stuff. Our students need

to make life decisions that will and can

affect them for years to come. How they

handle these decisions is what makes

them who they are.”

The theme for the 2018 Homecoming

week was “USA.” Homecoming is a time

where the students should be silly, wild,

and show off their school spirit, and that is

exactly what they did.

To kick off homecoming, the students

participated in dress up days consisting of

Redneck Day, Sports Team Day, and White

T-Shirt Day. The pep rally on Tuesday was

set up by the LHS Student Council, and

many games were played such as hungry

hippo and limbo. The students were also

assigned a teacher and had to throw Chee-

tos on the teacher’s head which was cov-

ered in a shower cap full of shaving cream.

That night, in the varsity volleyball match,

the Cowgirls rallied against the McIntosh

Tigers and won in five games. Coronation

followed with the crowning of homecom-

ing King and Queen. At the end of the

week, the Cowboys took on the Dupree

Tigers in the traditional Friday night

football game and came away with a 48

-0 victory. The LHS Student Council also

partnered with the LHS Sports Boosters

to provide food for the tailgate party

before the football game.

The burning of the “L” was held in the

Armory parking lot thirty minutes after

the football game concluded. Mrs.

Straight stated, “The students did a ter-

rific job planning everything. They were

in charge of the pep rally, the tailgate

party, and Coronation for the most part.

They pretty much did all the work. I was

just there to supervise.”

LHS Has Spirit

Past Royalty Crowns New King & Queen By: Beth Tennant

Homecoming for the Cowboys and

Cowgirls was just a little different than

every other year. This year, homecoming

week was during Labor Day week. With

LHS having school off on Monday, Coro-

nation took place right after the volley-

ball match on Tuesday. The homecoming

court included Jade Witt, Avery Haase,

Alexis Lopez, Jadyn Zentner, Beth Ten-

nant, Dylan Witt, Bowen Arnold, Jake

Ellison, Ronny Nehl, and Dillon Reede.

During Coronation, junior class presi-

dent, Anna Beer, spoke as the MC, and

Bill Swanson was the speaker. Swanson

mentioned, “With this class being the

first class I had, they will forever hold a

special place in my heart.”

Coronation ended that night with Dillon

Reede and Beth Tennant being crowned

the new Homecoming king and queen of

2018.

Nothing is better than getting to meet

new people and make new memories. This

can include students from all over the

world. One student in particular has been

in the spotlight lately, and her name is

Caecilia Pusch, better known as Cici. Com-

ing straight from Berlin, Germany, as an

exchange student, some of her favorites

include the color blue, Chinese food, and

art. She grew up with two sisters, one dog,

and one cat.

Moving from within a huge city to a

small town can prove to be more difficult

than it seems. When asked how she likes

living in a smaller town compared to

where she lived before, she stated, “There

isn’t much you get to do, but you get to

see your friends every day.”

A normal day in Berlin could include

hanging out with friends, going to the

lake, and even learning Latin and French.

This is not so different compared to the

small town of Lemmon. Something as

small as the weather has been a drastic

change; as Cici said, “It’s very much colder

than Germany. I’m not quite used to it.”

All in all, Cici is looking forward to making

friends and learning new things within the

community.

Lemmon FFA Hosts Open House and Judging School By: Lauren Weishaar On August 21, 2018, the Lemmon FFA Chapter hosted an open house to encour-age students to join FFA as well as to get the current members excited about this year’s activities. The 2018 Lemmon FFA chapter officer team served a buffet of hotdogs, chips, and desserts. The officer team consists of Avery Haase, Lexi Lopez, Korrie Zentner, Anna Beer, Madison Weishaar, Meza Ham, Lauren Weishaar, and advisor Renae Gebhart. The chapter also conducted many mini career development events (CDE’s) and leadership development events (LDE’s) that gave students an op-portunity to win prizes and learn more about FFA. Mrs. Gebhart mentioned some of her goals of the open house were to “educate people on what our FFA chap-ter is going to do this year and the differ-ent activities and contests we are involved in. I wanted it to be a fun atmosphere for kids and families to kick off the school year.”

On September 5, 2018, a Land and

Range Judging School was conducted by

NRCS (Natural Resources Conservation

Service) and United States Forest Service

specialists. Agriculture Education students

from Newell, Sturgis, and Lemmon

attended the

judging school.

Range students

evaluated sites

for cattle and

grouse suitability.

They also identi-

fied rangeland

plants. Land judg-

ing students

identified soil

textures, soil pro-

files, and suitabil-

ity for home

sites. Scott Riley

stated, “My fa-

vorite part about

the whole day was learning about the

different soil textures and profiles.”

Mr. Bucks By: Bethany Anderson

Mr. Bucks went to college for eight and a

half years and was looking for more edu-

cation. His favorite subject in school was

history and anything that dealt with war.

Though he enjoys the change in his job,

becoming a superintendent was never his

goal. What makes the job interesting to

him is that it’s fast paced, and it gives him

a picture of everything. Something that Bucks likes about Lem-

mon High School is that there are quiet

lunches, and his favorite school food here

at LHS is chicken nuggets or burritos.

What Mr. Bucks is looking forward to the

most at LHS are the students, making life

easier for teachers, learning something

new, and the growth. One challenge that

he has encountered in his job so far is un-

derstanding how high school is different

from elementary.

Mrs. Renae Gebhart’s fifth hour Food

Science class has been busy with hands-on

learning in the kitchen. Mrs. Gebhart add-

ed, “My goal for the class is to have stu-

dents cook a variety of different foods

using an assortment of different cooking

techniques.”

To start off the year, the class learned

how to properly measure ingredients like

flour, water, and cereal to get accurate

measurements. Using the knowledge, they

gained, the students made puppy chow,

apple pie, fish, and much more. Also, they

were given the opportunity to make their

own recipes. Each group of students was

challenged to use potatoes to make a reci-

pe they found online. While some stu-

dents made hash browns and

others made French fries and

potato salad, they served up

quite the delights. Lexi Johnson

commented, “I learned that

there are certain types of potatoes you

are supposed to use when cooking certain

dishes.”

Food Scientists Get Busy in the Kitchen

Mrs. Renae Gebhart

By: Madi Bucks

Mrs. Renae Gebhart grew up in Dawson

Minnesota. Her favorite thing to do in her

free time is spending time with her four

kids, and her favorite food is prime rib.

She loves animals and has many cattle,

horses, two pigs and a dog. Mrs. Gebhart

is a very outgoing person and loves to

learn. She went to college for six years,

has a bachelors and masters degree, and

before she became the Agriculture Educa-

tion teacher at LHS, she taught in Bison.

Mrs. Gebhart decided to teach in Lem-

mon because she wants to give all Lem-

mon students a chance to be successful in

agriculture. She said, “The best thing

about being a teacher is getting to see my

students understand something they’ve

never done before. My goal as a teacher is

to expose my students in many agriculture

varieties and help them be successful.”

One of her greatest successes while

teaching was when one of her past stu-

dents became a state FFA officer.

“I love watching every school sport be-

cause I love watching all students being

apart of something and being successful in

it.” Her favorite college sports team is

SDSU, and her favorite professional foot-

ball team is the Minnesota Vikings.

“There isn’t one bad thing about being a

teacher, I love it, and I love spending time

with my students.” Mrs. Gebhart said

when her students are being successful it

inspires her so much.

El Club Español Viaja a la República Dominicana (Spanish Club Travels to the Dominican Republic)

By: Ian Riesinger

This year, Lemmon School District has a

few new faces. One of these faces is Ms.

Struble, the new music teacher for grades

K-12.

Ms. Struble grew up on a ranch in Bel-

videre. In the 5th grade, she started play-

ing clarinet, but she plays many different

instruments now, and the hardest instru-

ments for her to teach are the stringed

instruments section. She wanted to be-

come a music teacher and loves to teach

any class relating to music because she

loves music. She got her teaching degree

from Black Hills State University in Spear-

fish and has been teaching music for 11

years.

“I wanted to teach band again and be

able to build a music program. Lemmon

has lots of potential,” Ms. Struble ex-

plained. For now, she is focusing on the

band program and taking things one step

at a time with drumline and choir pro-

grams.

During the school week, Ms. Struble

stays in Lemmon, and on the weekends

she is out at her ranch. She has no kids of

her own but has four dogs: Taz, Cab, Os-

car, and Toots. Her favorite type of music

is country, but she likes all kinds of music

from Classical to Jazz. Ms. Struble’s favor-

ite band is West Bound – from her home

area, lead by her neighbor, Lonny John-

ston. One of her favorite songs is

“Alabama” by Sawyer Brown.

The Lemmon band program has gone

through quite a few changes in the last

couple of years, and Ms. Struble hopes to

make the band larger and stronger. She

sincerely enjoys working at the Lemmon

School District and working with all the

people that make up the Lemmon stu-

dents, staff, and community.

During the summer, members of the

Spanish Club got the experience of travel-

ing to the Dominican Republic. The Span-

ish Club members who went on the trip

were Braydon Peterson, Camryn Shockley,

Abby Flatmoe, Jessie Colville, Taylor Dray-

ton, Dylan Witt, Dillon Reede, Sierra

Sattler, Jade Witt, and Jake Ellison. Mrs.

Klitzke, the Spanish Club advisor, and two

chaperones, Trevor Conrad and Megan

Flatmoe, also went.

Gone for seven days, the group spent

their time with both service work and rec-

reational time. One of the service projects

was spending time at a preschool singing

and doing art projects. Whitewater raft-

ing, surfing classes, pottery classes,

and days at the beach were some of

the recreational activities that the

group participated in. Whitewater

rafting was definitely a group favor-

ite of the fun activities. The Spanish

Club also spent time touring around

different cities, shopping, and

attending museums. Sierra Sattler

stated that she enjoyed the trip to

the museum in Santiago.

Besides the activities experienced,

the group also got to learn about

and see a new culture. Mrs. Klitzke

commented that her favorite part

of the trip was watching the stu-

dents use some of what they had learned

in class come to life in a different culture.

Dillon Reede shared, "I learned that we

have it FAR better off, even in South Dako-

ta, than many others in the world. It was a

once in a lifetime, eye-opening experi-

ence."

On September 11, the senior lifetime

sports class, consisting of Ronny Nehl,

Jadyn Zentner, Max Dietz, Lexi Lopez, Gab-

by Smith, and Dylan Witt, got the oppor-

tunity to go to Shadehill Reservoir to fish.

With the guidance of Keith Mutschler,

Mrs. Sara Gebhart, Monte Olson and Josh

Olson, a few of the seniors reeled in some

keepers.

Students got to fish from both the shore-

line and on Monte and

Josh Olson’s boat. The

fish that were caught

were even put to good use by Mrs. Renae

Gebhart and her food science class. A deli-

cious meal of walleye and bass was pre-

pared from the day’s catch.

Seniors Reel in Big Catches

By: Megan Baumeister

Before Miss Dalzell came to Lemmon,

she taught at the Mobridge-Pollock Mid-

dle School & High School. While there, she

taught three sections of algebra, three

sections of geometry, and one section of

pre-algebra.

When in college, her favorite courses

were the education classes she took.

These classes taught her how different

students think and develop and how to

teach and help different students. Another

one of her favorite subjects was math. She

started to teach algebra and other mathe-

matics in 2016 and commented that if she

had to teach another subject, she would

teach upper elementary.

Miss Dalzell plans on staying at Lemmon

through the length of her career. Her goal

as a math teacher is to make it more en-

joyable for kids, since it is a subject that

they don’t normally enjoy. Her favorite

class to teach is geometry because it’s

challenging, but there are also a lot of fun

things that students can do with it.

After school, Miss Dalzell likes to run and

ride bike for fun. She also likes to get

caught up on work and relax on Fridays.

For many years students of Lemmon

High School have participated in high

school and 4-H rodeo. This past rodeo

season, Lemmon had two students make

it to the national rodeo in -Rock Springs,

Wyoming, and three that competed in the

South Dakota State 4-H Rodeo. All suc-

cessful in some way or another, the com-

petitors agreed that they had a fun time

and are excited for what lies ahead them

in years to come.

Both Lexi Lopez and Britt Oliver had

what it took to make it all the way to Na-

tionals this year. These two students trav-

eled to Rock Springs, Wyoming, in July

2018 with the state of South Dakota. Sen-

ior, Lexi Lopez competed in cutting. She

later shared that it was her favorite event

because “it was something I grew up

with.” Like Lopez, sophomore, Britt Oliver

also got to go in his favorite event which

was team-roping. Lopez and Oliver shared

that there was more than just the rodeo.

There were dances every night, a volley-

ball game where the states competed

against each other, and the state of South

Dakota got together to share a few meals.

went in three events. Junior, Meza Ham

went in two, and junior, Krista Schopp

went in one. Ham recounted that her fa-

vorite part of the weekend was “getting to

interact with all my rodeo friends and

getting to compete against some of the

best competition.” The three students

shared that they did not reach all of their

goals, but next rodeo season will be here

before they know it.

LHS Cross Country Kicks Off Without a Hitch By: Kole Reede

Lemmon High School’s cross-country

team hasn’t had vast numbers in recent

years, but that changed this year with an

immense influx of new junior high ath-

letes. Also, with new coach, Jeanna Kohn,

the team has had a lot of change to adapt

to this season. With close to every runner

reporting faster times and few injuries,

it’s safe to say that this team has started

the season with much to look forward to

in their future.

Coach Kohn has tried a great number of

new workouts this year to try and push

the athletes to their potential and has

succeeded in doing so. The group has

been working hard in and out of practice

to improve their endurance, and the re-

sults speak for themselves. Coach Kohn

would like to specifically recognize Alexis

Lopez, Tayte Kohn, Emily Faughn, Mikailah

Byre, and Allie Kohn.

Dillon Reede said, “Most everyone has

improved, and the first-year runners have

had a great start.” Tayte Kohn also stated,

“I think the team has been doing really

well! We’re running consistent times and

improving each meet!”

It is no doubt that the team has had suc-

cess this year and are looking to meet

some goals at the region meet. So far the

athletes have been responding positively

to coach Kohn’s new workouts and ideas.

One of the most unique things about this

sport because of its smaller size is the

bonding between athletes. Tayte Kohn

said, “My favorite cross-country memory

this season has been running into a half

dead bull snake in the road. Kole came

running back and warned me. Needless to

say, I had a little meltdown. We both were

freaking out!”

Setting Up the Season Cowgirls Have Winning Record

By: Ronny Nehl

This season, the Lemmon Cowgirls start-

ed with a couple losses. However, the girls

quickly brought it up by having a winning

streak since their third game.

Their first win of the season happened

to be during homecoming week. They had

a heated game against the McIntosh Ti-

gers in which they played five matches.

The game ended with a win for the Cow-

girls. Since the homecoming match, they

have continued with a winning streak.

During the Little Moreau Conference

Tournament in Faith, the Cowgirls ending

up getting fourth, losing to Timberlake and

Faith. Beth Tennant was named to the

LMC All-tournament Team.

Head coach, Kelli Penfield said, “The

players put the team before themselves,

as well as celebrating each other’s accom-

plishments.” She shared that her practice

method for this year has been using the

Train Ugly Practice Method. Using this

method, they practice the way the game is

played and work off mistakes. They learn

to accept those mistakes and use them to

grow their skills.

“The athletes have been working very

hard,” she shared, “They have exceeded

By: Alena Mollman The Lemmon/McIntosh 2018 football season has showed hard work, integrity, and persistence. With four games under

their helmets, and more to come, the boys have been working very hard on the field. Head coach Josh Anderson commented on the Cowboys best game: “I think our best

game was against Harding County. We didn’t win that football game, but we played a very good football game.” He also stated, “We are progressing nicely. We have a lot of new starters on both sides of the football, so they have had to learn many new things throughout the season.” The boys are half-way through the reg-

ular season. Coach Anderson commented, “We should be able to finish the rest of the season with three straight wins, which should put us into the playoffs. Then, from there, it’s a brand-new season for every-one.”

Young Athletes Learn New Skills By: Macyn Flatmoe

Junior high volleyball set up the begin-

ning of their season with victories over

Harding County and McIntosh.

The Cowgirls have been working hard in

the gym to better their skills with every

practice. One thing Coach Sheri Anderson

looks forward to for the girls this year is

gaining experience. Coach Anderson men-

tioned that they are trying out a few new

things because of the amount of time that

the team has spent at camps and open

gyms this past sum-

mer. Anderson also

commented, “The

season is going great

so far. We have

shown a lot of im-

provements. I can tell

these girls have spent

a lot of time working

on their volleyball

fundamentals.”
