ea will be well represented in the state legislature this next year as the three candidates chosen to represent the new District 6 are all from Tea. Ernie Otten, Jr. will become the District’s new State Senator. He handily beat out his opponent, Richard Schriever, with 65.43% of the vote. Otten won the race in every single precinct of the district. In the City of Tea, 1369 voters cast their ballot, 871 of them for Otten.

On the Representative side, Republicans Herman Otten and Isaac Latterell also easily beat their Democratic opponents, Michael Christopher Jauron and Joseph Weis. H. Otten and Latterell also prevailed in every precinct in the district. In Tea, H. Otten garnered 931 votes and Latterell, 634. Overall, H. Otten received 5,739 votes, Latterell received 5,000.

District 6 includes the communities of Tea, Harrisburg and Lennox and portions of southern Sioux Falls.

In the Lincoln County Commissioner District 4 race, Mi-

chael Poppens won over Marlyn Jacobson by a vote of 1,797 to 1,432. Poppens will represent Tea, Lennox, and the Townships of Delapre and Perry.

Nationwide, Barack Obama was re-elected to four more years as United States President.

He garnered 303 electoral votes to Mitt Romney’s 206. South Dakota voters supported Romney, with 57.89% voting for the Republican.

In South Dakota, Kristi Noem was returned for another term as the state’s representative in Congress. She defeated Matt Varilek with 57.45% of the vote. The vote in Tea was similar.

Statewide, several issues were on the ballot. Voters approved the retention of Justice Glen A. Severson, with 80% of the voters voting yes.

Two constitutional Amendments failed: Amendment M, regarding certain provisions relating to corporations, and Amendment N, repealing certain reimbursement restrictions for travel by legislators to and from a legislative session. Amendment O passed with 56.77% of the voters voting yes. This amendment

Police chief, officer resign following City Council meeting The City Council held the first of two regular monthly meetings November 5. The meeting was called to order at 7 p.m.

The October 15 minutes were approved with an amendment.

At the last meeting, the council agreed to extend an offer to the school district to share the cost of extending sewer services out to 468th Avenue, which would benefit rural residents in the area as well as create additional sewer options for the district’s new football and soccer concession area.

The amendment clarified that the city’s cost share offer would allow the sewer line to be extended 1,200 feet from the High Point Street lift station to the property line perpendicular to the future concession stand, which is north of the pond and south of the bleachers. The city is considering paying the additional cost to get the extension all the way to Brian Street. Warrants were approved as presented.

Planning and Zoning Administrator Kevin Nissen discussed site plans for two properties.

The first will be in the Kerslake Industrial Park, second addition, where a cabinet company is requesting to build four buildings, two at 10,000 square feet each and two at 7,000 square feet each. The second site plan is for Califan Painting to construct a 12,000 square foot building in the Southwest Industrial Park.

The council approved both site plans.

The council completed the first reading of Ordinance 218.

The ordinance will establish urban and rural service districts and make the annexation process more appealing to rural property owners with undeveloped land.

Currently, when land is annexed by the City of Tea, the property owner is charged the city tax rate, which is higher than the township tax rate they were previously subject to.

After the ordinance is passed, agricultural and undeveloped land that is annexed by Tea will continue to be charged the township rate rather than the city tax rate. Annexed properties will continue to be assessed at the township tax rate until the properties are developed. Once developed, the land will be subject to city tax rates. “It’s a way for Tea to continue to grow” and for rural areas to benefit from Tea Police patrol, City Finance Officer Dawn Murphy said.

Under committee reports, Economic Development Director Jenni White announced that Porter’s Flooring & More will hold an open house and ribbon cutting on Saturday, November 11 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The ribbon cutting ceremony is scheduled at 11:30 a.m.

The council entered executive session at 7:50. Following executive session, Police Chief Brain Ketterhagen and Officer James Klimple resigned.

The next City Council meeting will be held at City Hall on Monday, November 19 at 7 p.m.

TAHS entrepreneurs harvest first batch of Backwoods Honey Two Tea High School juniors, Gunnar Ensz, 17, and Jacob Briney, 16, started their own business, Backwoods Honey, earlier this year.

The boys were inspired by their friend, Weston Parsons, another young beekeeper. “Weston said it was fun and it was interesting to us,” said Ensz.

To get Backwoods Honey started, Briney contributed money earned from a part time job and Ensz used money he had earned by umpiring at baseball and soccer games.

Veterans Day a time to honor, thank vets

BY ERICA GASPAR

V

eterans Day, observed Sunday, November 11 this year, is a time designated to honor and remember all of the veterans that have made countless sacrifices serving our country and ensuring our freedom.

Many of our older vets served in the unpopular Vietnam War. Some soldiers served willingly.

Many were drafted. As military families can confirm, war changes a person forever. Physical wounds can heal, but the emotional distress can last a lifetime.

Local veteran Alan Rops was a 23-year-old grad student when he was drafted. “At the time, no one wanted to go. I just wanted to do my time and get out,” he said. Rops was sent to Vietnam and placed in an Army infantry division. He was told “early and often” to never volunteer for anything in the military, but he chose to volunteer for reconnaissance, which meant he became part of a small, elite group of soldiers that patrolled and explored outside the perimeter that U.S. forces occupied.

He remembers that everyone was connected via radios and that the recon team was able to see what everyone was doing, giving them a “bigger

picture” of the war. Rops says the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars of today aren’t all that different from the Vietnam War; none were popular wars and the military forces were under appreciated.

Technology had a large role in the Vietnam War. It was the first time the public got an upclose view of war every night on their television screens. They didn’t like what they saw.

However, better technology was also becoming available in the medical field, which meant that veterans had a better chance of surviving their battle wounds. Prior to Vietnam, a serious battlefield wound was often a death sentence.

From Vietnam on, wars produced a new category

of vets: the seriously wounded that were successfully patched up and sent home. “You (could) keep them alive, but body parts were missing,” Rops noted.

Another difference between then and now: the National Guard didn’t get deployed overseas, so that was one way to serve your time and still stay within U.S. borders. There weren’t many ways to avoid the draft, Rops said, but joining the Guard was a good alternative if you didn’t want to get deployed. “The Guard didn’t go into Vietnam at all,” Rops said, “But they were deployed in the early 90s during Desert Storm,” and are now deployed regularly.

Veterans Day a time to honor, thank vets ■ VETERANS DAY, from page 1

Rops was in the Army from October of 1968 to August of 1970. When he returned, he taught in Vermillion for a year, then received a letter from the Army demanding that he go to California to help train Guardsmen. “The men being trained were not very enthusiastic. They didn’t think they would ever go to war,” he said.

Rops considers himself lucky to have only had “typical” ailments while he was serving in Vietnam. He was not wounded, but did contract typhus and suffered often with “jungle rot”—a common skin disease in tropical environments—an unpleasant condition endured by many of the soldiers. “It rained all the time and we always had wet feet,” he recalled.

While Rops is able to talk to others about his Vietnam experiences, and often speaks at schools and Memorial Day events, he and other veterans are keenly aware that most of the public will never truly understand what their service time was like, or how to deal with the fallout.

“I was hunting and killing bad guys for 11 months, then discharged,” said Rops. Five days later, he was back in Lennox, somehow supposed to pick up where he left off and live a normal life. Such a sharp “psychological edge is required when in combat” because you always have to be prepared for the worst.

“Emotionally, it wears on you,” he said. “A lot of people say PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) isn’t real, but believe me, it’s real. I’ve been there and I would never be critical of a suspected PTSD case,” Rops said.

Rops has been able to move past his combat time and no longer considers it an everyday issue, but says “it is a big issue for a lot of vets.”

“I’ve been lucky to have lived a ‘pretty normal’ life (after the war),” he said.

“All the physical problems don’t compare to the mental ones, the ones you can’t see until someone acts on it. The technology changes, but the experiences don’t,” Rops said.

Another Vietnam vet, Cliff Wulf, was drafted out of Iowa but

has lived in Lennox for the last 40 years. Wulf was drafted and served in Vietnam from December of 1967 to November of 1968.

One tactic that U.S. forces used to lessen their risk of exposure to enemy attacks was to eliminate potential hiding places in the jungle. Agent Orange, named for the orange bands around the barrels it was kept in, was a herbicide that was sprayed generously over the battlegrounds.

The effects of Agent Orange are still being debated, but the herbicide is known to have caused a host of health problems among service members and their offspring, including ischemic heart disease, several cancers and nerve disorders, Parkinson’s disease, Hodgkin’s disease and type 2 diabetes as well as several other diseases and disorders.

“We were probably exposed to more Agent Orange than we’ll ever know,” Wulf said.

He remembers that troops were removed from an area, which was then sprayed. Troops would return to the area a few days later. “Chemicals don’t disappear overnight, especially in water, and we mostly bathed in the streams,” he said.

Like Rops, Wulf is grateful to have escaped the war with relatively few health problems.

One of his children was born with spina bifida and an incorrectly formed skull. Wulf and his wife, Carol, were relieved that the spina bifida was “not severe enough to cause problems” and that their son’s skull has “corrected itself over time.”

The Wulfs are on an Agent Orange registry and receive annual updates but are “not real impressed with VA care at times” and have often felt that the VA “hasn’t been in much of a hurry,” although the VA seems to have improved over time, the Wulfs say. They also credit the VFW for being “willing to work with vets to get care.”

A lasting health issue that Cliff has had since his time in the service has been tinnitus, a ringing or buzzing in the ears that does not go away. Wulf’s hearing was fine before he was deployed. Then he was assigned to a mortar platoon.

“We never had hearing protection overseas and were definitely

exposed to higher levels of noise than you should be without hearing protection, over and over,” Wulf said. “Even in base camp, we never had hearing protection,” he said.

Today’s veterans are familiar with IEDs (improvised explosive devices). “We didn’t call them IEDs. Back then, they were booby traps,” Wulf said. The booby traps were typically unexploded mortar rounds or bombs that were buried in the road or in the rice paddies and would explode when stepped on or driven over.

It is still difficult for Wulf to share his experiences. He vividly recalls never knowing who to trust. The enemy soldiers, or Viet Cong as they were known, “could be farmers or barbers that would wave hello to you in the daytime” and then “try to attack you at night. They loved nighttime, they were night fighters,” Wulf said.

“Sleep was a rare commodity.

When you did sleep, your ears were always open and one eye was always open,” he recalled.

Wulf’s message to Vietnam vets that continue to struggle: “Seek out other Vietnam vets, visit the memorials.”

Cliff and his wife, Carol, attended the Vietnam War memorial dedication event in Pierre in 2006. It was “like a homecoming that never took place when it should have,” Carol said. “A lot of vets are own their own when they come back” and need help readjusting and “learning how to become civilians again,” she said.

Don McGuire, another Lennox Vietnam vet, was also drafted. He served in the Army from 1965 to 1967. He recalls “brutal monsoons” and said about the only good thing there is to say is that there “was good lobster there.”

It has been a long road for McGuire, who was affected by Agent Orange. Other vets encouraged him to keep returning to the VA and keep digging into his service and health records, especially once he developed high blood pressure and nerve problems. He isn’t able to walk very far and must drag one leg.

McGuire’s high blood pressure was first diagnosed during a mandatory physical right after he was discharged. He has also had problems with blood clots.

McGuire isn’t afraid of much anymore. “I’ve been shot at, what else is there to be afraid of?” he says. But he is frustrated with all the red tape involved in getting the medical care he needs. “Whose responsibility is it to look out for veterans?” he asked.

McGuire had to undergo surgery to clear three of the four arteries near his heart. The fourth artery was deemed too large of a risk to go after. “The doctor said there’s too big of a risk that a clot might break off and go to my brain,” McGuire said.

Agent Orange is known to cause vascular problems, but many vets are unaware of exactly what illnesses are considered “presumptive,” meaning that the government acknowledges that the illnesses are linked to service time and are covered under VA benefits.

Some of McGuire’s frustrations stem from the apparent lack of communication among veterans’ caregivers. “The VA wanted a note from my doctor explaining how my (vascular) issues are related to Agent Orange,” he said, but there is already a known link, “so why would my doctor need to go through that again?”

All of the vets we spoke to agreed that good care and understanding are difficult to come by.

At the very least, they hope that people will attempt to take the time to listen to their stories and help in any way they can, whether it’s volunteering at the VA hospital or contacting local representatives and encouraging better treatment of vets.

Bruce and I just kind of looked at each other as we got out of our seats and headed out onto the dance floor. I had conceded to the fact this was going down and I might as well enjoy it.

As the instructors demonstrated the first move, a figure eight hip move, I just started to laugh. I could not help myself.

Knitting. I know. No big deal, right? In the grand scheme of things, no – not a big deal. But, when I was the same age as Kennedy is today, my Grandma Christine picked up her knitting needles and taught me how to make potholders.

I can remember sitting on her floral couch, right beside her, watching her move those needles quickly and perfectly.

She was so patient with me and showed me step-by-step what to do. The end product didn’t mean so much to me… but it was time spent with her that I later treasured most.

Thank goodness You Tube videos! After watching a couple dozen of them – sometimes over and over and over again, I am knitting again.

I’m not planning to enter anything into the Lincoln County Fair just yet, so all you knitters out there can breathe a sigh of relief! I’m still trying to master “casting on” and the “purl stitch.” But, I’m learning and when I do get this skill down, watch out ladies and gentlemen for county fair entries from Kennedy Konrad!

Thanks to my failure and forgetfulness, she is going to ROCK the potholder category!

Tea Area School District JrK-5

The library has many books and a vast collection of Viborg newspapers. People can come there to do research. From the library one descends to the basement on new stairs that are easy to use. Most of the basement has undergone improvements; the new rooms under the addition provide display space.

After a tour of an hour or so, they treated us to coffee and homemade cookies. Three people from their group were there to spend time with us sharing ideas about museums and talking about ‘old times.’

We did not see the rural

school, which was moved to a lot across the street. It has a basement for more displays. That will be for the next tour.

A local man, hired with some grant money, is working on genealogy information for local families.

We found that they do not have any cataloging on a computer. All of their cataloging is on paper. The Tea society has much to do in cataloging and labeling. Remember to come to the museum Sunday, November 11, from 1-3 p.m. for a tour, a cup of coffee, and a sweet treat.

Trinity Lutheran Church to host annual Christmas Tea Large gifts, small gifts, ancient gifts, practical gifts, trendy gifts, simple gifts, thoughtful gifts, gifts of time, gifts of hope, the greatest gift(s). Themed tables will emphasize the theme of the 2012 Annual Christmas Tea, “A Cup of Christmas Giving.”

Tylar Dormaier, a Music Major at South Dakota State University, will set the atmosphere with his musical gifts. Pastor Jessica (Jess) Daum, Associate Pastor serving Trinity Lutheran Church, will use her gift of communication as she talks about

Christmas giving.

The event will take place Saturday, December 8th from 2-4 p.m. at Trinity Lutheran Church, located at 335 W. 1st Street in Tea. This is a wonderful opportunity to invite family members, friends, neighbors, club members, or “gift someone” with a surprise pre-Christmas outing!

Tickets are $10 per person and must be ordered in advance.

Historical Society, museum to host open house Nov. 11 The Tea Area Historical Society and museum will hold a joint birthday and open house celebration Sunday, November 11 from 1 to 3 p.m. at the museum, one block west and one block north of the Cubby’s convenience store on Main.

The public is invited to attend. The museum will be open for tours and refreshments will be served. TAHS will celebrate its 13th anniversary and the

museum will celebrate its ninth.

The Historical Society’s first meeting took place at Trinity in November of 1999 with over 30 people present.

Their first project was a community calendar. Later, they sold afghans and then the “Time For Tea” book. Fund-raisers also include the pancake breakfast during Teapot Days and the specken/decken supper for New Year’s eve. Some of the accom-

plishments of the organization include: an annual pancake feed during Teapot days, the purchase of a large grill for use by organizations in Tea, purchasing new lights and display cases for the museum, painting the building, entering all Teapot Day parades, crowning of Ma and Pa Teapot, sponsoring many Little League teams, maintaining and giving tours of the museum and hosting guest speakers.

Services to be held for Terry Patzwald, 52 Terry L. Patzwald, 52, died Wednesday, October 31, 2012, in Sioux Falls, SD. A visitation with a viewing will begin at 12 p.m. Sunday, November 4, at Miller West Funeral Chapel, 6200 W. 41st St. The family will be present from 2-4 p.m. A Liturgical Wake Service will be held at 4 p.m. A Memorial Mass will be held at 10:30 a.m. Monday, November 5 at St. Michael Catholic Church. There will be no viewing at the church.

Terry Lee Patzwald, the son

of Robert “Bob” and Marjean (Paulson) Patzwald was born October 17, 1960 in DeSmet, SD. He graduated from Washington High School in 1978.

Terry began a career at McDonald’s during high school, and worked his way into a management position.

On September 26, 1997, Terry was united in marriage with Cathy Scholten at The Cathedral of St. Joseph in Sioux Falls. From this union came three sons, Dylan (13), Evan (10), and Caden (7). After

his McDonald’s job, Terry was involved with various business ventures. His most important venture, however, was becoming a stay-at-home dad, taking care of his children.

Terry was a member of St. Michael Church. He enjoyed camping, music, his phone, and watching NASCAR and football with his boys. Terry also liked attending his sons’ school activities and gatherings with family and friends.

Grateful for having shared his life are three children, Dylan, Evan, and Caden Patzwald, all of Sioux Falls; two brothers, Dan Patzwald and his wife, Sherry, of Tea, SD, Scott Patzwald and his wife, Rita, of Tea, SD; and a host of other relatives and friends.

He was preceded in death by his parents and a brother, Randy.

getting stung.”

The secret to avoiding stings quickly became apparent. “You’ve got to smoke them out to calm them down and disorient them,” Ensz said. Ensz and Briney will cover the bees to keep them warm through the winter and will begin their second season early next summer.

“We just have to check on them once a week or every other week,” Briney said, which leaves the young entrepreneurs plenty of time to keep up with after school activities, homework and sports.

Ensz is a running back for the Tea Titans football team.

“We plan to continue the business even after we leave for college,” Ensz said. For now, Backwoods Honey’s founders are also its only employees, but their friend and mentor Weston Parsons is always willing to help out when needed.

The boys started with two hives and have approximately 20,000 bees. They have plans to expand next year and hope to add an additional 20 hives to their

collection.

Now that the initial hives have started producing honey and the boys have had a successful first harvest, Backwoods Honey is ready for market. The boys say their honey is “a lot better than the stuff in the store.”

Ensz and Briney are excited to share their product with the community and have at least fifty jars ready for sale. Their honey is available in “very full” sevenounce jars for $12 each. Orders can be placed by phone at 2130187 or by email at backwoodshoney@ymail.com.

Atkins to celebrate 90th birthday The Atkins family will be holding an open house to celebrate the 90th birthday of Marguerite Atkins on Sunday, Nov. 11 from 2-4 p.m. at St. Nicholas Catholic Church, 140 W.

TAHS graduate presents recital at UND TAHS entrepreneurs harvest first batch of Backwoods Honey senior Brianna Larsen, a 2008 graduThe boys’ parents also invested in the business.

There were “a lot of expenses,” the boys explained, including the hives, bees and a honey extractor.

The business was official in May of this year, but the honey businesses usually get an earlier start. “We got started late and didn’t have as good of a year as we had hoped, but it was still a good (first) year,” Briney said.

Once the hives are set up, the magic of honey making is left to the bees. It usually takes about three months for a new hive to become established and begin producing honey.

Backwoods Honey was able to start harvesting honey by mid-September this year. The extraction process involves using a honey extractor, filtering the honey and pouring in into jars.

The boys “got stung a lot,” in the beginning, they said. Briney and Ensz weren’t sure if they were allergic to bee stings prior to starting their business, they just “took the risk” and “tried to avoid

An up-close guide to area entertainment

Denzel Washington doesn’t disappoint in “Flight”

BY ERICA GASPAR

An ordinary day. That’s how a pilot wanted to describe the events of a particular day.

Just one problem. Most people wouldn’t consider a plane crash ordinary.

When something terrible happens, people want an explanation. They want to hold someone responsible. Responsibility is something that pilot William “Whip” Whitaker has been avoiding for a long time.

Initially, Whitaker is hailed as a hero. The plane started falling apart in the middle of the flight. He can’t be held responsible for that. He is a flawed human being, but saved many lives that day.

It is human nature to want to hide our imperfections. But when an imperfection leads to a major catastrophe, the search for answers begins.

A variety of problems

played a part in the accident and, after all, some things are best described as ‘acts of God.’ A routine National Transportation Safety Board investigation into the cause of the crash almost clears Whitaker of any wrongdoing.

Almost.

Turns out, the worst day was also the best day for Whitaker. The

superstar pilot was living large and flying high, in more ways than one.

He was finally forced to come to terms with the consequences of addiction.

Throughout the film, it is unclear if Whitaker’s judgment was impaired by alcohol and drugs during the accident.

Lie after lie is told, until courtesy of imdb.com the house of cards finally falls.

Denzel Washington, a Hollywood fa-

vorite, makes this role his own and doesn’t disappoint. Other cast members include Kelly Reilly as another addict and love interest of Captain Whitaker, Don Cheadle as Whitaker’s attorney, and John Goodman as the oddball drug dealer.

“Flight” opened in theaters November 2 and is the latest project for director Robert Zemeckis. Zemeckis is also known for a host of other hit movies, including the “Back to the Future” series, “Forrest Gump,” “Cast Away,” “The Polar Express,” and “Beowulf.”

He called the movie’s $30 million price tag a “shoestring budget” and I suppose it is, given the ever-rising costs involved to produce movies with top notch actors and effects these days.

The cast gives a strong performance and I wouldn’t be surprised if the movie is a

front runner during the next awards season.

AARP salutes veterans with free driver safety course

BY JULIE E. LEE V I C E P R E S I D E N T & N AT I O N A L DIRECTOR A A R P D R I V E R S A F E T Y, E D U C A TION AND OUTREACH

Navigating today’s roads can be challenging for all drivers, but military veterans face particular challenges behind the wheel.

Studies have shown that veterans are more likely to be involved in car crashes than other drivers.

In fact, traffic accidents are the leading cause of death for military personnel in their first year after returning home from war.

Reviewing the driving records of tens of thousands of troops, USAA discovered that service members were involved in at-fault accidents 13 percent more frequently after deployments. Although it’s not clear why veterans are more prone to accidents than their non-military peers, most experts agree that it has to do with stress and trauma they experienced while deployed.

As a “salute” to veterans, here are six tips for safer driving: S: Seat belts save thousands of lives each year. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Association (NHTSA), properly worn seat belts reduce the risk of fatal injury to frontseat passenger occupants by 45 percent. Wear your seat belt at all times, even during short trips to the grocery store or doctor’s office.

A: Adverse weather can be challenging to maneuver. During or after rainfall, be sure to slow down and increase your following distance. In the fall months, be extra cautious of fallen leaves after rainfall, as they can present slippery and dangerous driving conditions. Avoid puddles, as the water can obscure your vision, impair your brakes and cause you to hydroplane and lose control of your vehicle.

L: Lose the distractions. Distracted driving, which consists of anything that takes your hands off the steering wheel, your eyes off the road or your mind off the task at hand, contributes to al-

most 8,000 vehicle crashes each day, according to AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety. Avoid talking on your cell phone—even with a hands-free headset—as well as texting, eating, adjusting the radio and other distracting activities.

U: Understand new car technology, like adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning systems, rearview or backup camera, and blind spot detection systems. New car technology isn’t just hip—it’s saving lives.

And even cooler than the technologies themselves is the fact that they’re no longer reserved for luxury-car owners. Consumer demand for new safety features is so high that many mainstream manufacturers have made (or will be making) them available on more moderately priced vehicles. When shopping for your next car, consider buying a vehicle with these features.

T: A three-second following distance will help you spot possible driving hazards and give you time to react. For instance, if your car is traveling at 60 mph, in three seconds your vehicle will have traveled more than 250 feet—that’s just under the length of a football field. To achieve the three-second spacing between you and the car ahead of you, when that car passes a landmark, such as a tree or an exit sign, start counting. If you pass the same spot before you count to three, you’re driving too close to the other car.

E: Enroll in the AARP Driver Safety course to brush up on your behind-the-wheel skills. It’s a great way to assess your own driving, learn new regulations, and feel more confident on the road. Plus, the November classroom course is free to all current and former military personnel and their families, regardless of age!

The free course is available by downloading a coupon at www. aarp.org/veterans. The coupon must be presented to the host organization or the volunteer instructor at the time of registra-

tion or payment.

With courses offered in communities throughout South Dakota, veterans should have little difficulty finding a class that’s conveniently located. But classes are limited in size and fill up quickly; registrations will be accepted on a first-come, firstserved basis. Visit AARP Driver Safety’s Classroom Course Locator at www.aarp.org/findacourse or call 1-888-AARP-NOW (1888-227-7669) to find a course.

As an alternative to the classroom course, veterans and their families are invited to take the AARP Driver Safety online course at 50 percent off the normal course price. Online participants will learn the same valuable tips and information from the classroom course, but they can take it at their own pace from their home.

For the online course discount, visit www.aarpdriversafety.org and enter the promotion code “Veterans” during registration and checkout. The promotion code is valid from Nov. 1 through Nov. 30, 2012. Participants will have 60 days to complete the online course.
