Faith City Council discusses ice house, street project and more
By Loretta Passolt
The Faith City Council agenda for their September 4th meeting included the street project at the fairgrounds, the ice house and insurance quotes. Council opened bids for the fairgrounds street project at 7:15 and rejected the only bid received. Anderson Construction of Pierre submitted a bid in the amount of $30,872.75, which was much higher than expected. Members discussed other ways this problem could be corrected, but nothing definite was decided. Karen Butler presented members with a quote for the Citys property/liabilty insurance. They have two policies, one for the city and a fire package for the fire department/ambulance. Karen went over the information with members and they will review it and make their decision at their next meeting. At 7:30 bids were opened for the various construction projects. One bid was received, Hausauer of Lemmon for $1409 for gutter and downspouts on the library. Council approved the bid. One bid was also received for power washing and staining the deck at the museum, but the individual had a problem with the timeline; he didnt have time to get it done before their deadline. Riley thought it might be better to wait until spring to do the work, but the consensus of the Council was that it was better to get it protected before the cold weather. Council approved changing the deadline to October 30th. Debbie explained that the Golden West agreement for 2014 needed to be approved. She said there were a few changes in it but nothing critical. Golden West handles all the switching for the City. Debbie explained the airport pavement and striping project to Council. If they get it done this year it will only cost them 2% of the project cost, or around $9,000. Debbie said they could use their fuel tax which they havent used in a long time. Council approved the project. Justin Inghram came before Council to asked about getting electricity to his building. Mayor Haines said he and Donn had visited about it earlier in the day and Donn will get to it this week yet or next week. Haines explained to Inghram that it would cost him about $5,000, possibly less, for moving the power pole, trenching, etc. Reed Henschel, on behalf of the Museum Board, explained work that needs to be done on the ice house. There are several things that need attention, but the first item is to get the electricity connected. He said that Sandgren from Bison was planning to do it yet this week. They would also like to have a new front door and a deck. It will also require a vintage lock. The windows and doors need winterizing, and the siding is really dry and cracking. He thought maybe they could just caulk those areas. Inghram wondered if the really bad areas should be resided. Debbie said the City received $9,000 from the Deadwood Historical grant and they have used about $1400 of it. She said the grant said items included in the coverage was to repaint the siding. They will have to make specs for these projects and Debbie will call for quotes for the next meeting. Debbie visited with Angel Kennedy about the craft fair and Angel would do the work for $250. The information center staff did it before but with it closed now there is no one to take care of it. She said there has been some interest from vendors. Council approved paying Angel to handle the fair. Debbie said they didnt need a resolution for accepting the airport grant, just a motion. The grant is for $46,130 to update equipment. Council accepted the grant. The City is in need of a new meter reader. The one they have cannot be repaired, and they need to have a handheld unit, and software. The unit will run around $4580 and the software $1900. Council approved the purchase of these items. Debra Wicks, on behalf of daughter Jackie, read a statement concerning the charges for utilities. They felt the City was not being fair in making her responsible for the utilities instead of her renter. Jackie thought when she left the utilities would be disonnected and it would be put in the renters name. It was explained that it has been the City policy for years to bill the owner. Members said she could, and should, charge any renter a deposit, in case of any forfeiture of payment to the City. Jim Holloway said any of their renters pay utilities but they are still responsible. She can get her refund back, but her name, along with the renters, will stay on the statement as the owner/responsible person. The budget was the next topic of discussion. Mayor Haines asked Holloway at this time if he knew of any upcoming increase in the cost of water from Tri County Water. Jim said at this time he didnt know of any, but it all depends on what funding comes down from D.C. He said they have been pumping water at max for the past 30 days. Tri County has Eagle Butte and Dupree on water restriction, but havent passed it on to Faith. It was noted that the Corps of Engineers was wanting to charge for water from Lake Oahe, but he said that wouldnt affect us. Debbie wanted some clarification on some budget items. The library is asking for an additional $5,000 to update 6 older computers, and the CAT would like $2500 to help with maintenance and repairs to doors and windows. The City gives the library $20,000 which is used for salaries, etc. The City is trying to make cuts, and didnt feel these two requests were necessary. Spencer said the fire department met the other night and they will be asking for funds. Haines said they had found another fire truck. Debbie said they have outlay for the ambulance but Cindy hasnt Continued on page 4

Andrew M. Fischbach
enrolled in the Army National Guard. In early 1941, as he began his final classes before graduation, the National Guard was called to active duty and he was sent to Camp Claiborne, La., for training. At a troop dance in the spring of 1941 he met Yvette Labarre of New Orleans. Their courtship, mostly through daily letters, led to marriage at Chanute Field, Ill., on Aug. 29, 1942. The marriage lasted 61 years until her death in 2004. Immediately after their wedding, they were stationed in Great Falls, Mont., where sons Michael and David were born, then in Spokane, Wash., before he was shipped overseas to combat duty in Okinawa, Japan, in early 1945. He returned stateside that Christmas, after World War II had ended. His father had had a heart attack that winter. An only son, Andy came home to Faith to help his father "temporarily" on the cattle ranch before resuming his engineering studies. But his and Yvette's family grew, and he never left ranching. A greatly expanded Fischbach Ranch, in which sons David and Noel became co-owners, marked its 100th year recently. Andy used his engineering training on ranch and civic building projects, including his two homes, the Faith Memorial Hospital, the Faith rodeo grandstand, a new gymnasium for Faith High School in the 1960s and an upgraded municipal airport in the 1980s. He became a co-owner of Faith Lumber Co. in 1961, retaining part ownership until his death. He was elected to the Faith City Council and the Faith School Board and was active in the Faith Hospital Association, the Faith Chamber of Commerce, and being dedicated to education, the Associated School Boards of South Dakota, the South Dakota Community Foundation, the Faith Stock Show Association, the Knights of Columbus and the St. Joseph Catholic Church parish council. For decades he mimeographed the weekly church bulletin. In 1998 he received an honorary bachelor's degree from South Dakota State University, where his family was named family of the year a few years before. He moved to the Victorian Manor in Rapid City in early 2009 and had been in declining health for some time. He is survived by sons Michael (Ann) of Overland Park, Kan.; David (Eldora) and Noel (Julie) of Faith; Mark (Rose) of Seattle, Wash.; Dan (Marge) of Columbia, Mo.; Bob of Omaha, Neb.; and Andre (Mary Ann) of Clark's Summit, Pa.; daughters, Yvette Kottman of Lewes, Del.; Kathy Schuchhardt (David) of Faith; and Julie (Leo) Waner of Waunakee, Wis.; a sister, Maria (Walter) Schlomer of Glenham, S.D.; 25 grandchildren, 33 great-grandchildren; and numerous nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his wife, Yvette. The family asks that, in lieu of flowers, memorial contributions be made to the Faith Senior Citizens Center, the Faith Schools Fund or St. Joseph Catholic Church.
Mass of Christian Burial for Andrew M. Fischbach, age 92, of Faith, SD was held at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, September 8, 2012. Fr. Jim Hoerter and Fr. Mike Mulloy officiated with burial in the St. Josephs Cemetery west of Faith, SD. Visitation was held Friday, September 7, 2012 from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. at the Faith Area Memorial Chapel in Faith. A Rosary and Christian Wake Service followed at 7:00 p.m. at St. Josephs Catholic Church in Faith. He was a rancher and an engineer, a World War II veteran and an active contributor to the civic affairs of his hometown and state. Most of all, he was father to a large and boisterous brood of 10 children, who gave him 25 grandchildren and, so far, 33 greatgrandchildren. Andy Fischbach, a plain-spoken cowboy from Faith, S.D., died Tuesday morning at a nursing home in New Underwood, S.D., of complications from aspiration pneumonia. He was 92. The past three years he had been in assisted living in Rapid City, S.D. Andrew Michael Fischbach was born June 15, 1920, to Michael and Theresa Fischbach in their ranch home on Red Scaffold Creek, five miles southwest of Faith. Mike was a 1910 homesteader. Andrew and his sister, Maria, attended Edson country school and both graduated from Faith High School in 1937. He attended the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology in Rapid City for one year before enrolling in civil engineering at South Dakota State College in 1938. There he
South Dakota Farmers Union members are in Washington, D.C., this week to talk to members of Congress. The biggest issue on the agenda, push for the passage of a new five-year farm bill. On day one of the National Farmers Union's annual Fly-In, members heard from Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack who spoke to the group at the headquarters of the United State Department of Agriculture. Vilsack called on Congress to pass a farm bill, and pass it now. There is no more important piece of legislation that any member of Congress can work on for rural America, for farmers and producers and ranchers than passage of the farm bill this month, Vilsack told the group. The current farm bill, passed in 2008, expires on Sept. 30 of this year. If there is no farm bill passed, farm programs will revert back to 1933 levels. Vilsack pointed to history after talking about how some critics say that it will be difficult to pass a farm bill in the eight working days Congress will be in session this September. He said in 1862, President Lincoln and Congress passed some of the most influential laws affecting agriculture in history. USDA established, the Morrell Act and land grant universities , the intercontinental railroad system, the Homestead Act, all one Congress, all one year, in the middle of the Civil War. Please, in 2012, do not tell me that it should be as difficult in eight working days, that it should be as difficult to pass a farm bill, thats just baloney. Vilsack told Farmers Union members that it's up to them to
convince lawmakers that they need to pass a farm bill. You have a voice. You have an opportunity and I think you have a responsibility. Stand up for rural America. You dont buy this notion that theres not enough time. You can always find time for your priorities. Thats the message. If it doesnt get done its not a priority, Vilsack said, and called on Congress to bring the farm bill to the House floor for a vote. "Put a bill up, put it up! Youre telling me you cant get 218 votes? Put it up. Because if it doesnt get put up the risk you run is not having certainty in the countryside as you all make decisions for next year. We dont know for certain that well have any kind of disaster assistance for the poor livestock guys and the dairy guys and the crop producers who are struggling. And we wont be able to continue this extraordinary momentum thats built in rural America that for the first time in a long, long time weve got a shot at decent incomes, and more opportunities, and expanded opportunities for young people to get involved in farming, expand rural populations to create jobs in rural communities and bring rural America back. During the fly-in, Farmers Union members will also join hundreds of other farmers, legislative representatives and agricultural leaders for the Farm Bill Now! rally, to be held on U.S. Capitol grounds Sept. 12. The event is aimed to send a strong message to Congress to pass a new, comprehensive, five-year farm bill before current farm programs expire at the end of September. Fly-in participants will hear from other USDA officials and White House officials, and visit every member of Congress during the three-day event.

Regretfully, my last day working in the Faith Clinic was August 31, 2012. I have taken a new position at the Rapid City Regional Hospital. This decision was fully due to the four hour commute. Frequently, I have told people that if this job, patients and staff were in Rapid City I would be in hog heaven. I wish to thank you for trusting me in your care and the care of your loved ones. Truly I have enjoyed my time in Faith.

Another week of dry weather, prairie fires and looking to the sky for clouds without lightning. Life goes on with weaning, selling calves, preg checking and culling stock and bringing in any hay you have. Everyone is debating the issue of hard winter versus open winter. My dad said, The old timers told him if the draws were green and grazed off it would be a tough winter, if they cured up like the rest of the grass and werent grazed hard it would be open. That goes back to what many of us think, no hay equals a tough winter. Guess well see, wont we. This week Faith was the site of funeral services of two people whom I always thought of as pillars of the community. Andrew Fishbach and Alice Thomas were the kind of people who made Faith a good town and a place we are proud to call our hometown. Each of these people gave of their time and money to see that this
town became a better place. They knew who was new to town, who had been here for years and who needed some help. They followed the school sports teams and supported the activities taking place in and out of town. These people were wonderful role models for all who knew them. Thank you to their families for allowing us to share these good folks. On the XM radio show from Willies I heard a nice quote tonight. God has your soul, I have your memories. How very true and comforting. There will be a wedding shower for Max Thompson and Katrina Fulton September 16 at the Marcus Church basement. It will begin at 2:00 P.M. Everyone is invited. There was a good attendance at the Saturday night wedding shower for Riley Timmons and Marissa Mix. The weather was great and folks were ready to visit and enjoy a good potluck meal. The little kids had a great time running around outside the White Owl Hall until two of them got in the cactus. Congratulations to Riley and Marissa. Saturday was the auction for Jesse and Carolyn Moreland.
