By Emily SouvignierThe funeral director listens,

h e a r s a n d u n d e r s t a n d s; Communicates softly, a tear, a touch a smile; Senses the shock and knows the numbness of disbelief and denial; Understands the intimacy of death and quietly responds to each mood and moment; Knows the many faces of grief and helps the family members understand them;

Walks with families through corridors of confusion and despair onto the pathway of acceptance and serenity; And through education, experience and personal compassion, is the one most dedicated to helping people during this time of pain and sorrow. Thus, with a gentle strength and deep sensitivity, the Funeral Director serves our society. ~ Author Unknown

While it usually does not go unrecognized, it still may not be fully comprehended by some the sacrifices a funeral director makes in serving their communities day after day, week after week. As most Americans regularly gather together to celebrate major holidays, family get-togethers, school events , community gatherings and sometimes just a much-needed day off, chances are you’ll find a funeral director working hard behind the scenes, away from their own family affairs, preparing for funerals and memorial services at a moment’s notice.

They often miss milestone events, giving up time with their own families to be there for others preparing to say a final goodbye to their loved ones. They work on holidays, weekends, birthdays and anniversaries, and at times into the late hours of the night.

This level of dedication generally requires a selfless attitude and a strong commitment to helping others. For several generations, the Canton community has been fortunate enough to have not only a quality funeral home committed to excellence, but an outstanding set of funeral directors who never fail to put others before themselves.

This year marked a turning point for Anderson Funeral Home with the retirement of John Anderson, the fourth-generation Anderson to own and operate the family business since the original Anderson Bros. Furniture Store opened in Beloit, Ia. in 1881.

“My great-grandfather John Anderson built and sold coffins from his furniture store, first in Beloit and then they moved to Canton,” said John. “From there, I think the whole business just kind of evolved.”

Anderson Funeral Home was established in 1906 by Joseph Anderson, the first son of John.

The furniture store closed in 1987, however, the funeral home remained in operation and has continued to dutifully serve the Canton area ever since.

Looking back, John has several early memories of the family business that stand out to him, i nclud i ng spend i ng ma ny enjoyable hours down at the furniture store and riding the elevator up and down between

the original location of the funeral home on 6th Street and his parents’ apartment directly above it.

Even though pursuing the family business had already become somewhat of a tradition in the family, John originally never saw himself becoming a funeral director. After starting out and working as a carpenter for four years in Omaha, he ultimately decided that profession wasn’t for him. He then went to mortuary school in Dallas, Texas and joined his father, Don Anderson, at the family firm in Canton in 1980.

“I learned a lot working with my dad and I’m glad I had the opportunity to work with him,” said John. “He never pushed me. He kind of made me do things when I was comfortable and then slowly worked in things and I always appreciated that.”

Don owned the funeral home from 1965 to 1996 and passed away in March 2013.

Thinking back on the many years he worked with his father, John recalled an incident where the evolving technology of the times got the best of Don. “Dad was so afraid of technology advancements and stuff, and I remember one day I went over to the funeral home and he was so frustrated. We had one of those typewriters where you would type but the text would come up on a little screen, and he had pushed every button and the whole thing locked up on him,” he said with a chuckle.

Along with working with his father, John’s brother, Gary, also assisted at the funeral home for many years, as well as John’s wife, Peg, and their children, Ashley, Meghan and Tom.

The support from the Canton c o m m u n i t y, Jo h n n o t e d , always made the job more than worthwhile. “Being in this business in a small town makes it easy because you know everybody. But on the other hand, you know everybody, so that makes it difficult,” he said. “A lot of what we do isn’t taught in our schooling. It’s important information you learn along the way. For me, aside from my father, I had some really good mentors. I was also really appreciative of the relationship that I had with other area funeral

directors in our immediate area. We all, at certain times, helped one another.”

In the event of a tragedy, there were even times when members of the community would call John to see how he was holding up, from friends and family members to the area’s many dedicated pastors as well. “We’ve always had such good pastors here,” said John. “When the phone rings, when

you get a call, you go to work. Sometimes it’s a really tough situation so if you can sometimes make things a little easier, that’s what it is all about.”

W h i l e J o h n ’ s r e t i r e m e n t f r o m Anderson’s Funeral Home is in some ways an end of an era, the community can rest assured that the new owner of the business is no stranger to the job and will provide the same high quality service as it always has.

Andy McCann, who began working for John as an assistant in 2006, off icially took over ownership of Anderson’s Funeral Home as of the first of the year.

Hav i ng k now n John and his family for most of his life, McCann g rew up helping John with small tasks around the funeral home

during high school and college. He briefly took on a part-time position after graduating college in 2005 followed by a full-time position at the funeral home. Shortly after, he began a one-year apprenticeship and enrolled in Mortuary College at Des Moines Area Community College in Ankeny, Iowa.

After completing a three-semester fast track program in

Mortuary Science, McCann graduated during the summer of 2008. Upon graduating, he also went on to pass the National Boards, South Dakota law test, and completed a final six months of apprenticeship before becoming licensed in South Dakota on December 15, 2008. McCann has also been licensed in Iowa since 2009 as well.

According to John, having Andy come on board with him was the perfect fit. “There are certain times when you just need a strong body to help lift things. That’s kind of how Andy got started,” said John. “I couldn’t be happier that it worked out the way that it did with Andy taking over.

It was an easy transition.” Having worked alongside John

for so many years has been one of the most rewarding experiences McCann could have hoped for. “John has been great to work for and with. He has always treated me like family and been a great mentor,” he said. “School provided me with a great base of knowledge but John willingly shared the tricks and tips he had learned during his 40+ years in the field to help me better serve families. He always treated me as an equal, not just an employee.

McCann also works with several other funeral directors at Heritage Funeral Home in Sioux Falls.

“I am honored to take over a business that has been in the Anderson family for over 138 years,” McCann said. “I look forward to maintaining the quality of care Anderson Funeral Home has provided families through the years, but also implementing some technology to assist families in their time of need.”

In recent years, Anderson Funeral Home started offering a keepsake fingerprint program and a video tribute program which allows direct uploads of photos and videos from a family member’s phone or computer. Plans are also in the works for investing in a digital register book that will help families write thank you notes by providing them with pre-printed address labels.

“I would like to thank John and Peg for trusting me with their family business,” McCann said. “I would also like to thank my wife, Megan, for always supporting me 100%. She is always willing to help in any way she can and does a great job of putting up with my sometimes odd hours and late-night calls. I would also like to thank our families, especially our parents, Cheryl and Kevin and Shawn and Steve, for watching our son, Grayson, and for helping in any way that we ask. The Canton community has also been very supportive of me taking over the business and I am very appreciative of all the

support I have received.”As this next phase of the journey

of Anderson Funeral Home begins, it is more than clear that the business will continue to be in good hands.

“I got to take care of it for thirty or forty years and now it’s Andy’s turn. It was the perfect fit,” said John.

John continues to reside in Canton with his wife of 45 years, Peg. Andy currently resides in Canton with his wife, Megan, and their son, Grayson.

Andy McCann, pictured above with his wife, Megan, and son, Grayson, took over ownership of Anderson Funeral Home in January after working alongside John Anderson since 2005. “I am honored to take over a business that has been in the Anderson family for over 138 years,” said McCann.

Never failing to lend a helping hand around the funeral home throughout the years were the members of John’s family. His wife, Peg, and their children Ashley, Meghan and Tom shared in the responsibilities of the upkeep at the funeral home as well as helping with funerals and other services.

It was really cool to be honored next to such extraordinary veterans.” On June 17, 2009, Pearsall was recognized during the filming of “America’s Veterans: A Musical Tribute.”

Don’t Brag When Doing Right

Southtown CommentaryBy Pastor Jerry Miller

I have a neighbor who has a very good reputation around town. When I first met him, I found him to be a very friendly man. During that first conversation we had, I talked about Christ and this neighbor assured me that he too was a Christian. His behavior since that time has supported his testimony. In fact, others who know him have also said that he is the real deal when it comes to his faith. He reminds me of what the Apostle Paul said in Philippians 3:17, “Brethren, join in following my example, and observe those who walk according to the pattern you have in us.” (NASB)

I understand that my neighbor is not perfect, but it is encouraging to have someone who sets a good example for others to follow.

I know of another man who talks a lot about Christ, but does not have the same reputation that my neighbor has. Like my neighbor I have heard multiple times how godly this other man is, but there is a difference. Instead of hearing from other people how godly this other man is, I keep hearing it from that man saying it about himself. Proverbs 27:2 warns, “Let another praise you, and not your own mouth; A stranger, and not your own lips.” (NASB) I remember going to a memorial service and during the eulogy, this man bragged about how much he had helped the deceased .

My godly neighbor does not have to praise himself. Others do it for him. The other man seems to have missed the importance of verses like II Corinthians 10:18 , “For not he who commends himself is approved, but whom the Lord commends.” (NASB) “When therefore you give alms, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be honored by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full.” (Matthew 6:2 NASB) “And when you pray, you are not to be as the hypocrites; for they love to stand

and pray in the synagogues and on the street corners, in order to be seen by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full.” (Matthew 6:5 NASB) “And whenever you fast, do not put on a gloomy face as the hypocrites do, for they neglect their appearance in order to be seen fasting by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full” (Matthew 6:16 NASB)

Though Paul encouraged others to follow his example in Philippians 3:17, just before that he stressed how although there was a lot he could brag about, his true boast was in Christ. Philippians 3:9-10 says, “and may be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own derived from the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith, that I may know Him, and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death;” (NASB)

As Christians if we are ever asked about what we are most proud of spiritually, our answer should always be that Christ is our savior. Let us brag on Him, not on ourselves. Bragging on ourselves can actually confuse the gospel message of Jesus dying for our sins and raising from the dead and how it is about Him saving us rather than us saving ourselves. Titus 3:5-6 summarizes it very well when it says, “He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out upon us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior,” (NASB)

We ought to live godly lives. My neighbor is a good example. Christ is an even better example. As we follow good examples, don’t brag about it- just do it. www.southtownchurch.com

The South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks (SDGFP) is looking for landowners who want to better manage their land, enhance wildlife habitat, and get paid for it. Landowners matter and can make a significant difference in the future of our state’s wildlife resources. Programs offered by SDGFP and various other agencies are designed to help landowners implement land stewardship practices and improve wildlife habitat by creating new habitat or enhancing existing habitats for wildlife.

SD Corn and Pheasants Forever have partnered together to offer incentives to landowners in targeted areas of the state to help address issues with saline and sodic soils. In these areas, where crop production may be low, landowners may enroll in a 5-year agreement for a one-time incentive payment of $150/acre and receive free salt tolerant grass and alfalfa seed ($50/acre value). Landowners are allowed f lexible management options such as annual haying or grazing between mid-summer and March 1st.

In order to complement and expand the existing saline soil program offered by Pheasants Forever and SD Corn, GFP is offering producers the chance to participate Governor Noem’s Second Century Habitat Restoration Program. This program is similar to the Saline Soil and Soil Health and Income Protection (SHIPP) programs but allows more lands to be eligible in a wider geographic area of the state. Areas that may be enrolled include but are not limited to saline soils, wet areas, sandy hills and other non-productive areas that might serve better as perennial grass cover.

Under the new USDA Far m Bill, the Soil Health and Income Protection Program (SHIPP) is a 50,000 acre pilot program set to be enrolled by the end of 2020 and available throughout the Prairie Pothole Region. In order to maximize incentives for this program, SDGFP is set to offer additional incentives to those who sign up for the program to ensure successful enrollment of the maximum amount of acres available in South Dakota. With a 5-year agreement, these incentives offer a cost-share seed incentive of approximately $25/ acre. This seed cost-sha re would cover approximately one-half the cost of seed. SDGFP will also recommend the use of the same or similar seed

mix as used in the above mentioned saline soil program.

The SDGFP has also rolled out a one year program to enroll cover crop fields into a one year Walk-In-Area. This would open the land for public hunting for one year in return for one-time payment. Eligible land would have a good stand of varying types of cover crops that would hold wildlife for hunters. It is beneficial if the field is nearby or adjacent to existing public lands. The cover crop would need to remain standing (not grazed or hayed until December 31st). The field must be at least 40 acres and easily accessible by hunters. All sign ups need to be completed by September 30th.

There are several other GFP habitat and access programs that can also help meet the goals and objectives of private landowner habitat efforts.

A well placed food or habitat plot can also provide wildlife with food and cover throughout the winter months. Through the GFP’s Food Plot Program, seed is provided to participating landowners at no cost and has an annual incentive payment of $20/acre, or $40/acre if planted on a Walk-In Access Area. A landowner may have up to 30 acres enrolled and up to 10 acres planted for each quarter section.

The Woody Habitat Program provides cover for wildlife to help get them through tough winter conditions by planting trees and shrubs. GFP will cost share 75% of the total project cost, or up to $10,000 per planting, for a planting of 8 rows and minimum of 1 acre in size.

GFP also offers incentives to landowners to provide public hunting access. SDGFP’s Walk-In Area program leases private land with valuable hunting opportunities to the public in exchange for an annual payment and protection from liability. Walk-In Area payments vary by location, habitat quality, and hunting opportunities provided. Additional financial incentives are valuable for Walk-In Areas that are signed up to include CRP, WRP and undisturbed habitat.

To learn more about all of the habitat and access programs available, landowners are encourage to visit the SDGFP Landowner Programs website at gfp.sd.gov/landowner-programs. You may also contact your local GFP Office in Sioux Falls or Conservation Officer for sign up questions.

Canton, SD- Canton Fire Dept., Police Dept., Lincoln County Sher if f ’s Off ice, Taco John’s (Canton) and Community Blood Bank will partner up to save lives at the 10th annual Heroes Behind the Badges blood drive event. The departments will be competing to see who can recruit the most blood donors to boost the summer blood supply for Sanford Canton Inwood. All donors will receive a special t-shirt and a food certificate, compliments of Taco John’s®, (Canton location)

The “fun competition” between the departments will be held at Canton Sunshine Foods on Monday, July 29 from 1:00pm to 6:30pm. The public is encouraged to come donate and designated their donation to the department of their choice. The department credited with the most blood donations will receive a trophy and bragging rights for a year.

“The summer has been one of the most difficult to keep up with the demand for blood in recent years,” states Ken Versteeg, Executive Director, Community Blood Bank. “There have been many weeks where our usage is outpacing collection by 35%. Our hope is to start the summer months strong with an ample blood supply and keep this momentum moving to avoid any

summer blood shortages. Join us to save lives within the community and show your support for those who serve and impact the community in many ways.”

Community Blood Bank supplies over 550 units of blood each week to people in the region. Among those who benefit from donated blood are trauma and burn victims, cancer patients and persons undergoing surgery. Donating blood is a simple way to save patients’ lives in the community. Without volunteer blood donors donating blood throughout the summer, it becomes increasingly difficult to maintain an adequate supply of blood for our community hospitals.

Donors must be at least 17 years old (16 years old with a signed parent consent form found at www.cbblifeblood.org), weigh 110 lbs. or more and be in good general health the day of the donation. Please bring an I.D. It is recommended that a person eat and drink plenty of fluid prior to donating. Community Blood Bank is not associated with any other blood bank organizations.

For more information log onto www.cbblifeblood.org or cal l Community Blood Bank at 877-877-3070. Community Blood Bank is not associated with any other blood bank organizations.

Canton Student

Loan FundT h i s ye a r m a rk s t he 65t h

anniversary of the formation of the Canton Student Loan Fund. This non-profit organization was incorporated in 1954 for the purpose of “providing financial backing for college and trade school students who wanted to borrow money to help further their education”. The Canton Student Loan Fund was not only a concept that was way ahead of its time, but is a reality that has withstood the test of time and continues to assist Canton graduates who want to further their education.

Canton graduates attending a post-secondary university or trade school are able to receive $2,500/semester ($5,000 annually) and receive a total loan amount of $25,000. Students pay 4% interest on the loan while they are in school and pay 8% interest after completing their education. Repayment of the loan balance must begin within 6 months after the student graduates, terminates attendance or become a part-time student. There is a 10 year repayment schedule.

The Canton Student Loan Fund is currently accepting loan applications for the fall semester of 2019. Graduates interested in receiving the loan are asked to contact the Superintendent’s office or can access the forms online on the Canton School District website at www.CantonSDk12.org. Application forms must be returned to the Superintendent’s office by Friday, August 2.

(CANTON, SD), July 15, 2019 – The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) encourages America’s farmers and ranchers to nominate candidates to lead, serve and represent their community on their local county committee. According to USDA’s Farm Service Agency (FSA) Lincoln County Executive Director Lynn Chilson, FSA is now accepting nominations for county committee members.

Producers across the country are already serving on committees where they play a critical role in the day-to-day operations of FSA, making important decisions on programs dealing with disaster and conservation, emergencies, commodity loan price support, county office employment and other agricultural issues.

“County committees are unique to FSA and allow producers to have a voice on federal farm program implementation at the local level,” said Chilson. “It is also important that committees are comprised of members who fairly represent the diverse demographics of production agriculture for their community. I encourage all producers, including women, minority and beginning farmers and ranchers, to participate in the nomination and election process.”

Nationwide, more than 7,700 dedicated farmers and ranchers serve on FSA county committees, which consist of three to 11 members and meet once a month, or as needed. Members serve three-year terms.

Producers can nominate themselves or others. Organizations, including those representing beginning, women and minority producers, may also nominate candidates to better serve their communities. To be eligible to serve on an FSA county committee, producers must participate or cooperate in an FSA program and reside in the area where the election is being held.

This year, nominat ions and elections for Lincoln County will be held in local administrative area 3, which includes Springdale, Dayton, Canton, Highland and Fairview townships.

To be considered, a producer must sign an FSA-669A nomination form. The form and other information about FSA county commit tee elections are available at www.fsa.usda.gov/elections, or from the Lincoln County FSA office. All nomination forms for the 2019 election must be postmarked or received in the local FSA office by Aug. 1, 2019. Visit farmers.gov for more information.

Farm Service Agency County Committee Nomination Period in Lincoln County Open

With the passage of the Blue Water Navy Vietnam Veterans Act of 2019, Blue Water Navy Veterans are now entitled to a presumption of service connection for conditions related to Agent Orange exposure.

Veterans aboard a vessel operating not more than 12 nautical miles seaward from the demarcation line of the waters of Vietnam and Cambodia between January 9, 1962, and May 7, 1975, are presumed to have been exposed to herbicides such as Agent Orange and may be entitled to service connection for conditions related to that exposure.

Some items to note:• The law takes effect January 1,

2020.• Veterans can file claims at any

time, and they will be decided after the law is implemented.

• Blue Water Navy claims and appeals currently in process have been placed on hold (stayed) until the new rules go into effect.

• If veterans had an Agent Orange claim with one or more presumptive conditions denied in the past, you are urged to file a new claim. Claims that are currently in the VA review process or under appeal will be reviewed under the new policy.

• Eligible survivors of deceased Blue Water Navy Veterans also may benefit from this new law and may file claims for benefits based on the veterans’ service.

• Veterans should provide the name(s) of the ship(s) and the date(s) they crossed within 12 nautical miles of the Republic of Vietnam.

• Veterans should provide medical evidence showing a diagnosis of a current Agent Orange presumptive condition.

I encourage all veterans, and their families, to visit their respective county or tribal veterans service

off icer. We have posted a link on our website to assist you in locating the VSO located nearest you: ht tps://vetaffai rs.sd.gov/veteransserviceofficers/locatevso.aspx.

As always, our staff in our Sioux Falls Claims Office stands ready to assist veterans with their claims. Our office is located on the Sioux Falls VA Healthcare System campus – Building 38 (right off 22nd Street) or give us a call at 605.333.6869.

Believe it or not, this was a summer beach house down in Chautauqua Park in the 1920’s and 1930’s. Most of the bottom flat portion of land was plotted and filled with Various summer vacation homes. This summer home would have been almost straight south of the end of Broadway Street.

This is a aerial view from the north, up Lincoln street, looking down at the Chautauqua Park complex of several building and summer houses. The house shown above would have been located in the center right of the above picture. The big round Auditorium is seen on right and some of the Red Crass safety swim building is seen in the center.

Here is actual view on the Sioux River of the big water park attraction, looking up the river from the south side of the water park. The big long red cross change house with safety equipment is on the left side. The Canton dam can be seen in the center to the right, and that dam then is much higher then today. A big raft with high dive is on right side.

Here is one of the water parks attractions seen from above pictures. This is a big high slide on one side and a high diving platform on another side.

To the r ight is Mr. Rober t Skelton, a well know water safety expert around the Midwest. He was invited here to help run a water carnival and many life saving demonstrations. This 1927 big water carnival was expected to see 3,000 to 4,000 people on a Sunday. There was 12 athlete competition events for the kids and high school students. Many prizes provided by business owners uptown were handed out to the winners of each event. Various food tents would be all around, with some times some local fiddling music, etc.

Dear Dave,My wife is so charged up after

reading your books, and now she is determined to get us out of debt. I know this is good idea, but I just don’t have the passion for it she does. There are also some things I really don’t want to give up. Do you have some suggestions for getting motivated?

KenDear Ken,Goals and dreams always have a

better chance of coming true if you have a written game plan. Sit down with your wife at the beginning of each month, and help her do a written budget. Give every dollar a name on paper before you spend anything.

Contrary to popular belief, doing a budget is not torture. It’s also not just a math exercise. It’s an opportunity for you both to have input on what you want to accomplish in life and how to make it happen. After two people are married they become “as one.” And that’s how decisions should be made in a marriage—facing all the problems, dreams, and fears together.

Once you sit down and do a budget, I think you’ll see where you can cut back and make things happen that you thought were impossible before. You may have to give up a few things for a little while, but when you see

how quickly you can get ahead by making your money behave, I’ve got a feeling you’ll get excited about the possibilities!

—Dave Dear Dave,We’ve followed your advice and put

our kids on commissions instead of allowances. The problem is our 8-year-old. He never buys anything, and he seems to be very frugal by nature. Do you have any advice for teaching him it is okay to spend money sometimes?

StephenDear Stephen,You’re absolutely right for wanting

to teach him wise spending habits. Each of us has the personality of being either a saver or a spender. As parents, we should help our kids grow in areas where they have weaknesses, and find ways to enhance their strengths.

Give him praise for being such a good saver, but gently encourage him to spend a little, too. Spending is one of the rewards of work and disciplined saving. You might urge him to pick out something he really wants, and help him make a plan to save enough money to buy that item. Once he has enough money for the purchase, turn it into a celebration of reaching that goal.

There are three things you can do

with money—spend it, save it, and give it to others. Focusing too much, or too little, on any of these is not financially or spiritually healthy.

213 E. 5th • Canton(605) 764-2000

By Emily SouvignierWith the announcement of the

retirement of John Anderson from the family business that was started by his great-grandfather - also named John Anderson - nearly 140 years ago, there’s no more appropriate time than now to take a step back into the past for a glimpse at the legacy of Anderson Funeral Home and the family that started it all.

It was 1881 when Anderson Bros. Furniture Store opened in Beloit, Iowa, just across the Big Sioux River from Canton. The business was started by John Anderson and his brother, Peder.

Joh n A nder son was bor n on September 3, 1854 in Mosejeon, Norway and was the youngest of ten children to Anders and Kristianna Marken. At the age of eighteen, he immigrated to the United States with his parents and they settled in Beloit in 1873.

At the time, Beloit was a prosperous town complete with a f lour mill, a grinding elevator, several stores and shops, a few real estate offices and even a school. Beloit was also a busy railroad center, with the Sioux City-Alpina railroad running straight through the center of town, stretching all the way from Texas to Canada.

John, who had been a cabinet maker since arriving in America, opened the Anderson Bros. Furniture Store with his brother Peder, and joined other Beloit merchants such as J. A. Carpenter & Sons Flour Mill, Keep & Carpenter General Store and M. Nelson, a dealer in hardware, stoves and tinware. John oftentimes made coffins for people in the area as well.

Within the first year after opening its doors, the historic winter of 1881-1882 resulted in major flooding along the Big Sioux River after a reported eleven feet of spring snowfall began to melt. Several railroad bridges were washed out, and the Sioux City-Alpina line was sold to the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Pacific Railroad after recovery

efforts suffered. The railroad line was moved from Beloit to Canton, and many businesses followed.

Anderson Bros. Furniture was one of the businesses to make the move from Beloit to Canton during the winter of 1882-1883. The furniture

was reportedly loaded on hay racks and transported across the icy Big Sioux River.

Other Canton businesses at the time were Canton Livery, T. P. Thompson & Co. Hardware Store, and M. B. Dean & Co. Palace Dry Goods, as well as Canton’s first furniture store, H. Woerz Furniture. Anderson’s was originally located at 116 South Main Street and carried several types of furniture

including sewing machines and pianos as well as coffins and caskets.

In 1895, Peder Anderson left the furniture business and built a grocery store on Main Street and Anderson Bros. Furniture was renamed John Anderson Furniture.

While still living in Beloit, John married Ingeborg Holie on April 2, 1877 and together they had ten children. Joseph “Joe” J. Anderson, first son of John and Ingeborg, joined his father in the business and John Anderson & Son opened in January of 1906. Eventually, John’s sons Clarence

and Elmer also joined the business. After becoming a licensed funeral director

through the University of South Dakota in 1906, Joe Anderson established Anderson Funeral Home at its original location on 6th Street.

In 1921, John purchased a building located at 115 West 5th Street from the Kennedy family and moved the

furniture store there, where it remained in operation until the business closed in 1987. Some of the Canton businesses during this time period were T. T. Sexe Clothing Store, J. C. Penney’s, Stilley’s Confectionery, A. G. Noid Pharmacy, P. S. Puckett Ready to Wear and Farmer’s Lumber Co.

John passed away in February 1922 at the age of 68. Forty-eight of those years had been spent either making or selling

furniture. In 1951, after 46 years in the family business, Joe Anderson passed away, leaving J.

Anderson and Sons Furniture Store and Anderson Funeral Home to Clarence.

In 1961, Anderson Funeral Home moved from its original location on 6th Street to a new building at 403 North Main Street, where it currently stands today. Clarence operated both businesses on his own until his son, Don, joined him in 1948. At the age of 69 years old, Clarence passed away in 1965, and Don took on full ownership.

Anderson Furniture celebrated 100 years of business in June of 1981. Don Anderson, with the assistance of his two sons John and Gary, operated the store and hosted an anniversary celebration sale at the store’s location on 5th Street. To help celebrate, Anderson’s

displayed various p i e c e s o f furniture in the front window that h a d b e e n purchased by members of

the community over the course of their first 100 years in business. The store remained in operation until they closed their doors in 1987.

From 1965 to 1996, Don Anderson owned and operated both the funeral home and the furniture store and was assisted by John and Gary for several years. When the furniture store closed, John continued to work with Don at Anderson Funeral Home, and when Don retired in 1996, John took on full ownership. Don passed away in March 2013.

Also worth noting is the fact that the Anderson family operated the local ambulance service for several decades

before the South Dakota Ambulance Association was established. While it is unknown the exact year the Anderson family began operating the ambulance, it was during the early 1970s that they retired from providing the service to the community. The family operated using an ambulance/hearse conversion vehicle, oftentimes having to quickly convert between their funeral set-up and ambulance set-up.

At one point in time, both Don and John also served as the Lincoln County Coroner. While Don held the position of lead coroner for several years, John served as the Deputy Coroner until

Don’s retirement. John then took on the position as lead coroner for another thirty years.

On August 30, 2016, the building that once housed Anderson Furniture suffered a partial collapse due to structural deterioration. At the time, the building was occupied by Lincoln County Antiques, and luckily no one was injured in the collapse. Further examination determined the existing structure could not be saved, and within two days a demolition crew moved in and the building was torn down completely. All that remains of the building today is the empty lot that at one time housed Anderson Furniture for 66 years, as well as several other businesses.

Even with the retirement of John Anderson from the family business that began over 138 years ago, the legacy of the Anderson family and their service to the Canton area will continue to live on through the solid foundation they created in Anderson Funeral Home for generations to come.

Andy McCann, who began working for John at Anderson Funeral Home in 2006, officially took over ownership of the business on January 1, 2019.

The Sioux Valley News congratulates John on his well-deserved retirement. Thank you John, to both you and the many generations of Andersons who came before you, for selflessly serving the Canton community in the professional, caring and compassionate manner in which you did for so many years.

A big congratulations also goes out to Andy as he begins this new chapter as the new owner of Anderson Funeral Home.

John Anderson came to America in 1873 and became a cabinet maker, often making coffins for people living in the area. He and his brother, Peder, established Anderson Bros. Furniture Store in Beloit in 1881.

Joseph Anderson, the first son of John, joined his father at Anderson Bros. Furniture Store in 1906. Joe was the first in the family to become a licensed Funeral Director, and he established Anderson Funeral Home in 1906 as well.

Following World War II, Clarence Anderson joined his brother Joe in the funeral home and furniture business. After Clarence passed away in 1951, Clarence operated the business until his death in 1965.

In 1948, Don Anderson, son of Clarence, joined J. Anderson & Sons Inc. and was the owner of the family business from 1965 to 1996. When he retired, his son John Anderson took over sole ownership until his own retirement just this year. Don, shown above with his wife Dotty, passed away in March 2013.

A Step Into the Past: Anderson and Sons Funeral Home

Anderson Bros. Furniture Store moved to Canton at the end of 1882 after significant flooding forced many businesses in Beloit to move. Their first store, pictured above, was located on South Main Street.

In 1921, John Anderson purchased a building on 5th Street from the Kennedy family and moved the furniture store there, where it remained until it closed in 1987. Today, the building is no longer standing. In 2016, the building suffered from a partial collapse, which led to a complete demolition of the structure.

Anderson Funeral Home was first located on 6th Street and moved to its current location at 403 North main Street in 1961. Shown above is the funeral home when it was first built.

Originally printed in the 1981 Anderson Furniture Centennial Edition of the Sioux Valley News to commemorate 100 years of business, Don Anderson is shown above with his sons, Gary (left) and John (right) in Anderson Furniture, located at the time on 115 West 5th Street. The store was in operation until 1987.

John Anderson’s sons assisted him at both the furniture store and also at Anderson Funeral Home when it was established in 1906. Shown above from left to right are brothers Joe Anderson, Elmer Anderson and Clarence Anderson.

By Rollie SteckThe Canton School Board met in

regular session on Monday, July 8 at 7 p.m. at the Canton High School Library. All members were present at the time of roll call.

B u s i n e s s M a n a g e r N a n c y Thompson gave her monthly report. She noted that they did some year-end adjustments of the financial funds. She also said they moved some the salary funds to the food service fund. Motion to approve the financial statements and Business Manager’s report by School Board Member Tanya Iverson. Seconded by School Board Member Crystal Dietzenbach. Unanimous approval.

Next Thompson gave the Secretary Report. She noted that the Cafeteria just completed a lengthy food service review. She said the School Cafeterias have to go through this process every five years. During the review process, they go through every detail including things such a recordings of all of the food temperature, etc. Thompson said it was a lengthy process. She said no major corrective actions were found. School Board President Todd Gannon wanted to thank Thompson for going through this very painful process.

Next, Superintendent Terry Gerber gave his Superintendent’s report. Gerber noted that one of the issues that Carnegie Center for the Arts-Canton, SD is encountering is the artists/songwriters would like to have alcohol in the set room. Gannon said he would never want the School District to sell alcohol at any event. Gerber wanted to know if the performers are allowed to have alcohol at events. He noted a lot of performing arts centers do allow alcohol in the set room, but most of those Performing Arts Centers are usually run by the municipalities. This situation is unique because this PAC is run by the School District. School Board Member Todd Larson asked if the group had run into issues. Thompson mentioned that they had a wedding in the gym and the School Board adopted a no alcohol policy. Gannon will contact some of the other schools with Performing Arts Centers and report back to the Board.

Next Gerber mentioned that a number of people want to park their cars inside the stadium during football games. He noted that the School is going to start live-streaming the games as well. Gerber said he is questioning if the School District should be allowing people to park their cars inside the stadium. School Board Member John Gustad said no. Gannon said they do not need people coming in and out and it also becomes a liability issue. School Board Member Tanya Iverson said they should not be allowed anymore. School Board Member Scott Larson agreed. School Board Member Jennifer Skiles said to put a little piece in the Sioux Valley News that the School District is no longer allowing cars to be parked in the Stadium due to safety issues.

The first item under New Business

was to address South Dakota High School Activit ies Associat ion Transgender Survey. Gerber said they do not need a policy at this time, but the School District is being asked to respond to the survey from the SDHSAA. Gerber had a document explaining the four options, and a summary is below.

Keep the Current Policy: All member schools follow this policy unless the Dist r ict submits a “Transgender Policy Exemption Form”, which is currently reserved for pr ivate schools only with religious exemptions

Adopt an “opt in” model: Instead of having a state-wide policy, treat the current policy as a model policy and allow local school boards to determine if they want to adopt the SDHSAA policy or create their own.

Expand the SDHSAA Transgender Policy Exemption Form: This would keep the current policy in place as a state-wide model, but would expand the criteria on the exemption form to include any SDHSAA member schools, as opposed to being limited to private schools. School Boards would decide locally if they desired to “opt out” and complete the Exemption Form.

Remove the SDHSAA Transgender Policy/Procedure entirely: This would el iminate t ransgender participation entirely and determine participation by birth certificate. There are complications with this solution, including potential lawsuits and no clear direction of what to do with the very small number of students who have already been granted the exemption.

Gerber said he was concerned with option two because he did not want the School District to be a test case. Gerber said he was in favor of option three, which currently keeps the State-wide model. He said this option would provide the School District with the most flexibility.

Gerber said option four would remove the transgender policy entirely and require going by what is on the student’s birth certificate. Gerber said there are multiple students in the State that already participate. Gerber said since the State Legislature and the SDHSAA cannot come to a conclusion, he does not believe the School District should formally select an option. Gannon said the School District needs to align with a bigger governing body because the School District does not want to be involved with a lawsuit. Scott Larson said he likes option three. Iverson suggested not to reply to the survey and mentioned that she thinks that option four is best. After discussion, the School Board decided to form a committee to reply to the survey. Skiles, Gustad and Future School Board Member Josh Otkins agreed to be on the committee.

Next on the agenda was to recognize Todd Larson for his seven years of service on the School Board. Gannon personally thanked Todd Larson for his service. Gerber presented Todd Larson with an engraved clock.

To d d L a r s o n t h a n ke d t h e community and said it was an

opportunity and privilege to serve the School District. He said his biggest highlight was the Performing Arts Center. Applause from all in attendance occurred. Gannon said he was very thankful for Todd Larson’s service with the School Board.

Motion to recess at 7:41 p.m. by Iverson. Seconded by Todd Larson.

At 8 p.m. Gannon called the meeting back to order for the proposed budget hearing. Thompson noted that there were no changes to the proposed budget. With no public questions, Gannon closed the hearing. Motion to approve the proposed budget

by Iverson. Seconded by Skiles. Unanimous approval.

After the proposed budget hearing, the Annual Meeting was called to order at 8:01 p.m. The first order of business was to sign the oath of office for new School Board Member Josh Otkins.

Next was the election for President of School Board for the 2019-2020 School year. A nomination was received for Todd Gannon to be elected President of the Board. Seconded by Gustad. Motion to close the nomination by School Board Member Crystal Dietzenbach. Seconded by Skiles. Unanimous approval.

Next was the election for Vice President of the School Board for the 2019-2020 School year. Gannon nominated Gustad to be Vice President. Seconded by Scott Larson. Gannon asked for any other nominations. With no other nominations, unanimous approval.

Next on the agenda was discussion regarding increasing the substitute teacher daily pay. Currently the pay is set at $110/day and after ten days in the same classroom, day eleven would be $120/day. The new rates would be $120/day and $140/day respectively. Gustad asked if this falls in line with other School

Districts in the area. Gerber said that we compete with Lennox and Harrisburg. Gannon noted that they pay around $150/day and said the School District cannot pay that rate with the current budget. Gannon asked Citizen Shelly Eich had any input. Eich asked where the arbitrary ten days in the same classroom came from. Gannon said you have to start somewhere with the extra incentive. Eich asked why she would not get the higher rate on day one if she is contracted to be a long-term substitute teacher. She asked if anyone has been gone ten

days without any sort of plan. Gustad said he wanted to add

a quick amendment stating that on day eleven, the rate of $140/day would be retroactive to day one. All School Board members agreed. Eich mentioned that the Harrisburg School District will automatically bump up your pay on day ten regardless of what classroom. Gannon said he liked the retroactive pay as long as it was in the same classroom. Motion to approve by Scott Larson. Seconded by Dietzenbach. Unanimous approval.

Next on the agenda was to establish the substitute paraprofessional pay rate. Gerber said the current rate of $10/hr was significantly behind other School Districts. The new starting wage would be $12.50/hr. Gerber said they are getting paid the same as other School District employees, but they are not receiving full-time benef its. Eich also noted from personal experience that subbing for an aid can be much more work, but she was looking forward to the progress. Motion to approve by Dietzenbach. Seconded by Skiles. Unanimous approval.

Motion to adjourn at 8:30 p.m. by Dietzenbach. Seconded by Gustad. Unanimous approval.

School Board Recognizes Todd Larson for Seven Years of Service

By Rollie SteckThe Canton City Commission

met in regular session on Monday, July 15 at 7 p.m. at the Depot. All Members were present at the time of roll call.

With no Visitors to be Heard and no Old Business, the first item under New Business was to give a Proclamation to Ryan Vandemore for 25 years of service with the City of Canton. Mayor Sandra Lundstrom asked Vandemore to come forward so she could read the proclamation, which is stated as follows:

Proclamation of the City of Canton, South Dakota

R E C O G N I Z I N G RYA N VANDEMORE FOR 25 YEARS OF SERVICE FOR THE CITY OF CANTON

WHEREAS, Ryan Vandemore has served the City of Canton since May 1994 with dedication and distinction; and

WHEREAS, these years of service have been marked by exemplary and energetic leadership in the vital accomplishments of this City; and

W H ER EAS, t he employees and commissioners of the City of Canton wish to extend their deep appreciation to Ryan Vandemore for his consistency and strong support of the City through the years by serving as Seasonal Park Maintenance, Water/Sewer Operator, Assistant Water/Sewer Superintendent, and Street Maintenance; and

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT PROCLAIMED by the Mayor of the City of Canton, South Dakota, that Ryan Vandemore be commended for his outstanding efforts, and we express our appreciation for his leadership in all areas of community improvement. Signed and presented on this 15th day of July, 2019.

Next under New Business was to approve an Employee Promotion. Head Guard Nichole Iverson will be done at the Pool on July 21. It has been recommended to promote Wyatt Anderson to Head Guard at a wage of $11.34/hr. Motion to approve by Commissioner Todd Baldwin. Seconded by Commissioner Sara Steffensen. Unanimous approval.

Next on the agenda was to approve the DENR Completion Paperwork to close out the High Service Pump Station project. In order to close out the project, the DENR needs the Davis-Bacon Act Certification and Certificate of Acceptance signed by the City. Project Engineer Kyle Lentsch has signed off on the project. Motion to approve by Commissioner Jerry Chaon. Seconded by Baldwin. Unanimous approval.

Next under New Business was to approve a Duck Splat Bingo request from Celebrate Canton. Tickets will be sold for $5 and the grand prize will be $100. Motion to approve by Commissioner Moses Isais. Seconded by Baldwin. Unanimous approval.

Highway 18 Street Sweeping contract was next on the agenda. The SD DOT has submitted a three year street sweeping contract to the City. The contract is based on estimated hours and can be amended to reflect the actual hours. The estimate has the SD DOT paying the City $1,000 per year for three years. The City would sweep three to five times per year. The City is currently regularly sweeping Highway 18. Motion to approve by Isais. Seconded by Steffensen. Unanimous approval.

Next on the agenda was a Street Closure Request from the Fire Department to hold their annual Fire Department Water Fights on July 27.

The street will need to be closed from 1:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. and depending on the direction of the wind more streets will need to be closed. Motion to approve by Baldwin. Seconded by Isais. Unanimous approval.

The final item under New Business was a request for a Celebrate Canton Petting Zoo for Town and Country days on July 25. As part of Celebrate Canton week, they have planned for Laurel Laubach to bring in a few animals for a petting zoo. Currently, there is no liability coverage for this event. Canton Chamber of Commerce Director Lisa Alden noted that Celebrate Canton has enough funds if the City does not want to cover the cost of the insurance coverage. HR Administrative Coordinator Larissa Thorne said that waivers will also need to be signed by the parents. Isais asked if Laubach was willing to take on the extra role. Alden said she is willing to help Laubach with the waivers. Citizen Roger Simunek asked why this event was not sanctioned by the City. He also noted that we want to encourage the community to do these events to continue to bring people into the City. Finance Officer Kyle Cwach said that the Celebrate Canton is a separate entity and not part of the official City of Canton government.

Steffensen mentioned that the reason this is an issue this year is because of the timing. Simunek asked why not have all these events be sanctioned by the City. Steffensen said it would be hard with a week’s notice and she would be open to the idea next year. Isais said we need to create a board. Alden mentioned that Thorne is already a part of Celebrate Canton. Steffensen asked if Celebrate Canton would pay for the insurance this year and develop a board so that these events can be sanctioned by the City in the future. Simunek mentioned that Celebrate Canton does these events to sell the City of Canton to others. Steffensen agreed with Simunek. Simunek suggested that a board be developed in four to five months to start planning for future years. Motion that Celebrate Canton pay for

the insurance coverage this year by Steffensen. Seconded by Baldwin. Unanimous approval.

During Commissioner Dialogue, Mayor Lundstrom mentioned the additional lighting request that

would be used along Highway 18 by Gate City Events has been sent and received by the SD DOT. She also noted that the WaterTower Improvement Engineering Agreement between the City andHDR that was approved on April 15 has been approved by the City Attorney. She also encouragedeveryone to check out the Sioux Valley News and the Celebrate Canton Facebook page to check outthe upcoming events.

Chaon mentioned that the FormerCity of Canton Water DepartmentHead Donald Ulrickson passedaway last week. Mayor Lundstrom ment ioned that they d id getf lowers. Baldwin noted that they are aggressively getting after the parking issues on the streets. He said no more than 72 hours on the street. He said the Police Departmentwill be hanging red tags. MayorLundst rom clar if ied that also includes cars, boats, trailers, etc. Baldwin also noted that the parks look great. Public Works DirectorChris Krogmann noted that the kids have been working hard.

Steffensen said that the sales tax numbers for June were good. She said we are very fortunate forour revenue compared to othercommunities.

Isais wanted to give an update about the street buckling on Monday afternoon on 5th Street. Krogmann said they had a road buckle at 5th Street and Cedar Street.

Kaden Laubach was the 4H Heartland Rodeo champion in saddle bronc yesterday. The rodeo was inHuron. This qualifies him for the state finals in FT. Pierre in August.

Sunday was the final round of the Open over in Northern Ireland and I watched some of the tourney over the weekend and joined in on Sunday to see if my guys were making a move on the leader and when I got settled in to watch the leaders were on the 14th hole and my players were no where to be found. Shane Lowry was leading in this course that will kill most golfers but Shane was scoring good enough to put pressure on everyone else on the course. He was hitting shots out of grass that I bet you can barely walk through with the tall weeds but this

guy was dropping the ball nicely on the green. It was fun watching him pull out these shots from somewhere that not to many others could do. It was so windy on the final round that not to many even played under par and Lowry didn’t even do it so I think that is pretty fun to watch the golfers have a hard time scoring real good. I sat and watched and figured in the 18 holes they played Sunday I bet I could of lost about 120 golf balls around the course. When you watch the Open in Ireland, Scotland or England it always seems like the course isn’t kept up but I bet in

person the place is beautiful. As a wrestler in high school the

Fargo Tourney is for the top high school wrestlers and upcoming senior Kellyn March went up andwrestled at 132 pound class and in the Greco-Roman style of wrestling Kellyn lost in the semi finals 12-10 to the eventual champion with a tough call at the end of the match butKellyn came back and won his nextmatch with a tech fall then beat a kidfrom Wisconsin 10-0 to finish in 3rdplace to earn Junior All-American in Greco-Roman. Congratulations Kellyn and I also heard Shaeden Scheidt finished with a 4-2 recordin the Freestyle competition but didnot earn All-American as he fell a couple wins away. Cullen Rutten also participated at Fargo but did notfind his results but will pass them along when I get them.
