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

<strong>Clark</strong> <strong>County</strong> commissioners talk<br />
possible broadcast of meetings<br />
Political correctness and openness<br />
of government are two ‘buzz<br />
words’ or trends of the new millennium.<br />
At Tuesday’s meeting of the <strong>Clark</strong><br />
<strong>County</strong> Board of Commissioners a<br />
group of concerned citizens from the<br />
northern parts of the county were<br />
in attendance to talk about just this<br />
matter...Their right to know!<br />
“It’s hard to argue against openness,”<br />
commented <strong>Clark</strong> <strong>County</strong><br />
States Attorney Chad Fjelland as<br />
the subject was how can everyone<br />
in the county know what’s going on<br />
at the commissioners meeting.<br />
Greg Anderson was the spokesperson<br />
for the group and he is a<br />
proponent of using ITC Community<br />
access Channels as the route to<br />
broadcast commissioner meetings<br />
to all ITC subscribers.<br />
“I think it would be good for our<br />
county, as it would be a live feed of<br />
commissioner’s meetings,” said Anderson.<br />
<strong>Clark</strong> <strong>County</strong> Board of Commissioners<br />
chairman Francis Hass<br />
then asked the commissioners their<br />
thoughts on this matter.<br />
Commissioner Richard Reints,<br />
when he was asked, commented<br />
“My only problem is that not everyone<br />
in the county has the ability<br />
to get ITC, I don’t.” Commissioner<br />
Violet Wicks said that she can’t get<br />
“I’ve had a real good life,” says<br />
Lowell Pederson with a grin. “I’ve<br />
always liked to travel. I’d be the<br />
one who would take off and do odd<br />
jobs in the winter, while my brother<br />
would stay home on the farm.”<br />
Lowell was born on May 9, 1929<br />
on a farm south and east of <strong>Clark</strong>.<br />
“My older brother said he and dad<br />
had gone out working and when<br />
they came back, I was lying on the<br />
oven door,” laughs Pederson. He<br />
www.clarkcountypublishing.com<br />
was the second to the youngest child<br />
in a family of nine children. Gladys,<br />
Thelma, Hazel, Leonard, Myrtle,<br />
Oliver ‘Wayne’, Janice, Lowell<br />
and Walter were born to Hendie<br />
(H.O.) and Christine (Aaker) Pederson.<br />
“Back then everyone had<br />
bigger families. There was always<br />
a lot to do on the farm and everyone<br />
was needed to help out,” stated Pederson.<br />
His father was a farmer by trade,<br />
but in earlier years ran a hardware<br />
store in Flandreau. According to<br />
Lowell, his father was a hard working<br />
farmer and his mother was ‘the<br />
best person you’d ever meet’. He<br />
doesn’t remember his grandparents,<br />
but knows the names are Tollef and<br />
Ingeborg (Blinsmon) Pederson on<br />
his father’s side and both sets of<br />
grandparents were Norwegian.<br />
Growing up near <strong>Clark</strong><br />
“Growing up we always had so<br />
doggone much work to do, there<br />
wasn’t time for playing on the<br />
farm in the summers. On Sundays<br />
though, the neighbor kids would<br />
come over and we’d get a baseball<br />
or kittenball game going. The Karbers<br />
lived just up the road and in<br />
the winter, we’d have fun sledding<br />
down hills together.” Winters<br />
would be cold in the house and<br />
Lowell recalls at bedtime, whoever<br />
got upstairs the fastest would get<br />
to sleep in the room with the stove<br />
pipe coming up through the floor as<br />
that would be the warmest.<br />
“What’s that saying about being<br />
uphill both ways to school in the<br />
old days Well, I really did do that.<br />
We walked downhill a half mile<br />
and then uphill a half mile to go to<br />
school and then the opposite coming<br />
home. I remember the Stanley girls<br />
helping me out after school sometimes<br />
when I’d have trouble.”<br />
Chores like milking would be<br />
done before and after school. After<br />
the eighth grade, Lowell was needed<br />
on the farm as his father lost his<br />
leg in a bad power take-off (PTO)<br />
accident. “He was pretty much<br />
done farming after that.”<br />

Short agenda, long meeting Monday at <strong>Clark</strong> City Hall<br />
It was a long meeting with a<br />
short agenda Monday at City Hall.<br />
The June meeting of the <strong>Clark</strong> City<br />
Council lasted over an hour and a<br />
half, dealing primarily with the<br />
public input and departmental updates<br />
portion of the meeting.<br />
The first public input topic was<br />
the ball field at Dickinson Park:<br />
<strong>Clark</strong> Rotary Club representative<br />
Tom LaBrie shared with the council<br />
what improvements are planned<br />
and how these improvements are<br />
progressing. The fence banners<br />
are up and help enhance the cosmetic<br />
value of the baseball/football<br />
field and also help finance improvements.<br />
The Rotarians are spending the<br />
summer organizing and getting<br />
‘stuff’ together, as most improvements,<br />
including the stadium seating<br />
project, will be done after the<br />
ITC where she lives.<br />
Becky Caulfield, Bradley, brought<br />
up a relevant thought, telling the<br />
commissioners that when there is<br />
a meeting, she can’t protest, because<br />
she finds out about the issues<br />
two weeks after the fact when the<br />
minutes are posted in the paper.<br />
“That’s the only way I can find out<br />
what’s going on,” she said.<br />
<strong>Clark</strong> <strong>County</strong> <strong>Courier</strong> editor Bill<br />
Krikac stated that one of his biggest<br />
regrets is a Tuesday deadline with<br />
a Tuesday commissioner meeting.<br />
“Deadlines don’t wait and some<br />
times decisions aren’t made until<br />
after I have to get a paper out,”<br />
Krikac said. He has for a long time<br />
hoped to hire someone to cover the<br />
Tuesday meetings. “That would really<br />
be nice, but it just hasn’t happened.”<br />
States Attorney Fjelland said<br />
that an agenda could be published<br />
and better yet emailed, to those<br />
who wanted.<br />
Susan Olson added that she really<br />
liked the idea of ITC live coverage.<br />
“I think that would be a step<br />
in the right direction.”<br />
Caulfield added that the concerned<br />
citizens group was there to<br />
try to get communications flowing.<br />
The commissioners said they<br />
would look into the ITC Community<br />
Access Channels route.<br />
baseball season is over. LaBrie<br />
stated that sidewalks to the restrooms<br />
are needed and that the<br />
side bleachers will probably come<br />
out.<br />
The one exception to after the<br />
season upgrades is that goose grass<br />
on the infield will be replaced and<br />
low spots will be worked on and the<br />
field will be fertilized, aerated and<br />
fungicide will be applied.<br />
Legion baseball coach Brock<br />
Greenfield was next and he summarized<br />
the financial state of affairs of<br />
his baseball team. Greenfield said<br />
that the <strong>Clark</strong> Legion Post agreed<br />
to give the team $500 for the season.<br />
Greenfield then explained that<br />
the team of 16 will play approximately<br />
40 games this summer with<br />
players from several communities<br />
and will be called <strong>Clark</strong>-Willow<br />
Senior Features of 2013<br />
From the Navy to building Fort Randall,<br />
Lowell Pederson has always liked to travel<br />
“I miss the good ole days ‘in a way’,” says Lowell Pederson of rural<br />
<strong>Clark</strong>. Born in <strong>Clark</strong> <strong>County</strong>, he’s always liked to travel, but always came<br />
back to farm. “If you get a chance to travel, go out and enjoy it as there<br />
is a lot to see in this country,” advises Pederson.<br />
If the weather cooperates...<br />
swimming pool is to be painted<br />
The Horace Bennett Swimming Pool is being sanded<br />
and painted this week, maybe! <strong>Clark</strong> water superintendent<br />
Darin Altfillisch reported that temperature<br />
regulations require that the temperature needs to<br />
be in the 70˚ area before painting can take place.<br />
It then takes time for the paint to dry and to ‘cure’<br />
the paint and then another seven days to fill the pool<br />
with water. It could be the middle of June before the<br />
swimming pool doors are opened.<br />
Lake. Fundraisers, private sponsorships<br />
and community organizations<br />
are all helping to make Legion<br />
baseball possible in 2013.<br />
The Legion baseball coach indicated<br />
that expenses will be met on<br />
a week by week basis and he asked<br />
the council for financial consideration.<br />
In the past the city had donated<br />
$1,500 for Legion baseball. After<br />
some discussion the city council approved<br />
$3,000 for the 2013 American<br />
Legion baseball program.<br />
Buster Altfillisch and the Willaby<br />
house were next on the public input<br />
portion of the meeting. Altfillisch,<br />
along with neighbor Bill Krikac<br />
were in attendance to ask the council<br />
what recourse they had to eliminate<br />
this eyesore that abuts both<br />
properties.<br />
This house, in the 900 block on<br />
North Idaho Street in <strong>Clark</strong> has remained<br />
unoccupied the past seven<br />
years. Altfillisch and Krikac have<br />
appeared in front of the council before<br />
talking about this issue.<br />
Mayor Larry Dreher said he was<br />
very aware of the situation, had<br />
toured the property with various<br />
council members and city employees<br />
and will see what options are<br />
available to alleviate this situation<br />
and attempt to get results, in an appropriate<br />
matter of time. And, the<br />
city health inspector, Joie Steffen<br />
will get involved with this property.<br />
Council president Louann Streff<br />
said, “Let’s start getting our ducks<br />
in a row (on this issue).” Mayor<br />
Dreher added, “It’s time,” and the<br />
council moved on to solve a drainage<br />
issue on Kansas Street, by the<br />
<strong>Clark</strong> Community Oil business<br />
complex.<br />
If the weather cooperates this week the swimming<br />
pool will be painted. If Mother Nature does not cooperate,<br />
then...<br />
Above, lifeguards left to right, Morgan Huber, Kalli<br />
Bell, Kandace Kolden and Mackenzie Huber are painting<br />
the inside area.<br />
Will the outside get painted in 2013 We will know<br />
by this time next week.<br />
Community Oil general manager<br />
Troy Grensberg was in attendance<br />
and he and <strong>Clark</strong> street superintendent<br />
Roger Collins were<br />
in agreement that this drainage<br />
problem could be solved by draining<br />
straight east with a drop-in box and<br />
a 15” culvert. Collins emphasized<br />
that 70’ of cement culvert would<br />
keep the water out. The council approved<br />
the $4,800 project.<br />
In other business:<br />
▲ The only mention of the proposed<br />
retention pond came in finance<br />
officer Jackie Luttrell’s update.<br />
She mentioned that this pond<br />
must be 1,000 feet from any residence.<br />
▲ No executive session was needed<br />
at Monday’s meeting.<br />

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

South Dakota History and Heritage<br />
South Dakota’s State Flag<br />
Blue skies and sunshine translate<br />
to a perfect summer day. Those<br />
elements are reflected in South Dakota’s<br />
flag.<br />
The story of the state’s banner<br />
began in 1909, when State Sen. Ernest<br />
May of Deadwood walked into<br />
the office of the State Department<br />
of History in Pierre. He discussed<br />
the need for a state flag with state<br />
historian Doane Robinson.<br />
“Turning to me, Robinson said,<br />
‘Miss Anding will make you a flag,’”<br />
Ida (Anding) McNeil said in an article<br />
in the Jan. 20, 1963, Rapid City<br />
Daily Journal.<br />
McNeil, a legislative reference<br />
librarian at the time, designed and<br />
made a flag that featured a blazing<br />
sun in the center of a field of blue,<br />
with the words “South Dakota”<br />
above the sun in the arc of the circle<br />
and “The Sunshine State” below the<br />
sun in the arc of the circle. McNeil<br />
said in the newspaper article that<br />
Robinson suggested a blazing sun<br />
emblem because of South Dakota’s<br />
many days of sunshine. McNeil<br />
showed the sample flag to Robinson,<br />
who remarked that the Great<br />
Seal of the State of South Dakota<br />
would look nice on the other side.<br />
McNeil agreed, and the state seal<br />
set against a field of dark blue was<br />
placed on the reverse side.<br />
A bill adopting the state flag was<br />
passed by the Legislature in 1909.<br />
“If I had known as much about<br />
flags as I do now, I certainly would<br />
have<br />
t<br />
left the reverse side plain,”<br />
McNeil said in the Rapid City Daily<br />
Journal article. “A two-sided flag is<br />
very difficult to make. In addition to<br />
the added work, it is Call difficult to prevent<br />
one side from showing through<br />
onto the other.”<br />
McNeil explained in the newspaper<br />
article that to make the state<br />
flag, she appliquéd the golden sun<br />
and embroidered the sun’s rays.<br />
She then took another piece of silk,<br />
painted details of the state seal on<br />
it and appliquéd this to the reverse<br />
side of the flag. In addition to being<br />
difficult to make, a two-sided flag<br />
was expensive to produce. The silk<br />
material from which McNeil made<br />
the flag cost $12.50 per yard and<br />
the materials for one flag cost about<br />
$75 in 1963.<br />
McNeil left her state job when<br />
she married in 1921. Although she<br />
made the first state flag, she is better<br />
remembered for being a pioneer<br />

in radio broadcasting. She became<br />
known as “Mrs. Pierre” while owner<br />
and operator of KGFX radio in<br />
Pierre.<br />
Another version of how South<br />
Dakota’s flag came into being states<br />
that May told Robinson that Deadwood<br />
pioneer Seth Bullock wanted<br />
a state flag. Robinson makes no<br />
mention of Bullock’s involvement in<br />
the state flag in Doane Robinson’s<br />
Encyclopedia of South Dakota. David<br />
A. Wolff of Spearfish, author of<br />
Seth Bullock: Black Hills Lawman,<br />
said that he could find no evidence<br />
in his research on Bullock to support<br />
the idea of Bullock being involved<br />
in the first state flag.<br />
During the 1963 legislative session,<br />
Rep. William Sahr of Pierre<br />
introduced a bill to modify the state<br />
flag. The new one-sided flag kept a<br />
sun with a serrated edge on a field<br />
of sky blue but placed the state seal<br />
inside the sun. Around the sun were<br />
the words “South Dakota” and “The<br />
Sunshine State.”<br />
The state’s banner was again<br />
revised in 1992, when the Legislature<br />
approved changing the wording<br />
on the flag to read “The Mount<br />
Rushmore State” instead of “The<br />
Sunshine State.” This reflected a<br />
change in the state nickname.<br />
The legislation for both the 1963<br />
and 1992 changes contained a provision<br />
that any previous flags made<br />
in conformance with state law were<br />
to remain official state flags. That<br />
means that it is legal to use any of<br />
the three official state flags.<br />
Not everyone likes our state flag.<br />
The North American Vexillological<br />
Association, an association of flag<br />
experts, ranked South Dakota’s flag<br />
as one of the five worst in North<br />
America in 2001.<br />
During the 2012 legislative session,<br />
a bill to adopt a flag designed<br />
by Spearfish artist Dick Termes was<br />
introduced. This design featured<br />
a sunburst, an American Indian<br />
medicine wheel and concentric blue<br />
circles. A House committee rejected<br />
the call to look at revising the flag.<br />

The Prairie Doc Perspective<br />
By Richard P. Holm, M.D.<br />
Subtle Symptoms and Not So Subtle Disease<br />
At first he had a subtle clue that something may be wrong, but he<br />
didn’t do anything about it. “Almost everyone has had heartburn one<br />
time or another,” he thought. But gradually it became worse. He found<br />
that he could control it with over-the-counter pills, so it must not be<br />
something so bad. His wife began bugging him for eating antacid tablets<br />
day and night, so he did it on the sly.<br />
Ah! But over time the reflux became less bothersome, and so he was<br />
reassured this was nothing dangerous. Then, one day, food started to<br />
stick on the way down and his wife said that she made him an appointment<br />
to the doctor. “You had better keep this one,” she said.<br />
I know of at least seven men diagnosed with esophageal cancer who<br />
had a similar story. Four have passed away, two are cured, and one is<br />
receiving chemotherapy and we are hoping for a cure.<br />
It is the feeling of a burp with acid in it, which starts in the stomach,<br />
comes back up the food pipe, and ends in the throat. The fancy name for<br />
such a disorder would be gastro (meaning stomach) esophageal (meaning<br />
food pipe) reflux (meaning backward movement), or GERD, also called<br />
acid reflux.<br />
Reflux can cause some people to have esophageal pain so similar to<br />
heart pain and so severe that it is sometimes wrongly diagnosed as a<br />
life-threatening heart attack. This is why its been called “heartburn.”<br />
On the other hand, some people have minimal to almost no discomfort<br />
from such reverse movement of stomach acid. Over the last ten to<br />
twenty years, we have learned that many who come to the doctor’s office<br />
without reflux symptoms, but with voice change, cough, or asthma, may<br />
actually have nighttime reflux, resulting in acid-burned vocal cords and<br />
lungs.<br />
Don’t wait for your spouse to make that appointment. Esophageal<br />
symptoms, subtle or not, should bring you to the doctor.<br />

Lowell Pederson is shown by<br />
one of the work horses on his father’s<br />
farm southeast of <strong>Clark</strong>, that<br />
he would also ride just for fun.<br />
Lowell was one of nine children<br />
born to Herdie and Christine (Aaker)<br />
Pederson.<br />
to see the farmsteads disappearing<br />
and all the shelterbelts too. The<br />
government used to pay to plant<br />
shelterbelts, now it’s almost the<br />
other way around. It pays more to<br />
remove them now.”<br />
When still a young man, Lowell<br />
would rent out his land and travel<br />
to work. “I always liked to travel<br />
and do different things. I worked in<br />
a paper mill, a foundry, did roofing<br />
work and various construction jobs.<br />
I also helped build the Fort Randall<br />
dam near Pickstown.”<br />
While visiting his sister Hazel<br />
and her husband in Long Island,<br />
N.Y., he ended up joining the Navy.<br />
“I thought I would get to see the<br />
world, but I mainly saw the inside<br />
of the ship Cadmus, a repair ship. I<br />
worked in the boiler room, keeping<br />
the steam going. I also had to cook,<br />
we all took our turns in the mess<br />
hall. I cooked for the chief a few<br />
times I recall. I served in the Navy<br />
for two years and did see Puerto<br />
Rico. All of my brothers were in the<br />
service too.”<br />
Meeting Marge<br />
When he returned to <strong>Clark</strong> Coun-<br />
Pederson<br />
(continued from page 1)<br />
ty is when he met his future wife,<br />
Marge Kretzschmar. “She was<br />
friends with my niece Evelyn. We<br />
met at a dance in <strong>Clark</strong>, I think.<br />
We hit it off right away. We both<br />
liked to dance.”<br />
The couple was married on July<br />
25, 1961 in Jackson, Minn. at the<br />
courthouse on their way home from<br />
a carnival in Minnesota.<br />
“We almost didn’t make it in time<br />
that day,” he laughs. After they<br />
were married, Lowell and Marge<br />
bought a farmstead from Henry<br />
Desnoyers and began to farm. “She<br />
was a really hard worker. She liked<br />
being out on the tractor and could<br />
do everything on the farm,” said<br />
Lowell of his wife Marge. “She had<br />
a big garden and was good with the<br />
animals. She didn’t care much for<br />
the sheep, though, especially when<br />
they would jump over the fences<br />
in the wintertime. They were the<br />
first to go when we sold out the livestock.<br />
Over the years I raised cattle,<br />
hogs, chickens and sheep along<br />
with farming oats, wheat and corn<br />
mostly.”<br />
The couple belonged to St. Paul<br />
Lutheran Church where Marge was<br />
an expert at making lefse for their<br />
annual lutefisk supper. She came<br />
to be known for her lefse making<br />
skills and would make extra and<br />
sell it around the holidays.<br />

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

Alexander is a counselor at Girls State<br />
Laura Alexander of <strong>Clark</strong> was named “Girls State’s Sweetheart” at the<br />
67th annual American Legion Auxiliary South Dakota Girls State 2013<br />
held last week in Vermillion on the University of South Dakota campus.<br />
Senior counselor Alexander believes Girls State helped her jump out<br />
of her comfort zone and become welcoming and outgoing and said “I<br />
just took advantage of Girls State and really made the most if it.”<br />
Alexander advises the Girls State delegates not to be afraid of being<br />
judged. “You will find a group compatible to you,” she said. “Don’t hold<br />
back - just be yourself.”<br />
She is the daughter of Dean and Mari Jo Alexander of <strong>Clark</strong>.<br />

What helps school lunch changes go down easier<br />
A little sweetness in how they are implemented<br />
By Heidi Marttila-Losure, Dakotafire Media<br />
Reporting by Doug Card, Britton Journal<br />
and Langford Bugle; Sarah Gackle, Kulm<br />
Messenger; Paul Kosel, Groton Daily Independent;<br />
and Garrick Moritz, Faulk <strong>County</strong><br />
Record<br />
Continued<br />
from last week<br />
A smoother transition<br />
While several schools had a lot<br />
f pushback to the new rules, in<br />
aulkton, S.D., and Kulm, N.D.,<br />
he requirements were implementd<br />
without much difficulty. The way<br />
hey implemented the changes may<br />
e part of the reason for this easier<br />
djustment.<br />
Giesler, who has been the cook at<br />
ulm for 22 years, said she believes<br />
he adjustment went more smoothy<br />
because she had slowly been<br />
aking changes before—offering<br />
ore fruits and vegetables at the<br />
help yourself” salad bar, for examle.<br />
There were initial grumblings<br />
rom students when changes were<br />
mplemented, but when they ate all<br />
he fruits and vegetables offered to<br />
hem at the salad bar, they felt full<br />
nd did not complain about being<br />
ungry.<br />
The process in Faulkton was inuenced<br />
by having student Kyle<br />
rtmeier involved. He had recently<br />
otten the school on board with the<br />
Alliance for a Healthier Generation,<br />
hich describes itself as “a catalyst<br />
or children’s health. We work with<br />
chools, companies, community oranizations,<br />
healthcare professionls<br />
and families to transform the<br />
onditions and systems that lead to<br />
ealthier kids.”<br />
That process had the school conidering<br />
health effects in its deciion-making<br />
before the new school<br />
unch rules had to be implemented.<br />
Ortmeier serves on the national<br />
oard for the Alliance, which was<br />
significant help for the school<br />
s they considered changes, said<br />
r. Joel Price, superintendent for<br />
aulkton Area Schools. “With someody<br />
like that on a national board,<br />
t granted the district information<br />
esources we wouldn’t otherwise<br />
ave had,” Price said.<br />
Ortmeier, for example, called<br />
pon Kari Senger, the director of<br />
oordinated School Health at the<br />
.D. Department of Education, to<br />
elp the school set up the reporting<br />
or the new lunch plans online.<br />
“I think a lot of the difference (beween<br />
Faulkton and other schools<br />
n implementing the rules) was that<br />
he school was very open and above<br />
oard with everybody about what<br />
as going on from the beginning,”<br />
rtmeier said. “Dr. Price and (FHS)<br />
Principal Mr. (Craig) Cassens spoke<br />
to all of the students about the<br />
changes, made it clear what was going<br />
on and kept everybody informed<br />
along the way. People did bicker or<br />
complain about it for two weeks,<br />
but then the complaints died out.”<br />
Marion Nestle, a nutritionist<br />
who has written extensively about<br />
the school lunch changes, advocated<br />
this approach in an e-mail exchange<br />
with Dakotafire.<br />
“(Making dietary changes more<br />
palatable) requires committed<br />
communication strategies,” Nestle<br />
wrote. “Schools that have succeeded<br />
in making huge changes to school<br />
meals without causing a revolt usually<br />
have food directors who talk to<br />
parents and kids about what the<br />
changes are for and ask for a grace<br />
period. If the food tastes good, the<br />
kids will eat it, no question.”<br />
Good-tasting food may be a factor<br />
in Kulm, as Giesler cooks almost<br />
all the meals from scratch. Nestle<br />
noted that it’s significantly easier to<br />
provide tasty, filling meals if schools<br />
are cooking from scratch than if<br />
they are relying on processed foods,<br />
which often pack lots of calories but<br />
few nutrients into a small package.<br />
The students at Groton, for example,<br />
started their lunch boycott<br />
after they objected to how little<br />
was on their plates when they were<br />
served popcorn chicken and popcorn<br />
shrimp—both calorie-dense foods<br />
that do little to fill up stomachs.<br />
Ortmeier said having a salad<br />
bar, such as the one in Kulm, can<br />
help students fill in the cracks if the<br />
main meal left them hungry. This<br />
can also help ensure that students<br />
who may not get enough nutrition<br />
at home can get the extra calories<br />
and, perhaps more importantly, the<br />
nutrients they need at school.<br />
Having a “champion” for healthy<br />
living in the student population<br />
likely made a big difference in the<br />
way the changes were viewed in<br />
Faulkton. For example, when students<br />
complained after the school<br />
instituted a policy of no high-sugar<br />
or high-caffeine soda or sugary<br />
snacks during school hours, Ortmeier<br />
said his friends’ complaints<br />
were based on addiction symptoms.<br />
“Someone said something to me<br />
about it, and I said, ‘Dude, the reason<br />
you feel rotten is that you’re sugar<br />
crashing and you’re having caffeine<br />
withdrawals,’” Ortmeier said.<br />
“Long-term, my friends, classmates<br />
and fellow students don’t need that.<br />
These changes are in no way trying<br />
to hurt anybody, but to make the<br />
school healthier. Healthier students<br />
mean better athletic and academic<br />
performance. It’s been scientifically<br />
proven that healthier students do<br />
better in school.”<br />
A recent study published in<br />
JAMA Pediatrics suggests that<br />
school lunch requirements similar<br />
to the ones that went into place this<br />
year help keep kids at a healthier<br />

weight. In schools with such requirements,<br />
students eating free<br />
or reduced-price meals were 12.3<br />
percent less likely to be obese than<br />
those who didn’t eat those lunches.<br />
The study focused on low-income<br />
students because they are more<br />
likely to be obese (which is likely<br />
because less nutritious food tends to<br />
be cheaper than healthier options).<br />
Nestle wrote an editorial to go<br />
with that study.<br />
“If you take junk food and sodas<br />
out of schools, kids don’t eat as<br />
much of them and are healthier. If<br />
you have strict nutrition standards<br />
for school food, the food is healthier<br />
and so are the kids,” Nestle wrote.<br />
“This may all seem self-evident, but<br />
now we have research to prove it.”<br />
And with these new standards,<br />
students all across the nation are<br />
going to benefit. Whether they like<br />
it or not.<br />
