NSC prepares for boat ramp gate If all goes as planned, the City of North Sioux City will be installing an entrance gate sometime this month at the public access ramp on McCook Lake. The North Sioux City Council authorized the gate installation earlier this year. The city had hoped to install the system before boating season got underway, but delays in obtaining the equipment delayed the project. Mitchell Electric of North Sioux City had the low bid for the project, which will include a gate and an automated pay station. Installation was scheduled to begin this week. The city plans to have all equipment in place, then install the pay station when it arrives. The system will be tested before the actual payment process begins. The pay station will be set up to take debit/credit cards as payment for using the boat

ramp. Prepaid cards are available at stores in the area for those who do not normally carry either card. Boat ramp users will have the option of paying a $30 (calendar year) fee, or pay a $5 entrance fee and a $5 exit fee ($10 total) for a single use. A paper ticket will be printed out as a customer receipt. The receipt should be kept to provide proof of payment to law en-forcement officials. A light system will also be installed to help eliminate “jamming up” and let custom-ers know when the ramp is available. A red light will indicate the ramp is in use while a green light means the ramp is available for the next boat and trailer.

The planned ramp gate will be placed where the light pole, at left, is located in this view of the public boat ramp at McCook Lake during the 4th of July weekend.

Fathers serve linked parishBy Kelly Kruithoff Two South Dakota natives from two generations have begun their new assignments serving the three Catholic churches in southern Union County as they moved forward as a linked par-ish. Father Joseph Vogel and Fa-ther Jeff Norfolk began serving parishioners at St. Joseph Catho-lic Church in Elk Point, St. Pe-ter’s in Jefferson and Blessed Te-resa of Calcutta in Dakota Dunes. Father Vogel spent the last decade at St. Katharine Drexel in Sioux Falls, one of the newest parishes in the city. Father Norfolk contin-ues to serve the Newman Center at USD in Vermillion and was also pastor at St. Patrick’s in Wa-konda. Father Vogel was a rural South Dakota boy, growing up between the small communities of Turton and Doland, near Aberdeen. “I grew up 10 miles from a town of 100,” he noted. That town was Turton, which like Jeffer-son, was founded predominately by people of French-speaking decent. He graduated from Doland High School in 1969 and South Dakota State University in 1973 with a bach-elor’s degree in sociology. He was in ROTC in college and served nine years as a commis-sioned officer and security policeman. His du-ties took him to such wide-ranging locations as Montana, Thailand and England. It wasn’t until he was 28 that Vogel received his call to the priesthood and left the military. “I started to pray more and I thought I preached okay, but you’ve got the wrong guy,” he thought. “I felt very unworthy and God called and I thought, I’ll try it. I honestly thought I’d go to one year of seminary then go back in the Air Force, but it fit like a glove.” Vogel spent a year in seminary at Wino-na, MN, then four years at Mount St. Mary’s Seminary in Emmitsburg, MD. He was or-dained into the Diocese of Sioux Falls in May of 1987. He served at Christ the King in Sioux Falls, where he was a vocation director and recruiter. He briefly served at Resurrection in Huron, then seven-and-a-half years at the Newman Center at Northern State University in Aberdeen. During four of those years, he taught high school religion at Aberdeen Ron-calli, then three-and-a-half years at Westport, a small parish near Aberdeen. A stint at St. Michael’s in Sioux Falls led to his work as the founding pastor at St. Katharine Drexel Parish on the west side of Sioux Falls. “We built it from an alfalfa field,” he said. Father Norfolk is a native of Mitchell and graduated from Mitchell High School in 1999. He did a year of mission work around the United States and graduated from the

Franciscan University of Steubenville, OH, a small Catholic college. From there, it was five years of “major seminary” at St. John Vianney in Denver, CO. He was ordained in 2009 in the Diocese of Sioux Falls. Norfolk served at St. Mary’s in Aberdeen, then two years at St. Mary’s in Sioux Falls. He is completing his first year at the Newman Center at USD. His duties at St. Patrick’s in Wakonda have now been assigned to Father David Roehrich, who also serves churches in Beresford and Centerville after 13 years at St. Joseph and St. Peter’s here. Vogel moved into the St. Peter’s parish house in Jefferson last week while Norfolk will continue to live in Vermillion. Vogel said he chose to live in Jefferson because of its central location in the linked parish and be-cause it offered living in a house, rather than an apartment. “I’ve never lived in a small town,” he not-ed. “I like rural living. I like living in a house.” Both priests said they have been very well received at all three churches as they have worked to introduce themselves and set up schedules for daily and weekly Masses. “They’re all very active parishes,” Vogel said. “The people I’ve met are just wonder-ful. They’re sad to see both their pastors leave, they’ve done a great job. I’m very sad to leave, but very happy to be here.” Vogel noted that Blessed Teresa is very much like the parish he came from, as both were created in growing communities. He has been helped in learning about his new church-es by Blessed Teresa Deacon Joe Twidwell, Father Roehrich and Father Anthony Opem, who was the founding pastor at Blessed Te-

Priests serve linked parish, continued from front page

resa. Vogel and Norfolk have spent a great deal of time on the phone and spent last Saturday morning meeting in person in Jefferson. Nor-folk still has a Sunday morning service at the Newman Center and will have a Sunday evening service when classes resume at USD. Norfolk will be gone much of July, first on a planned trip to India, then to a wedding in Atlanta, GA. Vogel will also be at a family re-union this weekend. Several other priests, in-cluding Father Opem, will fill in during their absence. In addition to local duties, Vogel is the di-rector at the Broom Tree Retreat Center lo-cated near Irene. “That will be about one-fourth of my time,” he said. “It’s ‘Heaven on a hill.’ Day-to-day, they don’t need too much help. I’ll lead some retreats and Jeff’s [Norfolk] done a lot as well.” “I’ll definitely be helping him,” Norfolk said. “As chaplain at the university, I don’t have a lot of summer responsibilities, so I can get away more in the summer to help.”

Vogel said he and Norfolk will share many duties, with neither one assigned to any one thing all the time. Vogel’s goal is to be in ev-ery parish every weekend and rotate as evenly as possible. Besides his duties to the church, Vogel likes to ride his bicycle, fish, hunt, golf and just visit people. Norfolk likes to travel, es-pecially to meet friends and colleagues from college and seminary, and take part in re-treats. Vogel noted family is very important to him. His father was one of 10 children and his mother came from a family of eight kids. Vogel has 75 first cousins. “We’re just excited to be here, happy to be here,” Norfolk said. “We understand it’s a big change for them.” “If we go in obedience to the Bishop, there’s a powerful lot of peace that comes with that,” Vogel said. “I’m very grateful for the peace that is present in our lives. There’s a lot of peace in coming here. You can be sad and peaceful at the same time, if you’re obe-dient. I’ve learned to trust obedience.”

Daugaard seeks damage assistance Gov. Dennis Daugaard has requested a Presidential Di-saster Declaration to help South Dakotans whose homes and businesses were damaged by a tornado and flooding last month in Union, Lincoln and Jerauld counties. The request is for the Individual Assistance program from FEMA. If the President approves the declaration request, FEMA can offer a range of programs designed to help state residents who have been impacted by the flooding. In a letter to FEMA, Daugaard noted that the damage oc-curred because of a pattern of severe storms, flooding and tor-nadoes from June 13-20. The storms caused flash flooding in many communities along the Big Sioux River in southeastern South Dakota. About 90 percent of the homes within the city of Canton sustained flood damage. At least six tornadoes impacted Jerauld County June 18, including one that caused severe damage to the county seat of Wessington Springs. “Many children were in the path of the tornado, and nu-merous families have harrowing stories of huddling in a base-ment to protect their children as the storm ripped away their home above them,’’ Daugaard wrote. Daugaard said the state responded to four Presidential di-saster declarations in 2013. “As you understand, re-covery from disasters takes years after the initial event to fully recover physically, emo-tionally and financially,’’ he wrote. “The costs associated with this disaster combined with the four declarations last year increases the state’s financial stress if federal as-sistance is not provided.’’ Federal, state and lo-cal teams assessed the ex-tent and severity of damage to homes and businesses in three counties on June 26-27. Based on those assessments, Daugaard determined that a request for Individual Assis-tance programs is justified. The Governor’s request does not guarantee federal fund-ing will be made available to South Dakota citizens. South Dakota last received an In-dividual Assistance declara-tion in 2011 for widespread damage from Missouri River flooding.

Doing dishes for foodMembers of the North Sioux City Fire Department spent a month recently collecting items for a food drive and trying to avoid doing the dishes. Fire Captain Tim Bell came up with the idea of a contest between members of each fire vehicle, with the vehicle staff that collected the least amount washing the dishes of the winning truck after a training session meal. The Quint 6 crew won the contest and their dishes will be washed by Res-cue 6 at the August training meeting.

Pictured above are Bell, left, and three firemen who collected the most items – Nick Buckley, Faustin Mahlke and Mitchell Reynolds. The food will be donated to the Elk Point Food Pantry, which serves all of southern Union County. Photo by Kelly Kruithoff

Tornberg has been a resident of District 16 since moving to Beresford in 1970 at the age of 15. She graduated from Beresford High School in 1974, Augustana College in 1977 and completed her master’s degree in second-ary education and speech communication in

1984 at USD. Tornberg had a 31-year career in educa-tion, including teaching English, speech and debate at Beresford from 1977 to 2000. She taught full time at Sioux Falls Lincoln High School until 2008 when she was elected president of the Sioux Falls Educa-tion Association.

Following the Big Sioux River high water event of two weeks ago, several individuals have advocated for changes to the Big Sioux Flood Control Project (BSFCP). While the City of North Sioux City certainly appreciates these concerns, it is important to understand that the levee/channel system is an intricate network, and that changes to the North Sioux City levee could negatively impact private property owners and other communities to our north and south.Recently we have heard a lot about the flood of record in 1969, which was significant for at least two reasons. First, the obvious damage caused by the record high flows. Second, the motivation provided to create and construct the Big Sioux Flood Control Project (BSFCP) to protect a portion of North Sioux City and the Riverside Area of Sioux City. While the record flood of 1969 gets all of the attention, it was the several floods prior to 1969 that provided the economics to construct the Flood Control Project. Several smaller floods damaged portions of Riverside as well as North Sioux City (south of River Drive and on some occasions Main Street). Flood Control Projects are evaluated on a cost vs benefit basis to determine their feasibility. Smaller floods that occur more often contribute significantly to create the financial ‘Benefit’ to offset the ‘Cost’ of construction of the Flood Control Project. Large floods that create a single large damage event may not have the damage ‘Costs’ of several smaller floods. When the BSFCP was evaluated, the ‘Cost’ of extend-ing the levee system further north was not offset by the anticipated ‘Benefits’. In order to construct a Flood Control Project, the cost needed to be reduced. Thus, the levee stops at Exit 4. Some would correctly argue the economics of flood protection has changed, as the value of homes and school structures along North Shore has increased significantly since the early 70’s. The new value of ‘Benefit’ to homes and structures must be evaluated against the new ‘Cost’ of flood protection construction to obtain federal assistance for a change to the BSFCP. The threat of flood waters flowing over I-29 into McCook Lake and Lake Goodenough was vis-ible on Friday June 20, 2014, at 1:00 p.m., but the damage did not occur for the Benefit vs. Cost analysis. The new record flood of 2014 has repeated the two significant results mentioned previously for the event of 1969. First, the damage was terrible to all of those who were in its path. Second, we have been shown the potential danger. The flood was either on our property; or too close for comfort. Some would say the BSFCP should be modernized. Several years ago, the City studied several ways to improve

the current flood control project. Option One: Convey the record flood through the BSFCP to the Missouri River. This option would extend the levee north and block the water from flowing over I-29 and into McCook Lake and Lake Goodenough. Studies showed the additional water volume would raise the water level in the BSFCP requiring modifications to the existing levees and ad-ditional flooding of the Iowa side of the Big Sioux River. It is beneficial to compare the height of the levee on the South Dakota side of the Big Sioux with the property on the Iowa side. In 1969 and this year, Sioux City constructed tempo-rary levees on interior surfaces in Riverside. Additional flow through the BSFCP increases the damage to the Iowa side of the River. This proposal, would most likely meet some opposition. Option Two: Convey the water through a channel to old Lake Goodenough and through the Adams Nature area to the Missouri River. This option requires road reconstruction and flood easements from both private land owners and the State of South Dakota. Assistance would be required from other governmental agencies in order to acquire the property for this option.Option Three: Construct a levee with a channel to McCook Lake and to Lake Goodenough to allow the existing flood flow to proceed as with the existing conditions, but control the flow routes to reduce the damage. This option requires an outlet to both lakes, right of way for the channels, and road modifications. To construct this option, condemnation of right of way is required. As we consider the options for flood control, it is ben-eficial to remember there are two states, two counties, two cities and two FEMA regional offices to review and approve any change to the BSFCP. North Sioux City and Union County previously worked on a plan to control the major flood events. North Sioux City has funded studies needed for the BSFCP modification, but additional study is needed. The public review and input process is still required. Several of the land owners that would be impacted were willing to provide the property at no cost or at a reasonable cost. However, not all of the land owners were willing to participate. While some people saw the need for the modification to the BSFCP, not all saw the need. I can assure you that the City of North Sioux City is very aware of the significance of this issue, and will continue to work with the appropriate county, state and federal officials in a coordinated effort to identify a long-term solution. Now is not the time for political posturing. This is a serious and complex issue that warrants serious and complex thought and planning.

When I was your age…I’m often reminded

from my children that I’m old. They try to be gentle. They don’t just bluntly say, “You’re old.” It’s done in subtle ways. Like when my daughter told me she wanted to take kickboxing, like an eager puppy, I gushed, “I should go with you!” She replied, “It’s a lot harder than you think, Mom.” I know it’s not like kicking a rock, but really? There are times I’m told I’d reached my weekly limit of text message emotion signs (I was told not to say, “emoji”) or the snickers I received when I tried using the same words I swear I had just heard them use. I’d like to prove how hip I am, but it’d be a weak argument as I’m currently lying on an ice pack due to lifting a box of bedding improperly. I argue from my position on the sofa, “Anyone can throw out their back lifting boxes!” My son questioned, “Of sheets?” I argued, “It was improper lifting!” My children think I can’t relate to things in their world because “things have changed.” In their opinion, my expiration date has expired. I argue that things in their world aren’t too different than when I was their age. But, to be honest, things in this world have changed a plenty. Take phones, for instance. When I was a teenager, we had one phone in the house with a cord that could reach the kitchen, living room and halfway up the stairs but not the bathroom. We had a party-line phone that we shared with three neighbors. Cordless phones were created when I had my second baby. Five years later, I had a cell phone. Today my children all have their own cell phones. If we hear that strange cordless machine on the desk make those ringing sounds, we look at it oddly until it stops ringing. How about ironing? My ironing board is folded up by the clothes dryer gathering dust. When I was a teenager, Tuesday was ironing day. My mom would stand by the ironing board for hours. She sprinkled water on the clothes and ironed every shirt and pair of jeans to get that crisp line down the front, sheets and the “good towels” for guests. Honestly, if it doesn’t say, “wrinkle proof” I don’t buy it. And I don’t get out the ironing board; I get out the dry cleaning bag for the few things that need to be ironed. And I’ve never ironed my sheets. Let’s look at church clothes. When I was a child, my mom had us getting ready for church the night before. After I had my bath, she’d roll my wet hair in pink squishy hair curlers that I had to sleep in all night. My dress was laid out to wear for church. I had “church clothes” that couldn’t be touched or worn for anything but church. I tried wearing a dress during the week and my mom gasped, “That’s your church dress!” I really didn’t think God would mind if I wore my “church clothes” to school, but apparently it was a big deal. The morning of church, my hair was unrolled from the uncomfortable rollers and combed out and I wore my crisply-ironed church dress. Today, my children are pulled out of bed Sunday morning and told, “You have

30 minutes!” They pull on jeans and casual wrinkle-free shirts, grab a breakfast bar and run for the car. Finally, there’s television. When I was a teenager, we had one television that was built into a cabinet. It was a piece of furniture. My mom had our dorky framed school

pictures sitting on top of it. We had Public TV and two other channels. The remote control was my little sister. She’d sit in her little rocking chair by the television. We told her she had front seat and a “very special job.” She’d turn the knob to the three different stations with the loud, “Click, click” sounds. We’d tell her to turn the volume up and down… no batteries needed. Today if my children can’t fi nd the remote control, they’re in a panic. No one knows where the power button, much less the volume button, is on the TV. A lost remote is a major crisis. I’ve had to buy a new universal remote, but then you need to know codes to set the darn thing. I’m telling you, things were simpler with my little sister sitting in her special spot alongside the television. We never lost her. Things may have changed, but that doesn’t make me old or naïve. It makes me experienced and that’s pretty hip. Wait… I may have just sold myself out by using the “hip” word.

A special tripWith $55 in 1964, you could take a trip to the

World’s Fair in New York City. The price included transportation and lodging. It was a great deal and I signed on, along with approximately 35 other high school students from Sioux Falls. The trip was sponsored by the YMCA. Our lodg-ing was sleeping bags on gym fl oors between Sioux Falls, Washington DC and New York City. Our transportation was a roundback Jack-rabbit Bus Lines charter. Our driver was Archie Henle, a veteran bus driver. He and I remained friends right up to his death many years later. In New York City, we stayed at the YMCA’s Sloan house, so we actually got real beds. At the fair, two things stood out for me. First was Michelangelo’s Pieta in the Vatican Pavilion. It was brought over from Rome; the viewing was quick as we were on a moving walkway. Second was a ride in a passenger helicopter over the fair and down inside Shea Stadium, home of the Mets. It was a great way to see the fair and parts of New York City. In Washington, DC, Arlington National Cemetery (actually in Virginia) was the most impressive. Because I was always interested in politics, I listened to Barry Goldwater get the Republican nomi-nation at the convention in San Fransisco while I was laying in my sleeping bag at a Y in Maryland. We learned that Pennsylvania had more hills than all the other states put together. Our bus wore out at LaCrosse, WI on the way home, but we were so tired we slept through the extended repair time. I still have my photos.

Main Street in Elk Point. Each session will include group reading, a hands-on activity and education on topics such as U.S. Independence, gold mining in South Dakota, the prairie, wildlife and other top-ics. Books to be used are a part of the children’s collection at the museum. Everything will be geared for young children to enjoy. Parents are invited to tour the museum and enjoy the mu-seum grounds at that time. Families are invited to bring a sack lunch and enjoy a picnic on the museum grounds at noon. Chil-dren may attend one or both sessions, as each book club session will cover different topics. Amy Zeller, a summer volunteer at the museum and a 2014 graduate of Elk Point-Jefferson High School, will lead the groups.

Are Internet-only public notices suffi cient?No. While the Internet is a useful resource, websites should not be the sole source of government’s public notices such as school board minutes and bid notices.

Websites, whether controlled by a government body or a private fi rm, are not independently verifi ed and lack the readership and reach that South Dakota newspapers deliver.

Public notices published in this newspaper, as well as found at www.sdpublicnotices.com courtesy of this newspaper, fulfi ll the standards that South Dakotans expect.

What is a public notice?A public notice informs citizens about the business of government and the expenditure of taxpayer dollars. Public notices should be published in a forum independent of the government, readily available to the public, capable of being securely archived and verifi ed by the publisher.

This newspaper carries government public notices and is proud to serve the public in this way.

Q&A

PUBLIC NOTICES IN YOUR NEWSPAPER.Because good government depends on it.

Are public notices necessary?Whether it’s the minutes of the local school board or a proposed zoning change, public notices inform citizens about the business of government. And at a very affordable price.

The publication of all public notices on average costs local goverments less than one-half of one percent of their overall budget.

Public notices in your local newspaper provide accountability and transparency about your government. A wise investment in democracy.

State fair launches new website The South Dakota State Fair launched a new website, www.sdstatefair.com, on Wednesday, July 2. The new website includes an updated design and im-proved usability. Visitors can expect a refreshed look and ease of use when looking for information about the State Fair and other events happening on the fairgrounds year-round. “The new site is like a facelift for the state fair,” said Jerome Hertel, SD State Fair manager. “I think visitors will really enjoy the fresh design and layout.” The new site includes a countdown to the fair and a stronger focus on entertainment and events. Usability has been improved, making event schedules and information easier to locate throughout the site. A year-round events calendar has been added to em-phasize the events taking place throughout the year. New websites with updated designs and layouts for Wheel Jam, Men’s Expo and the SD BBQ Championships are also be-ing designed and will be launched in the coming months. The 2014 South Dakota State Fair runs from August 28 to September 1. Preview day will be Wednesday, August 27. This year’s theme is “What Does The Fair Say?” For more information, call 800-529-0900, go to www.sdstate-fair.com or find them Facebook and Twitter.

Wagon train route finalized The route has been set for the 125th anniversary wagon train. The wagon train will start in Yankton, home of the Da-kota Territory Capital, on September 3 and end at the State Capitol in Pierre on September 20. “Traveling in a wagon train for 15 to 17 miles a day is hard work, but it’s also a lot of fun making new friends on the ride and along the route,” said wagon train organizer Gerald Kes-sler, who has participated in over 90 wagon trains. The route includes stops in 13 towns and several pastures as the wagon train makes its way on roads and cross country. Each evening when the wagon train stops, local landown-ers and historians will present a history of the area. Commu-nities and civic groups will be sponsoring evening meals and events so locals can see the wagon train up close and visit with wagon train participants. The wagon train is sponsored by the South Dakota Draft Horse and Mule Association. The total cost per participant

is $125, regardless of whether the participant is riding for one day or all 17 days. The wagon train will supply a wagon master, outriders, toilets, water and buses to move vehicles each evening. Participants must supply their own equipment, animals, food, livestock feed and other traveling necessities. All fees and donations will be used to defray the costs of the wagon train. Thirty-six wagons and 84 people have already signed up for the wagon train from eight states – South Dakota, North Dakota, Minnesota, Colorado, Nebraska, Iowa, Wisconsin and Kentucky. Those who would like to participate must apply online. The route map and application can be found at http://125.sd.gov. For more information, con-tact Gerald Kessler at 605-223-2313.

PAGE 12/JULY 10, 2014 DAKOTA DUNES / NORTH SIOUX CITY TIMES

South Dakota’s most storied cityBy Betsey Cook When Florence Wictor of Dakota Dunes remem-bered growing up in Deadwood, SD during the late 30s, 40s and 50s, she mentioned two things fi rst: the steps and the graveyard. Her home, built in 1892 and purchased by her father in 1917, was at the top of a hill. There were 175 steps with which to contend practically every day. “I am surprised that my back is healthy,” she laughed, “because I slipped so many times down those steps in the winter. But we had lots of padding in those days, like snow pants and coats. But we had fun sliding down.” Her next memory was of the Mt. Moriah Cemetery, which she and her friends used as a playground. “I know it sounds awful,” she said, “but we would look for old graves not even realizing that the cemetery was not that old.” From there, she and her friends would go climb on rocks, have a picnic lunch and watch the skunks and porcupines which were prolifi c then. They would bring home fauna for decorations and chokecherries for jam. A corner of the graveyard was reserved for the Chinese. Wictor remembers them bringing massive amounts of food to put on the graves for whatever journey they were on, although their goal was to have their bodies go back to China for inter-rment. These Chinese came to Deadwood back in the 1800s to supply laundry service and food for the miners. A bit outside of the formal cemetery rests a man named Seth Bullock, a good friend to President Theodore Roosevelt. They used to go hunting together on his ranch which still has the memorial Bullock dedicated to his friend. “His grave was supposed to be where he could look out over his hills to see Mt. Roosevelt, but nobody thought about the trees,” Wictor said. “They grew so now you cannot see

anything but the trees.” Besides Wild Bill Hickok and Calamity Jane, a colorful character named Potato Creek Johnny is also buried there. “He had a mule and a hat,” Wictor fondly recalled. “He had found the largest gold nugget in the state then. He would give us girls a whole nickel which would buy a whole lot of penny candy in those days. “You could go anywhere and do anything back then with-out fear of intrusions,” Wictor stated. “Life was simple. There was no push to do anything. People were generous and con-servative. We even kept our school lockers clean!” When Wictor’s father was laid up for nine months with a broken leg, her family never suffered from a missed meal or lack of clothing. “One store owner who was not of our faith told my father that he could have anything he needed during that time,” Wic-tor said. Wictor remembered the war years. “We would sit in our houses with the blackout curtains and

listen to the airplanes roar overhead from the base in Rapid City,” she said. “We felt safe.” Gamblers knew where to go, either the basement of a local hotel or a log cabin up the street. Also there were fi ve houses of prostitution at that time. When her mother went to work cleaning for other people during her hus-band’s convalescence, she cleaned for a woman named Myrtle who owned a beauty shop. “A lot of the Madames and their girls would go there. They were just people you knew,” she said. “ When the town needed a new fi re engine, the Madames contrib-uted the most.” She remembered an incident with the Hell’s Angels during the fi fties. Sheriff McGrath collided with them a few times and told them in no uncertain terms that the gang would not take over Deadwood.

“A couple of the bikers pushed him too far; they wound up in the hospital and their bikes were pushed over a cliff,” she remembered. The gang still comes once in a while, but they cannot wear their colors. Deadwood has changed a lot over the years. Where Wictor bought her wedding dress is now Kevin Costner’s gambling casino. “However, I have about twenty fi ve friends I graduated with that still get together whenever we can,” she noted. “People from back east, when they drive across South Da-kota would think, ‘My, what a wasteland!’ They cannot visual-ize a land where there is nothing on both sides,” Wictor said. “But then you get to the hills. “The Deadwood I knew was a place of contentment and comaraderie,” Wictor concluded. “Everybody was friendly. We were not a town of have’s and have-not’s. There is not another town named Deadwood anywhere; it was a town that nobody else had.”
