Open from 2-5 p.m. six days a week, it’s a collector’s dream. Picker’s Choice offers a variety of glassware, including beer steins and Coke items, lamps and furniture.

If the prices still aren’t right for your budget, Picker’s Choice does consider offers. Timmermans chose to open his business in Tea because the location was good and the rent is reasonable. While the store has had some success— three couches were sold in five days—Timmermans would like to see more customers come in and explore the store.

Becky Mathiesen was first on the agenda to discuss the new technology fund and recording fees for the County that start July 1, 2012. Every document the record- er’s office receives will be $30. Five dollars of every 30 dollars will go to a technology fund. Three of those dollars will stay with the County, while two of the dollars will go to the State. An example of the things that can be purchased include soft- ware, restoration of the records, equipment, supplies, contract services, training, maintenance equipment. There can be no salaries taken from the money or used for the general fund, ac- cording to Mathiesen. The fund is to only be used for the modernization of the records, basically. The money sent to the state will be divided up 66 ways by county and distributed back to the counties at the end of the year. “We’ve been working with Active Data on our software.

BY ERICA GASPAR TEA WEEKLY REPORTER M any young boys get excited at the thought of taking things apart and trying to put them back together again. Corky Miles was no different. In fact, he says that’s how he got interested in woodworking. Corky doesn’t recall what his first project was, but thinks it was probably a go-kart made with lawn mower wheels and 2 x 4s. Corky, now retired, served as a City of Sioux Falls firefighter for over 27 years. Although woodworking can be a dangerous hobby, safety is always his top priority. Shiny red fire extinguishers stood at the ready in his woodshop in the lower level of his Tea home, but Corky says he hasn’t had to use one yet and plans to keep it that way. Other safety measures Corky says it is important to take include eye protection—he uses a full-face shield—respiratory protection, such as a dust mask, and hearing protection. Corky uses a pair of ear muffs (similar to ones you might see at a shooting range) to protect his hearing and says wood- working can be a “very loud” hobby. Corky has created a lot of things from wood over the years—book- cases, coffee tables, end tables, Christmas ornaments, a desk and match- ing filing cabinets, iceboxes, many different bowls and duck and goose calls. It’s hard for him to choose a favorite project, but Corky says he enjoys making things for his church, Trinity Lutheran Church in Tea. The church just received a large bookcase from Corky and looks for- ward to including his creations in their yearly auction, where his pieces “are always popular.” Friends, family, and the church have been the lucky recipients of many of Corky’s wooden wonders, but he says he wants woodworking to remain his hobby rather than a business, so he rarely takes on paid proj- ects. Also, he cautions, hand- crafted wooden furniture takes a lot of time to make, so the end price may seem too high to “compete with Menards.” Corky has found many friends in woodworking. He’s been an active member of Siouxland Woodturners, a Harrisburg-based chapter of the American Association of Woodturners (AAW), for about five years. Woodturning is a form of woodworking in which a lathe is used to keep the wood continually rotating while it is being worked on.

Following the Pledge of Allegiance, new Tea Area School District Interim Superintendent Jennifer Lowery was introduced by Board President Lynn DeYoung. Board member Kristy Baker participated in the meeting via teleconference. After approving the agenda and the consent agenda, the Board moved on to discuss old business, which included long range planning and policy changes. Discussion about the district’s athletic complex is ongoing. Plan D is still a priority. The Board approved proceeding on to the next step, which is having a contract drawn up to authorize Miller Sellers Heroux Architects (MSH) to complete the project. Once the contract is drawn up, the Board and the legal department will review it. Then it would move on to be signed by Superintendent Lowery. Lowery and Activities Director Brent DeBoer are developing an advisory committee for the athletic complex. The committee will include community members, a board member, administration and staff members. There will be three sub-committees: public relations, finance, and design/utility. Community members interested in serving on the committee can contact the Superintendent’s Administrative Assistant, Wendie Morehead, at 498- 2700 x5. Section K and L policy changes discussed at the last meeting were approved. Under New Business, 11 open enrollments were approved and Lowery recommended accepting new enrollment requests for grades 4th-12th only because grades K-2nd are already near capacity. The Board accepted and approved the recommendation.

Old lights from the high school gym were approved by the Board to be listed as surplus. Under Finance Resolution, the board discussed issuing $2.5 million in capital outlay certificates for the purpose of constructing the athletic complex, purchasing land, and paying off the Brian Street infrastructure. Board member John Herr had concerns with approving the full $2.5 million. “I’m just concerned with borrowing an amount that we don’t know that we need for sure….If we do the whole $2.5 million, we know the land and the grants are at a fixed cost, but we don’t know for sure what the tracks going to come in at. Obviously, the longer we can wait to do it until we know an accurate number is what I’m looking for,” stated Herr. Business Manager Kathy Cleveland acknowledged Herr’s point and pointed out that MSH was only providing them with estimated costs for the Athletic Complex. Cleveland said that they could wait on selling the bonds until further discussion with MSH takes place. She could then come to the board with a more accurate estimate of project costs and firm time frame. The Board then approved the Finance resolution for the issuance of capital outlay certificates. Further discussion on these projects will occur at future meetings. Cleveland advised the Board that she has investigated health insurance options for the district and that it is in the district’s best interest to remain with the pool they already belong to.

Lowery said the administration will take greater steps to work with Gors and the cafeteria staff to ensure all food safety regulations are met and that the best service is provided to students. Gors and her staff will receive additional food safety training.
The Board went into Executive Session at 7:31 p.m. When the meeting resumed, the Board approved removing the Librarian position from the Classifi ed Staff and making that position a Support Services position.
The negotiated agreement with the amendment of 3.5% increase for returning staff and 2% increase to the Hiring Schedule was approved. A one-time payment to the Classifi ed, Support Staff Services and Administration employee groups of $500, less payroll taxes, before July 1st, 2012 and a 3.5% increase to wages and salaries for the next school year were approved.
The Board approved a separate contract for Jennifer Lowery for Curriculum Director at $6,500 for the next school year. The next regular school board is scheduled for July 9 at the District Education Center at 7 p.m.
■ SCHOOL BOARD, from page 1
The AAW’s goal is to invite anyone who is interested in woodworking to join and learn more about the craft of woodturn-ing. Members support each other through various projects, help each other learn new techniques and make a positive impact in the community when they can.
The Siouxland Woodturners have donated a tree, complete with wooden ornaments and presents, to the Sioux Falls Festival of Trees each year, beginning in 2009. Corky says his family’s Christmas tree is decorated with more of his wooden ornaments each year. He likes to make angels, snowfl akes, miniature birdhouses and the occasional wishing well. The wishing well ornament requires over 200 pieces of wood. The snowfl akes are fun to make, “but kind of dangerous,” so Corky doesn’t make many of them. People that have received one of his snowflake ornaments admire them so much that they keep them on display year round.
Every woodworker develops favorite woods. Corky thinks oak makes the best furniture, but favors cocobolo, an exotic wood, for duck calls and goose calls. Even ordinary woods like maple can look exotic when spalted. Spalting is caused by fungi and results in unique colors and patterns in wood. “All the different woods have different character, so everything you make from them is unique,” Corky explained.
For people considering a new hobby, especially woodworking, Corky’s advice is simple: “Do it.” The basic tools needed will vary depending on the project, but beginners will want to consider collecting sanding equip-ment, saws and respiratory, eye and hearing protection. Many projects will require a table saw. For inspiration and guidance, visit the Siouxland Woodturners website, which Corky maintains, at siouxlandwoodturners.org.
Corky’s other hobby, winemaking, inspired his current project: a 120 bottle wine rack. His favorite, Black Raspberry Merlot, won a purple ribbon at the Lincoln County Achieve-ment Days last year.
It takes about fi ve to six weeks before the wine is ready to be bottled, but Corky’s years in woodworking have taught him that anything worthwhile takes time. Corky hopes everyone can experience the joy of woodworking and says, “It’s a really enjoyable hobby and you can take pride in the things that you make.”

I thought it would be a good time to step back and bring every-
one up to date as to the articles I write and how things have morphed since I be-gan writing it sev-eral years ago.
The first thing you need to know is that my wife Kay and I ride bikes, kayak, camp, scuba dive, and do almost anything else that involves outdoor activities.
We also enjoy making wine and beer and have become obsessed with making a better product ev-ery time. And if that is not enough to keep us busy we have been learning to play the bagpipes and we belong to the SD Highlanders Pipe & Drum. With all of this in mind, you never know quite what I might write about next.
Having just returned from a week in Salt Lake City where we attended our daughter-in-law’s
retirement from the Air Force (21 years of service), we found our-
selves with some time to do some of the things we love. Sometimes these adventures end up offering some pleasant yet unexpected surprises as did our h ike las t week.
It was 100 de-grees when Kay, Glenda, Rory and I decided to head out for a hike into the mountains and
explore the area. With no idea where we were going and with no real plan, we found a place we could park and headed up the mountain along a narrow rugged path. As we started up I logged our altitude at 4450 feet above sea level with nowhere to go but up.
The trail was meant more for a Billy Goat than a human. It was steep and in an area covered with
loose rock and boulders. It did not take this old guy long to begin to sweat and feel the effects of the increasing altitude.
Steadily we forged on, stop-ping for breaks, for a drink and to catch our breath. After about an hour of climbing, we had reached 6200 feet above sea level and we were feeling it. Not having a clue as to where we were going, we moved on higher and higher. In spots the trail was covered with water and was slippery and even a bit dangerous.
By now I was really feeling the effects of the altitude. When I was almost ready to call it quits we came upon an area where we could hear running water. Now at 7100 feet and the sun still pound-ing down we moved on looking for the source of the sound.
Ahead was yet the steepest part of the trail we had encoun-tered yet. It was very rocky with large boulders to navigate, yet the sound of the running water was getting louder. As we cleared the top of the trail our reward and pleasant surprise was right in front of us. An eight to ten
story waterfall was rushing over the top of the mountain. As we got closer we could feel the cool spray of the falls and it felt as if the temperature had dropped 30 degrees or more. The water was clean and cold and as I used my hands to pour it over my head it seemed to breathe new life into me.
As we sat there admiring the miracle of nature, I once again realized that there is truth to the old adage, “No Pain No Gain”. The long, hot hike had been worth it and once again we had been rewarded for our efforts. It is these wonderful experiences that keep us always looking for new adventures. There is a whole lot of world out there and all we have to do is embrace it. So get out and explore. You never know what lies ahead.
As a parting thought I would like to say a special thanks to Glenda for serving our country the last 21 years. Without her efforts and the sacrifi ces of all of our military men and women I would not be able to pursue my adventures. Thanks to all of you.
Well, we made it back to the land of the living following
our first “real” family camp-ing trip! I was banking on the weekend provid-ing us with some extremely humor-ous material for this column, but amazingly, it was a pretty uneventful trip. I did, how-ever, fi nd at least fi ve items that I in-tend to remember for the next time we try to cuddle up with Mother Nature.
1 . Raccoons love marshmallows and choco-late and graham crackers and Lucky Charms and anything else available to them! We planned to put all of the food items away before turning in for the night, but
retreated to the tents after a long day with a few things still left on the picnic table. Our friend heard a strange noise near his tent
and went to check it out. He came face-to-face with three plump critters that had obviously just enjoyed their own version of S’mores. Hershey’s wrappers were strewn about. The marshmallow bags were empty and very few gra-ham cracker crumbs could even be found!
2. Our kids do WAY more talking in their sleep than we realize! It was,
not surprisingly, hard for them to settle down in the tent on the fi rst night. They were excited at the thought of sleeping in the tent. Brenner broke out with a case of the giggles just as the kids were
supposed to be quieting down. That, of course, set off his sisters, who also giggled until their bel-lies hurt. Finally, they all drifted off to sleep. A few hours later, we were shook from our sleep by Brenner’s infectious laugh-ter… this time in his dreams. On the second night, he quieted his giggles, instead yelling out “Touchdown!” while apparently playing an intense game of foot-ball in his sleep!
3. We enjoyed a fi erce game of kickball with the kids, but when noon-time temperatures crept toward the 90s, the adults opted for the shade. Sweat is generally not becoming, but the bugs didn’t seem to mind. I’m convinced that moist skin does more in the way of attracting bugs than distract-ing them!
4. Even well-kept bathrooms at state parks do not compare to the facilities in a very basic one-star hotels. I realized this as I brushed my teeth with dead bugs
on the counter and, again, when I plucked several daddy-long-legs from the shower stall before the girls would even enter. This, of course, is perfectly acceptable at a state park. At a one-star hotel… not so much!
5. Speaking of bathrooms… it appears we have a little work to do in the way of transitioning the kids between behavior that is acceptable while camping and behavior that is expected upon returning home. While camp-ing, Brenner took full advantage of using the “outdoor” facilities upon the urge. Unfortunately, he didn’t realize that is only accept-able while camping. When we told him to go to the bathroom and get to bed, he informed us that he just went to the bath-room. Where? Outside, by the rocks near the lake, of course. Neighbors: Please accept our sincere apologies! We have now discussed this thoroughly with our son!
To the editor:May 21 through June 3 was
the National Seat Belt Enforce-ment Mobilization Campaign otherwise known as Click It or Ticket. This campaign is an an-nual event where the importance of seat belt usage is strongly encouraged and enforced. Now that the campaign is over for another year, I wanted to remind you of the importance of wearing your seat belt and encourage you to wear it every trip, every time.
Each year hundreds of people die and thousands others are injured in traffi c crashes due to people not wearing seat belts. A seat belt citation costs $25 in South Dakota, but wearing a seat belt can save you thousands of dollars in medical expenses if you were to be involved in a motor vehicle crash; but more importantly, it can save your life.
There are people who choose not to wear a seat belt because they have lost a loved one in a crash that was wearing a seat belt. There are cases in which people die with their seat belt on. Some crashes are so horrifi c that no matter how much occupant protection you have, your body will not be able to withstand the amount of force involved in a motor vehicle crash.
To fi gure out just how much force is put on your body during a crash, take your body weight
and multiply it by the speed at which your vehicle is travel-ing. For example, if you weigh 170 pounds and are traveling 75 MPH that equates to 12,750 pounds of force exerted on your body. If you don’t wear a seat belt your body exerts that much force on whatever it hits, whether that be the dash, other occupants, the windshield, or the ground. In a motor vehicle crash there are actually three collisions that occur. The fi rst collision is the vehicle collision. The second collision is the occupant collision with either the seat belt or dash or some other object. The third collision is the collision of the internal organs with the body. So, even if you do have a seat belt on, there is still going to be a colli-sion, but the amount of force is going to be greatly reduced, thus lowering your chances of being seriously injured.
As you travel this summer please take an extra second to put your seat belt on. It could mean the difference between life and death. Your spouse, children, and friends need you. The choice is yours.

Letter to the editor…
Seat belts save lives
“Rhubarb is enjoying a renaissance,” says Jan Sanderson, the rhu-barb king of Brookings
County. He runs Sanderson Gar-dens, a fruit and vegetable oasis bordered by corn and soybean fi elds. He can hardly keep up with de-mand, espe-cially from local win-eries. Rhu-barb’s tart flavor and rich color-ing make it a popular in-gredient.
The Eng-lish used the vegetable as a food about 200 years ago, calling it pie plant. But for thousands of years before that, Chinese would grind rhubarb root as medicine, most commonly as a laxative, di-uretic, astringent and detoxifi er.
The name rhubarb comes from the ancient Romans because the plant was used by barbarians near the Rha River. The word is a combination of the words rha (an ancient name for the Volga River in Russia) and the Greek word barbarus meaning barbarians.
Sanderson is always searching for new rhubarb to transplant, and he takes a notebook with him to record the histories of each plant. “If you could follow their history far back enough,” Sand-erson says, “you would fi nd all of our rhubarb came from England or the Nordic countries.”
Rhubarb is a strong plant, says Sanderson. Once it takes root, it keeps getting bigger and bigger. A deep root system helped plants survive the Great Depression, and the toxic leaves protect against chewing insects. Sanderson has even made an or-ganic insecticide from the leaves.
Sanderson began his rhubarb crop over 30 years ago with two rows of Valentine and Canada Red varieties from his parents’ garden. He advertised in local papers that he would trim or remove plants for people, and as he traveled from garden to garden he kept species that he liked. Through the years he’s developed a variety he calls
Sanderson Red. At one time he had eight acres devoted to the tart vegetable.
Sanderson started growing produce in 1977 on the family farm four miles east of Brookings along Highway 13. The season
kicks off each spring with the sprouting o f rhubarb and s t r aw-berries. Next come sweet corn, rasp-berries and p u m p k i n s . B a r b a r i a n s are few and far between in Brookings County, but
there are lots of people there who appreciate the summer bounty of Sanderson Gardens.
Rhubarb Custard PieWhen Sanderson was a boy
growing up near Sisseton, he and his seven siblings would eat rhubarb stalks raw, dipped in sugar. Maybe rhubarb made them strong, because Sanderson and his six brothers were wrestlers in high school, and his sister was a wrestling cheerleader. Sanderson earned three consecutive state titles for Brookings High School in 1969 and 1970, and went on to become a Big Ten Wrestling champ at the University of Iowa. Sanderson was known for knit-ting scarves while waiting on the bench.
Although the raw rhubarb was a treat, Sanderson’s all-time favorite recipe is from his ex-wife, Liz. He recommends eating it hot with vanilla ice cream.
Mix 1 1/2 cups sugar, 1/4 cup fl our (Liz uses whole wheat) 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg and dash salt. Add 3 beaten eggs; beat smooth. Stir in 4 cups of rhubarb, cut in 1-inch slices.
Prepare pastry for 9-inch lat-tice-top pie. Line 9-inch pie plate with pastry. Fill with rhubarb mix-ture. Adjust lattice top; seal. Bake at 375 degrees for 50 minutes.

A Rhubarb King
With the recent di-agnosis of another friend with breast
cancer I felt very obligated to have this article run in the paper again. I hope after you read the title that in this article I am not in any way saying that by eating right you can cure cancer. What I am saying is that evidence, both research and anecdot-ally, have show posi-tive effects by eating certain things, cutting out certain foods, and supplementing with specifi c supplements. Recently a friend of mine found out a member of his family was diagnosed with stage 3 lymphoma, so I am going to go through a few things that can help your body fi ght cancer.
First off, all of us have free radicals circulating in our body. Free radicals are created as by-products of pretty much every process in the body, including eating and breathing. If we are healthy and our immune sys-tem is functioning correctly, it takes care of these free radicals through a process called apop-tosis. Apoptosis is programmed cell death which eliminates these harmful cells. Once that ability of apoptosis is altered, that is when we are more susceptible to developing cancer because these cells that are supposed to die and
be eliminated, don’t.Well what are some things
that make us susceptible? Be-yond smoking, one of the highest risk factors for cancer is obesity.
Losing excess weight can help to reduce our risk for cancer. The reason is that people with ex-tra fat, also have higher levels of circulating estro-gen and insulin in their bodies, which have been associated with tumor growth. Another reason that obesity can
increase risks for cancer is that with extra fat, comes extra in-fl ammation throughout our bod-ies. Excess fat secretes chemicals called cytokines which causes more infl ammation. Since there is that extra infl ammation, some thoughts are that the immune system is spending so much time fi ghting this systemic infl amma-tion that it now can’t perform apoptosis like it should, thus allowing tumor growth.
So what types of foods out there may increase tumor growth? Some research has shown that red meat can. A 2006 study found that women who ate 1.5 servings of red meat per day double the risk of the hormone receptor for breast cancer. The comment I will
make about red meat is that this study didn’t state whether they were fed grass fed red meat, so that may be something to look at. The next thing to look at is alcohol intake. Breast cancer in particular responds to alcohol in a negative way because excess alcohol can raise estrogen levels. Sugars, in all forms, don’t have a clear cut link to cancer, but increased sugar intake can lead to weight gain, which increases cancer risk. Also there is some research showing support that cutting sugars out of your diet can slow tumor growth because cancer cells love sugars. Finally, there has been some association with dairy intake and cancer. Dairy intake beyond our days of being breast fed can lead to problems and infl ammation because we don’t digest it well. Some studies have shown milk association with cancers such as prostate, breast, bladder, as well as lymphoma.
Since we have taken a look at foods that may help cancer fl our-ish, let’s take a look at foods that can help to fi ght cancer. Berries are great, but the darker the berry the better. Berries contain a lot of anti-infl ammatory, antioxidants, and anti-cancer compounds. Broccoli has over 300 studies that show its efficacy against cancer. Green tea has chemicals in it that help to support apopto-sis. Mushrooms have also been used in some countries like Japan for treatment. One study showed
that women who ate 10 grams of mushrooms each day were 64% less likely to develop cancer.
Finally, let’s take a look at some supplements that may help to fi ght cancer. One of the best available is called turmeric. Turmeric has been shown to help regulate a compound called NF-kB which helps to maintain a healthy immune system and inhibit cancer. Curcumin, a large component of turmeric, has also been shown to increase glutathione levels, which is a very strong antioxidant. Low levels of vitamin D have been associated with increased risk of cancer as well as increased tumor growth, so supplementing with levels over 5000-10000 IU have been shown to be effective. Fish oils have also been shown to help fi ght cancers. Also there is resveratrol, a component in red wine, which has shown to help allow for DNA repair following damage. Finally there is pycno-genol, from pine bark extract also noligo-proanthocyanidins, which can have antioxidant properties which can help to fi ght cancer.
As you can see, there are a myriad of things that you can do to prevent and fi ght cancer. By eating right, exercising, and keeping your weight down, you can greatly reduce your risks.

TACF to offer concessions during Pedal Pull
The Pollyanna’s Guys and Gals 4-H Club held their regular monthly meeting on May 21 at the Minnehaha County Exten-sion offi ce. Vice President Em-ily Kluin opened the meeting with the fl ag and 4-H pledges. Members answered roll call by naming one of their pet peeves. Treasurer Christina Waller gave the treasurer’s report. Librarian Elisabeth Kluin reported on her family’s visit to the Horton’s farm where they rode antique tractors and learned about these tractors. She said the Horton family has invited the club to visit the farm and ride their tractors.
There was no old business. New business began with the leader explaining that entry of exhibits for Achievement Days would be different this year. All entries will need to be pre-registered at the Extension Offi ce by July 15. Registration forms will be available soon. Members were also reminded that the second judging school would be held on June 5 and 6. The 4-H Jr. Leaders purchased 4-H promotional signs to be
posted along county highways leading into Minnehaha County. The club voted to pay half the cost of a sign. Study guides were given to those members plan-ning to participate in Fashion Revue. The leader advised that the County’s 4-H Recognition Event will be on November 18 in Dell Rapids.
One of the club’s community service projects in May will be selling poppies over Memorial Day weekend for a fundraiser for the VFW. The members were also given a package of garden seeds, which was donated by Burpee Company. The mem-bers are to either give the seeds to a military family, or plant the garden seeds and share the produce with a military family. Several members showed their completed project challenge can-vas painting. This was followed by members exchanging plants that they had brought.

I know you are going to say, “What is the matter with that crazy woman, talking about Achievement Days already? Doesn’t she know we have un-til July to start worrying about that?” Well, sorry, but I happen to know how time gets away from the best of us and I also know it is well not to wait until the last minute.
I am not going to go into entries and dates and direc-tions just yet, but I would like to encourage participation in Open Class in Lincoln County. The books are in your local bank and the dates are July 30 to Aug. 2. There are many op-portunities for you to enter your best efforts in baking, sew-ing, canning, gardening, crops and arts and crafts. This is an excellent opportunity for you to make the Lincoln County Achievement Days a bigger success and encourage all the young people that work so hard on their projects for the fair.
I just read about someone that was trying their hand at wine making, I thought it might be well to invite others to think along this same line. As you know, the Lincoln County Open Class added a Lot under Food Preservation for wine making. Lot 1111 is ‘Wine Bottle, (must specify dry or sweet, also be sure the bottle does not identify you in any way either by name or town.) Please include the year the wine was bottled. In the last two years we have had some excellent wines entered. But we would really like to see more entries as we suspect there are quite a number of people that have tried this art of food preservation.
So as you are planning a fun summer of all kinds of activi-ties and projects, please con-sider bringing in some of your best efforts to Canton and enter them in the Lincoln County Open Class part of the Lincoln County Achievement Days beginning on July 30. See you at the fair.

MidAmerican Energy Company says knowledge is power when natural gas safety is involved. Whether your home uses gas or not, you may have buried pipes running under your property, safely transporting natural gas to nearby homes and businesses.
Transporting natural gas through pipelines and distribution systems is a safe and reliable means of delivering natural gas to customers, but on rare occasions gas leaks may develop. All such leaks require your immediate attention to avoid potential fires resulting in property damage or injury. If you notice the distinctive odor of natural gas and/or hear it leaking:
1. Don’t use your phone or turn on appliances.
2. Vacate the building or area immediately.
3. Call MidAmerican Energy at 800-595-5325 from a safe distance.
4. Do not return until the leak has been repaired and MidAmerican Energy has given you the all-clear.

GONE GIRL On a warm summer morning
in North Carthage, Missouri, it is Nick and Amy Dunne’s fi fth wedding anniversary. Presents are being wrapped and reser-vations are being made when Nick’s clever and beautiful wife disappears from their rented McMansion on the Mississippi River. Husband-of-the-Year Nick isn’t doing himself any favors with cringe-worthy daydreams about the slope and shape of his wife’s head, but passages from Amy’s diary reveal the alpha-girl perfectionist could have put anyone dangerously on edge. Under mounting pressure from the police and the media—as well as Amy’s fiercely doting parents—the town golden boy parades an endless series of lies, deceits, and inappropriate behavior. Nick is oddly evasive, and he’s defi nitely bitter—but is he really a killer?
As the cops close in, every couple in town is soon wondering how well they know the one that they love. With his twin sister, Margo, at his side, Nick stands by his innocence. Trouble is, if Nick didn’t do it, where is that beautiful wife? And what was in that silvery gift box hidden in the back of her bedroom closet?Release Date: June 5, 2012Author: Gillian Flynn

BY ERICA GASPARTEA WEEKLY REPORTER
T he Vow is based on a real-life couple that survived the tragedy
of memory loss caused by a car accident shortly after they were married. Channing Tatum plays the heart broken husband and Rachel McAdams plays his memory-challenged wife. Based on her past roles in fi lms adapted from Nicholas Sparks novels, I thought this movie deserved a chance.
About a half hour in, I had lost hope that The Vow was ever going to get good and I knew it wouldn’t be a movie I would watch again, if I even made it through the fi rst viewing. But, I have a hard time giving up on a movie once I start it, so I watched it. And watched it. And
continued to have a tiny fl icker of hope that the end would be better written than the rest of the movie had been.
While Tatum and McAdams are good actors in their own right, they do not belong to-gether on screen. The chemistry just wasn’t there. I was itching for The Notebook the entire time I was watching The Vow. I guess my expectations were just too high.
This movie did have a power-ful opening scene (spoiler alert): a couple in love leaving the movie theater, he scrapes ice and snow off the car while she urges him to hurry because of the cold, then they are at a stop sign, at a deserted intersection. They share a romantic moment. BAM! A runaway truck rear ends their tiny car and sends them crashing into a telephone pole, where the
wife is catapulted out through the windshield. This scene makes it very reasonable to as-sume that McAdams’ character will have a long recovery ahead of her. But the juiciness ends there.
Try as he might, Tatum’s character wastefully spends most of the movie trying to help his wife restore her memory. But she is too busy chasing an ex-fi ancé and reconnect-ing with a family she shut out years earlier. After what seems like hours of meaningless runaround, the movie comes to an abrupt end. The couple shows the faintest of signs of reconnection when they bump into each other outside a
closed coffee shop and decide to go to a new restaurant together. That’s it? Sigh. I’ll still watch Rachel McAdams if she is cast in another romantic comedy. She’s got sparkle; it just wasn’t shining in this role.

NOTICE OF HEARING FOR LEASE OF COUNTY PROPERTY
Pursuant to SDCL 7-18-32, No-tice is hereby given that the Lincoln County Board of Commissioners will hold a public hearing on its adop-tion of a resolution of intent to lease county-owned property to a private person for a term exceeding one hun-dred twenty days and for an amount exceeding fi ve hundred dollars an-nual value. The hearing is open to all interested parties. The county-owned property is known as Lease Site P-1, at the Marv Skie/Lincoln County Airport. The proposed Les-see is Blake Curd/Mantafl ight LLC. Following the hearing, the County Board may proceed to authorize the lease upon the terms and conditions it determines. The public hearing will be held on June 26, 2012, at 9:15 a.m., in the County Commissioners’ Meeting Room, 104 N. Main Street, Canton, South Dakota.
Paula FeuchtLincoln County Auditor
Published once at the approxi-mate cost of $9.75.
The public hearing will be June 25 at 9:15 a.m. The Com-mission approved the motion to closeout the overlay project on the Marv Skie Airport.
The Commission approved a malt beverage and wine license for YWCA of Sioux Falls. The li-cense was June 7 for a fundraiser, but it was able to be approved.
Commissioner Jim Schmidt received an invitation to do a tour of Blood Run. The state has acquired property and is in the process of raising additional funds to acquire more land. “I think it would be good on June 19 to go down there and take a tour. They are going to ask Lincoln County to make an investment in this area. The City of Bran-don has put up $100,000 to the project. I still think it would be a good idea to call him and get a tour of the facility.”
The Commission agreed and set a tour date to look over the location.
According to Schmidt, the SECOG District represents 32% of the state’s population. The poverty level in this area is $22,350 for a family of four. The SECOG District has 1.4% of children receiving assistance for needy families.
Statewide there are 72.5 deaths per 100,000, but in the SECOG District, the percentage
is 36.4. The rate in 2004-08 was 50%.
The after-prom parties, Sher-iff’s departments and other agen-cies have helped keep the public safe, according to Schmidt.
The County discussed the refund of 2009 and 2010 taxes on the Soukup property.
Don Burma was present to discuss the matter. Because the owners do not have to appear be-fore the equalization, the County can refund the taxes because the deadline is within the four years ascribed by law.
The Commission approved the refund of the taxes pad of $2,070.59 and $2,048.96 for the Carl and Marietta Soukup house moved off in 2008.
Planning and Zoning Depart-ment Head Paul Aslesen was present to talk about the on-site wastewater systems ordinance.
The objective was to put a plan in place to monitor new in-stallations and repair of systems. The repair of the systems are put into the hands of the installers so they can have an archive of the property. “In the future, when new landowners come in, we can tell them when the property was updated.”
I think we have an equitable system put together that works with the installers and landown-ers,” said Aslesen.
The County believes they are
being proactive rather than reac-tive with the ordinance.
The Commission approved the new wastewater treatment ordinance.
The Commission approved out of county travel for Shelly Britt, Janice DeBuhr, Heidi Benson and Donna Plucker for Dept. of Revenue Sales Ration Workshop June 27.
The Good Samaritan Soci-ety of Sioux Falls, notifi ed the County they are holding a golf tournament at Spring Creek Golf Course, at which a raffl e will be held. They are required by law to notify the County, but action is not required.
The amount the County paid over time was substantial on a medical case brought before the Commission. The lien is substan-tial, according to Nadolski. The case of the lien compromise is due to medical costs of a female resident of the County, who has passed away. The lien is ap-proximately $65,000 and was upheld by the Commission and the appeal for a lien compromise was denied by the Commission.
The lien is necessary because the County is obligated to pay the hospitals for indigent cases, but the parties responsible are still required to pay the amount, or in this case, appeal to the county for leniency. It is an obligation, said Nadolski.
