Mrs. Waldow calls it a career
after 45 years in education
Polly Hooks, an International Exchange Coordinator for EF Foundation for Foreign Study, presents Jerry Hartley, left, Principal of Clark
High School with the 2012 Global Education Excellence Award and presents Greg Furness with the President’s Volunteer Service Award for his
support of the EF Foundation for Foreign Study. These awards were
presented at the Clark High School Awards Night.

graduation, as he returns to his spot after receiving a nice commendation from Clark High School Class of 2012 president, Jill Stern.
Greg Furness is honored
by foreign exchange group
At the Clark High School Awards
Night, the following was read by
Polly Hooks, International Exchange Coordinator, EF Foundation
for Foreign Study.
“Greg Furness has earned, from
President Obama, the President’s
Volunteer Service Award for his
support of the nonprofit organization, EF Foundation for Foreign
Study, not only for months, but the
past several years, Greg has opened
his heart and home to several young
students from Western Europe. As
a host family in Clark, he has been
instrumental in supporting a priority United States foreign policy goal
of expanding communications between U.S. citizens and people from
other countries.”

“She’s been an awesome teacher
for a long time,” stated Willow Lake
superintendent Terry Winegar of
retiring third grade teacher Marjean Waldow. “We couldn’t be more
proud, but are also sad she’s retiring.
Her students had this to say of
their teacher Mrs. Waldow. “She’s
fun to be with. She lets us do stuff
that other teachers don’t do. She
lets us have crazy class pets. She
does awesome things, brings us fun
places, we do lots of art and she
feeds us a lot. She’s the best teacher ever.”
This year’s senior class also has
good memories of their third grade
with Mrs. Waldow and recently
opened their ‘Memory Boxes’ in her
presence and had fun reminiscing.
The ‘Memory Boxes’ are something she started many, many years
ago. She has her students fill a shoe
box with special items they choose
from their life that year. Most have
schoolwork, stories they have written, art projects, maybe items from
home or souvenirs they bought
that year. She also has the parents write a letter to their child and
put it in the box. The box is then
taped up tightly with a note on top
that says ‘Do not open until graduation’. This year nine of the 14 students opened their boxes together
and were surprised at the contents.
“It’s always fun for them to see their
work and their handwriting in the
third grade,” says Waldow. “Their
comments are precious.”
She’s more of an activity type
of person she says and everything
they do is connected to a story, a
science project or a subject matter
for learning purposes. “I like to surprise them and keep them on edge
- wanting to know what the next
day will bring. We’re always busy
- there’s not a lot of free time,” says
Waldow.

Sleep Apnea
Thoughts at Large
By Richard P. Holm, M.D.
There is an old German folk tale about Ondine, a beautiful young water
nymph who fell in love with a handsome mortal. Her lover promised, “My
every waking breath is a testimony of my love,” and yet later Ondine discovered the mortal to be unfaithful. Her father, the nymph king, then placed a
curse on the fickle lover making his breathing a conscious and not automatic
process. Thus, if the mortal should fall asleep, he would forget to breathe.
Eventually Ondine’s cursed lover succumbed to complete exhaustion, fell
asleep, and died.
The name “Ondine’s Curse” was first used in 1962 to describe three brain
surgery patients who died resulting from the loss of the autonomic drive to
breathe during sleep. The name subsequently came to be used to describe
a rare congenital syndrome in babies with a similar inadequate breathing
drive. More recently experts advise the name Ondine’s Curse be dropped
since the word “curse” implies wrongdoing and guilt to the parents of these
unfortunate babies.
I think this story better relates to the broad category of conditions called
sleep apnea, which involves troubled breathing while asleep. The word apnea
actually means “no breath” or “breathless.” Less than one percent of patients
with sleep apnea is due to weakness of the brain-controlled autonomic drive
to breathe, called central apnea; 85 percent is due to floppy-fatty airways
that obstruct breathing, called obstructive apnea; and the rest is due to a
combination of central and obstructive causes, called complex apnea.
Whichever the type, sleep apnea can be a dangerous, even deadly condition, resulting in excessive daytime sleepiness, depression, anger and irritability, memory loss, and even strokes. What’s more, prolonged low-oxygen
causes increased risk for high blood pressure, congestive heart failure, heart
attack, and sudden death.
Clues for this serious condition include high blood pressure, morning headaches, sudden awakening with shortness of breath, observed spells of breathing cessation, especially in people who are obese, loud snorers, smokers, or
sedated by alcohol or sleeping meds. Then again sometimes there is little
warning and sleep apnea is a silent killer.
If you or your spouse could have sleep apnea, see your doctor. You wouldn’t
want to have Ondine’s curse.

Safe Travel Urged for Holiday Weekend
Gov. Dennis Daugaard is asking
motorists to be extra cautious on
South Dakota highways during the
upcoming Memorial Day weekend.
South Dakota highways have
been fatality-free during this threeday holiday weekend the last two
years. In 2011, however, 30 people
were injured in 123 crashes. Eight
of those crashes were alcohol-related, according to statistics from the
State Office of Highway Safety.
“Memorial Day weekend is the
kickoff for the summer travel season, and highways will almost certainly be busier than usual with
many families traveling during
the holiday period,’’ Gov. Daugaard
said. “I hope everyone has a great
time with family and friends. Please
make safe choices as you travel, and
please follow traffic laws that are in
place to help keep all of us safe.’’
The Governor encourages drivers
to:
• Follow speed limits. It is not
safe to travel faster than posted
speed limits. • Wear a seatbelt. As
the Office of Highway Safety slogan
says, “Someone needs you. Buckle
up.’’ • Avoid drinking and driving.
• Avoid distractions. • Slow down
through construction zones, not
only because fines are double in
those zones but also for your own
safety and the safety of highway
workers.

Why Driving is Better than Flying
I was going to Las Vegas for the National Association of Broadcasters convention (unfortunately, nothing happened in Vegas that needed
to stay in Vegas). I even won $22.13 on a slot machine, which was just
enough to cover the cost of a blueberry Danish I had for breakfast, but
that’s a story for another time.
To get there I flew on a commercial airline. Now, I’ll admit up front
that I like to drive, I always have, but I thought it would save time to fly
the 1,401 miles. Except, I had to arrive two hours early at the airport to
get my seat assignment, buy some gum, head up to the boarding area, get
on the plane, sit there for 45 minutes and then take-off. Seasoned travelers in the audience will notice that I missed one important stop; security check-in. It used to be that, at an airport, the term “take-off” had
something to do with getting the plane airborne. Now it means take off
your shoes, take your laptop out and put it in a separate container to be
X-rayed, take off your coat, take off your belt, take off your watch, take
off your jewelry, and take everything out of your pockets. Then you get
to walk into a machine that looks like something from the original “Star
Trek” TV show that the Romulans would use to incinerate prisoners.
And, if you miss even one penny in your pocket, like I did, you are asked
to move away from everyone else, stand on a special pad and have a guy
who just seems to enjoy his job too much pat you down. Even if you dig
into your pocket, find the penny and say “oh here it is, how about if I just
go back into the incinerator for another dose of radiation?” Noooo, they
have to pat you down. At least that is what the TSA guy said. In all my
years of driving cars the only pat-downs were at the drive-in theatre with
Liz Edmonds when I was a sophomore at good old WDHS.
I know, they are only doing this to protect us, but other countries don’t
do it at these lengths even in Israel who is certainly a target and much
closer to the bad guys than we are.
Maybe it did take less time than if I had driven, but it would have
been a lot less stressful.

Oak Tree Energy’s response to an article by Bob Mercer
In early May of 2012, an opinion piece written by
Bob Mercer appeared in several South Dakota newspapers. Oak Tree Energy (OTE) thinks it is important
to refute various inaccuracies in Mr. Mercer’s article.
In general, Mr. Mercer has attempted to convince his
readership of various “facts,” many of which are untrue
or misleading. Despite his status as being a reporter,
Mr. Mercer never once attempted to talk to Oak Tree or
its representatives prior to publishing his piece. This is
troubling considering that one would think Mr. Mercer
would be concerned about the accuracy of the statements he makes as a professional reporter.
First, Oak Tree is not an out of state corporation in the
sense that Mr. Mercer wishes to convey by pointing out
that Oak Tree is incorporated in Delaware. Oak Tree is
owned and operated by the Makens family, who have
lived and operated a farm in Clark, South Dakota for
generations. Oak Tree is a local entity; not some nefarious out of state entity seeking to exploit South Dakota ratepayers as implied by Mr. Mercer. Mercer failed
to say that NorthWestern Corporation, doing business
as Northwestern Energy (NWE), is also incorporated in
Delaware.
Second, Despite Mr. Mercer’s insinuation to the contrary, Oak Tree is not attempting to obtain a windfall at
the expense of South Dakota’s ratepayers. Oak Tree
believes that its offer to NorthWestern Energy is substantially below the utility’s avoided cost, or the cost
that it would otherwise pay for power. Obviously, if Oak
Tree is correct, its offer would be a substantial benefit
to NorthWestern’s South Dakota ratepayers.
Third, Mr. Mercer apparently does not realize it is bad
public policy to have a monopoly decide how much to
charge its customers. NorthWestern Energy, as an
entity that owns generation, is a competitor to Oak
Tree Energy. OTE only wants to get paid what NorthWestern itself would pay for power as determined by
the South Dakota Public Utilities Commission, not what
NWE would like to pay so it can eliminate the competition. Oak Tree has confidence that the South Dakota
PUC will properly set the rate.
Fourth, Oak Tree Energy is not asking for a rate to
eliminate all risks, as Mr. Mercer seems to believe.
Oak Tree, as any investor, wants to ensure that whatever rate is set by the PUC will be sufficient to manage
the risk of the unknown and earn a fair return.
Fifth, Mr. Mercer is flatly wrong in suggesting that
wind generation is too unreliable to be valuable to South
Dakota ratepayers. Interestingly, NorthWestern made
no objection that wind was too unreliable to serve its
Montana customers when it made the case for owning
the Spion Kop project before the Montana Public Service Commission. Regarding the NorthWestern power
purchase of the British Petroleum Titan I wind project,
NWE has made no claim that its power is unreliable.
To the contrary, NorthWestern has promoted the many
benefits of the BP wind farm.
Sixth, Mr. Mercer also makes the odd claim that “customers of NorthWestern essentially have to pay twice
for the costs of generating the 19.5 megawatts.” However, NorthWestern will not have to buy generation to
replace the output of Oak Tree; NorthWestern at present pays nothing for “firming resources.” These services are, at present, paid for by the Western Area Power
Administration.
Seventh, Mr. Mercer’s comparison of Oak Tree to a
“gangster,” NorthWestern to a hapless extortion victim,
and the PUC to a crooked cop is completely absurd.
Oak Tree has earnestly pursued its right to provide
electricity to NorthWestern at a fair price for all involved, NorthWestern has used its monopoly power to
resist, and the PUC has made every effort to balance
the interests of the parties and ratepayers.
If, as Mr. Mercer suggests, clean energy is a worthy
goal, it isn’t going to happen at a price fair to ratepayers without competition. This is what PURPA provides,
and it holds utilities and independent generators to the
same standards. The Oak Tree Energy Clark Wind
Farm project is good for the Clark community, South
Dakota, NorthWestern’s ratepayers, and our nation.

God Saw You Getting Tired
God saw you getting tired
and a cure was not to be
so he put his arms around you
and whispered,
“Come to Me”
With tearful eyes we watched
you and saw you pass away
and although we love you dearly
we could not make you stay.
A Golden heart stopped beating
hard working hands at rest.
God broke our hearts
to prove to us
He only takes the best

As I Sit in Heaven
As I sit in Heaven, and watch you everyday
I try and let you know with signs, I never went away.
I hear you when you’re laughing, and I watch you as you sleep.
I even place my arms around you to calm you as you weep.
I see you wish the days away, begging to have me home
So I try to send you signs, so you know you’re not alone.
Don’t feel guilty that you have life that was denied to me,
Heaven is truly beautiful, just you wait and see!
So live your life, laugh again, enjoy yourself, be free
Then I’ll know with every breath you take,
you’ll be taking one for me!
Missed by wife Linda and eight children

These two Cyclone jumpers dominated their events at the Region 2A
Track and Field Meet Thursday, at Hayti. Angela Young, left, won the triple jump, going 32’ 3.5”. Janelle Paulson, right, won the long jump with
a leap of 17’ 4.5”.
Thirteen Cyclone tracksters will be competing this weekend at the
State ‘A’ Track Meet in Spearfish, Friday, and Rapid City, Saturday.
On the boys side, four of five relays as well as five in individual events
will be competing at state.
Thirteen Cyclones, boys and girls, qualify
for this weekend’s State ‘A’ Track Meet
▲ Cyclone boys finish second at Region 2A
Good results, horrible wind, is
how Clark-Willow Lake girls and
boys track coach Kevin Petersen
looked at Thursday’s Region 2A
track meet, at Hayti.
The wind was constant, with
gusts in the 35-50 mph range, and
the temperature was in the mid80’s.
The Cyclone boys team scored 111
points finishing second in the region
behind Sioux Valley with 188. Sioux
Valley also won the girls championship with 138 points. Clark-Willow
Lake was fourth with 99 points.
The top two place finishers in
each event qualify for state at the
Region 2A meet. Four individuals
had qualified prior to the region
meets. They include: Kalli Bell in
the discus; Mackenzie Huber in
the shot put; Mikayla Prouty in the
1,600 meter run and Janelle Paulson in the triple jump.
“Our goal at the region meet was
to qualify athletes to the state meet
in the Black Hills this weekend,”
said Petersen. The State ‘A’ Track
Meet is at Spearfish on Friday with
the finals being Saturday in Rapid
City.
On the girls side, five will be competing at State: Janelle Paulson
in the long jumps, triple jump 100
meter dash and 200 meter dash;
Angella Young in the triple jump;
Mikayla Prouty in the 1,600 and
3,200 meter runs; Kalli Bell in the
discus.
On the boys side, eight athletes
will compete in seven events; including four relays. Jeff McGraw in
100 and 200 meter dashes, the 800
meter relay and sprint medley relay; Sam Lindgren, 1,600 and 3,200
meter relays; Rhett Florey 1,600
meter relay; Skyler Flatten 100
meter dash, 800 meter relay and
medley relay; Andrew Wegner 800
relay; Torrey Kolden, 1,600, 3,200
and medley relays; Lane Hovde,
800 meter relay and Ty Wicks, 800
meter run and 3,200 meter relay.
“It was huge getting four relays
to state and the fifth relay, the
4x100 was really close,” said coach
Petersen. “The 400 meter relay was
somewhat of a longshot, but we
knew we’d be competitive. We ran
a great race and were a stop and a
half away from qualifying.”
Petersen stated that he was very
proud of qualifying fur of the five
relays on the boys side. “We ran
well. We’ve been working very hard
on hand-offs, both open and closed
hand-offs.”
The 3200 meter relay had qualified the previous Saturday and did
not run at the region meet because
of various reasons.
“We’re looking forward to doing
well at the State Track Meet,” said
the Cyclone coach. “We are going to
compete, we’re healthy and with a
week of practice we will be ready to
go after our best performances.”
A big performance might be needed in each relay as with the windy
regional meet, the times might be
slower than normal, forcing the
relay team into a stiffer, more com-

Clark rolled to a 22-8 Eastern
Dakota League amateur baseball
win over the Lake Norden Lakers
last Wednesday evening in Lake
Norden.
Ryan Ellingson smacked four hits,
including a home run and a double
to guide the Traders (3-0 overall
and in the EDL). Cody Marzahn,
Scott Varilek, Jay Huber and Brent
Griffith each added two hits. Both
of Huber’s hits were doubles and
Taylor Welk and Bryce DesLauriers
also hit doubles.
Marzahn earned the win on the
mound for Clark.

school baseball season came to an
end with a 10-6 loss to Milbank,
Friday at Milbank, in the North Region 1B playoff game. Milbank now
advances in the state playoffs.
Andrew Wegner and Jeff McGraw
were the pitchers for Clark-Willow
Lake, with Wegner absorbing the
loss on the mound.
“Our defense had been stellar up
until this game,” said baseball coach
Brock Greenfield. “Three errors in
the first, two in the second and one
in the third led to eight Milbank
runs, all of which were unearned.
We worked hard to put the pieces
back together and clawed our way
back into the game, but we missed
a couple golden opportunities to
score. In the sixth, we left the bases loaded and over the course of the
game, we stranded six men in scoring position.”
The offense was productive for
Clark-Willow Lake with highlights
with a walk, stolen base and one
run scored. Rhett Florey, two for
four, one RBI and one run scored.
Garrett Schmidt, two for three with
a double, RBI, a walk, stolen base
and one run scored. Jake Karber,
one for two with a double, three
RBIs, two walks and one run scored.
Andrew Wegner, two for four with a
stolen base. Dylan Wicks, one for
three with one RBI and a stolen
base. Jeff McGraw, one walk and
one run scored. Colin LaBrie, one
run scored.
“It’s a tough way for the boys to
end their high school season. We
had a very talented team, but had
a bit of a let down after our big
first-round victory over top seeded
Redfield. We’ll regroup and be back
with a vengeance on the Legion and
Teener fields this summer and we’ll
have a lot to look forward to next
year when the high school season
rolls around,” ended Greenfield.

This weekend is the South Dakota State Track Meet,
with Class ‘A’ being held in Spearfish on Friday and
the finals at Rapid City, on Saturday.
Cyclone tracksters who qualified for the state meet
include front row, left to right, Lane Hovde, Jeff Mcpetitive flight. “We’ll have to work
hard to make finals, but I truly feel
we will surprise some people. Too
bad there wasn’t nicer weather conditions for a state qualifying event.
We will just have to smile and go
after it.”
“On the girls side, Janelle Paulson had a pretty good day, even if
it doesn’t look that great on paper,”
said Petersen. “She has been fairly
dominate in her four events this
spring.”
“I thought the entire team did
well, considering the wind,” said
Petersen of the girls team. “All
jumpers had their marks thrown off
a little. Janelle, for instance, would
have gained the school record in
the jump, but she wasn’t even on
the white board with her take-off,
a good nine inches to a foot behind
the line. The wind had something to
do with that.”
Paulson won the long jump, with
a jump of 17’ 4.5”. She didn’t triple
jump at Region 2A.
Angela Young won the triple
jump competition, hopping, skipping and jumping 32’ 3.5”. Said Petersen, “She almost qualified in the
300 meter hurdles and she’s only an
eighth grader.”

Cell phones, and increasingly smart phones, are a part of rural life
By Heidi Marttila-Losure,
Dakotafire Media
Reporting by Garrick Moritz,
Faulk County Record and Doug
Card, Britton Journal
“Don’t leave home without it,” a
highly successful ad campaign for
American Express once advised
Americans. Nowadays, the thing
Americans don’t leave home without is their cell phone.
“Anymore cell phones have become essential,” says Kirk Hoefert
of Seneca. “I carry (my phone) continuously either for business or for
family, so that I can receive calls
and texts so that I know what’s going on and who needs what.”
Nationwide, 88 percent of Americans now own a cell phone, according to a February survey by the
Pew Research Center’s Internet &
American Life Project, up from 83
percent in May 2011. The percentage among rural Americans is not
quite as high, but it also is rising
quickly: Eighty percent of rural
Americans said they owned a cell
phone in February, compared to 75
percent in May 2011.
Improvements in cell phone service in many rural areas have made
cell phones more useful for rural
residents, and that has likely led
more people to purchase them.
Jody Sandvig, marketing coordinator for James Valley Telecommunications, said cell phone service has improved exponentially
for their customers in the past
five years, though the process took
some time: The company needed to

they serve (in Brown and surrounding counties). When they reached
a community in that area, flipping
the switch to provide service made
a noticeable difference in daily life.
“In the Frederick school system,
they didn’t have a cell phone policy until we turned on our service,”
Sandvig said. “Then they had to
create one—students now had cell
phone service in the building.”
Not everyone in the rural Dakotas is enjoying great service, however. Cynthia Lambert, editor of the
Redfield Press, said their service
has declined significantly since the
AT&T-Alltel merger last year.
“As I understand it, Alltel and Verizon shared access to service towers, thereby expanding coverage in
rural areas to almost complete coverage,” Lambert wrote in an e-mail.
“After the switch, AT&T is not compatible with the Verizon towers, so
service is horrid.”
Bill Meyer of Meyer Hardware
in Britton, which sells phones and
satellite dishes, said he’s noticed a
big influx of Verizon customers from
AT&T because of lack of coverage.
Service can vary, however—Meyer said one of his employees has
AT&T and is happy with her service.
“There are always pockets where
AT&T is better,” said Meyer. “It’s an
imperfect world, and the sooner you
understand that the better off you
are. The fact of the matter is that
we live in a rural area and it’s never
going to be as good as in the city. A
million-dollar tower for 800 people
just doesn’t make any sense.”
Better cell phone service might
be worth fighting for, however—especially as cell phone usage increasingly becomes smart phone usage.
The February Pew Center survey
found that 46 percent of all Americans own a smart phone, which
for the first time is more than the
percentage that owns a regular cell
phone (41 percent). Smart phone
usage in rural places is not as high,
but it’s gaining quickly: 34 percent
of rural Americans said they owned
a smart phone in February, up from
21 percent in May 2011.
Smart phones provide a whole
new level of information to rural
users. For example, farmers can
use their phones to check market
prices or to calculate loan rates.
Truckers can use a phone’s GPS to
help them chart their routes. And a
whole world of apps is available for
specialty uses.
Rural areas without good mobile
broadband service are at a disadvantage when recruiting businesses, or as existing businesses try to
compete in the larger marketplace,
according to an October 2011 white
paper entitled, “Achieving Rural
Universal Service in a Broadband
Era: Emergent Evidence from the
Evolution of Telephone Demand”
by Jeffrey T. Macher and John W.
Mayo.
By the same token, businesses
in rural areas that have access to
broadband service can narrow the
gap that has normally existed between rural and urban businesses.
The paper’s authors describe it as a
“‘lubricant’ that facilitates the flow
of society’s stock of knowledge to
firms.”
They also found that demand for
wireless access to the Internet (via
cell phone networks) is higher in
rural states than in urban ones.
Sandvig, from James Valley, said
that the industry is moving toward
better service for data transmission
in addition to voice, and they as a
company will be working toward
that as well—but she said that like
most information trends, it will
start in urban areas first.

gentle rain. That means more lawn
mowing, but at least we still have
work to do.

The survey says...
South Dakota newspapers are
main source for local information
South Dakotans turn to newspapers first for local news and information as well as information about
where to shop locally, according to
a recent statewide survey of 500
adults.
South Dakota newspapers outpace all other media as the No. 1
source for local news. The state’s
119 weeklies and 11 dailies also are
the first place South Dakotans go
for local retail advertising information.
The random phone survey of 500
adults was completed in late 2011
by Pulse Research of Portland, Ore.
The survey was commissioned by
South Dakota Newspaper Association.
“Newspapers supply the trusted
content, both news and advertising,
readers are looking for,” said SDNA
President Lucy Halverson, publisher of the Lyman County Herald,
Presho. “Newspapers in South Dakota are an integral part of their
community and will continue to be
well into the future.”
South Dakota daily and weekly
newspapers and their websites are
the No. 1 source for local news and
information for more than twothirds of the adults who participated in the Pulse Research survey.
Almost half of the survey respon-
dents said they look to newspapers
first for local retail advertising information, far outpacing all other
media choices.
Among some of the other key responses from the statewide survey:
Seventy-four percent of South
Dakotans read their local newspaper. At least two adults per household read each issue of South Da-
kota newspapers.
When asked about the credibility and believability of information
they read in newspapers, South Dakotans ranked their local newspapers higher than in previous years
when the same survey question was
asked.
The average age of South Dakotans who read newspapers is 45.

A memorial was given to the Alzheimer's Association in memory of
Clarice Severson. Unit delegates to
the State Convention in Watertown
on June 14-17, 2012 will be Janet
Hurlbert, Marilyn Steiger and Sandy Luke.
Preparations are underway for
the annual Memorial Day observance. The present unit officers
will remain the same for the upcoming year. The next meeting will be
June 11 at 8:00 p.m.
Almost two-thirds of South Dakota
newspaper readers have at least
some level of post-secondary education.
The average household income of
South Dakota newspaper readers is
$59,458. Sixty percent are married.
Pulse Research, Inc., completed
500 phone interviews with South
Dakota adults between Oct. 24-31,
2011. Every South Dakota county is
represented in the phone survey.
South Dakota Newspaper Association, founded in 1882 and based in
Brookings, represents 130 weekly
and daily newspapers with a total
readership of more than 600,000.
whose graves are decorated annually by American
Legion members of Baker Post 209 at Raymond.

Ray Hanson was honored recently for his years of dedicated service
as a certified Shooting Sports leader. He is retiring from Shooting
Sports and couldn’t recall exactly how many years he has held this
volunteer position when he was asked but thought it had to be somewhere between 15-20 years. Hanson was a group leader when his son
Mike started shooting. Hanson, center, is pictured with other archery
enthusiasts from left to right, Dave Adam, Chris Stromsness, Lorie
Springer and Roger Springer.
Pictured below with the leaders are the 4-H Shooting Sports members. In the front row, left to right, Grace Adam, Evan Stromsness,

Post office out-of-state delivery struggles?
Waldow
and cannot be lumped into one set
of standards or rules. Expectations
can be set for each child, but because each child learns differently,
how we teach should be stressed
and not the testing,” comments
Waldow. “Common core standards
are what is “new” in education.
They may look good on paper, but
will they make a difference?”
Mrs. Waldow has been teaching
for 45 years. She taught eight years
in Sioux Falls at Mark Twain and
Garfield Elementary before getting
married and moving to a farm near
Willow Lake. She and Arlin Waldow
were married on July 19, 1975. She
started teaching title (chapter) and
then was a fourth grade teacher.
Shortly after she became the third
grade teacher and has remained
there ever since. She and her husband farmed until their farm was
flooded and is now under Dry Lake.
They currently live in Willow Lake.
Marjean grew up in Stickney and
graduated there in 1964. She got
her bachelors education degree in
three years from Northern State
College in Aberdeen.
Marjean’s husband Arlin has
been her partner also every year
in constructing the homecoming
parade floats. “Homecoming is a
special time. I’m lucky to have a
husband who helps construct and
build the floats,” says Marjean. “I
don’t really plan ahead as we don’t
know our theme until a week or two
before the parade. I’ve always enjoyed the parades.”
The parade floats are just one of
the things she excels at, which Willow Lake parents will miss as Mrs.
Waldow begins her retirement next
year. She likes to garden and read
and is looking forward to traveling
more with her husband. She also
has four grandchildren, Alex, Aidan,
Mason and Aubrey who she’s looking forward to spending more time
with as well as her mother Ann Van
Soest, who lives in Stickney.
“I’ll miss the kids and the people
I’ve worked with. I’ve always been
around people, that may be an adjustment,” ends Marjean. “My husband teases me that I’m going to be
his rock picker, but that’s not going
to happen.”
