Harvest for Hunger, an annual event sponsored by CHS, is a food, funds and grain drive that has raised over $6 million and 4.5 million pounds of food for local and regional food shelves since its start in 2011. Every March, CHS employees from across the country work with farmers, ranchers, businesses and community organizations to promote the cause. When the idea was introduced to the children at the daycare facility, Green says they were all very surprised to learn that other kids, some even in their own hometown, are not as fortunate to be consistently provided with food on the table and in their cupboards like they are. “It was a bit shocking to them,” Green said. “We talked about the food they have in their homes, and how maybe just one can of food could help someone else eat. We also talked about how just $1 could help.” The next morning, Green received $5 in pocket change on her desk from several children eager to make a difference in other families’ lives. The childcare center created a classroom competition to see which room could collect the most donations of money and canned foods with the incentive of earning a pizza party once the drive ended. The donations quickly piled up. “I had wrinkled up dollar bills on my desk every morning. The children were so proud of themselves!” added Green. “That was the best part.” When the news of the COVID-19 coronavirus hit, that’s really when the donations started pouring in. “We got huge cans of formula, baby food and meals rather than an odd can of something,” Green said. “On our last day we ended up with $50, mostly from piggy banks, and lots of boxes of food.” When all of the donations were lined up for the children to see just how much was raised, they were floored. “I was so proud of them, but most importantly, they were proud of themselves!” she added. And, when asked by the children which classroom won the competition, they were delighted to find out that they all had won - and all were rewarded with a pizza party. Great job to the staff, the children and the families of Canton Area Preschool and Childcare for their efforts in raising so many donations for such an important cause. With Easter approaching on April 12 and social distancing being enforced in many communities across the globe, these “stained glass” windows are popping up throughout communities everywhere as a way to connect families, friends and neighbors celebrating the Christian holiday who are unable to venture far from their own homes this year.

1920The storm of last Sunday was
one of the worst here of the winter, though as usual, we got only the outer fringe of a storm. Farther it the south of us the storm developed cyclonic proportions and wrought
great havoc amoung property and human life, the toll of human life reaching 165 victims, while the direct destruction of property ran into appalling millions to be still further increased by floods which followed in its wake. Locally the storm began in the early hours of Sunday morning with rain and wind, the rain turning to snow at about eight o’clock in the morning and soon developed blizzard characteristics. The snow was particularly wet and heavy and clung to every branch and post and pole and telephone and electric light cross arm and cable. The wind added its quota to the strain on the over weighted wires and cables, and in the city many of the telephone and electric light poles were blown down carrying a larger number of the wires into a mess of wreckage, and crippling, largely the city service.
Rose StenslandJuly 20, 1930 -
March 23, 2020Rose Marie “Rosie” Stensland, age
89, of Canton, went to her heavenly home on Monday, March 23, 2020. Private family services will be held. A public Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be directed to Shalom Lutheran Church or Forest Hill Cemetery.

The couple farmed and raised their four children on a farm northwest of Canton. Melvin passed away on August 17, 2016.
Rosie was a kind, sweet woman
with a fun-loving nature. She was not afraid of hard work and enjoyed mowing the lawn, feeding bottle calves, and recently enjoyed watching the squirrels at the feeder. She was a 4-H leader and a great cook and baker who will be remembered for her lefse, potato dumplings, bread, and desserts. As a child she had a sheep named Sally and rode a horse called Nancy to country school- Nancy often got loose and went back home. Rosie was a Sunday School teacher at Beaver Creek Lutheran Church and assisted with the ice cream socials, Easter sunrise breakfasts, Ladies aide, and much more. After Beaver Creek closed in 1978, Melvin and Rosie joined Shalom Lutheran. There she was also active with Shalom breakfasts, Circle, Bible study and quilting group.

PIERRE, S.D. – The Her Vote. Her Voice. campaign of the South Dakota Historical Society Foundation is busy with a funding initiative that brings awareness to historical and modern-day women’s history. One of the campaign activities is the collection and preservation of suffrage artifacts.
The foundation, the nonprofit fundraising partner of the South Dakota State Historical Society at the Cultural Heritage Center in Pierre, is seeking archival records and artifacts documenting the women’s suffrage movement in South Dakota. The women’s suffrage movement was a decades-long fight to win the right to vote for women in the United States. The fight for suffrage is represented in numerous ways through different types of historical materials.
Examples of suffrage materials include, but are not limited to, banners, signs/posters, sashes, ribbons, recordings of suffrage songs, books/booklets/pamphlets, letters (correspondence), photographs, photo albums, scrapbooks, or other documents.
Individuals or groups wanting to donate archival or museum materials relating to women’s suffrage to the State Historical Society should contact archives and museum representatives Matthew T. Reitzel (archives) at 605-773-3615 or [email protected] or Katy Schmidt (museum) at 605-773-6013 or [email protected]. Reitzel and Schmidt will coordinate all donations of materials to the State Historical Society.
“The women’s suffrage movement played a pivotal role in the history of our nation and state,” said Jay Vogt, director of the State Historical Society. “Being able to add records and objects from this important period in history would be a welcome addition to the archives and museum collections at the Cultural Heritage Center in Pierre.
“Archival collections and objects can help explain historic events that
define women’s suffrage, which is why the delegation of the Her Vote. Her Voice. campaign felt it was imperative that these efforts are
financially supported by the men and women of South Dakota,” Vogt concluded.
In addition to donations of women’s suffrage artifacts, the society is collecting contributions that will be used to properly process, preserve, and store the items collected. For more information on how to donate, go to https://www.hervotehervoice.org or call 605-773-6003.

-30-Her Vote. Her Voice. is a grassroots
movement of the South Dakota Historical Society Foundation and the office of Governor Kristi Noem. Governor Noem appointed a group of 16 delegates to organize a communications center for the collection and dissemination of information about South Dakota events, plans, and resources for the centennial celebration of the passage of the 19th Amendment granting women the right to vote. This diverse
group of nonpartisan professionals brings relevance to the historical topic while connecting people to the present issue: history is happening
and still being made today. Funds raised by the Her Vote. Her Voice. campaign will support women’s history preservation through projects defined by the South Dakota State Historical Society and Historical Society Foundation. For more information on how you can help, go to https://www.hervotehervoice.org

The Gifted Blessings
Southtown CommentaryBy Pastor Jerry Miller
Our phone rang. We were told there was a box of candy on our deck. As my wife went to retrieve it the people on the other end of the phone line were sitting in their vehicle at the end of our driveway waving at us. Earlier another couple had dropped an ice cream pail with soup in it on our driveway and waved as our boys went out to retrieve it. Soon a pie and more soup were dropped off. We also received ice cream, pop, and groceries- including some homemade applesauce. We already had plenty of toilet paper.
Our family had been sick and we decided to self quarantine. Our family and friends quickly learned about it and poured their love upon us. 1 John 3:18 says, “Little children, let us not love with word or with tongue, but in deed and truth.” (NASB)
We got to witness the love of others and it helped us out a lot. For years I have heard people say things like, “if you need anything just let us know.” Of course that is the polite thing to say and usually saying such things holds little risk since many of the people around here don’t often ask for help. Many of our friends however stepped up before we even asked them. Those who we did ask actually went over and above what we asked for.
Years before I became a pastor I was spending a lot of time volunteering at church. I was single at the time, so I could afford to do it, but for a time, I was putting in as much time there as if it were a full time job. I wanted to give and felt it was a blessing to do it. One day a man met me outside of church and wanted to hand me some money for the time I had put in. I refused it. I did not need it. He looked sad as I did so. Another friend saw what was happening and told me that I was depriving our friend
of a blessing by not accepting his gift. I realized I had been wrong in not taking it.
Much of my refusal to take the gift had been rooted not just in my lack of need, but also in my pride. Even if I did not need it I could graciously take the gift and then pass it on to someone else. A doctor named Luke wrote the book of Acts. He reminds us in, Ac 20:35 “In everything I showed you that by working hard in this manner you must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He Himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’” (NASB)
Knowing that it is more blessed to give than to receive, I can understand all the smiles we saw from the vehicles in our driveway. Their joy was an uplift to us, but we could tell that their joy was not fake. They really were feeling blessed.
It is fun watching people open packages at Christmas time, but the people in our driveway looked way more excited and happy about helping us than what most people do as they unwrap their gifts.
In the days ahead I expect a number of us will be facing new challenges. I understand that there are some who are always taking advantage of others, and many fear becoming like them. Let us be careful that we not overcompensate in the other direction and not take the help that many really desire to give. Not everyone has lost their jobs. Many will have the ability to share and will want to do so. Let us not be too proud to let others have a blessing by graciously accepting their help.
We are so thankful for God’s provision to us through these wonderful people. We are also thankful for the joy they got in helping us. www.southtownchurch.com
By Chris HoganIf you’re feeling panicked about
money in these uncertain times, I want you to hear me on this:
You are not alone.You will be okay.People all across the country are
wanting to know how the COVID-19 virus will affect their finances. Here are some of the top questions I’m getting about how to handle money during this trying time.
What should I do to protect myself and my family right now?
Conserve your financial resources. This means cutting unnecessary spending, like cable television, eating out, and subscription memberships. Focus on taking care of the Four Walls. I’m talking about the absolute necessities—food, shelter, utilities, and transportation.
Should I cash out my investments or take my money out of the bank?
Absolutely not! The stock market is like a rollercoaster, and you don’t jump off a rollercoaster in the middle
of the ride.If you pull your money out now,
you’re guaranteed a loss. But if you ride it out, you can bet the value will eventually go back up. Plus, bank deposits are insured by the FDIC and protected up to at least $250,000.
How long will this last?Honestly, I don’t know. What I do
know is the economy will recover. All you have to do is look at history as a guide. The market has always gone back up, even after the 2008 crash and other pandemics, like SARS.
How can I give myself some cushion in case of job loss?
Now is the time to build up your emergency fund. Focus on getting three to six months of expenses saved up. If you’re receiving a tax refund, put that money in a savings account. If you need extra money, sell some things around the house, or look for part-time work at companies that are experiencing high demand.
Remember, control what you can
control, and don’t let fear dominate you. It may take a while to get through all this, but you’re going to be okay!

Lincoln Co. Sheriff's Log March 15 - 21
This 2001 photo shows the inside of another good cafe in Cantondown inside the Salebarn. This is owner/operator of the sale barnCafe. This is Theresa Beckman taking a break in her cafe.
Here again is Theresa Beckman serving coffee, donuts and home-made pies for the afternoon coffee break. She also owned a computerbusiness, but liked doing this much more. She leased the cafe portionof the building from Roger and Sid Koedam and Daune Rus.
This is a big photo of the big crowds on the bleachers in the big salebarn auction area. This is a 1952 grand opening which probably a littlebigger crowd then the ordinary Wednesday Auction Sales.
This was a new business in 1976 down town opening a new beerjoint in the south side of the big building on 100 block of West 6thStreet. This new owner was “Pat’s Place” who took over the formerGreen Spade. The Green Spade was in the basement of big building at6th and Main on the southeast corner. The building Pat moved intois the “fur building warehouse.” Remnants and signs are still visableinside where the bar was.
Dear Dave,In light of recent events in our
country, do you have suggestions for things people should think about and plan for if they get laid off from their jobs?
SamDear Sam,It’s no secret that things are
shutting down all across the world. If your workplace has closed its doors and isn’t offering pay, then it’s time to regroup and get some things in order. The thought of being without a paycheck can be overwhelming, but a little thought and planning can help you get though times like these.
Start living on a budget, if you aren’t doing so already. Making a monthly budget will show you exactly where your money is going. Without it, you can’t use every dollar to its fullest potential, because you don’t even know how much money you have to work with. Plus, your budget will show places where you can cut back and save money.
If you don’t have any income right now, make a budget based on the amount of money on hand. If you have $600 left to your name, budget out exactly where each of those dollars will go. It’s time to squeeze every last penny out of what you’ve got. If you still have cash coming in from a spouse’s job or some other source, then adjust your budget to reflect that. Maybe the two of you usually bring in a combined $5,000 a month. Adjust your budget to live off that one
income for the time being.When the going gets tough,
you need to focus on the things you really need to survive—food, ut i l it ies, shelter, and transportation. I call these the Four Walls. If there’s any money left over after you take care of the Four Walls, make a list of what else you need to pay, and tackle those in order of importance. Reach out to anyone you can’t pay, and explain the situation. They might be able to work something out, but they can’t help if they don’t know. Be up front with them, and pray for the best.
When you’re just trying to make it to another day, you don’t need to pay extra on debt. Instead, focus on piling up cash. Once life gets back to normal and everything is okay, you can pick up where you left off with your debt snowball. If it’s within your budget to keep making minimum payments on your debt, go for it. But the Four Walls come first. This is also the time to sell anything and everything you don’t need to make some extra cash.
With so much being shut down right now, there might not be as many traditional ways to make extra money. So, look into driving for Amazon, delivering takeout food, or dropping off grocery orders. Even if one of those doesn’t work out, you can still take up odd jobs around your neighborhood. Be on the lookout for opportunities that will add a few extra bucks to your
pocket. Don’t forget to cut back on unnecessary expenses, either. Stop or pause your subscriptions. Call your cable, internet, and cellular providers to see if there’s anything they’ll do to work with you.
Finally, in times of real need, don’t be too proud to ask for a helping hand. Many churches and community groups in your area exist for situations just like this.
God bless you all!—Dave

Windmill Of My Mind
by Margaret Schultz
It is almost April, and we can’t wait! Right? It holds Palm Sunday, Easter, Daffodils, Tulips, and other little plants emerging from the warming soil. There will be days when the sun will shine warmly and it will actually be fun to get out and rake away the wet, dead leaves, giving the greening grass a chance to breathe in that sunshine.
It will be a very different Easter season this year. At our church, we love to walk around the church block, following a humble, sometimes shaggy, donkey, as we wave Palm branches and sing songs of glad Hosanna. I’ll miss that.
The annual Easter egg hunt at our Canton Good Samaritan Home, after the residents have stuffed hundreds of plastic eggs, will not happen. It brings a great deal of joy to the residents as well as the children . They’ll miss that.
And Easter Sunday – well, none of us can hardly stand to think about that. The youth of the church do an outstanding job of the Easter Sunrise service, then breakfast, followed by the wonderful celebration worship service with glorious music! We will all miss that.
There have been little “jokes” passed around about Easter. These are really an effort to alleviate the ache we feel in our hearts and souls, knowing that we can’t gather and rejoice together. “Where shall we spend Easter this year? The living room, the dining room, the kitchen?”
And “just think how comfortable we will be, in our jammies or sweat pants, as we watch church on TV.” No one wants that. I love the “stained glass “painted windows that so many folks are doing in their homes. I believe the creativity will just get better and better.
I found something the other day, that I want to share. It is not mine and I don’t know to whom the credit belongs, but I still want to share it.
TOP TEN PREDICTIONS FOR 2020
1. The Bible will still have all the answers.
2. Prayer will still be the most powerful thing on Earth.
3. The Holy Spirit will still move.4. God will still honor the praises
of His people.5. There will still be God-anointed
preaching.6. There will still be singing of
praise to God.7. God will still pour out blessings
upon His people8. There will still be room at the
Cross.9. Jesus will still love you.10. Jesus will still save the lost
when they come to Him.Isn’t it great to remember who
is really in control, and that “the Word of the Lord endures forever.” (1 Peter 1:25)
I hope you found this encouraging. Sometimes we need the reminder of just WHO is really in control.
In this week’s column, I’m not going to get into anything too deep or interesting, because I know that a lot of us need a bit of a mental break. Instead, I’m going to share a few recipes for the sensory materials the kids and I have made over the last few weeks to keep them entertained, plus a couple of recipes for some easy staple foods we have been making around here as well. So if you need a few extra ideas, here you go!
I read something this last week that got me thinking about positivity and gratitude. It was a list of “Daily Quarantine Questions” to ask yourself each day, and I thought they serve as a good reminder during this trying time. They are 1) What am I grateful for today? 2) Who am I checking in on or connecting with today? 3) What expectations of “normal” am I letting go of today? 4) How am I getting outside today? 5) How am I moving my body today? and 6) What beauty am I either creating, cultivating or inviting in today?
It takes a village, and I’m thankful we live in such a great one. I love all of the “Bear Hunt” photos, as well as the painted windows and other things I am seeing on social media to bring us all together even though we are spending so much time apart. Keep it up! And as always, stay safe and healthy, everyone! God Bless You!

Sensory ActivitiesOobleck (based on the book
Bartholomew and the Oobleck by Dr. Seuss)
Ingredients:1 cup water1.5 - 2 cups corn starchFood coloring of your choice
(optional)Oobleck is a classic science
experiment that is perfect for entertaining both kids and adults. It is a non-newtonian fluid, meaning that it acts like a liquid when being poured, but like a solid when a force is acting on it.
Combine all ingredients and stir together until mixed completely. You will want to make sure to experiment with the Oobleck in a container of some sort, as it is not solid enough to play on a flat surface like playdough. Don’t be afraid of the mess that it WILL make; it can easily be cleaned up with a wet kitchen towel. Drips on the floor can be swept up once dry.
Kool Aid Play Dough Ingedients:1 cup flour1/4 cup salt2 Tbsp cream of tartar1 Tbsp oil1 cup water1 package Kool-Aid of your
choiceIn a medium saucepan, combine
all ingredients and cook over medium heat. Mix constantly with a spoon until a ball forms. Set aside to cool. Once cooled, sprinkle flour over the top and knead with hands until stickiness is gone. Enjoy!
Coffee Play DoughIngredients:3 cups flour1 1/2 cups salt6 tsp cream of tartar6 Tbsp oil3 cups waterWet coffee grounds from
morning coffeeUsing an electric mixer, mix all
ingredients together in a bowl, then cook over medium heat until it forms a ball. Remove from heat, knead together with hands using sprinkles of flour to remove stickiness. Store in a baggie or air-tight container.
RecipesHoney Beer Bread
Ingredients: 3 cups all-purpose flour (sifted)3 tsp baking powder1 tsp salt1/4 cup honey1 Tbsp minced garlic4 Tbsp butter (melted)12 oz. beerPreheat oven to 375 degrees.
Combine flour, baking powder and salt with a spoon. Add honey, garlic, butter and beer and mix well. Pour into a greased bread loaf pan and bake for 45 minutes, or until poking a toothpick comes out clean.
Best Banana Bread EverIngredients:1/2 cup butter, softened to room
temperature1/2 cup light brown sugar
(packed)1/4 cup sugar2 large eggs6 medium-sized overly ripe
bananas (mashed)1 tsp vanilla extract2 cups all-purpose flour1 1/2 tsp baking soda1/4 tsp saltPreheat oven to 350 degrees with
rack on lower middle position. Grease a non-stick 9x5 loaf pan and set aside. Cream together the butter and both sugars until light and fluffy. Add eggs and stir until combined. Add mashed bananas and vanilla extract and continue until all mixed together. Add in and stir the flour, baking soda and salt until thoroughly combined. Scrape batter into greased loaf pan and even out batter to the edges of the pan. Bake for one hour, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few tender crumbs attached.
Soft and Fluffy White BreadIngredients:1 2/3 cups lukewarm water
at room temperature)4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour1 1/2 Tbsp butter (melted for
brushing)In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted
with the dough hook, combine half of the lukewarm water, yeast and sugar. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy. Add remaining water, honey, salt, cubed butter and 4 cups flour to the bowl. Knead at low speed until the dough is soft but not sticky. Add a few more tablespoons of flour if necessary. Continue to knead for 6-9 minutes until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl and is soft and smooth.
Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl and make sure that it is completely coated. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise for 45 minutes or until doubled in size.
Lightly flour your work surface and place the dough on top of it. Divide into two equal portions. Use your fingers to gently shape each half into a rectangular shape and place each loaf into a greased loaf pan. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise for 45 minutes in a warm place until doubled in size.
Preheat oven to 390 degrees and place oven rack to lower-middle position. Bake loaves for 25-30 minutes until golden brown. Remove from oven and set aside for ten minutes. Brush tops with melted butter and let cool completely before slicing.

By Rollie SteckThe Canton City Commission met
in special session on Wednesday, March 25 at 4 p.m. at City Hall or via conference call. All Commissioners were present at the time of roll call.
Mayor Sandra Lundstrom started the meeting by saying that this current situation is heartbreaking and read a letter to address the Citizens of Canton. The letter from Mayor Lundstrom read as follows:
“We can only hope and pray the actions we are taking today will help curb the spread of COVID-19. This action is not an easy decision, it is heartbreaking and stressful. We are doing this for our Citizens, in hoping that we are helping to protect all, especially the people whose health is already compromised.
We can’t stop the spread of the virus but we can slow it down, so hospitals aren’t overwhelmed in trying to treat large numbers of patients at one time. We ask you to be respectful and responsible in your actions. You aren’t only affecting your own health, but everyone, your family and neighbors.
The coming days and weeks are going to be critical in community spread of the virus because it is here. We do have a confirmed case in Lincoln County.
Many people live and work in Canton, but also work in Sioux Falls and outlying areas. We encourage other Cities and Municipalities in our nearest and abutting Counties to also take these steps. We need to be united in these actions.
We are compiling a list of businesses and phone numbers for ease in contacting Canton businesses who have taken the initiative to close their doors to the public. If you need help, call City Hall and hopefully we can guide you in the direction to receive the assistance you need.
Be mindful of all hospital personnel and first responders as they are on the front lines of this pandemic. Childcare providers are a necessary part of this process, we thank them for taking steps to be as safe as they can be. There are too many organizations and individuals to thank for stepping up and offering assistance. Just know we are grateful.
Take care of yourselves, family and neighbors. We are all in this together. We will get past this difficult time and with everyone cooperating maybe we can make this happen sooner rather than later. Continue to isolate and practice good hygiene and social distancing. If you are showing symptoms, please stay home and contact your healthcare provider.” - Mayor Sandra Lundstrom
The only item under New Business was an emergency ordinance to
slow the spread of COVID-19. Mayor Lundstrom said they will have a second reading in five days. The ordinance will require thatall non-essential businesses close public areas to help slow the spreadof COVID-19. Carryout will still be allowed. Commissioner ToddBaldwin said he hates to enact this ordinance, but he does not think thatthe community can underestimate the situation. Commissioner Jerry Chaon asked if other Municipalities have enacted a similar ordinance. Mayor Lundstrom said many municipalities in South Dakota are working to enact a similarordinance.
Commissioner Sara Steffensen mentioned that there have been some questions whether the golfcourse would be included in this ordinance. Mayor Lundstromsaid the clubhouse and the restaurant would have to abide by this ordinance. Hiawatha GolfCourse Board Member Mike Kuper mentioned that he has been working with the South Dakota Golf Course Association regarding ways to minimize social contact. He said they are working on ways to avoid contact with certain items such as the flag stick and rake forthe bunkers. Kuper also mentionedthey are working on a solution forcart rentals. Mayor Lundstrom saidthat sounds reasonable. Baldwin said the Commission does not plan to close the parks to the Citizens and reminded the Citizens to practice social distancing and wash your hands. Kuper thanked the Commission.
Mayor Lundstrom asked forthe meeting date for the SecondReading to enact this ordinance. City Attorney Larry Nelson saidit needs to be five full days from the time of the First Reading andSundays do not count towards thattime. Motion to hold the special meeting on Tuesday, March 31 at4:30 p.m. by Baldwin. No second is needed.

Commission Holds Special Meeting for First Reading of Emergency Ordinance
During This Time of Uncertainty, Remember to Reflect
By Governor Kristi Noem March 27, 2020 For weeks, we’ve all been glued
to the news searching for updates about COVID-19. Since March 10, 2020, I have provided almost daily updates about the science, data, and facts that are informing my decision-making, not just on a day-to-day basis, but sometimes on an hour-by-hour basis. Our team is doing its absolute best, and our best is very good.
It’s important to remember, this is not an ancient plague – we have the knowledge and the resources of modern medicine that give us the tools to defeat this, as we have so many other illnesses that we’ve dealt with in the past from polio to flu. Rest assured that we will do so.
Earlier this week, I addressed the people of South Dakota, not as my bosses, but as my neighbors. I asked each and every one of you to pause and to take a step back. Let me tell you why.
One of my staffers was recently trying to pick up groceries. She asked the cashier when she went through the line how she was doing, and unprompted, this woman got very emotional. She started to get tears in her eyes, and she said, “I’m really scared.” Then for several minutes, the cashier outlined all of her fears and what was keeping her awake at night.
I understand that. I’ve heard from many of you myself – from my family, my friends, and some total strangers – who feel exactly the same way. I’ve spoken about how we’re in this for the long-
haul. For South Dakota, we expect this to take many, many weeks – perhaps even months – to run its course.
I have state employees who are – quite literally – working around
the clock. I recently had a young man who passed out in the middle of a meeting from dehydration. He is doing well now, after some much needed rest.
But I share that with you because what you need to know is that the folks who are helping me – the faceless state employees, who are doing everything they can to get information to you, to help those who have questions, who need guidance about what kind of resources there are or how they can help people, they are working 60, 70, and 80 hours a week. The same is true for EMS workers, hospital workers, and many volunteers in your communities.
Friends and neighbors may be sick. Family members may be worried about how their bills are
going to be paid this month, how they’re going to put food on the table, and how they’re going to keep a roof over their head, if this continues much longer.
So my message to you is please take time to press pause. Put down your smartphones, turn off your TVs, maybe go for a walk. Spend time with your family. Call a loved one. Just take a break. Focus on the good things that you have in your life - the blessings. Reflect with gratitude on how fortunate we are in this country to live in the modern world. A threat like this can break us down – or it can make us truly appreciate the many blessings that we do have.
If there’s anything that we all can rally around today, it’s that we all have a common enemy – and that’s this virus.
It’s okay to be uncertain at times. But at the same time, we can also pour ourselves into our families, into our neighbors, and into our communities. People are afraid, and they’re worried. And some may be losing hope. But my message to you is hang in there. We will get through this, and we will persevere.
So, even if it’s just for a little bit, would you please consider taking a step back. Press pause. Go for a walk. Just be quiet for a little bit, and really reflect on the good things that we do have.
My hope is that, despite this situation, we all find a way to allow this to help bring us all together. To remind us of what is truly important in life. To remind us of three things: faith, hope and love, and the greatest of these is love.
During This Time of Uncertainty, Remember to Reflect
Q: Will I receive a $1,200 check from the federal government to help with the economic stress of COVID-19?
A: Most likely, yes – if you make less than $75k a year individually or $150k as a couple and filed taxes in 2018, 2019, or have a Form SSA-1099 that the government can reference, you will receive a payment in a few weeks. Parents will also receive $500 per child. Social security beneficiaries are also eligible for the payment. Couples who file jointly will be eligible for up to $2,400. If your income exceeds one of the income thresholds, your tax rebate will be $5 less for every additional $100 of taxable income.
Q: I own a small business – can I get a loan? Am I eligible?
A: If your business is struggling from the COVID-19 outbreak, you may be eligible for different t y p e s o f S m a l l B u s i n e s s Administration (SBA) loans such as an Economic Injury Disaster Loan or a Paycheck Protection Loan. Businesses and 501(c)(3)s with less than 500 employees will likely be eligible. The SBA will offer loans at a low-interest rate, that may be partially forgivable, and that are 100% guaranteed by the SBA. Contact the Small Business Administration, South Dakota District Office at 605-330-4243 or sba.gov/sd for more information.
Q: I own a small business and can’t pay rent. What will the Paycheck Protection Loan cover?
A: Small businesses will be able to use the Paycheck Protection Loan program to take out a loan for up to $10 million. If a business retains its staff, a small business owner may have 8 weeks of payroll costs, health care benefits, rent, and utilities forgiven as part of the loan by the government. Contact the Small Business Administration, South Dakota District Office at 605-330-4243 or sba.gov/sd for more information.
Q : I ’m a n i n d e p e n d e n t contractor – am I eligible for unemployment?
A: Yes. The Phase Three CARES
Act expanded unemployment insurance for an additional four months. Individuals who are self-employed or an independent contractor are now eligible.
Q: I lost my job and can’t pay my student loans. What do I do?
A : Fe de r a l s t ude nt lo a n borrowers can pause their federal student loan payments until September 30, 2020. The president has also suspended interest on federal student loans until further notice. Borrowers must contact their loan servicer to suspend their payments.
Q: As a rancher feed cattle prices and my business have been hit hard by the market downturn. Will I get any help?
A: The CARES Act includes $14 billion to replenish the U.S. Depar tment of Agr iculture Commodity Credit Corporation, making another round of MFP possible and gave the Secretary of Agriculture an additional $9.5 billion to provide relief to livestock and dairy producers. The South Dakota delegation fought for these funds, and while the USDA Secretary will determine how they are allocated, our producers will receive help.
Q: Will tribal governments receive federal assistance?
A: Yes – there is a pot of relief funds specif ically for tribal governments. Additional resources have been allocated for the Indian Health Services, Indian education, food distribution on reservations, and tribal housing entities.
Q: My child’s school is shut down until May, will they have to repeat the school year?
A: Contact your local school about their plan for the remainder of the year. Congress has provided flexibilities by diverting funds to technology programs for distance education. Additionally, the Trump administration has waived the requirement for standardized testing for the year.
Q: I can’t afford to get tested for COVID-19. What should I do?
A: All tests for COVID-19 are covered with no out of pocket costs.

AssociationBROOKINGS — Because of
coronavirus caution, schools in South Dakota are closed until May 4. That’s not preventing the South Dakota High School Activities Association from making plans for state tournaments once school is back in session.
The SDHSAA board of directors met by teleconference Friday morning and decided to let its staff work on planning for how sports and arts activities would take place once school resumes. They will also allow the staff to work on planning for the resumption of sports and activities that were postponed when the schools closed.
“Nobody knows what the world’s going to look like a month from now,” said SDHSAA Executive Director Dan Swartos. Despite the uncertainty, the SDHSAA staff has been making plans for spring sports and activities.
Swartos cautioned board members that all plans were contingent on school reopening on May 4 and the Centers for Disease Control easing its guidelines that prohibit large gatherings.
“We’re trying to predict what those guidelines are going to look like a month and a half from now,” Swartos said. “We don’t really know that.”
Whenever possible, the staff is projecting that spring state events would take place on weekends. “We wanted to stay off of weekdays and give schools as many days as possible with the kids in school,” Swartos said.
The All-State Jazz Band would change from a three-day event to two days and be pushed back one week to May 15 and 16.
An abbreviated boys’ tennis
tournament could be held on Friday, May 22, for AA schools and Saturday, May 23, for A schools. SDHSAA Assistant Executive Director Jo Auch explained that some schools aren’t scheduled to be in session May 22. The timing might be tight for schools planning on having graduation on May 24, Auch said.
In case of rain, the tournament could be moved to June 5 and 6.
Track and field would be treated like the state has suffered through a long winter that caused a very abbreviated season, according to SDHSAA Assistant Executive Director John Krogstrand. After qualifying regional meets on Tuesday, May 26, the state meet would be held May 28 and 29.
Girls’ golf would have a shortened season similar to track and field, Krogstrand said, with the state tournament held June 1 and 2 as originally scheduled.
Regional music contests would be left to the discretion of regional directors, Swartos said. Those regional contests differ from All-State Band, he said, because they rely on the performance of ensembles. All-State Band musicians already have their music and can be practicing at home, Swartos said.
Board chairman Moe Ruesink of Sioux Valley in Volga said it was important to give athletes, musicians and their families hope by allowing the staff to explore the scheduling of spring events.
“I think it’s important that we provide hope,” said board member Brian Maher of Sioux Falls. “I also think it’s important we not provide false hope.” Maher noted that it was just too early to tell if school would resume or if CDC guidelines would be eased. “We need to be careful not to provide false hope that these
are going to go on no matter what.”The staff also presented tentative
plans for the resumption of events that were postponed when schools were shut down. Tentative plans calls for All-State Band to be held in Mitchell on June 11-13.
State basketball tournaments that were suspended or postponed would tentatively take place the week of June 15-20.
“We have options on the table as far as being able to play those tournaments,” Krogstrand said, noting that a variety of venues are available that week.
Guidance would need to be given to member schools about the eligibility of graduating seniors. Those students would be eligible to play, Krogstrand said, if they didn’t take part in college workouts or attend college classes.
“Once they do that, they basically become a college athlete and they’re locked into playing for their college team,” Krogstrand said.
The visual arts exhibit of student works would be held during the state basketball tournaments.
While board members and staff often repeated that they could not predict the future, they were solidly behind planning as if school will reopen and crowds will once again be allowed to gather.
“I think everybody wants to do what’s best for students,” said board member Craig Cassens of Faulkton. “Nobody wants to finish their high school career without having some sense of normalcy. It’s way too early in the ball game to cancel anything.”
The board has its annual meeting in April and is considering dates for an emergency meeting in early May in the event that school is cancelled for the year.

RESOLUTION NO. 2020-07A RESOLUTION TO ADDRESS
A PUBLIC HEALTH CRISIS BY RECOMMENDING COMPLIANCE WITH CERTAIN MEASURES WHICH HAVE BEEN RECOMMENDED TO SLOW THE COMMUNITY SPREAD OF THE VIRUS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COVID-19 DISEASE.
WHEREAS, an outbreak of the COVID-19 disease, which is caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (the “virus”), has been confi rmed in
more than 100 countries, including the United States; and
WHEREAS, COVID-19 is a severe respiratory disease caused by the virus transmitted by person-to-person contact, or by contact with surfaces contaminated by the virus. In some cases, especially among older adults and persons with serious underlying health conditions, virus infection can result in serious illness requiring hospitalization, admission to an intensive care unit, and death; and
WHEREAS, the World Health Organization (WHO), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services have declared the outbreak of the virus causing the COVID-19 disease as a public health emergency; and
WHEREAS, on March 13, 2020, President Donald Trump declared a national emergency in response to the global pandemic of COVID-19; and
WHEREAS, on the same day, Governor Kristi Noem, issued Executive Order 2020-04 which declared a state of emergency to exist in the State of South Dakota in response to the spread of the virus causing the COVID-19 disease; and
WHEREAS, cases of infection from the virus causing the COVID-19 disease have been confi rmed in the State of South Dakota, and cases of community transmission are reasonably suspected to exist; and
WHEREAS, the CDC and health experts have recommended social distancing to slow the spread of the virus causing the COVID-19 disease; and
WHEREAS, social distancing is a method of slowing down or stopping the spread of a contagious disease by reducing the probability of contact between infected persons and those not infected in order to minimize disease transmission; and
WHEREAS, in response to the need to implement social distancing, all schools in the State of South Dakota have been closed for at least two weeks; and
WHEREAS, on March 16th, the White House issued guidance recommending that gatherings of more than ten (10) people be avoided and that people avoid eating or drinking at bars, restaurants, and food courts; and
WHEREAS, the guidance issued by the White House further recommended that in states with evidence of community transmission, bars, restaurants, food courts, gyms, and other indoor and outdoor venues where people congregate should be closed; and
WHEREAS, many states and communities across the country have already implemented the White House recommendations by ordering all bars, restaurants, food courts, gyms, and other indoor and outdoor venues where people congregate be closed until the public health emergency is over; and
WHEREAS, the failure to successfully implement social distancing will likely result in higher numbers of infected individuals and has the potential to overwhelm the capacity of the City’s and surrounding communities’ health care providers; and
WHEREAS, it is important that control measures be taken to reduce or slow down the spread of the virus in order to protect the health and safety of the City’s residents, especially for seniors and those with underlying health conditions that make them particularly vulnerable to the COVID-19 disease; and
WHEREAS, on March 23, 2020, Governor Kristi Noem, issued Executive Order 2020-08 outlining guidelines for all South Dakotans, for-profi t and not-for-profi t employers, enclosed retail businesses that promote public gatherings, and healthcare organizations as it relates to COVID-19 in the state of South Dakota (the “Executive Order”); and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Harrisburg (the “City”) supports the Executive Order and strongly urges its residents and businesses to observe the directives of the Executive Order and follow CDC guidance as it relates to COVID-19 in the state of South Dakota.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Harrisburg City Council that:

Auditor, Marlene Sweeter, began the discussion on future funding for roads and bridges by pointing out graphs in the 2019 Annual Report describing the expenditures and revenues. Sweeter also mentioned the drainage and roadprojects needed in the near future.Sweeter continued to explain the limitations to our current property tax revenues. When asked how the Countycan increase revenues, Sweeter replied that the only way to increase Lincoln County levy is by opt out. Current taxesare not enough to cover expenditures. Discussion was had about how opt outs work with an emphasis on the fact that a County can opt out for acertain amount and not use the total amount of the opt out if the money isnot necessary at that time.
Highway and Bridge Superintendent,Terry Fluit, presented projects withestimates needed as described by the Master Transportation Plan and explained that the current budget only covers maintenance, not projects.Fluit continued by asking the Boardthe following questions: Are we going to fund projects completely within municipalities or follow the procedure as done with the City of Tea for the Highway 106 project by turning over roads to the municipalities? If we are going to take over some township roads to hard surface, how are we going todecide which roads to do so to? What are the priority criteria for projects? Commissioner Arends commented that he would prefer the municipalitiesfollow the example of Tea and the Highway 106 project. Commissioner Schmidt commented that the biggest need was in the northern portion ofthe County.

Arends continued to offer bond debt as a possible solution to revenueshortcomings in place of an opt out.Commissioner Poppens commentedthat they need to try their hardest to keep the tax burden low. Poppenscontinued to suggest that this topic repeat on every-other meeting agenda in order to discuss it thoroughly and come to a conclusion.

MOTION by Schmidt seconded by Landeen to approve the agenda for March 17, 2020, emergency meeting. Landeen. “Aye” Schmidt. “Aye” Gillespie: “Aye” Arends: “Aye” Poppens “Aye”. Motion carried.
RESOLUTION: BE IT REOLVED THAT Pursuant to SDCL 7-8-14 Lincoln County is declaring an emergency due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) in order to place social distancing and precautionary policies to prevent the spread of the virus that has been declared a pandemic. Motion by Landeen seconded by Schmidt. Landeen. “Aye” Schmidt. “Aye” Gillespie: “Aye” Arends: “Nay”. Discussion took place regarding the parameters of the emergency declaration.

Landeen. “Aye” Schmidt. “Aye” Gillespie: “Aye” Arends: “Aye” Poppens “Aye”. Motion carried.
Human Resource Director Julia Disburg informed the Commission that Lincoln County Department Heads had a meeting to discuss COVID 19 Procedures for Lincoln County. The following was presented to the Board as a recommendation for procedures to be put in place.
The County is continuing to closely monitor the evolving situation with COVID-19. The health and safety of our employees and the public is a concern. The following are meant to be general guidelines and will not be
as directly relevant to all departments and positions (such as law enforcement personnel or other emergency staff). These guidelines will be reviewed as this fl uid situation changes.
Courthouse Operations• The courthouse will be limiting
public access in a precautionary measure to minimize the risk of exposure to any illness.
o The public will be asked to conduct as much business over the phone or through the mail as possible. Any business that needs to be conducted face to face will need a pre-arranged scheduled appointment.
o The courthouse will have a member of the Sheriff’s Offi ce to administer a screening to all public members that enter the courthouse. Those that fail the screening will be asked to leave and conduct business over the phone or schedule a time to meet with the applicable department once their temperature has subsided.
o Additional signage outlining courthouse precautionary measures will be secured on all doors.
• Staff that regularly works with the public will be asked to use gloves.
• Departments that have window openings will be limited to serve the public.
Employees Who Arrive to Work Sick• Many times, with the best of
intentions, employees report to work even though they feel ill. It is important that employees do not work while they are experiencing respiratory symptoms such as fever, cough, shortness of breath, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, body aches, headache, chills or fatigue.
• In accordance with CDC recommendations, employees who have symptoms of acute respiratory illness should stay home and not come to work until they are free of fever (100 degrees F or 37.8 degrees C), signs of a fever, or any other symptoms for at least 24 hours, without the use of fever-reducing or other symptom-altering medicines (e.g. cough suppressants).
• For the benefi t of all staff and the public, if an employee reports to work with these symptoms, you should separate the employee immediately from other staff and send the employee home (or arrange for immediate medical care if needed).
Time Off for Other COVID-19 Related Issues
• School or Day Care Closures: Emergency or essential staff with children should make alternative arrangements in case of school or day care closures since they may be required to be at work given the nature of their positions. Non-emergency staff with children should be allowed to use vacation and accrued compensatory time if they must be absent due to school or day care closures.
• High Risk Employees and/or Immediate Family Members: Employees or immediate family members that are currently living with an employee who are at a higher risk of getting very sick from COVID-19 such as older adults or people with serious chronic medical conditions like heart disease, diabetes, or lung disease (in accordance with CDC guidelines) are being advised to take particular care to avoid illness. Employees at high risk, whether in emergency positions or not, should be given alternative work arrangements which minimize or eliminate contact with the public or other employees to the extent possible. Alternatively, employees at high risk (as defi ned above) should be allowed to utilize their vacation time if they wish.
• If an employee is out sick or show symptoms of being ill, it may become necessary to request information from the employee and/or the healthcare provider. In general, we would request medical information to confi rm your need to be absent, to show whether and how an absence relates to the infection, and to know that it is appropriate for the employee to return to work. FMLA guidelines will be adhered to when appropriate.
• Any disclosure of medical
information is in limited circumstances with supervisors, managers, fi rst aid and safety personnel and government offi cials as required by law.
Alternative Work Arrangements Including Working from Home
• Please make any business or operational changes that will minimize public and employee contact. (See Social Distancing below.)
• Although it will not be possible for all employees – particularly emergency or essential staff, consider alternative scheduling or working from home options particularly for individuals who must be at home due to illness, care for an immediate family member, or due to a school or day care closure. Jake Oakland is available for consultation about information technology resources.
• If you have an employee who may be at high risk for COVID-19, please consider all reasonable options for enhancing social distancing including work from home options. When not possible (or at the employee’s request), approve sick/vacation leave.
• Employees, whether exempt or overtime eligible, who work from home should follow the regular process for recording work and leave hours.
Social Distancing at Work• Provide services through electronic
means or mail where possible. Minimize direct contact to the extent possible.
• Refrain from hand shaking.• Minimize face to face meetings.
Use telephone, on-line conferencing, or email to conduct business as much as possible even when participants are in the same building.
• If a face to face meeting is unavoidable, minimize the meeting time or choose a large meeting room where employees sit farther away from each other.
• Avoid congregating in work rooms, pantries, copier rooms, or other areas where people socialize.
o No congregating in the breakroom until further notice.
• For the immediate future, if employees with work desks or personal areas prefer to eat there in order to avoid break rooms, allow it. However, ensure that overtime eligible employees refrain from working during lunch breaks; if they do perform work, they must record their work time.
Environmental and Personal Hygiene• All departments should use
disposable disinfectant wipes to routinely clean all frequently touched surfaces in the workplace, such as workstations, keyboards, countertops, and doorknobs. This should be done at least once per day.
• Facilities has requested that cleaning crews ensure door handles in public areas (bathroom, entry to suites, building entry/exit doors) are wiped down during regularly scheduled night cleaning. Departments should also consider wiping down public areas during the day.
• Remind employees of the need for handwashing, and covering cough/sneeze, and refraining from touching eyes, nose, and mouth.
SuppliesFacilities is coordinating purchase
of disposable disinfectant wipes, hand sanitizer, and tissue. However, some items are in short supply or unavailable. Please contact Facilities with requests.
Commissioner Arends requested that the following also be incorporated in the protocol for entering the Courthouse:
1. Persons who have traveled to any of the following countries within the last 14 days: China, South Korea, Italy or Iran
2. Persons who reside or have had close contact with someone who has traveled to one of the countries listed above within the last 14 days
3. Persons who have been asked to self-quarantine by any doctor or other medical provider, hospital, or health agency if they remain within that time of self-quarantine
4. Persons who have been diagnosed with, or have had contact with,
anyone who has been diagnosed with COVID-19
5. unless and until they have completed a quarantine period
6. Persons with fever, cough or shortness of breath.
If yes is answered to any of the above questions, they will be asked to leave the building.
RESOLUTION: NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED to authorize 3.5 hours of administrative leave for the Assessor’s Offi ce for Friday, March 13, 2020. Motion by Arends and seconded by Gillespie. Landeen. “Aye” Schmidt. “Aye” Gillespie: “Aye” Arends: “Aye” Poppens “Aye”. Motion carried. Motion by Arends and seconded by Gillespie to amend the resolution to authorize the necessary hours of administrative leave for the Assessor’s Offi ce.

Human Resources also asked the Commission for a sense of direction for upcoming Public Meetings. There was discussion of the Public meetings for the Public Safety Center, for Planning and Zoning meetings and Conditional Use Public Hearings.

A s the United States faces the worst public health crisis in a generation, we want you to know we are here for you — and with you.
Whatever happens, whenever it happens, your newspaper will be there for you.
We’ll be there to let you know how our com-munity is managing through this crisis — from business to government to the health care sys-tem and schools to the drastic impact on indi-viduals and families.
And we’ll be there to let you know about the good and extraordinary things happening in the midst of this crisis — the woman in East Ridge sewing masks for health workers, the city and
nonprofit workers attending to the homeless community, the volunteers bringing food to elderly people who cannot leave their homes, the health workers putting themselves in harm’s way to care for the sick. Amidst the sadness and anxiety, there are uplifting moments that remind us of the resilience of the human spirit, and we’ll be there to document those too.
Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee said the coronavirus has created an unprecedented health and eco-nomic crisis in our state.
“We need every Tennessean on board to beat this pandemic,” the governor said. “Success starts with swift, accurate information and we support the efforts of the press to keep every
Tennessean informed."We are here to help you make sense of the
situation and to help you navigate it. Having fact-based, reliable reporting that provides pub-lic scrutiny and oversight is more important than ever.
Together, across the decades, this newspaper and its readers have navigated horrific events — natural disasters, terrosism, financial down-turns, periods of extreme political and societal division. This challenge is greater than any of those, but, rest assured, we’ll be here for you. Chattanooga is a resilient city where people come together to build and rebuild. Let’s stick together, and we will come through this, too.

The word normal has changed to where I don’t really know what normal is anymore since so many things have changed in the world that normal is hard to find. I have been thinking of something that is normal to help me stay sane and it came in an email on Sunday from the Hiawatha golf club. They said the course is opening this week and its time to start golfing again with a handful of rules to stay safe and healthy while golfing. I read the restrictions and the 6 foot rule won’t be a problem for me because if its anything like last year’s season the way I don’t hit the ball by anybody because it’s usually way farther than 6 feet behind everybody else. If it means changing some of our normal things a little bit to play golf then I will do my best to not get kicked off the course. I do want to wish the golf course good luck as you get things going and I hope everyone can do their best to abide by the rules they have to put on things to keep the course going so we can all play golf and try to get that part of our lives moving ahead. So like every year I hope everyone can keep hitting their drives over 6 feet past mine and anything under 6 feet on the greens is a give me!!!!!
Since my column is about sports sometimes the only sports I get are the 1000 emails and YouTube updates on who and why the 49ers are suppose to trade or resign or maybe draft before the season hopefully start. I am looking forward to this next season as we had a great season as we just came up one game short of a really great one but we weren’t supposed to be that good so that was a great surprise and now there is a lot of information out there on the Niners. I have listened
to most of the experts on who we should get or let go and sometime I am not sure they know anything more than I do and with the help of Chase we are getting most of the off season stuff figured out. I am guessing every team does the same thing but I don’t remember this much talk about my favorite team until this off season. Maybe I am paying more attention this year because there is nothing else to keep an eye on with no baseball yet or basketball playoffs going on either. Opening day was last week and it was sad to not see any games going on and no Braves box scores to check for so now that it is April all I can say is Go Niners.
Lastly I would like to say that I think it is too bad for the spring sports that should be going on right now like track and girls golf and with no idea if they will get to start this year it is sad for our seniors in all of these because you are getting screwed in your last season as a C-Hawk. I remember back 40 some years ago as I finished my C-Hawk career and how sad I felt finishing it up but as I think about these seniors this year it could be all taken away. Not sure if any of these spring events will get to go on and its not only the sports but all the hard work our musical play has had up till this time along with all the last things the seniors were suppose to be getting to finish up. One thing your seniors can always remember about your time at CHS is no one will ever have a finish to their career than you guys did. Enjoy all you can and your not alone because we are all here with you and I know I wish the best for you as we get to the end of your C-Hawk career. Lets finish this up by having a great time.
