Wall school moves forward on newbuilding project and sports events

Plans for the Gold Wing RoadRiders Association to hold a get-to-gether in Wall in late August werediscussed at the Wall City Councilmeeting, Feb. 18. According to the nonprofit asso-ciation’s website their motto is,“Friends for Fun, Safety andKnowledge.” Wall Chamber ofCommerce Director Cindy Schulerinformed the council of the group’sintent to meet in Wall. The grouprequested a reduction or waiver ofthe fee to rent the community cen-ter. Schuler noted that this eventcould bring in between 250 and350 people. She said they are amature group of motorcyle own-

ers. Councilman Rick Husteadnoted he had met with some of theassociations representatives andthat they were nice individuals. Schuler said they have beenwonderful to work with and theywant to involve local businesses intheir rally. This could be in theform of a scavenger hunt or simi-lar event. They also want to havea parade toward dusk. Many ofthe motorcycles have decorativelights which are more visible atnight. The council was in favor of themholding their get-together in Wall.They decided they would providehalf of the hall’s rental fee of $150with the chamber or other groups

matching the other half. Finance Officer Carolynn An-derson, Public Works DirectorGarrett Bryan and the council dis-cussed a possible water rate in-crease of $1.50. The amount was last raised in2011. Mayor Marty Huether ques-tioned if there could be other waysof reducing costs so that the ratesdid not have to be increased.Councilman Gale Pattersonagreed, he noted that it seemedthat they were always raising therates on something. One option he thought wasswitching over to meters thatcould be electronically read. Thiswould mean an initial cost, but

savings would be realized eachyear. Bryan noted that Philip usessuch a system and he would visitwith Brian Pearson to see howtheir system works. They will dis-cuss the issue in committee andthen bring it back to the council attheir March meeting. With the formation of the eco-nomic development committee,the board approved Resolution#16-02 so that the mayor and com-mittee could sign documents onbehalf of the city. They approved the overtime ex-emptions addition to the policyhandbook. The addition notes thatappointive officers, swimming

pool personnel and executive, ad-ministrative, professional, com-puter and outside sales employees“are exempt from overtime stan-dards, but may be given ‘personalleave’ as an added benefit, at thediscretion of the city council.” Bryan reported that the curbstop list was completed and is nowlisted street by street versus thenames of residents. The switchmakes it easier for employees tolocate the houses. The council will meet with TylerWalker of Geiger Architecture,Rapid City, March 16 to do a walkthrough of the community center. The board approved meetingminutes from Feb. 4, bills for the

city, fire department, library andcemetery and a building permitfor Veva Wernke. Anderson noted there had notbeen any applications for themaintenance position. The council entered into an ex-ecutive session to discuss person-nel for approximately 40 minutes.Following the session, they ap-proved a motion to hire Andersonas the temporary custodian at thecommunity center for $15.00 anhour. The Wall City Council will meetTuesday, March 8 at 6:30 p.m.

Badlands Bad River regional job fair March 11by Del Bartels

The Badlands Bad River (BBR)Economic Development Partner-ship is nearing completion of itsmore pressing projects.

During a meeting Feb. 15, mem-bers prepared for the upcoming re-gional job fair to be held Friday,March 11, from noon to 6:00 p.m.in the Philip fine arts building.The number of businesses regis-tering to host booths and as spon-sors are increasing.

“That would be a good problemto have – to run out of space,” saidMary Burnett of region busi-nesses. “They all understand thisis the first year and we have nocontrol over who will show up.But, we have to start somewhere.It will grow.”

High school age, college age andolder people are encouraged to in-vestigate current and future jobopenings. Burnett said the job fairis a perfect opportunity to tellyounger people about future jobs,thus about their continuing educa-tion before then. They can look forsummer jobs and also do careerexploration. BBR members re-

lated that people who have movedaway for other jobs have said theywould love to come back.

The job fair will be a public un-veiling of the BBR’s regional pro-motional video, as well as offshootvideos promoting individual com-munities. The Philip Chamber ofCommerce plans to continuallyshow the Philip video to promotethe town to job seekers. A vinylbanner to be used by the commu-nities in the region – Philip, Wall,Kadoka, Midland and Interior –will also be unveiled. Cities arelooking for seasonal swimmingpool lifeguards, counties are look-ing for road department workers,businesses are looking for weldersand interns. Businesses from out-side the region are also welcome.

The new BBR Facebook pagehas already had over 1,300 looks.A brochure for regional promotionis almost ready for mass distribu-tion, and an electronic version willbe viewable on the BBR website. AQuick Response Code (QR code), amachine-readable optical labelcontaining information about theregion, will also be used. A re-

gional advertisement video willeventually be shown in the GemTheatre before the feature movie.All promotional material will in-clude the BBR logo and its Inter-net Web address.

Another regional promotionaltactic is the distribution of freecell phone wallets. These sleevesstick firmly to the back of a cellphone, and can hold the owner’sbusiness cards, credit card, motelkeycard, etc. The wallets will orig-nally contain the BBR businesscard.

The BBR is continuing its ef-forts to acquire a nonprofit 501Cstatus. Also in the works are en-trepreneurship training, a com-munity leadership dinner, and in-formation on a regional businessincubator program. A recent socialmedia class went well, with over30 people attending, and the classmay be repeated.

Meetings are open to all thosewho may be interested. The nextmeeting is Thursday, March 3,starting at 5:30 p.m. The locationhas yet to be announced.

Land assessment in District 30counties has been the subject ofmuch discussion and disagree-ment for many years. Senator JimPeterson currently chairs theAgricultural Land AssessmentImplementation and OversightAdvisory Task Force and was partof the process when then SenatorJim Lintz led the charge to movefrom basing taxes on land valuesto production potential. It wasagreed this change would taketime to determine actual parity.

Two bills, SB 4 and HB 1007,were authored by the Task Forceto fine tune the production modeland soil tables and to add actualuse to the formula. Grassland willnot normally produce as manydollars as cropland yet it is taxedthe same. The committee hasheard testimony from all parties.The Chairman was particularly

appreciative for the informationpresented by Fall River Assessor,Susie Hayes-Simkins. I am on theSenate Agriculture Committeeand upon the recommendation ofthe bill sponsor we voted to tableSB 4 for now and go with HB1007 to move the issue forward.

The committee recognizes theneed for help to do research, accu-mulate data, conduct interviewsand surveys, accurately defineterms identifying soil types andputting everything together intoa well written report. While com-mittee members are conversantwith the issues, they are mem-bers of a part time legislaturewith neither the time nor the ex-pertise to develop the needed in-formation. HB 1007 asks for anappropriation of $175,000 to con-tract with SDSU to conduct re-search concerning the methods

used to determine agriculturalland production capacity and toupdate the data used in soil ta-bles.

Unfortunately this will takesome time but it seems to me themajor issues have been decidedupon and with a well researched,in-depth report, good decisionscan be made to more fairly deter-mine land taxes.

This is an important issue forour number one industry in S.D.,and I want to thank all countycommissioners and especially theFall River Commissioners for tak-ing a leadership role in workingthrough the issues.

Please email or call me forquestions or comments. [email protected]. Cell 605-390-2165

Next week brings Dr. Seuss’sbirthday on March 2nd, whichhas been celebrated with ReadAcross America activities inschools and libraries for nearlytwenty years. The Wall Librarywill be joining in the festivitiesWednesday through Friday,March 2nd – 4th. Stop in any timeto listen to Oh, the Thinks YouCan Think or McElligot’s Pool.After a story, kids can try theirhand at drawing a silly picturelike Dr. Seuss did.

On Friday, March 4, at 9:00a.m., veteran teacher SandyFeller will present a Dr. Seussstory time. One of the books thatshe has chosen is I Wish That IHad Duck Feet, so during crafttime that day, the children will

create animal feet that they canwear. Dr. Seuss wrote “You canfind magic wherever you look. Sitback and relax, all you need is abook.” The magic can be found atthe library, this week and everyweek!

Part of the magic of books is themagic of words. Explore it bychecking out what has been re-cently posted on the library bul-letin board. A new word will befeatured every two or threeweeks. To find out what the cur-rent word is, you will have tocome in and read “Jonny Says.”You will learn a lot and laugheven more.

Book Group members havepicked their next book for discus-sion, Snow Falling on Cedars by

David Guterson. Set on SanPiedro Island, north of PugetSound, its layers of plot include aprotagonist fighting a murdercharge, and memories of injus-tices suffered by the JapaneseAmerican residents of the islandduring World War II. Book Groupis open to any adult, and there isa copy of the book available at thelibrary. The group also hopes tohost local author Sue Hillard inthe next couple of months, whenshe will talk about her new novel,Red White or Blue: The 1875-1876Journey of a Lakota Chief's Sonand an Army Major's Daughter.Hillard’s book is not just foradults, but also for older teens.

Greetings from the 91st Sessionof the SD Legislature from yourDistrict 27 Senator Jim Bradford.

The sixth week of the 91st Leg-islative Session has come to anend and the bills that are ex-pected to bring considerable de-bate are coming to the House andSenate floors. The final day for

legislation to pass out of thehouse of origin is Wednesday,February 24th. That’s known as“cross-over” day and often leads tosome late floor sessions. Still,that’s exactly how the process hasunfolded in my many years ofservice at the legislature and I’mstill hopeful that we will come tosome consensus on important is-sues like school funding and Med-icaid Expansion in these lastthree critical weeks.

The bill to increase the salestax by ½ cents is HB 1182, withthe revenue dedicated to fund K-12 education, specifically teachersalaries, was heard on the Housefloor and received several amend-ments prior to the final vote. Fa-vorable amendments include onethat clearly requires that anyfunding received by a school dis-trict from this new revenuesource must be used for teachersalaries. This has been a concernof some legislators who feel thatthe revenue collected by the one-half cent sales tax increase couldbe absorbed in the school’s gen-eral fund and not get to the teach-ers.

A second amendment will pro-vide that, should the sales madethrough the internet be allowed tobe taxed, that new found revenuewould proportionately be re-funded to the taxpayer throughreduction in sales tax. This salestax opportunity has been soughtafter for over 15 years and stillrests within the United StatesCongress to pass and provide forimplementation. Time alone willtell if South Dakota will get anyshare of the tax that could comefrom internet sales.

A third amendment sets out thedistribution of the increased salestax in percentages as follows: 63%dedicated to teachers’ salaries in

K-12 education, 34% dedicated toproperty tax relief, and 3% dedi-cated to teachers’ salaries in thepost-secondary technical insti-tutes. This will guarantee thatthe amount of property tax reliefrises as the collections of the one-half cent sales tax collections in-crease. The amendment seeks tohelp with the need of the techni-cal institutes in attracting and re-taining teachers. While I have al-ways supported our four technicalinstitutes, this is a k-12 fundingbill. Before it has even passed, weseem to already be in a fight tosend the money to other places.That is not acceptable to me andI look forward to working on thebill if it finally makes it over tothe Senate side.

While HB 1182 as Amendedfailed by one single vote, it will beheard again on Monday, Feb. 22because House members askedfor a motion to reconsider rightafter it failed on Thursday. I re-gret that House member fromDistrict 27, Elizabeth May votedagainst the education fundingbill.

By the time you read this, Ihope the legislation has actuallypassed the House, made the Feb.24 cross-over deadline and madeit to the Senate. The two compan-ion bills which deal with the BlueRibbon Task Force recommenda-tions (SB 131 and 133) passedunanimously through the SenateState Affairs Committee on Fri-day, Feb. 19th. These bills changethe traditional funding formulawhich has been in place for closeto 30 years. As I said before, theselast three weeks will be critical tothe future of South Dakota.

I invite you to contact me withyour questions and concerns. Imay be reached at 605-685-4241or [email protected]

Forest Service to conduct prescribed burnThe Wall Ranger District of the

Buffalo Gap National Grassland isplanning a prescribed burn thisspring in Jackson County as localweather conditions allow. Theburn is located along WhitewaterCreek approximately four milessouth of the town of Cottonwood.County Road 8 (Cottonwood Road)is the western boundary of the

burn unit which is approximately148 acres in size.

The main objectives of the proj-ect are to use fire as a tool to re-duce fuel loading on the unit, re-generate native shrubs and trees,and to improve wildlife habitat fora variety of species.

“We’re very anxious to use fireas a natural tool for improving

wildlife habitat, as well as promot-ing native grasses. We’re alsogoing to take into account allsafety procedures to assure thesafety of the public and our fire-fighters” said Kurt Pindel, WallDistrict Ranger.

In order to ensure that the ob-jectives of the project are met andthat the burn stays inside estab-lished control lines, a very specificset of weather conditions has beenestablished for this project. Theburn will not be ignited unlessweather conditions including tem-perature, wind speed, and humid-ity fall within specific ranges.Control lines have been mowedaround the boundary of the unitand fire retardant foam will beused by engines on the day of theburn to keep the fire within con-trol lines. The burn will be man-aged by personnel from the Ne-braska National Forest andGrasslands, as well as our part-ners from other federal, state, andlocal agencies.

Personnel from the Wall RangerStation will notify adjacentlandowners as well as local lawenforcement agencies, fire depart-ments, and the media prior to thestart of the burn. Smoke may bevisible from Highway 14 and In-terstate 90 and from the commu-nities of Cottonwood, Quinn, andPhilip.

Persons with questions may callthe Wall Ranger District at 279-2125.

Once upon a time…there lived aSuzerain whose only worry in lifewas to dress in elegant clothes.This Suzerain was so busy mis-matching his wardrobe that therest of the kingdom was in sham-bles! Enter the gypsies who, toteach the Suzerain a lesson, de-vise an ingenious plan convincingthe Suzerain that clothes made oftheir “magic thread” is just whatis needed to really distinguish thetownsfolk, for only those worthycan see it. Naturally, everyonechooses to praise the invisiblework of these gypsies in order notto be looked on as fools. Whileparading through town in hisroyal undergarments and invisible

suit, the facade collapses. Theyoung apprentices can’t take itanymore and stop pretending tosee something that is not there.Just because everyone else be-lieves something is true, doesn'tmean it is! In the end, theSuzerain realizes the error of hisways and is able to laugh at him-self and start fresh with thetownsfolk.

Come join this highly entertain-ing, clever retelling of the popularHans Christian Anderson fableabout the pitfalls of vanity andgreed and the outstanding truth ofthe statement, “there are no stu-pid questions” such as “WHEREARE YOUR CLOTHES?”

The performance is the culmi-nation of a unique learning expe-rience for around 50 childrenfrom Wall. This special weeklongevent gives children a chance tolearn what it’s like to take part ina professionally produced stage

musical, from auditions and re-hearsals through the final per-formance. Make plans to attendand take part in the fun! You LookMarvelous!

Nominating petitions preferredBy Dana Hess

Community News Service

It turns out that members of the

South Dakota Senate would rather

pound the pavement with a nominat-

ing petition than pay a filing fee.

At issue on Monday was SB95, a

bill that would allow South Dakota

candidates for U.S. Senate and

House, governor and the Legislature

to submit an election filing fee in lieu

of a nominating petition to get on the

ballot. The filing fee would be equiv-

alent to 1 percent of the salary paid

for that office.The bill’s sponsor, Sen. Ernie

Otten, R-Tea, said he didn’t relish

taking nominating petitions door-to-

door, though he knew that candidates

for the Legislature would need, at

some point, to do just that as they

ran for office. It’s a matter of “how you’re going to

sell yourself to the public,” Otten

said. “This is just a means to an end.”

Sen. Mike Vehle, R-Mitchell, said

using a filing fee rather than nomi-

nating petitions would likely look as

if a candidate was trying to buy his

way into office. The bill allows for

candidates to use either the nominat-

ing petition or the filing fee.

“That is not the way this was de-

signed,” Vehle said. Sen. Bernie Hunhoff, D-Yankton,

noted that 1 percent of legislative paywould equal a $60 filing fee. Hunhoffsaid in some of South Dakota’s ruraldistricts, a candidate might spendthat much on gas just trying to findsomeone to sign his petition.

Hunhoff said a citizen in his dis-trict is interested in running for theLegislature but can’t do it. “Collect-ing signatures is a real barrier forhim,” Hunhoff said. “There’s a dis-ability issue as well.”

The bill was defeated 24-8 withthree members excused.

Pennington County Courant • February 25, 20164

I have to offer up thanks to mymom for writing the news for melast week while I was gone! It ap-pears as though she includesmore humor than I do – maybe I’llhave to work on that! As of lately,I have been trying to catch upfrom being gone for a week, and itseems that the warm weather haseveryone thinking it is spring! Al-though I will take more of the gor-geous weather we have had forthe past few days! We had our community cardparty this week at Cary John-ston’s. I mostly went for the won-derful food and pink slushydrinks – again! Lynn Fields wasthe high card player with a 198,

and poor Deann Barber had arough night … after locking herkeys in the car, she also tookhome the booby prize! Kenneth and Janet Wilson,along with Tracy and Waylon,went to Wall on Saturday to helpIva Eisenbraun celebrate her97th birthday. They then at-tended church in Wall. Janet andthe kids went to Rapid City thisweek to purchase some rugs forTracy’s newly decorated bedroomas well! Philip and MaryKay Wilsonwent to the Twin Cities last week-end to visit Amy and Beth andtheir families, they returnedhome on Monday. Philip Wilson

visited Al Trask and Tyler Wilsonon Saturday. Patrick and LaneWilson came out to Philip andMaryKay’s on Sunday andbrought dinner! John and Jean Linn went tovisit Kent Wilsey’s greenhouse onSaturday. They also attended theWall School Science Fair thisweek to support the kids! Morris Linn and his girls vis-ited Charlotte and Katie Wilsey,Monday afternoon, who were outfrom Rapid City. Shirrise traveledto Union Center a couple daystaking appointments. Fridayfound the Linn’s in Rapid City onerrands after Thursday night con-ferences at WHS. They then at-tended the Lady Eagles basket-ball game vs Hill City Fridaynight. Kassandra spent Saturdayafternoon helping at the TraskVet Clinic.

Wasta resident Terry Schell isone of four Catalyst Good Neigh-bor honorees for 2016. Terry grew up on the familyranch just east of Wasta, went toSchool in Wasta and Wall, thenmoved to the Belle Fourche area. After raising a family there, hereturned to the ranch in 2004 towork with younger brother, Larry. Through the past twelve years,he has been a good and valuableneighbor, appreciated and re-spected in our community andthose surrounding. We look forward to the AnnualCatalyst Good Neighbor Banquetplanned for April but the exactdate is not yet determined. Congratulations, Terry — awell and truly deserved honor. Exact date of banquet andwhen tickets will be available forpurchase will be published afterthe Catalyst Clubs meeting,March 5. A question for any and allWasta history buffs. Have any of you heard of orknow of a man in Wasta’s earlydays who carved diamond willowcanes? What is known about this per-son is: his initials — H.A.; a datehe was in Wasta — 1916. How isthis known? Yes, it was carved onthe cane along with a huntingscene. Quite an intricate carving

featuring a man lying prone withrifle, a dog observing the bear ina tree. Hugh Harty of Owanka is theproud owner but knows nothingof the history of this work of art,but is most interested. His granddad had the cane,purchased for him by Hugh’saunt. If you have any informationabout this treasure, Hugh asksyou to call at 798-2030. He prom-ises to share the information withus for the “Wasta History Book”.Thank you. Checking the calendar, we have“leap day” coming up. Makessense as this is leap year. Whatabout those who are/were born onleap day? Do they celebrate onlyevery four years? Do they pickFeb. 28th or March 1st? Or some-times one and then the other? Well, it’s too much for me toponder just now. I’m grateful the wind has gonewherever the wind goes. Or doesall that motion just stop? How? While Easter is not yet rightaround the corner, it soon will bewith the high rate of speed of thepassing days. I’m ready to thinkdaffodils, tulips and Easter bun-nies! Gardener, neighbor and friend,Hazel happily pointed tulip tipspeeking up through the moist

ground this week. Happy Day! So,do people who live in warm cli-mates where green things arepoking up year round, as happy tosee this evidence of “winter willbe gone and spring really will behere” as we are here in our cli-mate? Hmmm … Another, “I don’tknow, but I would guess probablynot”. My years in California andother warm spots are memoriesover shadowed by the “Wasta Ad-venture”. Just as well, this wayI’m not frustrated by “fuzzy mem-ory”. The Mister Willey has con-vinced the traveling Road Runnerto come by and visit on a dailybasis. Temperature last weekreached 90° — almost! Barb Crawford and Jerry Schellattended the 97th birthday cele-bration of Barb’s mother, IvaEisenbraun, at Wall Drug, Satur-day, Feb. 20. Happy Birthday to avery inspirational woman! Wewish you a year of good healthand filled with good memoriesand an abundant garden! Some “Wastans” gathered atthe river’s old bridge to watch themove through — Quickly! ShaneGreen, Ed Shelton, Billie Schell,Mary Lewis and I were awed andamazed — once again! Happy Trails … Margee andthe still absent Mr. Willey.

Wall lost earlier in theseason to the Irrigators in theWest River Classic but came in ex-cited and confident looking fortheir first true road win of the sea-son. Wall jumped out to a 8-0 leadthanks to two quick three pointbaskets by Senior Rylee Schreiber.Newell used their quickness andintense defense to claw back intothe game with the first quarterending in a 18-18 tie.

With momentum on their side,Newell held a halftime lead of 24-29 but the Eagles came out with astrong third quarter performanceon their own on both ends of thecourt to hold a six point advantagegoing into the fourth quarter.

The end of the game was an ex-citing back and forth affair withoutstanding shooting by bothteams. With just four seconds lefton the clock, the Irrigators sunk a

free throw to take a two pointlead. Cass Lytle received the ballon the left side and drove for aspectacular reach-out lay-up to se-cure the tie. In splitting two de-fenders, he was fouled and went tothe line with .5 seconds remainingon the clock. Cass calmly made hisfree throw to secure the win andimprove the Eagles record to 6-13going into the last week of the sea-son.

Lytle led the Eagles with 18points including going 4-4 at thefree throw line while Allan Mc-Donnell added 12 points and ninerebounds followed by CamdenSawvell with 11 points and eightrebounds and Rylee Schreiberwith a solid 11 points.

More obituaries on page 5ObituariesHarry R. Hauffe

Harry Richard Hauffe, age 83,of Leola passed away Feb. 11,2016, three days shy of his 84thbirthday from natural causes.

Funeral services were held atShriver Funeral Home on Feb. 20,2016. Burial followed in the GreenMound Cemetery, with militarygraveside rites by Roy S. Hisck-man American Legion Post #78 ofLeola.

Pallbearers were Kevin andMark Lapka, Kenny Schafer,Colten and Cayl Carpenter, andHunter Hauffe. Honorary pall-bearers were his classmates fromClass of 1950.

Harry was born on ValentinesDay, Feb. 14, 1932, at the Albertand Alma Hauffe family farmnorth of Leola. He was baptizedand confirmed in St. JamesLutheran Church in Leola.

He attended Leola Grade Schooland Leola High School where heexcelled in basketball, football,and baseball. After graduatingfrom High school in 1950, Harryearned a Scholarship to play foot-ball and enrolled at the Universityof South Dakota in Sept. 1950. Heplayed the position of defensiveend for the USD Coyotes. In Jan.of 1951, Harry enlisted in theUnited States Marine Corp duringthe Korean Conflict. He servedwith the 1st Division in the Ko-rean War and was honorably dis-charged on Jan. 18, 1954. Uponreturning to South Dakota, hecontinued his studies at USD andfootball, and was active in manyclubs and organizations at theUniversity. Harry was a standoutin football, and was later inducted

into the USD Football Hall ofFame. He graduated with a BA inEducation.

Harry married his collegesweetheart Mary ConstanceBergquist of Mitchell, S.D., in1956. They had three children,Talbot 1959, Michael 1960, andHolliann 1964. After playing somefootball in the Canadian FootballLeague for the SaskatchewanRoughriders, Harry was draftedby Vince Lombardi, coach of theNFL’s Green Bay Packers in 1958.The Packer draft class consisted ofmany Hall of Fame players suchas Jim Taylor, Ray Nitske andJerry Kramer. Harry played forthe Green Bay Packers for oneseason. The average starting pro-fessional football player salaryback then was $8,000 per year.

Following his brief pro footballcareer, Harry returned to S.D.,and taught school and coached atWall from 1959-1960. In Jan. of1960, Harry signed a contractwith the Denver Broncos. Harrydecided to forgo playing anymorefootball and in June of 1960,Harry went to work on the TitanMissile Sites near Rapid City, asan Ironworker. He subsequentlypassed his Journeyman Iron-worker’s test in Sept. 1960. TheHauffe Family moved to RapidCity and lived there until 1969.

Harry successfully ran for theposition of Business Manager forIronworkers Local 454 of Casper,Wy. His family moved to Casper in1969. He held that position till1975. Harry was instrumental inestablishing a state-of-the-arttraining facility at the LocalUnion facility in Casper. Count-less young men and women

learned the Ironworker craftthrough the use of this training fa-cility during their Apprenticeship.One of the first such facilities inthe world at the time, that facilityis still in use today.

In Dec. 1975 Harry was ap-pointed by then Ironworkers In-ternational General President,John H. Lyons, as a Union Gen-eral Organizer for the RockyMountain District Council. He at-tended and completed labor man-agement courses at Harvard Uni-versity, in Cambridge, Mass. Forthe next few years, Harry workednot only in the Rocky Mountainarea but at Ironworker Headquar-ters in Washington D.C.

In 1987, Harry was appointedas Chief Director of Organizationfor the Ironworkers Internationaland moved to the Washington,D.C. area.

The goals for Harry’s goldenyears were attained by 1992 whenhe retired and returned to thefamily farm in Leola. There he re-turned to enjoying the pleasuresof outdoor life. He truly enjoyedraising a garden, planting sweetcorn, hunting, fishing, and playinggolf. Although the countryside wasstill covered with productive cropsand livestock, many farmsteadsfrom his youth had vanished. ButHarry still found farm folk wholoved nature and the joy of tillingGod’s earth. They recognized andwelcomed him as the goodhearted,generous person that their prede-cessors had known. Harry kept hisIronworkers Union Membershipactive until 2015 when he finallydecided to become an HonoraryMember of the IronworkersUnion.

Harry was preceded in death byhis wife, Connie; and by his par-ents, Albert and Alma Hauffe.

He is survived by his children:Talbot (Laura) of Cheyenne, Wyo.,Michael (Richaelle) of Marengo,Ill., and Holliann (Bradley) Car-penter of Casper, Wyo. Grandchil-dren: Tiffani McCann (Mike),Ciera and Hunter Hauffe ofMarengo, Colten (Michelle) Car-penter and Cayl Carpenter ofCasper. Sister, Ruth Bonnet of Ab-erdeen; and brother, Paul (Judy)of Sioux Falls.

Always the sportsman, in lieu offlowers, Harry would appreciatecontributions to Ducks Unlimited,or Pheasants Forever, or othersimilar wildlife conservation or-ganizations.
