They also take time tounderstand how people run theiroperation as if it were there own.The way the company sees it, isthey are only as successful as theircustomers are, according to theirwebsite. The also said that is thereason they invest time, energy, andresources to ensure the purity andquality of what they deliver.Kathol said one way the companyhas changed is it has gone from beinga small industry to a high-techoperation. What started in easternIowa and Illinois has moved westwardto Colorado and southwardto Texas. Corn growing has gonefrom open-pollination to geneticallymodified organisms, also known tomany as GMOs.Open pollination is achievedby insects, birds, wind, or othernatural mechanisms. The seeds ofopen-pollinated plants will producenew generations of those plants. Onthe other hand, GMOs are a resultfrom a discipline called GeneticEngineering which involved takinggenes from one species and insertingthem into another. One particulardifficulty the company has faced isthat the seed business keeps gettingearlier and earlier, Kathol said.“People are more demanding andexpect more,” Kathol said.To meet these demands andexpectations, Kathol said it is importantto keep up and educated aboutthe technology, planting processesand products, which he believes thecompany does well.“I think we are knowledgeable inknowing what the proper productis for the proper situation,” Katholsaid. As for the future, Kathol saidhe wants to continue giving peoplethe best service possible by providingthem with the right product forthe right situation.Rural WaterContinued from page 1As a result, the surfacewater treatment plant in thebankrupt Devils Nest Developmentwas purchased and theProject was born. Lewis andClark Lake is used as the watersource.Work on the distributionsystem and refurbishing thetreatment plant began April21, 1981, and the first waterwent was pumped Oct. 1,1981. One 165 miles of pipeand one booster station served283 rural users and two towns,Crofton and St. Helena.Three additions have beenmade to the original project.The Project now serves 822service connections, whichincludes four villages, threehousing subdivisions, Gavin’sPoint Dam facilities, LakeviewGolf Course and Lewis andClark State Recreation Area.The project goes as far eastas Obert and south to the edgeof Hartington with a total of392 miles of pipeline.The treatment plant usesthe excess lime treatmentprocess to clarify the waterpumped from the Lewis andClark Lake. This process alsosoftens the raw water down.Carbon filtration to controltaste and odor has been addedto the system and the water isfluoridated and chlorinated.If enough people commit,Brooky Bottoms may becomepart of the service area.“To start the process, weneed a $25 engineering fee,which we are asking for tonight,”Jueden said. This fee isnon-refundable.After paying the fee, the applicantmust fill out a WaterUse Agreement and an easementso access can be gainedto their property for line maintenance.The cost will be around$7,000, which is just a roughestimate, according to Jueden,for a meter pit and to install LibraryContinued from Page 1out the building by selling carpet squares at $30 a piece topatrons and businesses. Within four months, the library hadraised $20,000, enough to complete the project without usingany taxpayer funds.“That’s a lot of local support,” Anderson said. “That just showsyou how much they love and appreciate our small town library.”Anderson explained that the library is always looking for newideas and ones the patrons want. They currently offer a hostof programs for people of all ages.One program that has been around a long time, classes forthose who want to learn the basics about computer, is beingoffered again this year. However, the difference is this year, itis free of charge to patrons, thanks to a B-TOP grant.The B-TOP grant is one feature of The American Recoveryand Reinvestment Act. The ARRA has provided $7.2 billion toexpand access to broadband services across the United States.Grants were provided to about 140 libraries across the UnitedStates. The Hartington Public Library received one for $15,000.Music Monday is a music program for children ages kindergartenand younger. While listening to age appropriate songson tape and CD, children use their hands, legs, and musicalinstruments to keep the rhythm and act out songs.There is also a summer reading program, which is for childrenages preschool to those entering sixth grade. The programstarts at the beginning of June and spans five weeks. Includedin it are opportunities for children to come to story times thatinclude songs, crafts, games and other activities. Andersonsaid there are about 175 children currently in the program.The art gallery, which is funded by the Hartington LibraryFoundation, is another attraction offered by the library. It wasopened to promote art exhibits and enhance the role of arts inthe community.“Our art gallery draws a lot of traffic,” Anderson said.Last month, Hope Dendinger, Hartington, displayed hercontemporary abstract artwork. In January, Wayne State artstudents Shelby Kuehn, Danny Rizor and Lora Sehi will displaySchiferl named toSDSU Dean’s ListBROOKINGS, S.D. - MeganMarie Schiferl, Fordyce, wasnamed to the dean’s list duringthe Fall 2012 semester at SouthDakota State University.To earn dean’s list distinctionsat SDSU, students completea minimum of 12 creditsand must have earned at leasta 3.5 grade point average on a4.0 scale.it. The pit would be locatednear the edge of the property,Schroeder said.A meter pit is contained insidea 15 inch by 6 foot PVCpipe buried on the homeowner’sproperty. Inside this pit isthe shut off valves and othernecessary plumbing. The meterunit in the pit is located atthe bottom of the pit under aninsulation pillow.The homeowner is then responsibleto install plumbingfrom the meter pit to the pointof use. If you choose not toconnect right away, the othercustomers will be paying for it.A major reason for doing thisis so there are not any “stragglers,”Jueden said.From there, the cost wouldbe $36 a month plus $4.50 per1,000 gallons you use, whetheryou use it or not, accordingto Schroeder.“The more people that hookup to the line, the cheaper itis going to be for everyone,”Jueden said.Water usage must meet severalother conditions as well.Each property will require aseparate meter. No sub-metersare allowed. Also, therecan be no cross connectionswith alternative water sources.Jueden said they do this toavoid the possibility of contamination.Meters will be read by theProject and billings are sentout each month. Water serviceobligations run a minimum offour years for payments.Failure to pay the monthlyrates will result in a disconnectionof the customer’s waterservice. Though, in extenuatingcircumstances, it wouldbe good to contact a memberof the Project team.“If there is a hardship inyour family, we are not just goingto come out and turn yourwater off,” Jueden said. “Contactus and we will work withyou.”Library Director Tami Anderson, and assistant, Carol Craig, displaythe certificate announcing the Hartington Library’s five-starrating from the Library Journal Index of Public Library Service.their artwork.Two story times are also available. One meets every Wednesdayat 10 a.m. It is a 30-minute program for children ages 3-5and helps them get acquainted with the library, books andother children their age.Also, the library offers a theme-based monthly Story HourSeptember-April, on the last Thursday of every month, at 4p.m., for children grades preschool through second grade.In the end, Anderson said she believes the library is a bigpart of the community and she wants to continue seeking newways to expand and provide new programs for patrons.“We just try to provide what our patrons enjoy,” Andersonsaid. “And we also try to anticipate what the patrons want andneed.”www.hartington.net
