  The New Herrick News                                 "Hi" from Herrick, So.Dak.
What's New From 1997 to 2007, the New Herrick News sent all the news that was good news out to 325 subscribers in 38 states, who still called Herrick "home".  The NHN featured local news items, old photos and newsworthy vintage articles.

If an old photo surfaces or an interesting news item occurs, we'll post it here.

Rosebud Electric works hard to return our electric lines to pre-Christmas-blizzard status

Poles are UP

Poles are up between Herrick and Burke.  This photo was taken a few miles from Burke, looking toward Herrick.  

 

Within days, lines are up on the poles.  This photo is taken from the same spot in the road, but facing Burke this time.
It took a lot of man hours, but they proceeded quickly.  

Here you can see the support cables that hold the pole in place, but no electric wires are strung here yet.

 

Look Closely
This is tough to see, but it's interesting.  The big vertical line is an REA pole.  The two smaller vertical lines on either side of it are steel posts for the fence.  The horizontal wires just above the fence are our new REA lines, tied at the base of this pole.  It was nearing evening, and work stopped here for the day.
