- Pipeline brings changes The summer of 1981 brought some new folks from down South called pi- pelines to Aberdeen. They worked on the coal slurry pipeline which stretches from Alaska to Illinois. The Milwaukee Railroad Company also brought change in the lives of many South Dakotans. They sold out to Burl- ington Northern Railroad Company in December. Pre-Christmas decorating activities by Governor Janklow in the state capitol were opposed by the ACLU who did not want a nativity scene being dis- played there. Aberdonians have seen women in leadership roles in both city and state politics. Mrs. Donna McCrea. Brown County States Attorney, and Mrs. Del Janusz. Aberdeen mayor, are the first two women to hold these particular positions in Brown County. Mrs. McCrea has led a crack down on house parties, keggers. drugs, and un- deraged drinkers in the city. She also took part in the investigation of five Aberdeen policeman who were sus- pended from their jobs on drug related charges. 4 Introduction
