“We are here to provide soccer — when it's right for your family,” stated Tempo Soccer Club President Rob Hoffman. A local soccer enthusiast, Hoffman formed the club just last winter. Hoffman wanted to ensure that local children had an oppor-tunity to participate in both competitive and developmental soccer programs, at an affordable rate.

Hoffman gathered a board of nine to draft a philosophy and mission statement. The mission statement is concise.

“It is the mission of Tempo Soccer Club to provide the opportunity to play soccer in a system that fosters growth at all levels. We shall conduct this in a positive environment that is honorable, purposeful, and devoted while maintaining a focus on the enjoyment of the game.”

From January to March, Tempo focused on their indoor training facility, located at 350 E. 1st St. The facility serves the club well, providing a heated space, covered with fi eld turf, for children to train and play.

When sign-up for the fi rst Spring sea-son was underway in March, Hoffman hoped to see 150 kids on the list. Instead, a surprising 320 children were ready to hit the fi eld. The Spring season ran from April to mid-May. Children played their games on the 17.5 acres of land Tempo is cur-rently leasing northeast of the high school, and west of the HighPointe Townhomes.

Although it was only the club’s fi rst season, it was remarkably successful.

“Our 4-8 year old program was out-standing... We have many nationally

certifi ed coaches, and they were able to provide a high level of soccer for the kids,” Hoffman added.

Of those nationally certifi ed coaches, all serve on a volunteer basis. Riccardo Tarabelsi is the Director of Coaching for Tempo. After playing college soc-cer, Tarabelsi became a soccer coach and earned 2009 Boys Coach of the Year from the Sioux Falls Soccer Association. Tarabelsi now coaches several of the teams for Tempo, as well.

Despite the high level of training chil-dren receive, Tempo has been able to keep their costs low. Other area soccer clubs charge between $600-$700 for compara-tive play, while Tempo ranges from $45 to $75, depending on the program.

Plans brewing for 15th Annual

Teapot Days

Tea Mayor receives Junior Achievement’s Elite Award for empowering students to own

their economic success

Junior Achievement of South Dakota announced that John Lawler, McGreevy & Associates, has been chosen to receive the organization’s award for volunteerism, the Bronze Leadership Award.

The purpose of the Bronze Leadership Award is to recognize Junior Achievement volunteers who have performed outstanding service at all levels

within the organization. JA volunteers play a key role in bringing Junior Achievement to life. By sharing their personal and professional experiences and skills with students, volunteers help students make the connection between what they learn in school and what they will need to succeed in work and life.

“John is a wonderful example of how one person can make a big difference in the lives of young people,” said Kayla Eitreim, president of Junior Achievement of South Dakota. Lawler has been on the Junior Achievement of Tea board for the past fi ve years. He has taught JA programs in various grade levels and was instrumental in establishing Junior Achievement of Tea in 2008.

“The local business community has been ex-

tremely supportive of Junior Achieve-ment’s goal of inspiring local students to succeed in the global economy,” said Eitreim.

“John Lawler is a great example of that spirit of generosity. In a very real way, John helps JA students develop fi nancial literacy, entrepreneurship and work-readiness skills, contribute to the community and participate in the revitalization of the economy.”

For information on how you can get involved and become a Junior Achieve-ment volunteer, please contact Felan Ritze, Operations Director at (605) 336-7318.

Plans for Teapot DaysBY ERICA GASPAR

TEA WEEKLY REPORTER

Monday, June 4, the Tea City Council held the first of two monthly meetings. After ap-proving the agenda, the Council unanimously approved the ap-plication for a temporary malt beverage license for lots 8-12, block 11 and Baker Tract 2, lots 8, 9, and 10, (Tea City Park) for Tea Pot Days on June 16. The Council also approved the re-newal of malt beverage licenses for the Tea Pizza Ranch, Wood Ridge Casino, Get N Go and Cubby’s.

Mark Reinders, franchise manager at Mid American En-ergy, spoke about renewing the franchise for natural gas with the City. The existing license ex-pires in July and takes about two months to renew. The proposed duration for the new agreement is 25 years. The next step in the renewal process is to hold two public hearings; the fi rst to be held at the Council’s June 18 meeting, the second at the July 2 meeting.

District 6 State Representa-tive Candidate June Nusz at-

tended the meeting and shared her political viewpoints with the Council. Nusz said that Tea is a “hot spot for growth” and is doing “an excellent job” of maintaining an identity separate from Sioux Falls.

District 6 State Senate Can-didate Gene Abdallah also at-tended the meeting and spoke to the Council about his campaign to return to the State Senate. He stated simply: “I run on my re-cord; what I have done and what I intend to do.”

Next, the Council approved the May 21 minutes and June warrants. The Council then discussed Phase 3 of the Ath-letic Complex. Mayor John Lawler met with Jon Jacobson from Confl uence to discuss the ongoing plans for the Athletic Complex. Lawler would like to see a permanent bathroom and concession facility in place at the Complex. Discussion regarding this project is ongoing.

The Farmers Co-op is re-questing to extend their lease on the elevator property, if the City has no immediate need for the property. The Co-op would like

to lease the property from Aug. of this year to Sept. of 2013. The Council had no concerns with the request and is considering extending the lease indefi nitely. The Council could then give the Co-op a six-month notice if they no longer want to lease the land.

The Council approved pay-ment to Double H Paving, Inc., in the amount of $251,876.32 for the 2012 Overlay Project for Brian St. and First St.

The Council also discussed a reimbursement request from Friessen Construction. Due to the wet weather conditions during the HWY 111 project, Friessen was directed to dry the existing material from the 24'' sanitary sewer trench. They used an adjacent property owner’s land to complete this work. At the completion of the project, Fries-sen was obligated to restore vegetation to the property and is requesting $9023.43 to offset their incurred costs. An update on this issue will be provided at the next City Council meeting.

Discussion of the 2011 An-nual Report was tabled; it will be discussed at next week’s

meeting.The Council is requesting that

all attendees of Tea Pot Days leave their coolers and outside beverages at home. There will be a beer garden available in the park.

Under Committee Reports, Police Chief Brian Ketterhagen discussed purchasing speed signs that can be attached to poles to monitor drivers’ speeds. They can be moved easily to different intersections. Originally, Ket-terhagen was researching speed trailers, but determined this would be a better option for the City. Ketterhagen is currently working on a grant to help fund the signs and will update the Council at the next meeting.

Tea Economic Development Director, Jenni White, informed the Council that Mary Lee's Bakery and Daylight Donuts will be under new management. Tea resident, Aaron Spaan, will begin work at the bakery soon, and may change the name to Flyboy Donuts.

The meeting adjourned at 8:47 p.m. The next meeting will be June 18 at 7 p.m.

My Krazy Life

.

▼DeeAnn Konrad

I do not know how many of you have ever taken a biking vacation or have ever had the desire to in

the future, but if you have the de-sire to so sometime then this article is for you. There is a lot more that goes into planning a biking trip than one might think at fi rst glance. There are some very important things to consider that are only relevant to this kind of trip. That said certain things are the same no mat-ter what kind of trip you are taking.

The fi rst thing is to pick a destination and there are many good ones. The internet is a great source for fi nding the best trails in any state. Just Google the state you would like to ride in and the words “bike

trials” and you should fi nd every-thing you need. The second thing is how you will be traveling. If by car you will more than likely need a bike rack. There are roof

mounts, trailer hitch mounts and one could use a small trailer. The one you choose will be deter-mined by the number of bikes you would like to travel with and the cost is always an issue. One that locks is a must.

I f y o u a r e traveling by air you will need to pick up a bike traveling case.

These cases are designed to pro-tect your bike from the all of ruff handling it is sure to get. Some people I know have gone to the bike store and gotten an old box,

but they usually don’t work that well in my book. Often your bike doesn’t fi t right and sometimes the pieces are not secured and can move around. Then there is the support kit you will need to put together. Extra tubes, patches, a whole new tire (never know when you might stick a knife into it), Allen wrenches, a small pump, and small screw drive and pliers are not bad to have along. Mine kit has wire ties, chain lube and more, but then I have ridden long enough to know that the one thing I will need I did not bring.

A good water bottle or Camel Pack for water is another must. You can never drink to much wa-ter when riding especially in the summer heat. Your muscles need the hydration. Along with water an assortment of energy bars are always nice to have and will help you maintain that energy level you need.

Once we have our equipment in order it is time to address

our wardrobe. This can be tuff depending on where you are going. A good example is riding the Mickelson Trail in the Black Hills. If you are riding early in the morning a light jacket is often called for, yet by noon it is short sleeves and a sweat band. In one day of riding the Mickelson I have changed clothing confi gurations four or fi ve times. So really think about where you will be riding and pack accordingly.

A nice pair of padded bike shorts and a riding jersey although not mandatory will surely make your ride more pleasant. Oh and do not forget your helmet.

So we have our bikes, we have our support kit and we have our wardrobe. I guess the only thing left to pack is our energy. Plan your rides so you can take some breaks along the way. Take some time to enjoy the scenery and the people you will meet along the way. Plan your ride to fi t your abilities. Just enjoy.

Just a few years ago, I wondered if I would ever enjoy a moment of silence again. With

three active kids who eagerly greet me at the door after work, each waiting to tell me about the most amazing part of their day, the word “chaos” doesn’t even come close to accurately de-scribing the scene at our house.

However, I’m starting to real-ize that with each birthday comes a bit more inde-pendence. (Their b i r thdays , no t mine. I’m hitting the age that they may have to start taking care of me soon!) Brenner just turned fi ve. Kennedy will be nine in a week and Rylan will round out our summer birthdays by turning seven in August. Older kids are somewhat more manageable than little ones. I no longer have to follow them out-

side and hover over them as they play on the swing set. They can ride their bikes down to a neigh-bor’s to play a game of pick-up basketball, baseball, football

or whatever. Who knew those people who promised some quiet time would soon be coming my way were actually right!

B e c a u s e t h i s week’s paper is be-ing delivered to ev-ery home in Tea, we were encour-aged to re-introduce ourselves to readers who may be new to Tea and/or new to the Tea Weekly. Our family has lived in

Tea for fi fteen years now. There were 1,200 people living in Tea when we moved here. Today, the population has quadrupled. I’ve lost count if this July marks the eleventh or twelfth year I’ve been writing a weekly column for this paper. More than once, when writer’s block had deeply rooted itself in my mind, I have

thought about giving up this gig. But, I keep writing for two reasons: One, I am humbled by those who’ve told me they look forward to reading the column each week. I mean really? My life is not all that interesting. Sure, my kids provide some pretty entertaining material at times… but don’t they all? And yes, I do hop up on the soapbox from time to time. But, really? Hey – if you’ll keep reading, I guess the least I can do is keep writing!

And two, this column has become a cross between some much-needed therapy and a chronicle of our “krazy” lives – something I will one day proudly share with each of my children. They certainly deserve an organized booklet of these ar-ticles. I’m a little nervous about “gifting” them with my writings though. Something tells me they will be less than impressed about columns regarding my ill-fated potty training efforts with them or the column that detailed the three-ring circus that broke out when all three of them had the fl u at the same time.

My life is pretty normal. At least, that’s what faithful readers tell me. They assure me they see themselves and their own lives in my writing. That – my friends, is SO rewarding since that has been my true intention with every written word. They tell me al-most everything I have struggled with in terms of parenting, they too have or soon will struggle with. For that, I am thankful. Not that you’re struggling too, but that when I am admitted to the psychiatric ward, I might have some company!! Thanks for reading. Think of it this way – subscribing to the paper costs a lot less money than hiring a therapist! Quiet time is over. The kids are home!

P.S. The mystery is solved! I guess it’s no surprise that neither Thad nor I remember buying the tent we’ll take out on our fam-ily camping adventure. That’s because we didn’t buy it. My mom read last week’s article and reminded us that they pur-chased the tent for us as a gift for Christmas. So, she was the one who knew we would need a tent large enough for a family of fi ve!

Over the past few months I’ve been surprised about how often I see adults

and even worse children going into a gas station and coming back with a Red Bull or Monster energy drink. These drinks are beginning to take up a larger space in the cooler at your local gas station and the use of energy drinks continues to grow and at times seems to replace that morning cup of cof-fee for a little energy boost from all the caf-feine in them. These energy drinks also seem to be replacing the normal sour mix or tonic as the mixer of choice at bars. On top of the caffeine, the energy drinks also contain sugars and herbal supplements to help to boost your energy. What we’re going to take a look at is whether you or your children should be consuming these energy drinks and some possible side ef-fects of chronic use.

When looking at energy drinks the fi rst thing we’ll look at is the amount of caffeine in them. As with any other caffeinated drink, the caffeine in energy drinks can make you irritable, restless, and nervous. On top of that exces-sive caffeine intake has been as-sociated with headaches, tremors, nausea, and insomnia. Caffeine when taken in moderation can

be beneficial to you, however it’s the overuse that can cause problems. Excess caffeine can cause an increase in blood pres-sure, especially for those already with high blood pressure. In some cases caffeine can trigger potentially dangerous changes in heart rhythm, especially when mixing with alcohol since alcohol

also makes your heart beat faster. Some studies do associate high in-take of caffeine with dehydration, although there are other studies that don’t associate the two. Also excess intake of caffeine can impair calci-um absorption and bone mineraliza-tion in young ado-lescents. Some ene rgy d r inks

have up to 3 times the caffeine of cola. An 8 ounce glass of Red Bull has 80 mg of caffeine, while drip coffee has 100 mg, and Speed Stack which is a product from a body building company has 250 mg. The problem with Speed Stack and some others is that they also contain natural stimulants like guarana, which contains synephrine, an alternative to ephedrine. As we all remember ephedra is a controversial topic especially with it being banned in 2004.

The next thing to be concerned about with energy drinks is the

immense amount of sugar in these products. I’m not trying to pick on Red Bull it’s just that it is one of the more popular. In an 8 ounce can of Red Bull there is 27 grams of sugar. In an 8 ounce serving of Rockstar there is 31 grams of sugar, however it comes in a 16 ounce can so if you drink the whole can you’re getting 62 grams of sugar. These sugar totals are off the charts. If you’re trying to lose weight and are drinking an energy drink prior to working out, you have to work out just to burn off all the calories you just drank. That high dose of sugar also puts a lot of stress on your pancreas to pump out insulin and lower your blood sugar, which if you’re already overweight and insulin resistant can contribute to you becoming diabetic.

A study from the University of Miami just was released in which they reviewed the literature on energy drinks and their impact on children and found 121 refer-ences to energy drinks. What they found is that many children and

young adults have tried energy drinks and consume them heavily. 51% of college students regularly consumed one or more energy drink per month with a majority drinking them several times a week. The study also states that energy drinks are unregulated in the U.S. and there are reports from offi cials in Germany, Ireland, and New Zealand that associate cases of liver damage, kidney failure, seizures, confusion, and heart ar-rhythmias with excess intake of energy drinks.

My advice to you is to avoid all types of energy drinks. Keep caffeinated beverages away from your children, and only allow yourself the occasional cup of cof-fee. By making a simple change and avoiding the excess caffeine, sugars, and herbal supplements that are associated with energy drinks, you can improve how healthy you and your children are. Should you have any questions please feel free to email me at chrislane_dc@yahoo.com

Are energy drinks okay?

Planning a bike trip...

This column is the first in a two-part series.

Earlier this year, the South Dakota Supreme Court found itself stuck in the middle of a religious dispute. Two factions of a Hutterite colony disagreed about their community’s direction and could not resolve their differences.

T h e d i s p u t e resulted in two Supreme Court opinions, the most recent of which is called Wipf v. Hutterville Hutte-rian Bretheren, Inc., 2012 S.D. 4.

* * *I don’t pretend to know much

about the Hutterite tradition. Thus, in order to do justice to a column about a Hutterite colony, I ambitiously checked out nine books from the library and skimmed about half of them at home.

What I learned is that there is an awful lot to learn. I also won’t pretend that I can learn every-thing that needs to learned from a book. However, I will share what I found because it provides a magnifi cent background to the recent Supreme Court cases.

What appears here today in this column is just a brief snap-shot of the wealth of information out there.

* * *Hutterites have a magnifi cent

culture and religion with a long, proud history. Its followers have endured fi ve centuries as per-manent outsiders: persecuted, different, and seeking safety.

The history of the Hutterites begins in Switzerland, at around the same time that a Catholic priest named Martin Luther began to question the Catholic Church in Wittenburg, Germany.

It was the dawn of the Ref-ormation: a time of religious questioning throughout Europe, where conventional wisdom was being tested in many ways.

One group in particular ques-tioned the practice of infant baptism, suggesting instead that it should be reserved for adults, upon a confession of

their faith. Its adherents were called Anabaptists. The name is a misnomer, which comes from the Greek word meaning “rebap-

tizers.” Early followers were “re-baptized” as symbolic of moving beyond their infant bap-tism, but its fol-lowers are gen-erally baptized only once, as adults.

The idea be-gan to evolve a n d s p r e a d t h r o u g h o u t southern Ger-many, Austria,

Switzerland, and northern Italy.One feature shared in com-

mon by all Anabaptists was relentless persecution of their faithful. Followers of this brand of Christianity were considered heretics. An estimated 4,000 were martyred for their beliefs.

As a result, the movement grew relatively slowly and al-most entirely out of sight, in order to escape the disapproving eyes of the government and nosy neighbors.

In addition, the movement evolved with very little central-ized control (such as bishops). This resulted in a fragmented diversity of local practice and belief among the Anabaptists.

Eventually, out of this pot-pourri would come the modern day Mennonites, Amish, and Hutterites. (And some histo-rians also argue that the early Baptist religion was infl uenced by the Anabaptist movement.)

In response to relentless per-secution, many began seeking safety in friendlier parts of the world. A sizeable stream of immigrants headed to a promised land called Moravia.

Moravia is a part of the mod-ern-day Czech Republic, located near the line dividing Poland from Germany. At the time, Moravia was a very rich agricul-tural region that was missing one key ingredient: farmers.

In response to this need, the government of Moravia opened its doors to all comers. It was so hungry for settlers that it refused to turn anyone away based on religious differences.

Museum Matters

.

▼Verlyss Jacobson

This series of columns began in October 2006 as a means of keeping

the Tea Area Historical Society in the news. I started writing about displays in the museum. After a year or so I had written all I knew for then. I need to go back to the museum, look around, and write more.

I then wrote about events and objects from my past start-ing with what I remembered from my early childhood and eventually moving to the 1970s and 1980s. I tell people I write about old things: items, ideas, events, places, and sometimes people. When I am in hurry or have many tasks on hand, I consider discontinuing the column. Invariably I will soon

talk to someone who comments on the column and says he or she reads is every time.

I live in Lennox; I have never lived in Tea, so how did I get involved in this venture? In

1999 when Luella DeJong put a notice in the Tea paper ask-ing people to come to a meeting to start a historical society, I fi gured someone had to rep-resent the Hoffmans and the Bakkers,

my mother’s ancestors who were pioneers near Tea. The Bakkers arrived in 1882 and the Hoffmans in 1875.

My mother, Dorothy Hoff-man, was raised in Tea in the now-grey house across the street north of Cubby’s. My father, Edward Jacobson, was raised on a farm four miles southwest of Tea. He moved to a Jacobson farm southeast of Tea in 1934. My parents married in 1938 and they lived there till 1945 when I was nearly six years old. When I was ten years old, I knew nearly everyone in Tea. We at-tended Trinity Lutheran Church in Tea.

By June of 2002 our fl edgling historical society had published the over-400-page “Time for Tea”. Many people worked hundreds of hours writ-ing histories of organizations, churches, schools, families, individuals, and general memories. Hundreds of photos enhance the book. The book is still available.

The city owns the museum and adjoining social hall. The

historical society has collected hundreds of items for the mu-seum. We have done a good job of displaying and a fairly good job of labeling. We need to work on a cataloging system.

As you read this, the society is preparing for its part in Teapot Days. We plan and carry out the selection of Pa and Ma Teapot, the crowning and program on Thursday June 14, and our pancake breakfast beginning Saturday morning at 7 a.m.

Join us, as both events will be in the social hall adjacent to the museum. The museum will be open.

Every Tuesday afternoon a group of senior citizens plays cards at 1 p.m. Come to play cards or to visit the museum.

The historical society meets the second Thursday of each month except January and February. Watch for times in the paper. Join us anytime for a visit.

The Historical Society began doing the Ma and Pa TeaPot celebration in 2004, although the fi rst Ma and Pa Teapot were George Snyder and Margaret Hoffman

chosen in 1997. This is Ernie and Barb Otten riding in Ernie’s restored pick up. They were the fi rst ones chosen under the direction of the Historical Society. The new Ma and Pa Teapot will be crowned on Thursday night, June 14, at 7 p.m.. Two reminders: have you voted for Ma and Pa TeaPot at either Sun-shine or Pizza Ranch? Also, have you marked your calendar to enjoy an evening of entertainment at the Community Center on Thursday eve? The Historical Society also invite you to the pancake breakfast on Saturday morning June 16 and to buy chances on two denim quilts to be given away. The cost of tickets are $1 for 1 or 6 for $5.00

POSTCARDS

We would like to thank ev-eryone who expressed sympathy with memorials, flowers and kind words as we experienced the loss of our mother, Frances Hilbrands. A special thank you to Pastor DeHoogh for his visits to the hospital and hospice; and for offi ciating at her service.

Thank you to Joel and Jay Klusmann who defi nitely made planning and carrying out the fi nal arrangements so easy for us.

We, also, thank the musicians for their parts in the service. And thanks to the ladies of Faith Pres. Church for serving the lunch.

FATHER’S DAYBuzz Bissinger’s twins were

born three minutes—and a world—apart. Gerry, the older one, is a graduate student at Penn, preparing to become a teacher. His brother Zach has spent his life attending special schools. He’ll never drive a car, or kiss a girl, or live by himself. He is a savant, challenged by serious intellectual defi cits but also blessed with rare talents: an astonishing memory, a daz-zling knack for navigation, and a refl exive honesty that can make him both socially awkward and surprisingly wise.

Buzz realized that while he had always been an attentive fa-ther, he didn’t really understand what it was like to be Zach. So one summer night Buzz and Zach hit the road to revisit all the places they have lived together during Zach’s twenty-four years. Zach revels in his memories, and Buzz hopes this journey into their shared past will bring them closer and reveal to him the mysterious workings of his son’s mind and heart. The trip also be-comes Buzz’s personal journey, yielding revelations about his own parents, the price of ambi-tion, and its effect on his twins.

a chicken half enchilada, which is a single enchilada, and comes covered with tomatoes, lettuce and sour cream. Chips and salsa come on the side. This meal is priced at $6, which I consider pretty affordable. If you want a

larger meal, the full enchilada is two enchiladas, chips and salsa for $12. I’ll warn you: if you don’t like spicy, stick with the chicken. The beef is good, but defi nitely spicy.

The homemade salsa is smooth, but has a nice chunky consistency. It contains toma-toes, black olives, corn and mushrooms, among other ingre-dients. I liked it enough to take a batch home. The tortilla chips are nice and crispy and perfect for dipping into the salsa.

A glass of Coke works fi ne for me, but Mama’s also offers a va-riety of wines and domestic and imported beers. Their full menu is available at mamasladas.com.

Parking is fairly stress-free. Metered street parking is avail-able in front of the restaurant, or there is a parking ramp about a block to the east.

■ TEMPO SOCCER, from page 1

“We’ve had several parents com-ment that the level of developmental training we provide is better than any-thing they have seen...One of our goals is to provide a high level of education at a little cost,” commented Board treasurer Bob Lundin.

Hoffman also pointed out that the fl exibility of their club sets them apart. Hoffman keeps the line of commu-nication open at all times, informing parents of tournament options and club happenings.

“Parents have said transparency is

so very much appreciated within this organization,” Hoffman said.

Parents are able to pick and choose which tournaments they want to send their children to and are encouraged to communicate any issues at any time.

Moving forward, Tempo has big plans to continue to grow in the com-munity. Their fi rst major goal is fi nding a permanent outdoor facility to train and play their games. A soccer fi eld is 2.2 acres, and the club would like to fi nd land that is between 14-20 acres. Their second goal is to fi nd a new indoor training facility.

This summer will be busy for

Tempo. Summer Training will be held June 4-July 13 for children ages 7-16 and will cost $30. Several weekend tournaments will be held in Yankton, Mitchell, Norfolk and Brookings. Tempo is also partnering with several area colleges to host camps during the summer season.

Children ages 4-6 can participate in Summer league play for $35. They will play weekdays and have a 20 minute clinic and a 20 minute game.

To learn more about Tempo Soccer Club and all their summer and fall happenings, visit their website at www.temposoccerclub.org.

Make our home your home

From the archives...Once a month, the Tea Weekly will be look-

ing back through old issues of the Tea Spout to discover community happenings exactly 20 and 10 years ago. All articles featured were previ-ously printed in the Tea Spout.

20 years ago:Celebrating 90 Years

As the city of Tea looks forward to its 90th birthday celebration on July 11th and looks to the future with the promise of new homes in the two developments up to the north, new water lines, storm sewers, a new addition to our primary school, updates on our park and ball diamonds, housing for our elderly and maybe even natural gas. Hopefully this will be done with careful plan-ning so that - even though we are only 5 miles from Sioux Falls - we retain our unique small town fl avor that can only come from knowing and caring about our neighbors and our community.

Before we look to the future - let’s take a look back. Mr. Bill Haggar, owner of the 1st St. Mall, did some research about seven or eight years ago and came up with some wonderful old photos that he is sharing with us. We will be having more of the pictures in the July issue - if anyone has any background information on the pictures - we would love to share it.

10 years ago:West Central bleacher removal completed

In May the city of Tea placed a bid of about $2,100 in an attempt to purchase West Central’s football bleachers. In mid May the bid was ac-cepted and a group of volunteers went to work to dismantle the bleachers and bring them home to be used in the new Tea Area School District. The bleachers seat 1000 people and consisted of about 330 18 foot 2 x 10 planks and several hundred steel sections and cross pieces.

On Thursday, May 23rd about 15 people gathered at the West Central athletic fi eld to go to work. Comments were made like “it will take a month to take these apart.” Four afternoons later, over 3000 bolts were removed and all the planks and steel sections are stored neatly in Tea awaiting the proper place to reconstruct them.

It was reported that West Central will spend about $200,000 to replace the bleachers with new ones. This project was just a kick off ex-ample of what determined, committed citizens of this community can do to provide all of the materials needed for this new district and still save our money to pay our teachers and admin-istrators to provide the optimum education for our children.

BY JACKI DEYOUNG

The last three months have been busy for the club. In March

Alan Lambert talked to the group about hosting Japanese exchange students for 4 weeks over the summer. Two 4-H families chose to participate. The families that chose to par-ticipate are the DeYoung and Kuper families. Their students will be arriving July 22nd and will be leaving August 18th. A few Japanese students are still in need of host families. You don’t need to be a 4-H member to participate. If inter-ested, please contact Alan Lam-bert at 605-366-6107 or email alanelambert@gmail.com .

In April two families par-ticipated the Feeding South Dakota Food Program. Drew Plucker and leader Rhonda Dinnan, with her daughter Tori, helped box food that would be shipped to people in need across the state.

At the May 14th meeting Madison Kunkle showed the group how to make a multiple picture frame. Taylor Kuper’s dad came to thank the group for the care packages we sent over Christmas to his troop in Afghanistan. He showed pic-tures of his experience.

Now we are getting ready for the Japanese students to come. We are also busy getting ready for achievement days in August.

Teapot Troopers enjoy busy months of events

June is Great Outdoors Month in South Dakota so it’s a great time to

This coming weekend, June 8-10, is all about Grassland Giants! Don’t miss out on this opportunity to learn some in-teresting facts about the Grass-lands of South Dakota and the animals that call the grasslands their home! We have a lot of fun activities planned for this weekend! The programming will kick off on Friday, June 8 with a 9 p.m. movie at the amphitheater. On Saturday morning at 11 a.m. meet me at the amphitheater where we will go on a Senses Adventure. Later that afternoon, at 1 p.m., come down to the am-phitheater to learn about a few Grassland Giants. One Grassland Giant we will be learning about is the Buffalo. Save some room after lunch! At 2:30 p.m., come back down to the amphitheater to learn about making a delicious treat! To wind down from your busy day, come to the amphi-theater to enjoy some popcorn and popsicles while you watch a movie starting at 9 p.m.

On Sunday at 9 a.m. there will be a non-denominational wor-ship service held at the amphi-theater for all who wish to join. Terry Fluit from Canton will be leading the service.

This was quite different than the rest of Europe, nearly all of which was governed by state-sanctioned religions. In Moravia, the idea of “freedom of religion” was gaining an ini-tial foothold.

At the same time those Ana-baptists began fl ooding into Moravia, a few groups of its followers began banding together and living com-munally.

These groups fol-lowed the leadership and teachings of Jacob Hutter, a hat-maker born in the Italian/Austrian Alps, and who learned his trade in Prague.

Followers of the Hutter-ite way shared three beliefs: shared ownership of all worldly goods; nonviolence; and adult baptism.

All of these principals fi nd root in the New Testament, and many religions would later adopt one or more of them.

However, living commu-nally in groups was a unique way of life, and one that none of their neighbors practiced. This feature of their religion provided structure and conti-nuity that was missing from the Anabaptist view. And it

would help propel the religion and culture for the next fi ve centuries.

The very nature of an inward-turned community made the colonies easier targets for persecution. As the empty Moravian farmland began to

fi ll with outsid-ers, the colonies of Hutterites began to feel pressure. Soon, Moravia had plenty of settlers and could again be choosy about who it wanted living there.

It took the Hutterites almost three-hundred years to fi nd a permanent place to call home…which would be on the open prairies of modern day South

Dakota.Next week’s column (part

2) will follow their journey to America, and then explain the recent court cases about a local Colony.

The key legal principle in both opinions is the separation of church and state, which the government of Moravia and its Hutterite colonists briefl y helped pioneer, fi ve centuries ago.* * *

FRIDAY VOL. 3, NO. 21

Continuing a local tradition

of many decades, the annual

Tea Memorial Day Service will

be held next Monday morning

under the auspices of Blau-

DeBoer American Legion Post

266.According to Post Com-

mander Jason O’Toole, the

program will again be held at

the Legion Hall, beginning at

9:30 a.m., with Pastor Wayne

Reed delivering the homily.

Reed is presently serving as

pastor of Living Hope Commu-

nity Church.As in previous years, the

TAHS Memorial Day Choir

will participate in the program,

singing the “Star Spangled

Banner,” “God Bless Amer-

ica,” “Amazing Grace,” and

“Battle Hymn of the Republic.”

Students in the choir include:

Whitney Hansen, Natalie

LeVan, Kayla Peterson, Lexy

Kacmaryinski, Malisa Bunger,

Janna Remmers, Lexi LaFave,

and Tyler Wevik.

Sunday, May 20, at around

9:30 p.m. Mark Davis, 30, of

Sioux Falls, was driving toward

Tea on Sundowner Avenue, just

north of 85th Street when his

Blue GMC pickup truck collided

with three young boys on their

bicycles and threw them into the

east ditch, according to Lincoln

County State’s Attorney Tom

Wollman.The Tea Fire Department was

one of the rst on the scene, and

First Assistant Chief Steve Ober-

le said that he noticed the three

victims right away. Two boys

were on sitting on the side of

the road with blankets wrapped

around their shoulders, while

another was getting placed onto

a backboard. Oberle said all the

victims were conscious and alert.

The boys were around middle

school age, and taken to the hos-

pital for minor injuries. Wollman

says the boys are currently in

good condition.

Davis was given a sobriety

test at the scene, and then ar-

rested for drunk driving. In ad-

dition to a possible third DWI,

Davis is also facing three counts

of vehicular battery. He could

receive up to 30 years in prison

for battery charges and two years

in prison for drunk driving if

convicted. The Tea Fire Department

wants to remind all citizens to

use extra caution when driving

in the summer months, and if

you are going to drink alcohol,

to ensure you have a designated

driver who can get you home

safely.

Three boys injured after being struck by drunk driver

Monday, May 21, the Tea City

Council held their second month-

ly meeting. After approving the

agenda and the May 7th minutes,

a Public Hearing was held at 7:05

to approve a Conditional Use

Permit for a Group Day Care at

W. 7th St. The day care could

have up to 12 children and will

be licensed with the state. The

Zoning Board recommended ap-

proval. The Council approved the

Conditional Use Permit.

Next, concerned citizen Mike

Hofer attended the meeting to

discuss some traf c issues. Hofer

lives at the corner of 4th and

Poplar and has concerns about

the speed of drivers

when traveling through

that intersection, as well

as driver’s failing to

stop at the stop signs.

Hofer noticed the most

troublesome times are

morning before work

and evenings, after

work. “In my opinion, it is

really bad. I’m worried

one of my kids is going

to get hit,” added Hofer.

Hofer proposed

getting a speed trailer,

that would measure the

speed of traf c with

a ashing sign, and

he asked the Council

if they had any solu-

tions as to what could

be done. Hofer also asked if the

Police Department had a system

in place to know if citizens were

receiving multiple warnings for

traf c stops. Police Chief Brian Ketterha-

gen said that the of cer would

have no way of knowing if he

were dealing with someone who

had received previous warnings

until he returns to the station.

Mayor John Lawler said that

there are several areas through-

out town that are under extra

monitoring for traf c violations.

Council member Chuck Ortmeier

pointed out that there simply

aren’t enough police to patrol

every intersection.

Hofer said that he felt the Po-

lice were giving a disproportion-

ate number of warnings, instead

of tickets to traf c offenders and

that maybe citizens assume they

will not be ticketed for breaking

traf c laws. Lawler responded by saying

that we don’t know the offense

that occurred when the warnings

were given.

Citizen concerned about

safety of kids on city streetsMemorial Day service to be held May 28

HWY 106 closed May 29

Lincoln County Highway 106 from

I-29 west to Tea will be closed to traf c

for one day on Tuesday, May 29 weather

permitting.

During this road closure traf c will be

directed to use the County Highway 110

(Harrisburg) exit on I-29.

The overall project will take approxi-

mately two weeks to complete including

this one-day full closure.

Construction will involve asphalt over-

laying the existing 2-lane road and widen-

ing to a 3-lane (center left turn) section.

Construction scheduling has been setup to

minimize disruption to the traveling public

and area business owners. The project im-

provement cost is approximately $450,000.

June 2, 1996Swedish golfer Annika Soren-

stam defended her title at the U.S. Women’s Open, the second major win of her career. She carded an -8 272 for a six-stroke win at Pine Needles Lodge and Golf Club in Southern Pines, North Carolina.

June 3, 1998In Game 1 of the NBA Fi-

nals, it appeared that the Utah Jazz might fi nally get the best of Michael Jordan and the Chi-cago Bulls. Utah’s John Stockton scored 24 and Karl Malone added 21 as the Jazz defeated the Bulls, 88-85, in overtime. The Bulls went on to win the series in six games.

June 4, 1972It was a day of little offense

in Major League Baseball. There were a record eight shutouts, fi ve in the American League and three in the National League. The Oakland A’s blanked the Baltimore Orioles in both games of a doubleheader by 2-0 in both games. Two Hall of Famers threw complete game shutouts — Catfi sh Hunter won the fi rst game against the Orioles, and Bob Gibson whitewashed the Dodgers. Three other hurlers — Houston’s Don Wilson, Detroit’s Tom Timmermann and Boston’s John Curtis — pitched complete game shutouts as well. As a side note, three other teams scored just one run.

June 5, 1993In Game 7 of the Western

Conference Finals, Charles Bark-ley of the Phoenix Suns scored 44 points and grabbed 24 rebounds as the Suns disposed of the Se-attle SuperSonics, 123-100 to advance to the NBA Finals.

June 6, 1984In another classic battle be-

tween the Los Angeles Lakers and Boston Celtics in the NBA Finals, the Celtics took 111 shots in a 129-125 overtime win in Game 4. The win evened the series at two games apiece. Larry Bird of Boston had 29 points, 21 rebounds and was a perfect 10-for-10 from the line. Magic Johnson of the Lakers had a triple-double, scoring 20 points with 11 boards and 17 assists.

June 7, 1985With a blistering -15 273,

Nancy Lopez dusted the fi eld at the LPGA Championship, win-ning by eight strokes. It was the third major title of her career.

June 8, 1955The Brooklyn Dodgers sent

27-year-old lefthanded pitcher Tom Lasorda to the minor leagues to make room for a 19-year-old lefty with a live arm. Sandy Kou-fax joined the Dodgers that day. Lasorda was 0-0 with a 7.62 ERA in eight games (one start) over two seasons in Brooklyn. Koufax went on to be one of the greatest pitchers in baseball. Over his last fi ve seasons (1962-66), Koufax was 111-34 with a 1.95 ERA, winning three Cy Young awards.

Listen, we played terrifi c. I told them, we played extremely hard. I thought we played with great heart tonight, but I didn’t think we played smart all the time. And there’s things we can absolutely fi x, and we’ll do that. We’ll be ready for Friday.”

— Boston Celtics coach Doc Rivers after his club dropped a 115-111, overtime decision

to the Heat giving the Heat a 2-0 lead in the Eastern Conference Finals

“When I got home, to hear that voice-mail that I was offi cially invited to the MLB Draft, I honestly had tears coming from my eyes.”

— Outfi elder Courtney Hawkins of Carroll High School in Texas on his

invitation to attend the major league draft.

“I think it needs to be the four best teams in the country. I don’t think it needs to be the conference champions because in our league we might have four of the best teams in the country.”

— Florida coach Will Muschamp on the proposed four-team playoff for

college football

“The scheme they’ve got set for us, it’s pretty deadly. Only we can stop ourselves.”

— Green Bay tight end Jermichael Finley on the Packers’ offense

“In the 4 years I played for her, Pat Sum-mitt taught me more about life than ball. That’s the difference between a good coach and a legend. I’ll never forget freshman year when Pat gave me the birds and the bees talk...lol. ‘Anosike...if you give him the milk he aint gon want the cow!’ - Pat Summitt”

— Former Tennessee center Nicky Anosike via Twitter on the legendary coach Pat Summitt

“When she decided, that wasn’t too long ago, but we had to come up with the exact role of what she would do. There were a lot of discussions with a lot of people. Mom and I both know Holly (Warlick) will do a wonderful job (as Tennessee’s new coach). The biggest thing is Mom wanted to mentor the players off the court, because she believes succeeding in life is ultimately more important than the success on the court, and she felt this was what was best for the program.”

— Pat Summitt’s son, Tyler Summitt, on his mother’s retirement

.“It’s unbelievable. It’s crazy. It blows your

mind. And the really crazy part is that it’s not like he’s really into it. He’s not pushing it. It’s not like his PR machine is trying to do this; it’s just that people gravitate toward him because he is such a good guy. He’s a great guy and they should gravitate to him. It’s a polarizing deal for a lot of people, but he’s not the one pushing it that way.”

— New York Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez on the attention around

new teammate Tim Tebow

Did you fi nish your spring cleaning? Don’t know what to do with all of those shoes that are just too nice to throw away? The Faith In Action committee from Trinity Lu-theran church is seeking any used shoes to donate to the Soles4Souls project.

T h i s year Soles-4Souls has set an am-bitious goal: to process one mil-lion pairs of shoes at their Village Northwest Un-limited location. So, they thought they would give shoe donors some insight as to what happens to the shoes donated to the program.

Upon receipt of your shoes they are processed and graded by the people they serve. To process them they need to be paired and banded together. Singles are placed into a sepa-rate box for future shipment. Paired shoes are then graded and placed into large shipping boxes. Grading is by “New”, “High Grade Used” and “Oth-er” — meaning shoes like winter boots or lower grade used shoes. After a box is full, it is taped and placed into a storage trailer.

When the storage trailer is full, Soles4Souls sends a semi truck to offl oad the shoes for shipment to their main dis-tribution center in Roanoke, Alabama. From there new and high grade used shoes are immediately earmarked for distribution in the United States or abroad.

Currently, Soles4Souls has distributed shoes in 125 countries. Lower grade used shoes are sorted and packed for distribution, and some are provided to micro-enterprise

Putting old shoes to good useprograms in developing coun-tries such as Haiti, Tanzania and Honduras. The micro-enterprise participants clean and recondition the shoes to sell locally, thus providing both a rare employment oppor-tunity to impoverished people

who would like to start their o w n s h o e

businesses but lack the capital to do so,

and an afford-able source of shoes for the impov-

e r i s h e d l o c a l popu la -

tion. One of the rewarding

attributes about the mi-cro-enterprise program

is that is provides a hand-up to individuals instead of a hand-out and makes someone self-suffi cient. Shoes in very poor condition are unfi t for the micro-enterprise programs and are sent to recyclers in Pakistan who salvage the usable materi-als from the shoes.

Donated shoes to VNU also provide the people we serve with valuable work op-portunities and give them the dignity of having a job and the reward of earning a paycheck. So, check in your closet, in-vite your company, school or church to host a shoe drive and help them meet their goal of processing one million pairs of shoes in 2012!

The Faith in Action com-mittee will be placing dona-tion boxes in area businesses including Tea Sunshine, Val-ley Exchange Bank-Tea, Re-liabank, Service First Credit Union, My Tea Tots, My Tea Tots Too and Tea Tots.

The drive will be held Mon-day, June 25. If you have any questions about the drive, call Margaret Larsen at 368-2978.

TEA WEEKLY | PAGE 15 | JUNE 8, 2012 NEWS & INFO

BY: ANGIE MUNCE, PR OFFICER

Since the very beginning of the organized fi re service,

most fi re department staffs have included a chaplain. The most obvious role of a chaplain in the department is to provide spiritual guidance to the fi refi ghters.

In April of this year, Pastor Wayne Gallipo accepted the new position as the Tea Volunteer Fire Department Chaplain and on

Monday June 5th, 2012 he ac-cepted his “gear” which included a helmet and a jacket.

By accepting this role so gra-ciously appreciated by the Tea Volunteer Fire Department, Pas-tor Wayne will also takes on roles which may include being called upon by the incident commander to perform certain duties in the midst of the crisis. This could involve informing citizens of the death of loved ones, performing religious rites as requested by

citizens, and possibly assisting with funeral arrangements.

The chaplain’s most impor-tant duty is to help other fi refi ght-ers deal with the tough calls. This may include teaching classes on how to cope with tragedy as well as meeting immediately with the fi refi ghters after a diffi cult call.

The Tea Volunteer Fire De-partment would like to thank Pastor Wayne from the bottom of their hearts for accepting this position.

Pictured above is Pastor Wayne Gallipo accepting his gear and celebrating his position as Tea Volunteer Fire Department Chaplain. From left to right: Chief Grant Van Riesen, Gallipo and Captain/Cadet Advisor Rick Baker.

U.S. Senator Tim Johnson (D-SD) announced today that Linda Robison of his Sioux Falls office will hold an Economic Development Outreach Day in Lincoln County on Tuesday, June 12, 2012. Robison will visit Tea, Lennox, Worthing, Canton and Harrisburg.

“Many South Dakotans are unable to travel to my offi ces in

Rapid City, Aberdeen or Sioux Falls. Outreach Days help me re-main in touch with the concerns of South Dakotans,” Johnson said. “South Dakotans are my number one priority, and I want to make sure that everyone re-gardless of where they live has the opportunity to meet person-ally with my staff.”

Johnson has always encour-

aged South Dakotans to call, write or visit his Service Of-fi ces in Rapid City, Aberdeen, Sioux Falls or Washington, D.C. to share their concerns. South Dakotans may also call Johnson’s office toll-free by dialing 1-800-537-0025 or e-mail at http://www.john-son.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?p=ContactForm.

Boxers and Bikers Poker Run to be held June 16Northern Plains Boxer Res-

cue (NPBR) will be hosting their 3rd annual Boxers and Bikers Poker Run on June 16 in Tea. NPBR is a nonprofi t, all volun-teer effort where every boxer counts. The organization strives to rescue, rehabilitate, and re-home all boxers in need. Local resident Bob Evans and his wife, Krista, are helping NPBR orga-nize the poker run. The Evans family had one boxer, Miller, and decided to adopt another from NPBR, named Brinkly. “They are a great family dog and have high energy. I like to call them large lap dogs! They are very cuddly,” Bob stated.

Boxers come to NPBR from shelters, as strays, from breed-ers, and from owners who, for various reasons, need to find their boxer a new home.

They provide boxers with a loving home environment, all needed veterinary care (includ-ing spay/neuter), basic training, behavior assessment, and, most importantly, a forever home once carefully matched with an adoptive family.

NPBR stresses that they are not a pet store. Their fi rst pri-ority is the boxers in their care. Many of their boxers come from less than ideal backgrounds. Their goal is to fi nd the dog’s last and forever home. While they do take into consideration the preferences of every po-tential adopter, their priority is fi nding the best home for every boxer.

If you would like to help NPBR, there are several options. NPBR is always in need of good foster homes. Foster homes

help boxers adjust and become prepared for a forever home. NPBR also needs dog beds, dog treats, high quality dog food, dog toys, collars, leashes, dog bowls, blankets and cash dona-tions. If you are interested in volunteering or donating contact npbr@everyboxercounts.com.

The Boxers and Bikers Poker Run will be held from 5:00 p.m-6:00 p.m. on June 16. A poker run is an organized event where participants visit several check-

points, drawing a playing card at each one. The goal is to have the best poker hand at the end of the run. There will be prizes awarded to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place hands.

Drivers can register for this event from 11 a.m.-1:00 p.m. at 795 E. Kevin Dr. on June 16. All proceeds from the Poker Run will go directly to NPBR.

For more information go to www.everyboxercounts.com or call 605-366-3105.

The town of Tea had a mere population of 286, everyone in town had a PO Box to receive their mail, there was one bank, one small grocery store, one gas station, and main street (from the Cenex station to the Legion Hall) was the only paved street. Ray and Sandy chose to buy their fi rst home here.

Like so many in the community, as we know it today, Ray and Sandy both grew up on farms in “small town” South Dakota and wanted to raise their family in a small town. Although the town has now become a city, there is still a real sense of friendliness, a sense of safety, commitment to education, arts, athletics, community involvement directed toward a multitude of interests, and vibrant churches. Their three children, Carrie Quamen, Amber Johnson, and Casey Cheney are grown and now have their own families. Ray and Sandy have no plans to leave the Tea community, with fi ve of their seven grandchildren just minutes away.

Ray, a graduate of Arlington High School, served in the Vietnam War and was employed by the US Postal Service for over 35 years, retiring in 2010. His

hobbies include: carpentry, plumbing, electrical and general “handyman” projects. His community involvement currently includes: American Legion member, congregation

member and congregation president of Trinity Lutheran Church. Previously he has been a member of the SD National Guard, the Tea Jaycees, church youth advisor, the Castlewood School Board, Lake Area Multi-School District Board, SD School District Association, Mailhandlers Association, Letter Carrier Association, the National League of Postmasters, the National Association of Postal Supervisors, the Tea Area School Board, and Sports Booster Organizations. He was actively involved in the creation of the Tea Area School District, serving on ad hoc

positions as well as physically helping to construct the stick buildings still in use today.

Sandy, a graduate of Erwin High School, attended Augustana College and Mt.

“After living in a larger town most of our married life we were unsure about living in a smaller community. Now we wonder why we didn’t make the move sooner. We love being part of the Tea community.” So says Connie Seim along with her husband Ron, candidates for Ma and Pa Teapot for 2012.

the church council as well as many church boards. He also enjoys singing in the Men’s Chorus. He delivered Meals on Wheels while it was available in Tea and helped form the Blue Spruce Road District and served on the board since 2009. He is currently on the board
