Burial will be at Kennebec Cemetery, Come Join Us Free Sweets Treats Friday 8 pm By Ba Ciscoli Northern Hills Bureau it has been more than three years since Denver architect Todd Crowe purchased the former Lown Mercantile building on the northwest corner of Fifth and Illinois streets in Spearfish, and only recently has work begun on the renovation process. Crowe said he just recently managed to secure title to the structure from the previous owner, Gordon Campbell.
next spring, the building should be a contributing member of the community," Crowe said after facelift work began on the structure, which was built in 1893 from Sundance sandstone by William B. Lown. Crowe said he is still visiting with potential tenants but wanted to "make sure they ere kindred spir. its with the As those tenants and the interior spaces are defined, Crowe said, work will proceed in those aress, When he initially bought the building, Crowe said, a building that age, it is kind of like opening a Pandora's Box. You don't know what you are He now says, "Pretty much whet you see is what you get.
Thankfully, the building has withstood the elements." He said the beginning of the restoration work has stirred a lot of interest from potential tenants, "but we want to make sure the building isn't compromised, do expect to have it occupied and open by next Along with the interior and exterior structural renovation work, Crowe also received approval from the city to do a curb enhancement on the Fifth and Illinois sidewalks adjacent to the building. "The approval is in place for those sidewalk improvements," Crowe said. "They will extend out and define the parking and will include landscaping and a sculpture," the architect said. Historic site a done 'We have a little bit of an accounting I Sen. Johnson says accounting glitch complicated but not fatal, By Bill Harlan Journai Staff Writer The Minuteman National Historic Site is a done deal, except for a small glitch.
Wat have a little bit of an accounting problem," Sen. Tim Johnson, said in an interview Thursday, Johnson also met with Air Force and National Park Service officials Thursday in Wall to discuss how best to make a missile silo and a launch control center the 379th addition to the national parks system. The accounting problem is complicated but not fatal to the project, Johnson said. Congress appropriated $5 million Sen. Tim Johnson, in an interview Thursday for the project for fiscal 1999, but Congress did not the project until fiscal 2000.
Normally, authorizations come before appropriations, but not always. Now the Air Force has to figure out a way to spend in fiscal 2000 the $5 million Congress appropriated in 1999. Johnson said Air Force officials have assured him they want to do that. They just haven't figured out how to do it. That's why Johnson described the fi.
nancing as "an almost done deal." The missile-site appropriation came before the authorization because the state's congressional delegation was trying to move fast. If the sites had not been given to the Park Service by a deadline, the Air Force A worker begins renovation on the Lown Mercantile building in downtown Spearfish.

If the Air Force can't do that Johnson calls this "the worst case scenario" Congress could either find the money in the fiscal 2000 budget or add it to the fiscal 2001 appropriations, which could delay the project.
Even with no delays, Johnson said, it will be three years before the first visitors can tour the sites. Construction could begin as early as next summer. The Air Force will add fire-protection systems to the sites, insert a full-scale mock Minuteman I missile into the silo, install security systems and rig the silo's launch door so Russian satellites can see it isn't really loaded. Preliminary plans also call for a visitor's center that would cost $576,000. The National Park Service will operate the site as part of Badlands National Park, of S.
Dakotans obese But state's rate of obesity growing slower than others. SIOUX FALLS (AP) An estimated 15 percent of adults are classified as obese in the state, although South Dakota's rate of obesity is growing more slowly than in other states. Only Delaware and Arizona recorded smaller percentage weight gains in the 1990s than South Dakota, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in a study issued this fall. According to the report, the number of obese people in South Dakota grew by 20 percent from 1991 to 1998. Those who are classified as obese are at least 30 percent heavier than their ideal weight.

"We're just ourrounded by opportunities to eat rich, tasty, inexpensive foods. We are not surrounded by the opportunity to exercise." Nationally, 60 percent of adults report they are not getting the recommended 30 minutes per day of moderate physical activity, according to a 1996 U.S. Surgeon General's Report on Physical Activity and Health. In a similar study in South Dakota that year, 26 percent of residents reported they engaged in regular physical activity, according to the Department of 'All summer we use the excuse it's too hot, and then all winter we use the excuse it's too Rebar Showmake, nutritionist, University of South Dakota School of Macioine Health.

Eating more fruits and vegetables would help, nutritionists say, But many South Dakotans fall short of the recommended five fruits or vegetables a day, In the South Dakota Health Department's 1996 survey on the health behaviors of state residents, 24 percent said they ate five or more fruits and vegetables a day. "It's hard for me to compete trying to sell fruits and vegetables to somebody when they get two burgers and two fries for two bucks," Shewmake said.

The highest percentage weight increase occurred among 18- to 29-year-olds, Kristin Biskeborn, the state nutritionist, said limited funds have been available to help residents develop better eating habits. But her office hopes to make a difference in children. "The biggest predictor of obesity at any age is being obese at an earlier age," Biskeborn said.
The state works with maternal -child health programs and schools to distribute information about healthy lifestyles. Officials also are compiling and analyzing statistics collected from schools to get an accurate picture of how many school-age children are overweight, Biskeborn says. "The key is trying to incorporate more physical activity into our daily Biskeborn said. "It takes time out of our busy lives to exercise. It takes time to do things together as families.
