Labor Day

Submitted by Edgar on Wed, 09/03/2014 - 5:49pm
As usual, Labor Day was a quiet day in Timber Lake. On Main Street, Melvin Gunderson and Nick Kraft (TOP) inspected Nick’s new purchase, a 1951 Chevy that had belonged to T.J. Keller, from top to bottom. A couple horses strolled around town. Maybe they were looking for a paradeb but that was in Eagle Butte, where the annual CRST Fair, Rodeo & Powwow, the last big summer celebration, was underway

Now 7 inches above normal

Submitted by Edgar on Wed, 08/27/2014 - 5:26pm
The first two or four inches of rain that fell last weekend was welcome but in some areas it didn’t quit. Nine inches fell north of Firesteel, sending Firesteel Creek out of its banks and causing flood damage to roads, homes and crops. At Timber Lake, the official rainfall from Thursday to Saturday was 4.16 inches, pushing the year-to-date precipitation to 21.57 inches, about 7 inches above normal.

Full school board in place as district readies for new year

Submitted by Edgar on Wed, 08/13/2014 - 3:10pm

The Timber Lake School Board has all five seats filled after operating with one vacant position for most of the past two years. Members are FRONT (L-R) Heidi Ducheneaux, Pat Aberle; BACK: Chad Mettler (chairman); Willard Nash, and A.J Lindskov (vice-chairman).

Pat Aberle took the oath of office Monday evening, filling the seat on the Timber Lake School Board that had been vacant for nearly two years. Aberle was appointed last month but was not seated until the August meeting. He had attempted to file a petition for the vacancy but was ruled ineligible because he was not registered to vote at the time.
