Ostrander would be a fill-in at thewimming pool; she stated thathe pool committee recommenda-on was that she be hired full-me if Maddy Vance was hired at

Donn Dupper had severalitems in his report. The lagoonand curbs need to be sprayed.There are four lights at Durkeethat are being put out.

Gene Lund never went to highchool, but has always been atrong suppporter. Sunday ataith High Schools Commence-

ment Gene was presented with anHonorary Faith High SchoolDiploma.

Superintendent Elsie Bayeead these comments when pre-enting the diploma:

Gene Lund was born in FaithFeb. 22, 1915. In the Faith His-ory Book Gene states, I arrivedn the middle of the winter of 1915n a little place called Faith, SD,he product of a Norwegian fathernd a German mother. Times

were hard and money was scarceo in order to help support theamily, I milked cows morningnd night. The next step waserding sheep. I followed themround all day and slept withhem at night. After graduatingrom this we ran beef cattle. My

mother died in 1919 when my

twin sisters were born. This leftmy father with five small childrenwith no money and no mother. Iwill never know how he managedto keep the family together untilthey grew up.

Gene spent his life on the LundFamily Farm about 8 milesSoutheast of Faith where he andhis Dad milked cows, raised cattle

and herded sheep eventually spe-cializing in sheep and they wereamong the best.

He loved the town of Faith andnever wanted to go anyplace else.However, now at age 98 he lives atWest Hills Village in Rapid City.

Gene attended the Katt gradeschool in Ziebach County and hisdad, Oscar Lund, drove theschool bus, which in 1924 was ateam and wagon, 32 miles eachday.

He enrolled in Faith HighSchool in 1932 by paying the Su-perintendent $1.00 as a registra-tion fee. After one day of highschool he decided hed rather stayhome and herd sheep. He tried toget a refund on the registration fee

but hes still disappointed todaythat he never did get his dollarback. (Perhaps we should sendhim that dollar).

Gene was a rancher, rodeo cow-boy and always a supporter of ac-tivities in Faith.

In July of 2007 he started theGene Lund Scholarship Fund for

Gene Lund receives Honorar DiplomaFHS seniors with a donation of$200,000. Later on he added an-other $100,000 to this amount tobring the scholarship fund up to$300,000.

When our new school was built,Gene was the largest single con-tributor donating a total of$422,000 to the project. Uponmaking the donation, Gene said,

This should put us over the topfor that new building for ourFaith Kids and Im happy to be apart of it.

In total Gene has donated$722,000 towards the school andits students. This does not includethe $5,000 that he and his wife do-nated some years earlier for the li-brary that was built adjacent tothe school.

For all that Gene Lund hasgiven to the Faith School District,we proudly present him with anHonorary Diploma this year.Gene isnt able to be here today toaccept this honor but he gra-ciously accepts and we will makesure he receives the diploma.

Morris Gustafson accepted thediploma on behalf of Gene.

nd is coming loose and there areome chips out. Joes Sandblast-ng will be coming to sandblast itr around $5,000. Jon said theyave used Proseal on it in theast but it builds up layers andauses more problems. Hehecked with Philip to see whathey use, but its quite expensive,bout $40,000 just for the prod-

ct. He thought maybe the Coun-l would want to budget

omething in for next year. Hehought they should also use aover on the pool in the winter.onn said they have been trying

o contact Ainsworth-Benning toome look at the pool but hasnteen successful. Debbie addedhat they could use some new ta-les at the park, the shelter andestrooms need painting, and theestroom at the lake needs someork.Fire Chief Justin Haines had

heir newest truck parked outsider members to see. He said theyave 2 tenders, 5 grass fire trucksnd two pumpers. They are re-uired to have two pumpers toeep their ISO rating where it is.

Debbie told members that theudit would be done the week ofune 24th.

Riley reported that some mem-ers from Arrow Transit and hereent to the Meade Co. Commis-oners meeting to ask for helpith funding to keep the bus serv-ing our area. The county cut

unding recently and the bus nonger stops in Faith for local res-

dents to ride to the Hills.Council approved Fordyces

se of the fairgrounds livestockuilding for a wedding dance onuly 27th. They arent sure aboutbar for the dance yet, they mayave the Faith Stock Show han-

le it, rather than the city.Council also approved use ofhe fairgrounds for two ropingshis summer, in June and August.

Debbie had visited with Angelennedy earlier about the fall

raft fair. Angel was wondering ifhe could just rent the buildingnd do it herself rather than thety paying her to do it. Counciliscussed how vendor licensesould work then. If they call it a

ommunity event it wouldnt re-uire the licenses. Council ap-roved Angel renting the buildingnd doing it herself.

Bids were opened at 7:00 forhe mowing of city property. Sev-ral bids were received for theeparate areas advertised. Tyler

isher and Carrie Collins re-eived the bid for mowing at theommunity center/public safetyuilding at $100 each time. Theylso had the low bid for mowinghe park and tennis court, $120ach time; and the cemetery for425 each time. Bids were also re-eived from Bret and Kari Han-on, Doron Shaff, and Mattelms. The one bid for cleaning

he restrooms at the park was re-cted, so the city crew will con-nue doing it.Jason Reed came before Coun-

l to explain about the retaining

wall he would like to put uparound the Reed plots at thecemetery. He would like to fill inwith dirt on the hillside north oftheir plots and put in a 30 long-wall. The wall wont interferewith any access to other gravesand would make the plots moreusable. Reeds have four plotsthere now and he is willing topurhase the other remaining onesor the city could give them to himto help offset the improvement hewants to make, either was finewith him. After more discussion,Council approved him purchasingthree of the 8 plots and they givehim the others, a couple are of nouse.

Corinna Thompson, in her ca-pacity at the Faith InformationCenter, has been busy working onideas for summer activities forthe community. Plans are to showoutdoor family movies at theCommunity Center every Wed-nesday night. They have thesheet for the wall, but may needto work on a better projector. She

was in contact with the ShrineCircus but they wont be cominghere this summer. She also hasbeen working on getting the Tex-aco Country Showdown here.This doesnt cost anything if youhave someone to sponsor it for theadvertising. Tentative plans areto have a good old-fashionedBlast from the Past Apprecia-tion Day like Faith used to have,complete with rummage sales,craft fair, sidewalk sales and doorprize drawings by the businesseson Main Street, with the TexacoCountry Showdown that evening.

Activities for the 4th of July arestill being planned: golf, softballtournament, etc. She would liketo see the businesses show a little

pride in their community andplant flowers in planters in frontof their business. Debbie saidmost businesses have plantersfrom Horizons but many didnttake care of them last year and itwas too hot so they didnt do well.Barb Berndt said that there arevideos of the plays that were pre-sented here that would be nice toshow at their outdoor movies.Corinna said she will check into

that.Debbie reported that the Spe-

cial Entertainment Committeehas been working on some activi-ties for Stock Show beings wewont be having a carnival thisyear. She visited with the Na-tional Guard and they have sev-eral toys they could bring andset up for a few days. They arealso thinking about other eventson Main Street, mechanical bull,food vendors, games and kids

train among them. They will behaving the car show again. Theymay also have the gun show, andpossibly a free barbecue underthe tent. The Senior Citizen Cen-ter would like to have a Pie Socialunder the tent for a fundraiser.

Council will get quotes forspraying weeds at the lagoon, thecurbs in town, and possibly at thelake.

Mayor Haines asked if theywanted to get started on any ordi-naces for the expected pipeline,

although it will be at least an-other year. The only thing theyreally need to decide is how muchdistance should be allowed be-tween campers. Debbie said thereis no ordinance but they alwaysfigure at least 6-8. Riley thoughtthey should have at least 20 toallow for fire trucks, etc. Any ex-isting lots would be grandfa-thered in so the ordinancewouldnt affect them. Some mem-bers thought this wasnt fair to

new lot owners as it would limitthe number of units they couldhave. Lightfield asked if therewas any ordinance on parking inthe City Park. Debbie said therewasnt and also no time frame.Council approved having Atty.Bogue draw up an ordinance.

Council has been discussingpurchasing a fuel truck for Jet Afuel out at the airport. There willbe a SEAT plane stationed herethis summer, with 2 or 3 guys andthey need the fuel. Mayir Haines

said they could pgallon truck from$3500, but it woultified first, and know how much tCouncil discussehappen if he got they decided notdoes the City havit done? If they fodrastically wrongcould stop theprocess right the

Grand River RoundupBy Betty Olson

ontrol weeds naturallyWeeds are a problem faced byeryone who enjoys gardening.hen we prepare the soil to makegood home for our garden

ants, we also create ideal condi-

ns for weeds to thrive.So whats a gardener to doout weeds? We can smother ex-ing weeds when creating newanting beds, but despite ourst efforts, weed seeds will al-ays be blowing into the beds.Now theres a natural productailable that helps prevent weededs from growing in the garden,d surprisingly, it is made fromrn. Corn gluten is a byproductthe wet-milling process and hasaditionally been used in cattled poultry feed and dog food. It

as discovered entirely by acci-nt that corn gluten can also beed to prevent weed seeds fromrminating. Not only can it sup-ess weeds, but it will also helped your garden plants since it isso a source of nitrogen. A hugenefit is that corn gluten wontrm pets, people, birds or in-cts, making it very safe to use.Corn gluten works by prevent-

g germinated seeds from grow-g a root. A plant that hasready grown roots will not be af-cted by corn gluten. For the bestsults, the corn gluten should beplied early in the season, beforee weed seeds germinate andow roots. As a pre-emergentrbicide, corn gluten tends tove a cumulative effect and be-mes even more effective oneed seeds with repeated applica-ns over time. One application

corn gluten continues to sup-ess weeds for 4-6 weeks, a bitss if the weather is unusuallyiny or hot.Corn gluten is typically appliedbroadcasting it on the growing

bed at a rate of 20-40 pounds per1000 square feet. It may then belightly raked into just the surfaceof the soil and watered in. Corngluten will not be effective unlessit is wetted and should be given a

gentle shower after being applied.However, if there is a long rainyperiod after the corn gluten hasbeen applied, it may lose its effec-tiveness. As with any herbicide, itcan wash away, and weedseedlings may even recover andbegin again to form roots if thesoil surface remains wet for anextended time. Keep an eye onthe weather and apply the corngluten when no rain is expectedfor a few days. Always follow theinstructions on the package whenapplying any herbicide or fertil-izer. Corn gluten will not harmmature plants and can be safelyused in an existing flowerbed,vegetable garden or potted plants.

The Garden GateBy Karen Englehart, Master Gardener,

SDSU Extension - Perkins Co.

It finally rained! As I write thison Monday weve already received2.67 inches and a gentle rain con-tinues. Youve never seen somany happy ranchers and farm-ers; everybodys smiling. GregUrl- acher said it feels just like we

all won the lottery and never hadto buy a ticket!I drove to Pierre Sunday after-

noon for an Executive Boardmeeting early Monday morningand then stayed overnight to par-ticipate in the west river Agricul-ture and Natural ResourcesLegislative Tour that began Tues-day morning. The first stop forthe bus was Oahe Downstream tocheck out the recovery after theflooding a couple years ago. I fol-lowed the bus from there toStoneville where we visited Cam-macks buffalo ranch.

Despite high winds, theWildlife Services predator controlpilot gave us an impressivedemonstration by shooting bal-

loons on the ground from the air.Veteran GF&P trapper Dan Tur-geon showed us the many differ-ent devices and methods he usesto control coyotes, beavers, prairiedogs, and nuisance animals. Healso told the group about theplane crash he was involved inthat came close to killing him andthe state pilot he was huntingwith. Thankfully they livedthrough it, but it certainlydemonstrates just how dangeroushis job can be.

This session my bill passed toincrease the existing surchargeon hunting licenses by one dollarto help fund the Animal DamageControl program services. Thisrevenue has allowed GF&P to in-

crease existing staff time ex-pended on predator control andhas enabled the department toprovide additional funding tolocal predator control districts.GF&P will provide the USDA-WSwith funding for an additional100 hours of aerial predator con-trol to help offset the budget im-pacts due to the federal budgetsequester.

House Ag Chairman CharlieHoffman and other livestock pro-

ducers in McPherson Countyhave just formed a new predatorcontrol district to control theirpredators. GF&P recently hired atrapper for Perkins County andplans to hire another trapper tohelp in Dan Turgeons district.

GF&P removed 2,456 coyotesfrom July 2012 to April 2013 andthe WS plane flew 501 hours andremoved 1,578 coyotes. Caseyhasnt had much time to hunt thisweek, but he did eliminate onecoyote Friday morning!

I left my car at Union Centerand boarded the bus to tour theWharf gold mine near Lead,Pactola Reservoir, and RushmoreForest Products sawmill at HillCity. Rep. Jacgue Sly and Rep.Mike Verchio joined us for supperat Prairie Berry Winery thatevening and then we boarded thebus to spend the night at Creek-side Lodge in Custer State Park.

Wednesday morning we touredthe park and a mountain pine

beetle site before Wildland FireSuppression Division DirectorJay Esperance had his fire fight-ers and helicopter pilots give usan impressive wildland firedemonstration. That afternoonformer Rep. Mark Hollenbeck

joined us at Edgemont to tour theDewey-Burdock in-situ uraniumrecovery project in Custer andFall River counties. I sure hopethey are getting some of thismoisture down there becauseMarks ranch looked even drierthan the country up here.

We ended the tour at the newGF&P Outdoor Campus whereTony Leif let us sample some de-licious fried mountain lion. Andno, it didnt taste like chicken,

more like fat pork! Several of theRapid City area legislators joinedus for a prime rib supper andthen we headed home.

Saturday was busy. Reub andI swung through the CadillacRanch at Belle to drop off a wed-ding gift for Gail Gabriel andShane Garners wedding and thendrove to Sturgis to visit Jess andBill Marty at the hospital beforegoing to our grandson Tills grad-uation party at the auditorium

Background: Memorial Day isa federal holiday observed on theast Monday of May (May 27 in013). Formerly known as Deco-ation Day, it commemorates U.S.oldiers who died while in the

military service. First enacted tohonor Union and Confederate sol-diers following the AmericanCivil War, it was extended afterWorld War I to honor Americanswho have died in all wars.Natl Cemetery The preferred

name for the holiday graduallychanged from "Decoration Day" to"Memorial Day," which was firstused in 1882. It did not becomemore common until after WorldWar II, and was not declared theofficial name by Federal law until1967. On June 28, 1968, the Con-gress passed the Uniform Holi-days Bill, which moved threeholidays from their traditionaldates to a specified Monday inorder to create a convenientthree-day weekend. The holidaysincluded Washington's Birthday,

Veterans Day and Memorial Day.The change moved Memorial Dayfrom its traditional May 30 dateto the last Monday in May. Thelaw took effect at the federal level

in 1971.Many Americans observe Me-

morial Day by visiting cemeteriesand memorials. A national mo-ment of remembrance takes placeat 3 p.m. local time. Many peoplealso observe the tradition of flyingthe flag of the United States athalf-staff from dawn until noonlocal time.

In partnership with the SouthDakota Department of EducationDOE), the South Dakota Bureauf Information and Telecommuni-ations (BIT) will work through-ut the summer to increaseandwidth to 159 school sites

across the state, impacting 122school districts.

We continue to see a trend ofK-12 bandwidth doubling every 2-3 years. This increase in servicecorresponds directly with thattrend, stated Pat Snow telecom-

munications manager. We areproud to assist with this projectupgrade as this is a great im-provement; allowing educators tocontinue enhancing educationalservices through the Internet.

The bare minimum of Internetbandwidth is 10 Mbps, ormegabits per second. Fundingwas approved and appropriatedto DOE this past legislative ses-sion to increase the bandwidthminimum to 50 Mbps whereavailable across the state. Theupgrade allows for additional ca-pacity to provide education-re-lated services via the Internet;through online applications andassessments, distance learningand allows schools to do so with-

out delay.The project is currently in its

implementation phase and is ex-pected to be completed prior tothe 2013-2014 school year.

In today's classrooms, teach-ers incorporate technology on adaily basis as part of the learningprocess, and they need to be con-fident that the technology willwork, concluded Secretary of Ed-ucation Melody Schopp. Thisbandwidth initiative will help toensure that we have the infra-structure in place to supportlearning.

This year, passage of a long-term, comprehensive Food, Farmand Jobs Bill is critical to provid-ing certainty for U.S. producers.This includes the continued avail-ability of conservation programsthat give our farmers, ranchers

and private foresters the meansto conserve the soil, protect ourwater and sustain Americas nat-ural resources.

Thanks to programs providedby the Farm Bill, USDA has beenable to enroll a record number ofprivate lands in conservationpractices. Over the past fouryears, we have worked with morethan 500,000 producers, landown-ers and private foresters on proj-ects that help the environment,while providing a new source ofincome.

It providesvaluable wildlife habitat, andhunting opportunities that helprural communities generate eco-nomic benefits from outdoorrecreation.

Question: What is the differ-nce between Social Security dis-bility and Supplementalecurity Income (SSI) disability?Answer: Social Security ad-

ministers two major programshat pay disability benefits. Socialecurity Disability Insurance

SSDI) payments are based onour work and earnings, whileSI disability payments areased on financial need. Both dis-bility programs require that you

have a severe medical impair-ment or combination of impair-ments that prevents you fromworking for at least a year or isexpected to result in death.

Social Security taxes are paidby workers, employers, and self-employed persons. These taxes

fund disability benefits underSSDI. To be eligible for a SocialSecurity benefit, you must earnenough credits to be insured. Wepay disability benefits to blind or

disabled workers, widow(er)s, oradults disabled since childhoodwho are otherwise eligible. Webase monthly disability benefitson the Social Security earningsrecord of the insured worker.

SSI is a program financedthrough general revenues, not So-cial Security taxes. We pay SSIdisability benefits to adults orchildren who are disabled orblind, have limited income and re-sources, meet the living arrange-

ment requirements, and areotherwise eligible. For more infor-mation, visit our website atwww.socialsecurity.gov.
