Clark School Board 

needs new member 

As one reads the Clark School 

Board Agenda on page five of this 

edition, one would note the resignation 

of board president Michelle 

Mehlberg. 

When Mehlberg was contacted by 

the Courier office, she stated, “Due 

to circumstances beyond my control 

I will not have the time to commit 

to being an effective and informed 

school board member for the next 

several months. I feel that it is in 

the best interest of the students and 

voters of the district for me to step 

aside and have someone appointed 

who will have the time to devote to 

the position. I appreciated the opportunity 

to serve the district.” 

At the June meeting of the Clark 

School Board this coming Monday, 

the board will begin the process of 

finding Mehlberg’s replacement.

Clark County commissioners talk 

possible broadcast of meetings 

Political correctness and openness 

of government are two ‘buzz 

words’ or trends of the new millennium. 

At Tuesday’s meeting of the Clark 

County Board of Commissioners a 

group of concerned citizens from the 

northern parts of the county were 

in attendance to talk about just this 

matter...Their right to know! 

“It’s hard to argue against openness,” 

commented Clark County 

States Attorney Chad Fjelland as 

the subject was how can everyone 

in the county know what’s going on 

at the commissioners meeting. 

Greg Anderson was the spokesperson 

for the group and he is a 

proponent of using ITC Community 

access Channels as the route to 

broadcast commissioner meetings 

to all ITC subscribers. 

“I think it would be good for our 

county, as it would be a live feed of 

commissioner’s meetings,” said Anderson. 

Clark County Board of Commissioners 

chairman Francis Hass 

then asked the commissioners their 

thoughts on this matter. 

Commissioner Richard Reints, 

when he was asked, commented 

“My only problem is that not everyone 

in the county has the ability 

to get ITC, I don’t.” Commissioner 

Violet Wicks said that she can’t get 

“I’ve had a real good life,” says 

Lowell Pederson with a grin. “I’ve 

always liked to travel. I’d be the 

one who would take off and do odd 

jobs in the winter, while my brother 

would stay home on the farm.” 

Lowell was born on May 9, 1929 

on a farm south and east of Clark. 

“My older brother said he and dad 

had gone out working and when 

they came back, I was lying on the 

oven door,” laughs Pederson. He 

www.clarkcountypublishing.com 

was the second to the youngest child 

in a family of nine children. Gladys, 

Thelma, Hazel, Leonard, Myrtle, 

Oliver ‘Wayne’, Janice, Lowell 

and Walter were born to Hendie 

(H.O.) and Christine (Aaker) Pederson. 

“Back then everyone had 

bigger families. There was always 

a lot to do on the farm and everyone 

was needed to help out,” stated Pederson. 

His father was a farmer by trade, 

but in earlier years ran a hardware 

store in Flandreau. According to 

Lowell, his father was a hard working 

farmer and his mother was ‘the 

best person you’d ever meet’. He 

doesn’t remember his grandparents, 

but knows the names are Tollef and 

Ingeborg (Blinsmon) Pederson on 

his father’s side and both sets of 

grandparents were Norwegian. 

Growing up near Clark 

“Growing up we always had so 

doggone much work to do, there 

wasn’t time for playing on the 

farm in the summers. On Sundays 

though, the neighbor kids would 

come over and we’d get a baseball 

or kittenball game going. The Karbers 

lived just up the road and in 

the winter, we’d have fun sledding 

down hills together.” Winters 

would be cold in the house and 

Lowell recalls at bedtime, whoever 

got upstairs the fastest would get 

to sleep in the room with the stove 

pipe coming up through the floor as 

that would be the warmest. 

“What’s that saying about being 

uphill both ways to school in the 

old days Well, I really did do that. 

We walked downhill a half mile 

and then uphill a half mile to go to 

school and then the opposite coming 

home. I remember the Stanley girls 

helping me out after school sometimes 

when I’d have trouble.” 

Chores like milking would be 

done before and after school. After 

the eighth grade, Lowell was needed 

on the farm as his father lost his 

leg in a bad power take-off (PTO) 

accident. “He was pretty much 

done farming after that.”

Short agenda, long meeting Monday at Clark City Hall 

It was a long meeting with a 

short agenda Monday at City Hall. 

The June meeting of the Clark City 

Council lasted over an hour and a 

half, dealing primarily with the 

public input and departmental updates 

portion of the meeting. 

The first public input topic was 

the ball field at Dickinson Park: 

Clark Rotary Club representative 

Tom LaBrie shared with the council 

what improvements are planned 

and how these improvements are 

progressing. The fence banners 

are up and help enhance the cosmetic 

value of the baseball/football 

field and also help finance improvements. 

The Rotarians are spending the 

summer organizing and getting 

‘stuff’ together, as most improvements, 

including the stadium seating 

project, will be done after the 

ITC where she lives. 

Becky Caulfield, Bradley, brought 

up a relevant thought, telling the 

commissioners that when there is 

a meeting, she can’t protest, because 

she finds out about the issues 

two weeks after the fact when the 

minutes are posted in the paper. 

“That’s the only way I can find out 

what’s going on,” she said. 

Clark County Courier editor Bill 

Krikac stated that one of his biggest 

regrets is a Tuesday deadline with 

a Tuesday commissioner meeting. 

“Deadlines don’t wait and some 

times decisions aren’t made until 

after I have to get a paper out,” 

Krikac said. He has for a long time 

hoped to hire someone to cover the 

Tuesday meetings. “That would really 

be nice, but it just hasn’t happened.” 

States Attorney Fjelland said 

that an agenda could be published 

and better yet emailed, to those 

who wanted. 

Susan Olson added that she really 

liked the idea of ITC live coverage. 

“I think that would be a step 

in the right direction.” 

Caulfield added that the concerned 

citizens group was there to 

try to get communications flowing. 

The commissioners said they 

would look into the ITC Community 

Access Channels route. 

baseball season is over. LaBrie 

stated that sidewalks to the restrooms 

are needed and that the 

side bleachers will probably come 

out. 

The one exception to after the 

season upgrades is that goose grass 

on the infield will be replaced and 

low spots will be worked on and the 

field will be fertilized, aerated and 

fungicide will be applied. 

Legion baseball coach Brock 

Greenfield was next and he summarized 

the financial state of affairs of 

his baseball team. Greenfield said 

that the Clark Legion Post agreed 

to give the team $500 for the season. 

Greenfield then explained that 

the team of 16 will play approximately 

40 games this summer with 

players from several communities 

and will be called Clark-Willow 

Senior Features of 2013 

From the Navy to building Fort Randall, 

Lowell Pederson has always liked to travel 

“I miss the good ole days ‘in a way’,” says Lowell Pederson of rural 

Clark. Born in Clark County, he’s always liked to travel, but always came 

back to farm. “If you get a chance to travel, go out and enjoy it as there 

is a lot to see in this country,” advises Pederson. 

If the weather cooperates... 

swimming pool is to be painted 

The Horace Bennett Swimming Pool is being sanded 

and painted this week, maybe! Clark water superintendent 

Darin Altfillisch reported that temperature 

regulations require that the temperature needs to 

be in the 70˚ area before painting can take place. 

It then takes time for the paint to dry and to ‘cure’ 

the paint and then another seven days to fill the pool 

with water. It could be the middle of June before the 

swimming pool doors are opened. 

Lake. Fundraisers, private sponsorships 

and community organizations 

are all helping to make Legion 

baseball possible in 2013. 

The Legion baseball coach indicated 

that expenses will be met on 

a week by week basis and he asked 

the council for financial consideration. 

In the past the city had donated 

$1,500 for Legion baseball. After 

some discussion the city council approved 

$3,000 for the 2013 American 

Legion baseball program. 

Buster Altfillisch and the Willaby 

house were next on the public input 

portion of the meeting. Altfillisch, 

along with neighbor Bill Krikac 

were in attendance to ask the council 

what recourse they had to eliminate 

this eyesore that abuts both 

properties. 

This house, in the 900 block on 

North Idaho Street in Clark has remained 

unoccupied the past seven 

years. Altfillisch and Krikac have 

appeared in front of the council before 

talking about this issue. 

Mayor Larry Dreher said he was 

very aware of the situation, had 

toured the property with various 

council members and city employees 

and will see what options are 

available to alleviate this situation 

and attempt to get results, in an appropriate 

matter of time. And, the 

city health inspector, Joie Steffen 

will get involved with this property. 

Council president Louann Streff 

said, “Let’s start getting our ducks 

in a row (on this issue).” Mayor 

Dreher added, “It’s time,” and the 

council moved on to solve a drainage 

issue on Kansas Street, by the 

Clark Community Oil business 

complex. 

If the weather cooperates this week the swimming 

pool will be painted. If Mother Nature does not cooperate, 

then... 

Above, lifeguards left to right, Morgan Huber, Kalli 

Bell, Kandace Kolden and Mackenzie Huber are painting 

the inside area. 

Will the outside get painted in 2013 We will know 

by this time next week. 

Community Oil general manager 

Troy Grensberg was in attendance 

and he and Clark street superintendent 

Roger Collins were 

in agreement that this drainage 

problem could be solved by draining 

straight east with a drop-in box and 

a 15” culvert. Collins emphasized 

that 70’ of cement culvert would 

keep the water out. The council approved 

the $4,800 project. 

In other business: 

▲ The only mention of the proposed 

retention pond came in finance 

officer Jackie Luttrell’s update. 

She mentioned that this pond 

must be 1,000 feet from any residence. 

▲ No executive session was needed 

at Monday’s meeting.

house. I think it must have been 

a tornado or at least very strong 

winds that lifted the house off its 

foundation. I had run to the barn 

and looked over and saw my mother, 

Wally and Kathleen all go flying 

by. It’s surprising no one got hurt. 

Then we all starting picking up the 

baby chicks. 

Farming 

Breaking horses was another 

chore that Lowell and his brother 

Wally did on their farm. Once 

when the cinch on the saddle broke, 

Lowell went flying with the saddle 

underneath him. 

“When we were young, running 

the cultivator, Wally would drive 

the horses and dad made a seat for 

me to sit on and I’d regulate the 

cultivator between the rows. As 

I grew, I learned how to drive the 

horse team.” 

Lowell bought land when he was 

a young farmer and is glad that he 

did. “I don’t see how a young farmer 

can make it nowdays with land 

as high as it is now. I think it’s sad

South Dakota History and Heritage 

South Dakota’s State Flag 

Blue skies and sunshine translate 

to a perfect summer day. Those 

elements are reflected in South Dakota’s 

flag. 

The story of the state’s banner 

began in 1909, when State Sen. Ernest 

May of Deadwood walked into 

the office of the State Department 

of History in Pierre. He discussed 

the need for a state flag with state 

historian Doane Robinson. 

“Turning to me, Robinson said, 

‘Miss Anding will make you a flag,’” 

Ida (Anding) McNeil said in an article 

in the Jan. 20, 1963, Rapid City 

Daily Journal. 

McNeil, a legislative reference 

librarian at the time, designed and 

made a flag that featured a blazing 

sun in the center of a field of blue, 

with the words “South Dakota” 

above the sun in the arc of the circle 

and “The Sunshine State” below the 

sun in the arc of the circle. McNeil 

said in the newspaper article that 

Robinson suggested a blazing sun 

emblem because of South Dakota’s 

many days of sunshine. McNeil 

showed the sample flag to Robinson, 

who remarked that the Great 

Seal of the State of South Dakota 

would look nice on the other side. 

McNeil agreed, and the state seal 

set against a field of dark blue was 

placed on the reverse side. 

A bill adopting the state flag was 

passed by the Legislature in 1909. 

“If I had known as much about 

flags as I do now, I certainly would 

have 

t 

left the reverse side plain,” 

McNeil said in the Rapid City Daily 

Journal article. “A two-sided flag is 

very difficult to make. In addition to 

the added work, it is Call difficult to prevent 

one side from showing through 

onto the other.” 

McNeil explained in the newspaper 

article that to make the state 

flag, she appliquéd the golden sun 

and embroidered the sun’s rays. 

She then took another piece of silk, 

painted details of the state seal on 

it and appliquéd this to the reverse 

side of the flag. In addition to being 

difficult to make, a two-sided flag 

was expensive to produce. The silk 

material from which McNeil made 

the flag cost $12.50 per yard and 

the materials for one flag cost about 

$75 in 1963. 

McNeil left her state job when 

she married in 1921. Although she 

made the first state flag, she is better 

remembered for being a pioneer

in radio broadcasting. She became 

known as “Mrs. Pierre” while owner 

and operator of KGFX radio in 

Pierre. 

Another version of how South 

Dakota’s flag came into being states 

that May told Robinson that Deadwood 

pioneer Seth Bullock wanted 

a state flag. Robinson makes no 

mention of Bullock’s involvement in 

the state flag in Doane Robinson’s 

Encyclopedia of South Dakota. David 

A. Wolff of Spearfish, author of 

Seth Bullock: Black Hills Lawman, 

said that he could find no evidence 

in his research on Bullock to support 

the idea of Bullock being involved 

in the first state flag. 

During the 1963 legislative session, 

Rep. William Sahr of Pierre 

introduced a bill to modify the state 

flag. The new one-sided flag kept a 

sun with a serrated edge on a field 

of sky blue but placed the state seal 

inside the sun. Around the sun were 

the words “South Dakota” and “The 

Sunshine State.” 

The state’s banner was again 

revised in 1992, when the Legislature 

approved changing the wording 

on the flag to read “The Mount 

Rushmore State” instead of “The 

Sunshine State.” This reflected a 

change in the state nickname. 

The legislation for both the 1963 

and 1992 changes contained a provision 

that any previous flags made 

in conformance with state law were 

to remain official state flags. That 

means that it is legal to use any of 

the three official state flags. 

Not everyone likes our state flag. 

The North American Vexillological 

Association, an association of flag 

experts, ranked South Dakota’s flag 

as one of the five worst in North 

America in 2001. 

During the 2012 legislative session, 

a bill to adopt a flag designed 

by Spearfish artist Dick Termes was 

introduced. This design featured 

a sunburst, an American Indian 

medicine wheel and concentric blue 

circles. A House committee rejected 

the call to look at revising the flag.

The Prairie Doc Perspective 

By Richard P. Holm, M.D. 

Subtle Symptoms and Not So Subtle Disease 

At first he had a subtle clue that something may be wrong, but he 

didn’t do anything about it. “Almost everyone has had heartburn one 

time or another,” he thought. But gradually it became worse. He found 

that he could control it with over-the-counter pills, so it must not be 

something so bad. His wife began bugging him for eating antacid tablets 

day and night, so he did it on the sly. 

Ah! But over time the reflux became less bothersome, and so he was 

reassured this was nothing dangerous. Then, one day, food started to 

stick on the way down and his wife said that she made him an appointment 

to the doctor. “You had better keep this one,” she said. 

I know of at least seven men diagnosed with esophageal cancer who 

had a similar story. Four have passed away, two are cured, and one is 

receiving chemotherapy and we are hoping for a cure. 

It is the feeling of a burp with acid in it, which starts in the stomach, 

comes back up the food pipe, and ends in the throat. The fancy name for 

such a disorder would be gastro (meaning stomach) esophageal (meaning 

food pipe) reflux (meaning backward movement), or GERD, also called 

acid reflux. 

Reflux can cause some people to have esophageal pain so similar to 

heart pain and so severe that it is sometimes wrongly diagnosed as a 

life-threatening heart attack. This is why its been called “heartburn.” 

On the other hand, some people have minimal to almost no discomfort 

from such reverse movement of stomach acid. Over the last ten to 

twenty years, we have learned that many who come to the doctor’s office 

without reflux symptoms, but with voice change, cough, or asthma, may 

actually have nighttime reflux, resulting in acid-burned vocal cords and 

lungs. 

Don’t wait for your spouse to make that appointment. Esophageal 

symptoms, subtle or not, should bring you to the doctor.

Lowell Pederson is shown by 

one of the work horses on his father’s 

farm southeast of Clark, that 

he would also ride just for fun. 

Lowell was one of nine children 

born to Herdie and Christine (Aaker) 

Pederson. 

to see the farmsteads disappearing 

and all the shelterbelts too. The 

government used to pay to plant 

shelterbelts, now it’s almost the 

other way around. It pays more to 

remove them now.” 

When still a young man, Lowell 

would rent out his land and travel 

to work. “I always liked to travel 

and do different things. I worked in 

a paper mill, a foundry, did roofing 

work and various construction jobs. 

I also helped build the Fort Randall 

dam near Pickstown.” 

While visiting his sister Hazel 

and her husband in Long Island, 

N.Y., he ended up joining the Navy. 

“I thought I would get to see the 

world, but I mainly saw the inside 

of the ship Cadmus, a repair ship. I 

worked in the boiler room, keeping 

the steam going. I also had to cook, 

we all took our turns in the mess 

hall. I cooked for the chief a few 

times I recall. I served in the Navy 

for two years and did see Puerto 

Rico. All of my brothers were in the 

service too.” 

Meeting Marge 

When he returned to Clark Coun- 

Pederson 

(continued from page 1) 

ty is when he met his future wife, 

Marge Kretzschmar. “She was 

friends with my niece Evelyn. We 

met at a dance in Clark, I think. 

We hit it off right away. We both 

liked to dance.” 

The couple was married on July 

25, 1961 in Jackson, Minn. at the 

courthouse on their way home from 

a carnival in Minnesota. 

“We almost didn’t make it in time 

that day,” he laughs. After they 

were married, Lowell and Marge 

bought a farmstead from Henry 

Desnoyers and began to farm. “She 

was a really hard worker. She liked 

being out on the tractor and could 

do everything on the farm,” said 

Lowell of his wife Marge. “She had 

a big garden and was good with the 

animals. She didn’t care much for 

the sheep, though, especially when 

they would jump over the fences 

in the wintertime. They were the 

first to go when we sold out the livestock. 

Over the years I raised cattle, 

hogs, chickens and sheep along 

with farming oats, wheat and corn 

mostly.” 

The couple belonged to St. Paul 

Lutheran Church where Marge was 

an expert at making lefse for their 

annual lutefisk supper. She came 

to be known for her lefse making 

skills and would make extra and 

sell it around the holidays.

“I was really lucky I think. We 

got along really good together and 

when we could get away, we liked to 

travel. I’ve been to all of the lower 

48 states except Rhode Island and 

Connecticut,” said Pederson. 

When asked about his hobbies, 

Pederson likes to read, play cards 

and when younger did a lot of hunting 

and also bowled. 

He recalls big rabbit hunts when 

many would encircle a quarter of 

land and walk towards each other 

corralling the rabbits together. 

“You’d learn not to shoot too soon, or 

you’d end up having to carry them. 

We’d sell them to Clinton Clark for 

his fox farms and then have a big 

feed to celebrate afterwards.” 

Lowell lost his wife Marge in 

2005. “She got in the habit of smoking 

and lung cancer got her. We had 

a great life together. 

“In some ways I miss the good 

ole days. Kids nowdays spend too 

much time in front of the television. 

There’s a lot of programs that 

shouldn’t be on there I think.” 

When asked what the best invention 

is he’s seen in his lifetime, his 

reply was, “Probably the lawn mower.” 

He advises the next generation, 

“Travel if you get a chance. There’s 

a lot to be seen in this country - go 

out and enjoy it.”

What helps school lunch changes go down easier 

A little sweetness in how they are implemented 

By Heidi Marttila-Losure, Dakotafire Media 

Reporting by Doug Card, Britton Journal 

and Langford Bugle; Sarah Gackle, Kulm 

Messenger; Paul Kosel, Groton Daily Independent; 

and Garrick Moritz, Faulk County 

Record 

Continued 

from last week 

A smoother transition 

While several schools had a lot 

f pushback to the new rules, in 

aulkton, S.D., and Kulm, N.D., 

he requirements were implementd 

without much difficulty. The way 

hey implemented the changes may 

e part of the reason for this easier 

djustment. 

Giesler, who has been the cook at 

ulm for 22 years, said she believes 

he adjustment went more smoothy 

because she had slowly been 

aking changes before—offering 

ore fruits and vegetables at the 

help yourself” salad bar, for examle. 

There were initial grumblings 

rom students when changes were 

mplemented, but when they ate all 

he fruits and vegetables offered to 

hem at the salad bar, they felt full 

nd did not complain about being 

ungry. 

The process in Faulkton was inuenced 

by having student Kyle 

rtmeier involved. He had recently 

otten the school on board with the 

Alliance for a Healthier Generation, 

hich describes itself as “a catalyst 

or children’s health. We work with 

chools, companies, community oranizations, 

healthcare professionls 

and families to transform the 

onditions and systems that lead to 

ealthier kids.” 

That process had the school conidering 

health effects in its deciion-making 

before the new school 

unch rules had to be implemented. 

Ortmeier serves on the national 

oard for the Alliance, which was 

significant help for the school 

s they considered changes, said 

r. Joel Price, superintendent for 

aulkton Area Schools. “With someody 

like that on a national board, 

t granted the district information 

esources we wouldn’t otherwise 

ave had,” Price said. 

Ortmeier, for example, called 

pon Kari Senger, the director of 

oordinated School Health at the 

.D. Department of Education, to 

elp the school set up the reporting 

or the new lunch plans online. 

“I think a lot of the difference (beween 

Faulkton and other schools 

n implementing the rules) was that 

he school was very open and above 

oard with everybody about what 

as going on from the beginning,” 

rtmeier said. “Dr. Price and (FHS) 

Principal Mr. (Craig) Cassens spoke 

to all of the students about the 

changes, made it clear what was going 

on and kept everybody informed 

along the way. People did bicker or 

complain about it for two weeks, 

but then the complaints died out.” 

Marion Nestle, a nutritionist 

who has written extensively about 

the school lunch changes, advocated 

this approach in an e-mail exchange 

with Dakotafire. 

“(Making dietary changes more 

palatable) requires committed 

communication strategies,” Nestle 

wrote. “Schools that have succeeded 

in making huge changes to school 

meals without causing a revolt usually 

have food directors who talk to 

parents and kids about what the 

changes are for and ask for a grace 

period. If the food tastes good, the 

kids will eat it, no question.” 

Good-tasting food may be a factor 

in Kulm, as Giesler cooks almost 

all the meals from scratch. Nestle 

noted that it’s significantly easier to 

provide tasty, filling meals if schools 

are cooking from scratch than if 

they are relying on processed foods, 

which often pack lots of calories but 

few nutrients into a small package. 

The students at Groton, for example, 

started their lunch boycott 

after they objected to how little 

was on their plates when they were 

served popcorn chicken and popcorn 

shrimp—both calorie-dense foods 

that do little to fill up stomachs. 

Ortmeier said having a salad 

bar, such as the one in Kulm, can 

help students fill in the cracks if the 

main meal left them hungry. This 

can also help ensure that students 

who may not get enough nutrition 

at home can get the extra calories 

and, perhaps more importantly, the 

nutrients they need at school. 

Having a “champion” for healthy 

living in the student population 

likely made a big difference in the 

way the changes were viewed in 

Faulkton. For example, when students 

complained after the school 

instituted a policy of no high-sugar 

or high-caffeine soda or sugary 

snacks during school hours, Ortmeier 

said his friends’ complaints 

were based on addiction symptoms. 

“Someone said something to me 

about it, and I said, ‘Dude, the reason 

you feel rotten is that you’re sugar 

crashing and you’re having caffeine 

withdrawals,’” Ortmeier said. 

“Long-term, my friends, classmates 

and fellow students don’t need that. 

These changes are in no way trying 

to hurt anybody, but to make the 

school healthier. Healthier students 

mean better athletic and academic 

performance. It’s been scientifically 

proven that healthier students do 

better in school.” 

A recent study published in 

JAMA Pediatrics suggests that 

school lunch requirements similar 

to the ones that went into place this 

year help keep kids at a healthier

weight. In schools with such requirements, 

students eating free 

or reduced-price meals were 12.3 

percent less likely to be obese than 

those who didn’t eat those lunches. 

The study focused on low-income 

students because they are more 

likely to be obese (which is likely 

because less nutritious food tends to 

be cheaper than healthier options). 

Nestle wrote an editorial to go 

with that study. 

“If you take junk food and sodas 

out of schools, kids don’t eat as 

much of them and are healthier. If 

you have strict nutrition standards 

for school food, the food is healthier 

and so are the kids,” Nestle wrote. 

“This may all seem self-evident, but 

now we have research to prove it.” 

And with these new standards, 

students all across the nation are 

going to benefit. Whether they like 

it or not.
