<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The Lead Deadwood School District met briefly on 2-09-16, toured the Deadwood School Building and issued new "Code Words" to throw the 1924 Deadwood School Building under the bus. Superintendent LEIKVOLD along with KOSTERS, and KARPINEN want "BETTER EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENT FOR CHILDREN" AND "BETTER BUILDING INFRASTRUCTURE". THESE ARE ACTUALLY CODE WORDS FOR GETTING RID OF THE 1924 DEADWOOD SCHOOL BUILDING!! They agreed and are going to hire consultants to study four options. The first three options are smoke screen ideas that involve Deadwood location and the fourth is their desired "move everthing to Lead".</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The 1924 Deadwood School Building that has stood for years as fully functioning school. It was emasculated in 1972 and become part of the Lead Deadwood School District centered in Lead. Now it's final death knell is close! The old 1886 portion of the school was lost to arson fire in 1985. The whole 1924 brick school building was completely reburished and that time.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Mr. Burger who served 36 years as Superintendent of the Deadwood School District was saddened by this 1972 merger and confided to his family that it would be the end of the Deadwood School. All the school records in his office safe were doomed to be misplaced or lost. Little did Mr. Burger know the extent of Deadwood School artifacts like trophies/awards and anything representing Deadwood School like auditorium chairs and the famous pine tree stage backdrop.</span></div>

<span style="color: yellow; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b style="background-color: black;">LEAD 02-09-2016 — Following a short discussion at Tuesday’s Lead-Deadwood School Board meeting and a facility tour of the Lead-Deadwood Elementary School in Deadwood recently, the Lead-Deadwood School Board will follow a recommendation from schools superintendent Dr. Dan Leikvold to bring in a consulting firm to conduct a feasibility study on the school district’s facilities and how Lead-Deadwood Elementary School fits into that long-term picture.</b></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12.0048px; line-height: 15.006px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 18px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: yellow; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b style="background-color: black;">Leikvold said that considering Principal Tim Kosters’ desire for a better educational environment for children, and building maintenance supervisor Wayne Karpinen’s desire for better building infrastructure, a long-term discussion regarding the facility needs to start.</b></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-size: 12.0036px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 15.0045px; margin: 0px; orphans: auto; outline: 0px; padding: 5px 5px 18px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: yellow; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b style="background-color: black;">“During the facilities tour of the Deadwood building, several issues and concerns regarding the building that is almost 95 years old arose,” Leikvold said. “Although, there isn’t a whole lot of consensus on what should be done. The way I see it, there are four options, and we need a whole lot more data, a whole lot more information, and will seek a lot more community input before moving forward on any of this.”</b></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-size: 12.0036px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 15.0045px; margin: 0px; orphans: auto; outline: 0px; padding: 5px 5px 18px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: yellow; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b style="background-color: black;">The four options presented were: one, continue with status quo.</b></span></div>

<span style="color: yellow; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b style="background-color: black;">“Looking at the infrastructure of the building in Deadwood, we could expand the classroom footprints, look at the cafeteria, there is $300,000 budgeted for this fiscal year and $400,000 for next in capital outlay, and this would not entail a complete overhaul,” Leikvold said.</b></span></div>

<span style="color: yellow; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b style="background-color: black;">Option two would entail committing to a significant overhaul of the building.</b></span></div>

<span style="color: yellow; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b style="background-color: black;">“This would entail a significant amount of money,” Leikvold said. “Millions of dollars.”</b></span></div>

<span style="color: yellow; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b style="background-color: black;">Option three would be to abandon the building and look for a new spot in Deadwood to build a new building.</b></span></div>

<span style="color: yellow; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b style="background-color: black;">Or option four, to enhance the footprint of the Lead campus and move the elementary school to Lead.</b></span></div>

<span style="color: yellow; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b style="background-color: black;">Leikvold then suggested the district hire a firm to conduct a study of the two campuses.</b></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-size: 12.0036px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 15.0045px; margin: 0px; orphans: auto; outline: 0px; padding: 5px 5px 18px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: yellow; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b style="background-color: black;">“There are companies that do this, that will come in and tell us what we need to do and what we need in terms of efficiencies,” Leikvold said.</b></span></div>

<span style="color: yellow; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b style="background-color: black;">Leikvold suggested that the district interview a couple of firms and move forward with the selection process and hire from there. </b></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: yellow; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Dick, when you invited me to write about the creamery my grandfather operated in Deadwood in the early 1900s, I hesitated because I know so little about it. I remember that, after my grandmother died and we moved into her house on Terrace Street in 1946, there were a few boxes full of old receipts and bills from the creamery, but that was it. No pictures or anything of much interest.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: yellow; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: yellow; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: black;">Gradually, I became more aware that my grandfather Alfred D. Sears had once run something called a creamery -- I remember my dad showing my brother Rich and me where it had been, at 771 Upper Main (near the present "armory building"). I didn't know what a "creamery" was, or what made it different from a dairy. Later I learned that, back in the day, "dairy" butter was sold by the farm wives who made it by hand; in the 1860s, butter factories, or "creameries," began producing butter in mechanized factories in the East. </span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: yellow; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The Deadwood Public Library has microfilm of old editions of the Deadwood Daily Pioneer, some of which carried ads for my grandfather's Elgin System Creamery in Deadwood. The creamery was affiliated with The Elgin Butter Company of Elgin, Illinois, which had developed a factory system of butter making in the 1870s and gradually expanded westward.</span></div>

With their two-year old son (Alfred Richards Sears) in tow, they left behind Josephine's extended family in Fremont, arriving in Deadwood around 1899 or 1900 to begin a new life.</span><br />

<span style="color: yellow; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><i style="background-color: black;">This creamery, the largest in the Black Hills, which is owned by A. D. Sears, is worthy of special mention. It has a capacity of 2,000 pounds of butter per day. It is now making from 1,000 to 1,200 pounds per day, and is increasing fast. Five people are employed in the work and the cream is brought mainly from nine gathering stations in Nebraska, from 200 to 400 miles distant, and shipped in by express. . . . The butter is sold in every town in the Black Hills and shipment has been made as far east as New York City.<br clear="none" /><br clear="none" />Mr. Sears also manufactures ice cream, with a rapidly increasing trade, and does a large poultry and egg business, the poultry being kept alive and utilized as trade demands. The principal jobbing business of the Hills in eggs is done by this creamery, which also conducts a wholesale trade in cream.</i></span></blockquote>

<span style="background-color: black; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; text-align: start;"><span style="color: yellow;">The creamery grew, too, and by 1908 employed a dozen workers -- but that year the Alfred Sears family suffered a major blow when their little girl Katharine died at birth. The next year they sold the creamery and moved back to Fremont, taking the little girl's body with them for reburial. As close as they had become to Deadwood and the Hills, it was time to go back to Jo's home and the support of her extended family. </span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: black; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; text-align: start;"><span style="color: yellow;">The creamery was then bought by the Beatrice Creamery Company, which later became known as Meadow Gold and was eventually taken over by Borden's.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: yellow; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="text-align: start;">By 1919, after finishing a construction project for the Northwestern in Chadron, the Sears family decided it was time to return to the Hills and to Deadwood, and Alfred took over the creamery for a second time. </span><span style="text-align: start;"> </span>But his health soon began to fail and he passed away; I don't know what became of the creamery after that. My memories are from a later time, of going out on cold mornings to find cardboard caps raised out of their bottles on columns of frozen milk, a time when dairies such as Kelly's and Gaughn's delivered right to the door.</span></div>

<span style="color: yellow; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: black;">My grandmother chose to stay on in Deadwood in the home on Terrace Street until her own death in 1944, enjoying dinners and bridge parties with old friends like Edna Ford (an 1893 DHS graduate), Maude Dennee Ogden (who came with her family to Deadwood in 1876), Grace McGahey (wife of Adams Museum curator D. M. McGahey), Mabel DeMouth Hartley and, <u>everybody's favorite first grade teacher, Olive Rae ("Dottie") Smith</u>. </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: yellow;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Early 20th Century was the heyday of railroads, and travelers to Deadwood had a choice: the </span><i style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Fremont, Elkhorn and Missouri Valley Line</i><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">, which reached Deadwood in December 1890, or its competitor the</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> </span><i id="yui_3_16_0_1_1447086884937_25892" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Grand Island and Wyoming Central,</i><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">that finished its own line to Deadwood just one month later. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: yellow;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: black; color: yellow;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The families of many of our schoolmates would have arrived on the same railroads -- maybe in the same cars -- later known as the</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> </span><i style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Chicago and North Western</i><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">, and the</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> </span><i style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Burlington</i><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">. No one then would have anticipated that the age of railroads was ending, and that our generation would be the last to ride the old steam powered passenger trains, like the</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> </span><i style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Burlington</i><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">that my family and I took when we moved from Fremont to Deadwood in 1946.</span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: yellow;">1876 was an extraordinary year in the Black Hills. Discovery of mineral treasure opened the door to a deluge of exploration, immigration, and settlement that would change the landscape forever. Deadwood, at first just a series of mining camps downstream from the mother lode, soon became the commercial and social hub of the Black Hills’ universe.</span><br />
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: yellow;"> Not every mining endeavor would fulfill its expectations. This was the case for a small party of gold prospectors led by John Brennan. After months of fruitless toil high in Palmer Gulch, beneath the shadow of Harney Peak, still in the grip of a Dakota winter, a more expansive plan developed. Brennan recognized the need for a central location, a town that would connect thriving Deadwood and the surrounding mining and timber camps with each other and with other cities. Brennan envisioned a “new Denver”- a “gateway” in the foothills, close to clean water and good grass and fertile ground, easily accessible by road and rail. A town could be developed and commerce established.</span><br />
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: yellow;"> In February of 1876 Brennan and his party descended to a spot in the foothills, where they pitched camp alongside Rapid Creek, in the shelter of a prominent rocky cliff. The next day another small party joined them. Using Brennan’s compass, Sam Scott, a seasoned land surveyor, surveyed a townsite. William Martin named it Rapid City, “Rapid” for the waterway, and “City”, in anticipation of its importance to the Black Hills and its prospect for prosperity, and a “city” was born.</span><br />
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: yellow;"> Here there was no mining, no particular mineral treasure. It was all about “location.” The good grass, ideal for grazing livestock and resting oxen, would earn the town the nickname “Hay Camp”. The level route through Centennial Valley made for easy access to Deadwood and points north. Points east and south were similarly convenient. The rocky cliff became the signpost and Rapid City would indeed become the Gateway to the Black Hills.</span><br />
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: yellow;"> Commerce began to flow between the Hills towns. John Brennan became Rapid City’s first mayor, and started one of the first hotels. Sam Scott jumped right into the real estate business. William (Billy) Nuttall, another of the founders, and a young man with a taste for the wilder side of life, headed for Deadwood, where he applied his entrepreneurial skills to the theater business, starting by buying the Bella Union theater and saloon.</span><br />
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: yellow;"> Deadwood merchants like grocerymen Hermann and Treber, and Jacob Goldberg, and dealers in liquors and cigars, Harris Franklin and Ben Baer, set up satellite wholesale houses for their popular merchandise in Rapid City. Although Brennan and Scott set down roots, Tom Ferguson, like most of Rapid City’s original founders, left. Some headed for Deadwood, still hoping to find their bonanza in the northern Hills.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: yellow; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i><b>Fans and followers of Nina McIntire</b> describe the ease with which she performs on the piano as 'child's play' could often be taken literally. This talented artist and performer, born and raised in St. Petersburg was playing her first songs on the piano almost before she could walk. This extraordinary musical talent certainly did not go unnoticed, when, at the tender age of four she took up the violin, the instrument which accompanied her during her professional musical studies in Moscow and marked the beginning of a seemingly endless successful musical career.</i></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: yellow; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>At the age of 24 she completed her degree in Master of the Fine Arts at the Tchaikovsky Conservatory in Moscow and soon became an accomplished and extremely sought-after violin soloist, giving concerts world-wide, particularly in Japan, Mexico and many parts of Europe. As a member of several prestigious chamber music ensembles she has also made her mark in the music industry.</i></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: yellow; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>Her love for the piano has never waned and she has recently been very active on the international music scene as a pianist, presenting her latest project 'Ivory Fantasy'- a fascinating combination of classical music and her own compositions arranged in a revolutionary modern style, integrating a variety of musical genres such as ragtime, jazz, pop and blues. The popularity of this project is already reflected in the extremely successful concerts in Finland, Russia, Germany and the United States.</i></span></div>

<span style="color: yellow; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="line-height: 18.3999996185303px; white-space: pre-wrap;">As a fellow Deadwood High School 1959 classmate and friend of Marlin and Marge Lindstrom Janas, it is with great pleasure and pride that I submit this article about these two very successful DHS alumni and, in particular, the recent honor bestowed upon Marlin.
Marlin Janas, Deadwood High School Class of 1959, was inducted into the Lead-Deadwood High School Hall of Fame in a special ceremony in Lead, Saturday, January 10, 2015.
Being influenced by the right people at the right time and lots of hard work launched Marlin on a career path which included setting athletic records in high school to a full paid athletic scholarship to Adams State College in Colorado. Son Bill Janas attending his father’s induction ceremony addressed the committee by stating “While Marlin was in College, he continued to excel in athletics and was further challenged by the advice of a well-respected Deadwood High School Coach, Glen Burgess who told him '</span><i style="line-height: 18.3999996185303px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Marlin, you stick with it and finish college. You will love being a teacher and coach . . . and if you love what you do, you will never dread going to work a day in your life.'</i><span style="line-height: 18.3999996185303px; white-space: pre-wrap;"> He found Coach Burgess’ words to be true, and that advice led to the most exciting and rewarding life’s work that he could ever have hoped for."</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: yellow; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18.3999996185303px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="line-height: 18.3999996185303px; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: yellow; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="line-height: 18.3999996185303px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VHnL-8vTtU4/VMF5goPhMUI/AAAAAAAAHg4/zFAd_8Ib438/s1600/DHS%2BIMAGE.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VHnL-8vTtU4/VMF5goPhMUI/AAAAAAAAHg4/zFAd_8Ib438/s1600/DHS%2BIMAGE.jpg" height="190" width="200" /></a></span></span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: black; color: yellow; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 18.3999996185303px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Meeting during their Freshman year at DHS, teamwork became an early part of Marlin and Margie’s lives. Seeing in him his ability to reach his full potential, Margie, an honor student, became one of Marlin’s biggest supporters and encouragers. While enrolled in the same college, they married and had two children. Balancing parenthood and rigorous college studies gives a small glimpse at their tenuous strength and commitment. They both graduated college in four years with Margie going on to a full 33-year teaching career. Marlin continued to pursue his career in teaching, coaching and school administration. Their sports loving family produced a son and three grandsons who all have excelled in numerous sports. The achievements of both Marlin and Margie Janas are testimony to the excellent foundation for future success received at Deadwood High School.</span><br />
<span style="color: yellow; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="line-height: 18.3999996185303px; white-space: pre-wrap;">
Marlin’s stellar record setting athletic career includes 5 DHS records which were still standing when Deadwood merged with the Lead Schools in 1972. In college he set more track records, one record not broken for another 11 years. He coached track at Del Norte, Colorado for 14 years with his team being champions 9 of those years and runner up the other 5 years. Teaching, coaching, and setting athletic records were but a small portion of the many accomplishments of Marlin Janas. He eventually went into school administration and spent many years as a principal and then as Superintendent of Schools in Del Norte, Colorado.
Eighteen years after retirement he was called back to Del Norte to view a bronze plaque with his picture upon it installed at the entrance of the track and football stadium with the following inscription:
“</span><i style="line-height: 18.3999996185303px; white-space: pre-wrap;">In honor of Marlin Janas for over 40 years of service to the Del Norte School District as teacher, principal, coach, superintendent of schools, and school board member. The lessons he taught about generosity, passion, high expectations and hard work have inspired numerous Del Norte students throughout the years to recognize their potential and ultimately realize it.</i><span style="line-height: 18.3999996185303px; white-space: pre-wrap;">”
This was the first time Del Norte had given an honor like this. Marlin adamantly believes the great life he has enjoyed was given to him by God.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: yellow; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="line-height: 18.3999996185303px; white-space: pre-wrap;">The super-achieving Janas’ story does not end here. It is of significance I mention that in 1987 Margie was chosen Teacher of the Year for the San Luis Valley Schools in Colorado which is comprised of 13 schools. Thereafter, she received honorable mention for the entire state of Colorado for Teacher of the Year.

<span style="color: yellow; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="line-height: 18.3999996185303px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Both Margie and Marlin are quick to acknowledge they are privileged to have had such excellent administrators, faculty, coaches, and staff at Deadwood High School.</span></span>
