I was born at home in the Pettapiece District, west of Rapid City. I attended the Little Saskatchewan School then went to Rapid City for high school. From there I worked at various jobs and returned to the farm in 1965, where we still live. I got married to Sharon in 1967 and we have 3 children, Brian, Dayna & Craig. I worked with Cubs and Scouts for 19 years, as a leader, trainer and District Commissioner. I was first elected to Council in 2006 and am now in my second term.

Edward (Ted) Rudneski was born on section 35-15-19 in 1933 in the RM of Saskatchewan. I started school in Basswood. In 1946 we moved to the Maline District and continued my schooling at Weir School. When I quit school, I went out into the work force. In 1957 I took the home farm over. In 1958 I married Ivy Tuttle and we raised a family of three boys and one girl. In 1981 I ran for councillor and won my election. Since then I have had three elections over the years; now I’m on my thirtieth year.
