And now, for the conclusion of 2016 -- the year in review,
con-tinued from last week’s edition of the PCNews.
MayFolks took advantage of the
beautiful weather last week to get lots of things done around
Potter County. On Wednesday, May 4, the weather was so calm that
the flags at the court house lawn hung straight down, and it was a
chance for Andrew West-phal of RDP Construction to take advantage
of the calm morning and do one last sweep of the space where the
new Civil War monu-ment will be located.
Father Jerry Kopel, priest at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in
Gettysburg, blessed the new CT scanner at the Avera Gettysburg
Hospital on Monday, May 9. An open house was held at the hos-pital
for the public to learn more about the cutting-edge 64-slice
scanner that serves as a fast diagnostic tool for the patients in
the area.
After a rain delay on Monday, a resurfacing project on US 212
got underway on May 10. The South Dakota Department of
Transportation reports that the road from Gettysburg east to
Lebanon in Potter County will be under construction, milling the
top two inches of the surface and then reworking the material in
place to use as a base for the asphalt surfacing. The overall
completion date for the project is Oct. 28.
When the call comes in for the Gettysburg ambulance crew, there
are now six new emer-gency medical technicians, bet-ter known by
the initials EMTs, ready to respond. Michael Fis-cher, Amanda
Hepper, Lynell Jessen, Tember Johnson, Rachel Wager, and Haley
Logan all successfully completed the 180 hours of EMT training
which allows them to serve in one of the most important roles in
the community.
As part of the annual Arbor Day presentation made through the
Potter County Conservation District, students in Mrs. Jamie
Cronin’s fourth grade class were each given a tree and a lesson in
why trees are important. The county conservation district, in
conjunction with the South Da-kota Department of Agriculture,
visited with students at Gettys-burg Elementary on Wednesday, May
4.
The Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics South Dakota
stopped by the Get-tysburg Elementary School on Tuesday to carry

event was coordinated locally by Julie Williams, who serves on the
board for Special Olympics South Dakota.

tioned by the NHRA.Former Gettysburg dentist

On Monday, May 30, a Memori-al Day program sponsored by the
Ralph Leui Post 135 American Legion and the Winston Toomey Post
8530 Veterans of Foreign Wars will be held to honor those who have
died in service to our country along with active duty military and
veterans. Master Sergeant Jennifer Goebel Butler will be the
speaker.
The Brown sisters all chopped off their ponytails this week to
donate to Pantene Beauti-ful Lengths. This is Madison and Kennedy’s
second donation and Reagan’s fourth. Ponytails at least eight
inches long are donated to help make wigs for women who have lost
their hair while battling cancer. The girls are the daughters of
Karen and Corey Brown of Gettysburg, and they got their haircuts by
Kelsey Fischer at VIBE Salon. Reagan and Madison each donated 10
inches, and Kennedy cut off 9 inches.
Bert Van Essen and Dick Roue saluted the flag during the
play-ing of “Taps” at the Potter County Veterans Monument on Monday
morning. Van Essen and Roue were part of the dedication of a Civil
War soldier statue at the monument site. The beautiful Avenue of
Flags lined the court-house lawn, and a large crowd came out for
the Memorial Day program. The flag flown at half mast on the big
flag pole at the courthouse is traditionally that of the most
recently deceased veteran. On Memorial Day, the flag flown draped
the casket of Violet Schekel, who served in WWII and died on March
9 of this year.
Philip Nagel presented outgo-ing Gettysburg Rotary president Tim
Hagedorn with a commemo-rative plaque in recognition of his year of
service. Nagel took over the duties as club president dur-ing the
May 26 meeting.
Potter County was represented by 12 girls and six boys
compet-ing in the 2016 State Track Meet. Potter County had girls
entered in 16 of the 19 events and placed in several of them. The
boys placed in most of the events they were entered in. A long-time
school record was broken, with Grace Crook setting a new GHS record
for the 200 meter at 26.4 seconds. It shaved a little time off the
1985 record set by Belinda
Boyer at 26.6. Autumn Wieseler also tied the school record for
the 300 meter hurdles set by Haley Logan in 2010. The state meet
was held in Sioux Falls on May 27-28.
JuneIt’s been more than two de-
cades since the topic of zoning was seriously discussed, but it
was brought up for consideration during the June 6 meeting of the
Gettysburg city council. Kara Williams appeared on behalf of the
Gettysburg Whitlock Bay Development board saying her board has been
approached by residents who feel it is time for
the town to consider zoning. She said this is mainly due to the
large number of sheds that are being built in residential areas and
the development corporation wanted to “take the temperature of the
room” and see if zoning is something the council feels the
development corporation should pursue.
Visitors to East Whitlock Rec-reation Area got an up-close look
at what the South Dakota National Guard can do. The state’s 200th
Multi-Role Bridge Company (MRBC) conducted bridging exercises June
17, 18, and 19 at East Whitlock west of
Gettysburg. On Saturday visi-tors joined the 200th Engineer
Company for Dogs on the River with free hot dogs, burgers, and
beverages along with boat rides, raft rides, and equipment
dem-onstrations.
