The race started at noon on Aug. 13 withriders crossing the rolling hills and plains ofwestern South Dakota. As darknessdescended, the race took on a whole newfeeling. Skunks, deer, grain and livestocktrucks and lots of prairie gave an eery feel-ing to the race. Riders were far apart at thattime. Both Petersons rode all night and fin-ished at the Minnesota border on August 14.
The previous record for the Gut Check is22 hours and 45 minutes. Eric finished sec-ond in 23 hours and 39 minutes. Lynn fin-ished in 34 hours and 43 minutes. Paul andJean Peterson was Eric’s support team andLynn s wife Shelly was his support. The
support teams supplied water and food tothe bikers and tried to stay awake through-out the night. Lynn was caught in a thunder-
storm near Gettysburg and had a flat tirenear Watertown. All were happy to see theMinnesota border sign!

Officer Jake Lends A Helping HandOfficer Jake Zajic lends a
helping hand in Kindergarten atLincoln Elementary School. Hehelped Mrs. Wagner’s kinder-garten students paint a “ShapeForest” using fall colors. Thechildren named shapes,described shapes and usedshape sponges to paint fallleaves onto shape trees. A big“Thank You” to Officer Jake forhelping out. We had fun!
Officer Jake also helps outwith our 5th grade DARE pro-gram, serving lunch over thenoon hour, and teaching kinder-garten students about strangersafety. He is very hands-on withchildren. He role-plays certainsituations and asks specificquestions to help childrenunderstand the importance ofstranger safety.
Teaching children specific
street-savvy skills may be thebest way to protect them fromstrangers. Here are some keythings we learned aboutstranger safety:
• A stranger is anyone youdon’t know.
• Don’t talk to or get into acar with strangers.
• Don’t accept candy ormoney from strangers.
• Never let a stranger intoyour house.
• If a stranger approachesyou and makes you feel uncom-fortable run away and tell some-one you know.
• Sometimes it’s OK to talk tostrangers if you need help.Certain strangers, like policeofficers, firemen and storeclerks, are safe and will helpyou.
