As one reads the Clark School Board Agenda on page five of this edition, one would note the resig-nation of board president Michelle Mehlberg. When Mehlberg was contacted by the Courier office, she stated, “Due to circumstances beyond my control I will not have the time to commit to being an effective and informed school board member for the next several months. I feel that it is in the best interest of the students and voters of the district for me to step aside and have someone appointed who will have the time to devote to the position. I appreciated the op-portunity to serve the district.” At the June meeting of the Clark School Board this coming Monday, the board will begin the process of finding Mehlberg’s replacement.

“I’ve had a real good life,” says Lowell Pederson with a grin. “I’ve always liked to travel. I’d be the one who would take off and do odd jobs in the winter, while my brother would stay home on the farm.”

Lowell was born on May 9, 1929 on a farm south and east of Clark. “My older brother said he and dad had gone out working and when they came back, I was lying on the oven door,” laughs Pederson. He

was the second to the youngest child in a family of nine children. Glad-ys, Thelma, Hazel, Leonard, Myr-tle, Oliver ‘Wayne’, Janice, Lowell and Walter were born to Hendie (H.O.) and Christine (Aaker) Ped-erson. “Back then everyone had bigger families. There was always a lot to do on the farm and everyone was needed to help out,” stated Ped-erson. His father was a farmer by trade, but in earlier years ran a hardware store in Flandreau. According to Lowell, his father was a hard work-ing farmer and his mother was ‘the best person you’d ever meet’. He doesn’t remember his grandparents, but knows the names are Tollef and Ingeborg (Blinsmon) Pederson on his father’s side and both sets of grandparents were Norwegian.Growing up near Clark “Growing up we always had so doggone much work to do, there wasn’t time for playing on the farm in the summers. On Sundays though, the neighbor kids would come over and we’d get a baseball or kittenball game going. The Kar-

bers lived just up the road and in the winter, we’d have fun sled-ding down hills together.” Winters would be cold in the house and Lowell recalls at bedtime, whoever got upstairs the fastest would get to sleep in the room with the stove pipe coming up through the floor as that would be the warmest. “What’s that saying about being uphill both ways to school in the old days? Well, I really did do that. We walked downhill a half mile and then uphill a half mile to go to school and then the opposite coming home. I remember the Stanley girls helping me out after school some-times when I’d have trouble.” Chores like milking would be done before and after school. After the eighth grade, Lowell was need-ed on the farm as his father lost his leg in a bad power take-off (PTO) accident. “He was pretty much done farming after that.”Tornado takes brooder house “I remember once when my moth-er, Wally, our neighbor Kathleen Karber and I were all out working with baby chicks in the brooder

house. I think it must have been a tornado or at least very strong winds that lifted the house off its foundation. I had run to the barn and looked over and saw my moth-er, Wally and Kathleen all go flying by. It’s surprising no one got hurt. Then we all starting picking up the baby chicks.Farming Breaking horses was another chore that Lowell and his broth-er Wally did on their farm. Once when the cinch on the saddle broke, Lowell went flying with the saddle underneath him. “When we were young, running the cultivator, Wally would drive the horses and dad made a seat for me to sit on and I’d regulate the cultivator between the rows. As I grew, I learned how to drive the horse team.” Lowell bought land when he was a young farmer and is glad that he did. “I don’t see how a young farm-er can make it nowdays with land as high as it is now. I think it’s sad

From the Navy to building Fort Randall, Lowell Pederson has always liked to travel

“I miss the good ole days ‘in a way’,” says Lowell Pederson of rural Clark. Born in Clark County, he’s always liked to travel, but always came back to farm. “If you get a chance to travel, go out and enjoy it as there is a lot to see in this country,” advises Pederson.

Short agenda, long meeting Monday at Clark City Hall It was a long meeting with a short agenda Monday at City Hall. The June meeting of the Clark City Council lasted over an hour and a half, dealing primarily with the public input and departmental up-dates portion of the meeting. The first public input topic was the ball field at Dickinson Park: Clark Rotary Club representative Tom LaBrie shared with the coun-cil what improvements are planned and how these improvements are progressing. The fence banners are up and help enhance the cos-metic value of the baseball/football field and also help finance improve-ments. The Rotarians are spending the summer organizing and getting ‘stuff ’ together, as most improve-ments, including the stadium seat-ing project, will be done after the

baseball season is over. LaBrie stated that sidewalks to the re-strooms are needed and that the side bleachers will probably come out. The one exception to after the season upgrades is that goose grass on the infield will be replaced and low spots will be worked on and the field will be fertilized, aerated and fungicide will be applied. Legion baseball coach Brock Greenfield was next and he summa-rized the financial state of affairs of his baseball team. Greenfield said that the Clark Legion Post agreed to give the team $500 for the sea-son. Greenfield then explained that the team of 16 will play approxi-mately 40 games this summer with players from several communities and will be called Clark-Willow

Lake. Fundraisers, private spon-sorships and community organiza-tions are all helping to make Legion baseball possible in 2013. The Legion baseball coach indi-cated that expenses will be met on a week by week basis and he asked the council for financial consider-ation. In the past the city had donated $1,500 for Legion baseball. After some discussion the city council ap-proved $3,000 for the 2013 Ameri-can Legion baseball program. Buster Altfillisch and the Willaby house were next on the public input portion of the meeting. Altfillisch, along with neighbor Bill Krikac were in attendance to ask the coun-cil what recourse they had to elim-inate this eyesore that abuts both properties. This house, in the 900 block on

North Idaho Street in Clark has re-mained unoccupied the past seven years. Altfillisch and Krikac have appeared in front of the council be-fore talking about this issue. Mayor Larry Dreher said he was very aware of the situation, had toured the property with various council members and city employ-ees and will see what options are available to alleviate this situation and attempt to get results, in an ap-propriate matter of time. And, the city health inspector, Joie Steffen will get involved with this property. Council president Louann Streff said, “Let’s start getting our ducks in a row (on this issue).” Mayor Dreher added, “It’s time,” and the council moved on to solve a drain-age issue on Kansas Street, by the Clark Community Oil business complex.

Community Oil general manag-er Troy Grensberg was in atten-dance and he and Clark street su-perintendent Roger Collins were in agreement that this drainage problem could be solved by draining straight east with a drop-in box and a 15” culvert. Collins emphasized that 70’ of cement culvert would keep the water out. The council ap-proved the $4,800 project.

In other business: ▲ The only mention of the pro-posed retention pond came in fi-nance officer Jackie Luttrell’s up-date. She mentioned that this pond must be 1,000 feet from any resi-dence. ▲ No executive session was need-ed at Monday’s meeting.

If the weather cooperates...swimming pool is to be painted The Horace Bennett Swimming Pool is being sand-ed and painted this week, maybe?!? Clark water su-perintendent Darin Altfillisch reported that tempera-ture regulations require that the temperature needs to be in the 70˚ area before painting can take place. It then takes time for the paint to dry and to ‘cure’ the paint and then another seven days to fill the pool with water. It could be the middle of June before the swimming pool doors are opened.

If the weather cooperates this week the swimming pool will be painted. If Mother Nature does not coop-erate, then... Above, lifeguards left to right, Morgan Huber, Kalli Bell, Kandace Kolden and Mackenzie Huber are paint-ing the inside area. Will the outside get painted in 2013? We will know by this time next week.

Clark County commissioners talkpossible broadcast of meetings Political correctness and open-ness of government are two ‘buzz words’ or trends of the new millen-nium. At Tuesday’s meeting of the Clark County Board of Commissioners a group of concerned citizens from the northern parts of the county were in attendance to talk about just this matter...Their right to know! “It’s hard to argue against open-ness,” commented Clark County States Attorney Chad Fjelland as the subject was how can everyone in the county know what’s going on at the commissioners meeting. Greg Anderson was the spokes-person for the group and he is a proponent of using ITC Communi-ty access Channels as the route to broadcast commissioner meetings to all ITC subscribers. “I think it would be good for our county, as it would be a live feed of commissioner’s meetings,” said An-derson. Clark County Board of Commis-sioners chairman Francis Hass then asked the commissioners their thoughts on this matter. Commissioner Richard Reints, when he was asked, commented “My only problem is that not ev-eryone in the county has the ability to get ITC, I don’t.” Commissioner Violet Wicks said that she can’t get

ITC where she lives. Becky Caulfield, Bradley, brought up a relevant thought, telling the commissioners that when there is a meeting, she can’t protest, be-cause she finds out about the issues two weeks after the fact when the minutes are posted in the paper. “That’s the only way I can find out what’s going on,” she said. Clark County Courier editor Bill Krikac stated that one of his biggest regrets is a Tuesday deadline with a Tuesday commissioner meeting. “Deadlines don’t wait and some times decisions aren’t made until after I have to get a paper out,” Krikac said. He has for a long time hoped to hire someone to cover the Tuesday meetings. “That would re-ally be nice, but it just hasn’t hap-pened.” States Attorney Fjelland said that an agenda could be published and better yet emailed, to those who wanted. Susan Olson added that she real-ly liked the idea of ITC live cover-age. “I think that would be a step in the right direction.” Caulfield added that the con-cerned citizens group was there to try to get communications flowing. The commissioners said they would look into the ITC Community Access Channels route.

Blue skies and sunshine trans-late to a perfect summer day. Those elements are refl ected in South Da-kota’s fl ag. The story of the state’s banner began in 1909, when State Sen. Er-nest May of Deadwood walked into the offi ce of the State Department of History in Pierre. He discussed the need for a state fl ag with state historian Doane Robinson. “Turning to me, Robinson said, ‘Miss Anding will make you a fl ag,’” Ida (Anding) McNeil said in an arti-cle in the Jan. 20, 1963, Rapid City Daily Journal. McNeil, a legislative reference librarian at the time, designed and made a fl ag that featured a blazing sun in the center of a fi eld of blue, with the words “South Dakota” above the sun in the arc of the circle and “The Sunshine State” below the sun in the arc of the circle. McNeil said in the newspaper article that Robinson suggested a blazing sun emblem because of South Dakota’s many days of sunshine. McNeil showed the sample fl ag to Robin-son, who remarked that the Great Seal of the State of South Dakota would look nice on the other side. McNeil agreed, and the state seal set against a fi eld of dark blue was placed on the reverse side. A bill adopting the state fl ag was passed by the Legislature in 1909. “If I had known as much about fl ags as I do now, I certainly would have left the reverse side plain,” McNeil said in the Rapid City Daily Journal article. “A two-sided fl ag is very diffi cult to make. In addition to the added work, it is diffi cult to pre-vent one side from showing through onto the other.” McNeil explained in the newspa-per article that to make the state fl ag, she appliquéd the golden sun and embroidered the sun’s rays. She then took another piece of silk, painted details of the state seal on it and appliquéd this to the reverse side of the fl ag. In addition to being diffi cult to make, a two-sided fl ag was expensive to produce. The silk material from which McNeil made the fl ag cost $12.50 per yard and the materials for one fl ag cost about $75 in 1963. McNeil left her state job when she married in 1921. Although she made the fi rst state fl ag, she is bet-ter remembered for being a pioneer

in radio broadcasting. She became known as “Mrs. Pierre” while own-er and operator of KGFX radio in Pierre. Another version of how South Dakota’s fl ag came into being states that May told Robinson that Dead-wood pioneer Seth Bullock wanted a state fl ag. Robinson makes no mention of Bullock’s involvement in the state fl ag in Doane Robinson’s Encyclopedia of South Dakota. Da-vid A. Wolff of Spearfi sh, author of Seth Bullock: Black Hills Lawman, said that he could fi nd no evidence in his research on Bullock to sup-port the idea of Bullock being in-volved in the fi rst state fl ag. During the 1963 legislative ses-sion, Rep. William Sahr of Pierre introduced a bill to modify the state fl ag. The new one-sided fl ag kept a sun with a serrated edge on a fi eld of sky blue but placed the state seal inside the sun. Around the sun were the words “South Dakota” and “The Sunshine State.” The state’s banner was again revised in 1992, when the Legisla-ture approved changing the word-ing on the fl ag to read “The Mount Rushmore State” instead of “The Sunshine State.” This refl ected a change in the state nickname. The legislation for both the 1963 and 1992 changes contained a pro-vision that any previous fl ags made in conformance with state law were to remain offi cial state fl ags. That means that it is legal to use any of the three offi cial state fl ags. Not everyone likes our state fl ag. The North American Vexillological Association, an association of fl ag experts, ranked South Dakota’s fl ag as one of the fi ve worst in North America in 2001. During the 2012 legislative ses-sion, a bill to adopt a fl ag designed by Spearfi sh artist Dick Termes was introduced. This design featured a sunburst, an American Indian medicine wheel and concentric blue circles. A House committee rejected the call to look at revising the fl ag.

The Prairie Doc PerspectiveBy Richard P. Holm, M.D.

Subtle Symptoms and Not So Subtle DiseaseAt first he had a subtle clue that something may be wrong, but he

didn’t do anything about it. “Almost everyone has had heartburn one time or another,” he thought. But gradually it became worse. He found that he could control it with over-the-counter pills, so it must not be something so bad. His wife began bugging him for eating antacid tablets day and night, so he did it on the sly.

Ah! But over time the reflux became less bothersome, and so he was reassured this was nothing dangerous. Then, one day, food started to stick on the way down and his wife said that she made him an appoint-ment to the doctor. “You had better keep this one,” she said.

I know of at least seven men diagnosed with esophageal cancer who had a similar story. Four have passed away, two are cured, and one is receiving chemotherapy and we are hoping for a cure.

It is the feeling of a burp with acid in it, which starts in the stomach, comes back up the food pipe, and ends in the throat. The fancy name for such a disorder would be gastro (meaning stomach) esophageal (meaning food pipe) reflux (meaning backward movement), or GERD, also called acid reflux.

Reflux can cause some people to have esophageal pain so similar to heart pain and so severe that it is sometimes wrongly diagnosed as a life-threatening heart attack. This is why its been called “heartburn.”

On the other hand, some people have minimal to almost no discom-fort from such reverse movement of stomach acid. Over the last ten to twenty years, we have learned that many who come to the doctor’s office without reflux symptoms, but with voice change, cough, or asthma, may actually have nighttime reflux, resulting in acid-burned vocal cords and lungs.

Don’t wait for your spouse to make that appointment. Esophageal symptoms, subtle or not, should bring you to the doctor.

to see the farmsteads disappearing and all the shelterbelts too. The government used to pay to plant shelterbelts, now it’s almost the other way around. It pays more to remove them now.” When still a young man, Lowell would rent out his land and travel to work. “I always liked to travel and do different things. I worked in a paper mill, a foundry, did roofi ng work and various construction jobs. I also helped build the Fort Randall dam near Pickstown.” While visiting his sister Hazel and her husband in Long Island, N.Y., he ended up joining the Navy. “I thought I would get to see the world, but I mainly saw the inside of the ship Cadmus, a repair ship. I worked in the boiler room, keeping the steam going. I also had to cook, we all took our turns in the mess hall. I cooked for the chief a few times I recall. I served in the Navy for two years and did see Puerto Rico. All of my brothers were in the service too.”Meeting Marge When he returned to Clark Coun-

ty is when he met his future wife, Marge Kretzschmar. “She was friends with my niece Evelyn. We met at a dance in Clark, I think. We hit it off right away. We both liked to dance.” The couple was married on July 25, 1961 in Jackson, Minn. at the courthouse on their way home from a carnival in Minnesota. “We almost didn’t make it in time that day,” he laughs. After they were married, Lowell and Marge bought a farmstead from Henry Desnoyers and began to farm. “She was a really hard worker. She liked being out on the tractor and could do everything on the farm,” said Lowell of his wife Marge. “She had a big garden and was good with the animals. She didn’t care much for the sheep, though, especially when they would jump over the fences in the wintertime. They were the fi rst to go when we sold out the live-stock. Over the years I raised cat-tle, hogs, chickens and sheep along with farming oats, wheat and corn mostly.” The couple belonged to St. Paul Lutheran Church where Marge was an expert at making lefse for their annual lutefi sk supper. She came to be known for her lefse making skills and would make extra and sell it around the holidays.

“I was really lucky I think. We got along really good together and when we could get away, we liked to travel. I’ve been to all of the lower 48 states except Rhode Island and Connecticut,” said Pederson. When asked about his hobbies, Pederson likes to read, play cards and when younger did a lot of hunt-ing and also bowled. He recalls big rabbit hunts when many would encircle a quarter of land and walk towards each oth-er corralling the rabbits together. “You’d learn not to shoot too soon, or you’d end up having to carry them. We’d sell them to Clinton Clark for his fox farms and then have a big feed to celebrate afterwards.” Lowell lost his wife Marge in 2005. “She got in the habit of smok-ing and lung cancer got her. We had a great life together. “In some ways I miss the good ole days. Kids nowdays spend too much time in front of the televi-sion. There’s a lot of programs that shouldn’t be on there I think.” When asked what the best inven-tion is he’s seen in his lifetime, his reply was, “Probably the lawn mow-er.” He advises the next generation, “Travel if you get a chance. There’s a lot to be seen in this country - go out and enjoy it.”

Wednesday, June 5, 2013 Clark County Courier 6What helps school lunch changes go down easier? A little sweetness in how they are implemented

Continuedfrom last week

A smoother transitionWhile several schools had a lot

of pushback to the new rules, in Faulkton, S.D., and Kulm, N.D., the requirements were implement-ed without much diffi culty. The way they implemented the changes may be part of the reason for this easier adjustment.

Giesler, who has been the cook at Kulm for 22 years, said she believes the adjustment went more smooth-ly because she had slowly been making changes before—offering more fruits and vegetables at the “help yourself” salad bar, for exam-ple. There were initial grumblings from students when changes were implemented, but when they ate all the fruits and vegetables offered to them at the salad bar, they felt full and did not complain about being hungry.

The process in Faulkton was in-fl uenced by having student Kyle Ortmeier involved. He had recently gotten the school on board with the Alliance for a Healthier Generation, which describes itself as “a catalyst for children’s health. We work with schools, companies, community or-ganizations, healthcare profession-als and families to transform the conditions and systems that lead to healthier kids.”

That process had the school con-sidering health effects in its deci-sion-making before the new school lunch rules had to be implemented.

Ortmeier serves on the national board for the Alliance, which was a signifi cant help for the school as they considered changes, said Dr. Joel Price, superintendent for Faulkton Area Schools. “With some-body like that on a national board, it granted the district information resources we wouldn’t otherwise have had,” Price said.

Ortmeier, for example, called upon Kari Senger, the director of Coordinated School Health at the S.D. Department of Education, to help the school set up the reporting for the new lunch plans online.

“I think a lot of the difference (be-tween Faulkton and other schools in implementing the rules) was that the school was very open and above board with everybody about what was going on from the beginning,” Ortmeier said. “Dr. Price and (FHS)

Principal Mr. (Craig) Cassens spoke to all of the students about the changes, made it clear what was go-ing on and kept everybody informed along the way. People did bicker or complain about it for two weeks, but then the complaints died out.”

Marion Nestle, a nutritionist who has written extensively about the school lunch changes, advocat-ed this approach in an e-mail ex-change with Dakotafi re.

“(Making dietary changes more palatable) requires committed communication strategies,” Nestle wrote. “Schools that have succeeded in making huge changes to school meals without causing a revolt usu-ally have food directors who talk to parents and kids about what the changes are for and ask for a grace period. If the food tastes good, the kids will eat it, no question.”

Good-tasting food may be a factor in Kulm, as Giesler cooks almost all the meals from scratch. Nestle noted that it’s signifi cantly easier to provide tasty, fi lling meals if schools are cooking from scratch than if they are relying on processed foods, which often pack lots of calories but few nutrients into a small package.

The students at Groton, for ex-ample, started their lunch boycott after they objected to how little was on their plates when they were served popcorn chicken and popcorn shrimp—both calorie-dense foods that do little to fi ll up stomachs.

Ortmeier said having a salad bar, such as the one in Kulm, can help students fi ll in the cracks if the main meal left them hungry. This can also help ensure that students who may not get enough nutrition at home can get the extra calories and, perhaps more importantly, the nutrients they need at school.

Having a “champion” for healthy living in the student population likely made a big difference in the way the changes were viewed in Faulkton. For example, when stu-dents complained after the school instituted a policy of no high-sug-ar or high-caffeine soda or sugary snacks during school hours, Ort-meier said his friends’ complaints were based on addiction symptoms.

“Someone said something to me about it, and I said, ‘Dude, the rea-son you feel rotten is that you’re sug-ar crashing and you’re having caf-feine withdrawals,’” Ortmeier said. “Long-term, my friends, classmates and fellow students don’t need that. These changes are in no way trying to hurt anybody, but to make the school healthier. Healthier students mean better athletic and academic performance. It’s been scientifi cally proven that healthier students do better in school.”

A recent study published in JAMA Pediatrics suggests that school lunch requirements similar to the ones that went into place this year help keep kids at a healthier

weight. In schools with such re-quirements, students eating free or reduced-price meals were 12.3 percent less likely to be obese than those who didn’t eat those lunches. The study focused on low-income students because they are more likely to be obese (which is likely because less nutritious food tends to be cheaper than healthier options).

Nestle wrote an editorial to go with that study.

“If you take junk food and sodas out of schools, kids don’t eat as much of them and are healthier. If you have strict nutrition standards for school food, the food is healthier and so are the kids,” Nestle wrote. “This may all seem self-evident, but now we have research to prove it.”

And with these new standards, students all across the nation are going to benefi t. Whether they like it or not.

Students of the month for May were recently selected at the Clark Elementary and Middle School. Students were judged on the Charac-ter Counts pillars which are respect, responsibility, trustworthiness, caring, fairness and citizenship. Students can be nominated by any faculty member in the school. Chosen as Student of the Month for May in the elementary was fi rst grader Collin Woodland, son of Tony and Amy Woodland. Collin was reported to be very responsible and hard working. His teacher also feels he is very caring to other classmates. Chosen as Student of the Month for May in the middle school was sixth grader Janae Kolden, left, daughter of Gary and Bet-sy Kolden. Janae’s teachers feel she is very responsible and can always be counted on to complete her work on time and very well. “She’s a great classroom leader.”

Willow Lake eighth grade students tourWashington, D.C. and New York City

These 12 Willow Lake students had the great opportunity of traveling to the east coast of the United States and visiting historical landmarks. Students pictured at the Lincoln Memorial included, back row, left to right: Riley Ladwig, Cordell Caulfi eld, Colin Pommer, Tanner Nelson, Reis Bruley, Mikenna Burke and Brooke Bruns. In the front row, left to right: Gretchen Comstock, Vivian Redinger, Laryn Warkenthien, Alyssa Evenson and Kelly Wicks.

Twelve Willow Lake eighth grad-ers along with Mrs. Kim Bratland and 10 chaperones traveled to Washington, D.C. and New York City from May 28 to June 2. The group visited the many memorials in D.C., including the Lincoln Me-morial, Korean Memorial, Vietnam Memorial and Martin Luther King Memorial. The students toured Mt. Vernon and also the United States Capitol in which they were able to have a personal tour of the House of Representatives Chamber and Representative Kristi Noem’s offi ce. Other sites toured were Arlington

National Cemetery and the Smith-sonian Institute Museums. In New York City, the students and chaperones enjoyed seeing China Town, Time Square, Green-wich Village and Central Park. The students reported that a ferry ride around the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island was another highlight of the trip. The group attended the Broadway Show, The Lion King. On the last day in New York City, the group visited the 911 Memori-al. “The trip was an amazing and educational experience for all,” said group advisor Kim Bratland.
