Wasta rest area revitalization plan

`The South Dakota Departmentof Transportation and Depart-ment of Tourism are seeking pub-lic comments on a proposed planto update and revitalize the state’sinterstate rest areas.

Earlier this year, a task forcevisited each of the state’s restareas to study the condition, func-tionality and accessibility of thefacilities and have proposed athree to five year improvementplan, which is available on theSDDOT website at http://www.sddot.com/resources/reports/Inter-stateRestAreaFinalReport.pdf.

Currently, there are 21 restareas located along Interstates 29and 90 in South Dakota, with 13currently functioning as staffedinformation centers during thesummer months.

Major elements of the plan call

for reconstructing the rest areasat the I-90 Minnesota/SouthDakota border (Valley Springs)and the I-29 Iowa/South Dakotaborder (Homestead) as welcomecenters, and adding additionalspace to the I-29 rest area nearthe North Dakota border (Wilmot)to include a welcome center. Whenthe welcome centers at the inter-state borders become operational,the staffed information centers atother rest areas will be closed.

“The rest areas at our bordersare likely to be the first impres-sion a traveler has of SouthDakota,” said Jim Hagen, secre-tary of tourism. “I appreciate thetime and effort the task forcespent visiting each rest area tocome up with a plan to betterserve our citizens and visitors atthese locations.”

Other elements of the plan in-clude remodeling or upgrading therest areas at Wasta, Belvidere,Presho, White Lake and Salem onI-90 and Ward Road and GlacialLakes on I-29. Upgrades will ad-dress Americans with DisabilitiesAct accessibility needs as well asan updated security camera sys-tem. It is proposed to close the restareas at Tilford on I-90 near Stur-gis and at Hidewood on I-29 nearWatertown leaving the parkingareas functional.

“Providing a safe and efficientinfrastructure is one of our toppriorities and the state’s restareas are an integral part of that,”says Darin Bergquist, secretary oftransportation. “Safety rest areaswere designed with parking tooffer a motorist a place to rest, usethe restroom, stretch and rejuve-

nate.”Written comments on the pro-

posed rest area revitalization plancan be provided via email to dot-generalinfo@state.sd.us or mailedto Darin Bergquist, SecretarySouth Dakota Department ofTransportation, 700 East Broad-way Ave., Pierre, SD 57501-2586.

Interview with Shane O’Connell(Reprinted with permission from

the PRCA ProRodeo Sports News.)Bareback rider SHANE O’CON-

NELL, 20, has put together quitea rookie season. He currently sitssecond in the PRCA/ResistolRookie Standings, and is 24th inthe Aug. 29 WEATHER GUARD®PRCA World Standings. TheRapid City, S.D., cowboy is hopingthe hot streak he’s been on willcontinue as he makes a push to bein the top 15 by the end of the sea-son.

You recently split the win inOgden, Utah, with Tim O’Connell.Are you two related in any way?Shane: We’re not related, but I amactually traveling with him a littlebit right now. At the beginning ofthe season I was asked that ques-tion quite a bit, and some an-nouncers even said I was fromIowa. I just met Tim in the pasttwo years while I’ve been on mypermit. My usual partner, An-thony Thomas, was hurt, so Ijumped in Tim’s rig.

You’re 28th ??? in the worldstandings. What were your ex-pectations coming into thisseason, and are you going tomake a push for Las Vegas thefinal two months?

Shane: Coming into the seasonI wanted to win the rookie title,but Clayton Biglow has had a verygood season and I’m trying tocatch up to him. Now, with abouttwo months left in the season, I’mstarting to ride better and makemy push late, so hopefully I can beat the NFR. I’ve had that on mymind all season, and now I’m get-ting a sniff of it. I need to finishstrong.

You won the South Dakotahigh school bareback ridingtitle three straight years, andsplit the 2013 National HighSchool Finals Rodeo title withClayton Biglow. How long haveyou known bareback ridingwould be your best event?

Shane: It’s something that’sbeen in my whole life. I rode bullsa lot growing up, but it’s beenmore than a year since I’ve gotten

wrestling and I liked it because –just like bareback riding – it’s youout there competing on your own.I never could quite win the statetitle, but I was top four every timeI went to state. I was all-state infootball and led the team in tack-les for two seasons, and I think Iset the school record for sacks in aseason.

Who is the least fashionableperson you know?

Shane: My dad, Jiggs. He wearsa blue jean jacket, blue shirt anda pair of Wranglers every day. Myhigh school team’s color was red,so everybody in the crowd wouldbe wearing red, except for my dad.He’d be in blue, every time. Thatwill never change.

Who would play you in amovie about yourself?

Shane: Clint Eastwood. He’s acowboy and he lays down the law.He doesn’t take any crap, andthat’s how I am, too.

In an all-you-can-eat buffet,what are you going for rightaway?

Shane: I’m going for the primerib. For sides, I like baked beansand mashed potatoes. That’s aranch meal right there. I live bymyself, and I have a freezer full ofbeef, so if I’m by myself, I’m eatingsteak and beans like six out of 10times.

What’s your favorite app onyour phone?

Shane: Snapchat. When you’retraveling down the road and havea few guys together in the rig, itcan result in some pretty funnySnapchats. But I don’t use any ofthe filters on there.

What would your entrancemusic be?

Shane: I used to listen to “SweetHome Alabama” before I rodewhen I was younger. But now, Ialso like any kind of rock music.

When you were growing up,which cowboy did you pretendto be in the practice arena?

Shane: My dad always told me Iwas built like Kelly Timberman,so that’s who I looked up to a bit.

on one. I’ve been focusing on bare-back riding, and it’s coming to-gether. I’ve been watching ColeElshere, who hasn’t been on a bullin a long time, start riding againto qualify for the all-around andit’s fired me up. Maybe I’ll try todo both eventually.

You’ve often worn pink shirtswhen you ride. Does that haveany meaning?

Shane: My mom, Ann, has hadbreast cancer twice, so I alwayspack a pink shirt to wear on ToughEnough To Wear Pink night. Thispast winter she had chemo everyFriday, so I always wore pink onFridays for her. She’s doing greatnow. When we were in Deadwood(S.D., at the end of July) we stayedat my parents’ house, which isabout 20 minutes away, and momcooked us breakfast.

You won a round and fin-ished second in the average atthe 2015 Permit Members of theYear Challenge in Las Vegas.What was it like to ride inVegas right before the WNFRstarted?

Shane: It was outstanding. Iwas 84 on my first horse there,and ended up second overall. Iwon a cool, new black hat from Re-sistol, so I went and got it shapedup and wore it around Vegas. Wewent to the NFR one night, andthat was a blast. The atmospherewas amazing.

In your opinion, what makesbareback riding the most de-manding event in rodeo?

Shane: I’m not taking anythingaway from bronc riding or bull rid-ing, because they’re just as tough,but you get on so many horses,and a lot of them can really jerk itout of you if you aren’t ahead ofthem. You dang sure have to stayhealthy and be in shape to be ableto ride bareback horses. But some-times the best cure for being soreis getting on a good bucking horse.

You played linebacker andwrestled in high school. Whichwas your best secondary sport?

Shane: I was a pretty good foot-ball player, but I was better at

Fifteen years ago I lived in ashoebox apartment in New YorkCity’s Lower East Side. It was aneighborhood transitioning fromnot-so-nice to VERY nice. Every-day as I walked from my apart-ment to the little preschool whereI taught, I would pass new storesand restaurants preparing to openfor business. There were upscalesushi restaurants, tiny, jewel-boxbakeries, cozy tea shops, andclothing stores where the residentdesigners sat stitching in cornersbeside the cash register.

One of the new stores was filledentirely with yarn. Floor to ceilingshelves were stacked with thestuff — a tweedy cornflower bluewas jammed next to a shimmerylime green, which in turn lay nextto a bulky charcoal gray. Therewere literally thousands of skeinsof yarn, each shouting with colorand texture, warm and glowinglike a sunset from every season atonce.

It was early fall, the slim treeslining the avenues were justbarely tipped with red and yellow,the air carrying a little nip be-neath the city’s heat. I knew howto knit, but not well. I’d startedseveral scarves, and never fin-ished any of them. I’d lose interestor move house, and somehow thescarf would disappear. Enteringthat yarn store, I began to feel theitch. I wanted to make a scarf — abeautiful scarf — a Christmaspresent for my mother.

So, the second time I went in, Iforced myself to stay until I’dpicked something. I finally settledon a handspun yarn, dyed inshades of magenta and ochre. Itwas a dense wool, and seemed

strong and warm, exactly whatmy mother would need for a coldMinnesota morning. It was alsowildly expensive, and my handsshook a little as I handed over thebills from my thin wallet.

I brought the wool back to myapartment, along with a set oflarge wooden needles, and got towork. I wanted the scarf to bewide, and long; long enough so mymother could wrap it around herneck as many times as shewanted. My father had died thewinter before, and I kept imagin-ing my mom, warm and cozy withthat big scarf. I wanted it to bewide enough and long enough tokeep the cold at bay. I wanted it tobe wide enough and long enoughto comfort her when it seemednothing else could.

I knit every day after work, andduring my lunch break. I had soonknit myself through the first skeinof yarn, and the scarf couldn’twrap around my neck even once. Iwent back to the shop for anotherskein. And another. And another.I bought the last ball of that yarnleft in the shop before I flew home,and I came to the final few inchesof it as we taxied on the runway inMinneapolis. The scarf was done.All in all, it was the most expen-sive gift I’d ever bought anyone,but I was sure it would be perfect.It wasn’t. In the candlelight of ourChristmas Eve gift exchange, thescarf glowed like rubies andamber, but when my mother put itaround her neck it looked morelike a sad hybrid between a scarfand a coat, too big to be the for-mer, not big enough to be the lat-ter. It was wide alright — itspanned the space from her neck

to mid-back, but looked strangeand lumpy from my beginner's er-ratic knitting, dwarfing my poormother beneath its rough weight.“I love it!” my mother said. “It’sperfect.”

I wasn’t around to see if sheever wore the scarf, but when Imoved back a few years later, Ifound it neatly folded at the backof a closet. I was a much betterknitter by then, and I took thescarf back, carefully unravelingevery stitch till it lay in a giantpurple and orange pile at my feet.I re-knit it, and when I was done,returned it to my mother, who stillwears it through the coldest daysof winter.

When I finished re-knitting,however, I was left with a largeball of excess yarn. That ball ofyarn has moved with me every-where since -- from Minneapolis toMaine, and back again, and thenacross the wide prairie before set-tling, finally, in western SouthDakota.

It feels like fall suddenly. Thetips of the leaves in the windbreakare just starting to turn, and thereis a nip in the air beneath theprairie’s heat. Yesterday, I cast onthe first stitches of that last ball ofyarn. With it I plan to make a tiny,woolen bonnet, because our familyis expecting the best possibleChristmas present this year. Itwill be the kind of bonnet a babygirl, born in the first days of win-ter, will need to travel home fromthe hospital. Home, where hergrandma, visiting all the way fromMinnesota, will be waiting togreet her new granddaughter, thesame bright colors keeping themboth warm.

This week’s library news re-quires you to use your imagina-tion, just as the surfing frogs inlast Friday’s story, Surf ’s Up,imagined themselves having ad-ventures with Moby Dick’s Cap-tain Ahab. The story timers usedtheir imaginations, and you musttoo, because Miss Theresa was sobusy during the Summer ReadingIce Cream and Awards Party,scooping ice cream, handing outawards and prizes, and distribut-ing cookies and craft projects,that she did not snap a photo ofthe summer’s All-Star Readers.

So imagine this group of All-Star Readers receiving their cer-tificates and prizes: Aaron, Aidan,Alexis, Kobe, Makayla, Justin,Jordan, Austan, Lexi, Daltan,Westan, Emmet, Ethan, Graysenand Macee. Imagine adult All-Star Readers Aimee and Sheri inthe back row. All-Star Readerswho couldn’t make the party werealso applauded – Brenda, Blair,Cameron, Sondra, Harvey,Charon, Diane, Sophie, Carsten,Breanna, Gwen, Emmy, Johnny,Lucy, Karol, Louis, Samantha,Brodi, Carter, Logan andMavrick. Now imagine the de-lighted faces at the party, and thedelighted voices on the phone, asprize recipients were told of theirwinnings.

Kobe Kier and Gwen Mc-Connell won Kindle Fire tablets,

Harvey Allen won the Razor 360Flash Rider, and Nora Dinger,Daltan Kjerstad and BrendaCarmichael won Amazon gift cer-tificates. Winners of a choice of t-shirts, toys, or books were JordanLeonard, Macee Paulsen, WestanKjerstad, Emmet Dinger, Saman-tha Rancour, Karol Patterson andAimee Paulsen. All the other All-Star Readers won a prize of theirchoice from the prize vault.

In addition to honoring thereaders, donors and supporters ofthe Challenge were thanked.Those who made prizes, rewards,and snacks possible with dona-tions are Eastern National atMinuteman Missile National His-toric Site, Girl Scout Troop 75104,Megan Hoffman of Hired HandsMassage, Wall Common Cents,Wall Dairy Queen, Wall DrugStore, Wall Food Center and WallSubway. Supporters and volun-teers who helped make it all hap-pen were Mike Anderson, CindySchuler and the Chamber of Com-merce, Carolynn Anderson andthe City of Wall, First InterstateBank, Sheri Heinzelman and herhelpers Carmen and Kora, LindaHiltner, Ann Clark and the Pen-nington County Courant, AlexisStephan, Kelli Sundall, the WallAfter School Program and theWall City Works Department.Presenters who made the weeklyprograms amazing were Laeton

Anderson, Raedon Anderson,Talon Anderson, Ava Dinger,Sandy Feller, Charon Geigle,Dani Herring, Emilee Pauley,Trista Reinert, BriannaSchreiber, Alexis Stephan andSierra Wilson.

The Summer Reading Chal-lenge may be over, but any All-Star Readers who just didn’t geta chance to bring in a readingrecord may do so through this Fri-day, September 2. The library hascertificates and coupons for freetreats waiting for them.

Coming up next week forgrownups, don’t miss the chanceto meet and talk with authorShobha Rao, Thursday, Septem-ber 8, from 6:00 – 7:00 p.m. Therewill be a discussion of her shortstory, “Kavitha and Mustafa,” setat the time of the partition of Pak-istan from India, which resultedin much hardship as Hindus wereforced to live only in India, andMuslims only in Pakistan. Do notexpect a happy ending, but youwill see parallels to the currentrefugee crises in the Middle Eastand Africa. It should be an inter-esting and thought-provokingevening. For a copy of the shortstory, contact the library. Rao haswon great acclaim, and she is nowwriting a novel under contract toa major publisher, with the sameeditor who worked with KathrynStockett on The Help.

The Great South DakotaGet-Together

Summer activities and vaca-tions are coming to an end andpractices for school-related eventshave begun. But there’s one finalgathering to attend before sum-mer is truly over – the SouthDakota State Fair, which runsfrom Sept. 1 to Sept. 5 in Huron.

This is the 131st year of thegreat South Dakota get-togetherand this year’s theme is “Thrills,Squeals and Ferris Wheels.” At-tendance, revenue and campernumbers all showed increaseslast year. With this year’s fair pro-viding an excellent mix of newevents and fair favorites, we hopeto see increases again this year.

My sister and I were 4-H mem-bers growing up and we alwayswere hopeful of exhibiting at theState Fair. My sister showed adairy cow that earned her a pur-ple ribbon. One year, I gave ademonstration on how to run anaudio cassette tape player, whichwas considered new technology atthe time. Members of 4-H stillparticipate in the dairy show,demonstrations and many otherproject areas during the fair.

Some new activities at theSouth Dakota State Fair this yearare cheese sculpting, a ranch

rodeo, team penning, the DoleCanned Fruit Dessert BakingCompetition and a ‘Fair’CycledArt Competition.

A public Dedication CelebrationCeremony for the new Nordby Ex-hibit Hall for 4-H, Youth & Com-munity will be held Sunday, Sept.4, at 4 p.m. Thanks to a very gen-erous contribution from the lateEarl Nordby together with sup-port from many other individuals,businesses and organizations,this facility replaces the oldClover Hall building and will bein use by 4-H members during thefair.

The State Fair is part of theSouth Dakota Department ofAgriculture, but other state agen-cies participate in the fair as well.As you walk about the groundsand through the buildings, youwill see Game, Fish and Parks,Tourism, Health and others. TheDepartment of Public Safety isholding “Drive Safe SD Day” Sun-day, Sept. 4, in the Day SponsorTent where fairgoers can playgames, register for prizes, watchHighway Patrol police dogdemonstrations and learn moreabout the department’s agencies.

Another exhibitor is Driver Li-censing and from 9 a.m. to noonSunday in the Day Sponsor Tent,

you will even have an opportunityto renew your driver’s license.Bring in two documents showingproof of physical address (such asvehicle registration and vehicleinsurance) plus the actual driverlicense you want to renew. Staffwill be there to help you.

Again this year, there will ofcourse be tasty fair food, carnivalrides, games and unique activi-ties. Enjoy bull riding or one ofthe concerts in the grandstandeach evening. No matter your in-terest, you’re bound to have agood time.

BHFCU prepares students for the school year

Black Hills Federal CreditUnion is helping more than 10,000students head back to school withthe supplies they need for a suc-cessful school year this August.

Through generous donationsfrom credit union members, thecommunity and area businesses,Black Hills Federal Credit Unionwas able to distribute more than100,000 supplies to area schoolsas part of their 20th AnnualSchool Supply Drive. Heidi Bul-man, business development officerat BHFCU, said those supplieswill lessen the financial burdenmany families in the area faceduring the back-to-school season.

“Over the past few years, theprice of school supplies has sky-

each school’s need.“For the last 20 years, BHFCU

has coordinated the School SupplyDrive and we plan on doing it formany years to come,” Brown said.“We have a vested interest in see-ing our children succeed and be-come the leaders of our commu-nity in the future.”

Representatives from areaschools were on hand to collecttheir school’s individual suppliesduring BHFCU’s “Load the Bus”celebration on Thursday and Fri-day. Teachers will distribute thosesupplies in the coming weeks asstudents head back to school, Bul-man said.

The Elm Springs community isstill being blessed with our latesummer rains. The land is muddyand the grass is actually growingagain. The best part, I got out ofhauling hay this weekend! Our sympathy goes to theNachtigall family as they lostDaren this week. The Wilsey’s made many tripsto Rapid City for various reasons.On Tuesday, Jo rode with CaryJohnston to Sturgis for her firstday of In-service with the MeadeSchool District. On Wednesday,Jo’s mom had surgery, it wentwell, but there were minor compli-cations afterward. Prayers wouldbe appreciated. Thursday, was theopen house at the Elm SpringsSchool where Jo will be the para-professional (aka teacher’s aide).Kent had another successful dayat the farmer’s market. He evencame home with another vendor’sextra peaches, so that was Sun-day’s project – canning peaches. Laken Linn got to spend the af-ternoon with Aunt Charlotte inRapid City on Sunday. They en-joyed the park, the outdoor cam-pus, Rapid Creek, and book read-ing in a hammock. The Linn’s metup with the Jim and Jen Mageefamily from Glenrock, Wyo., tocamp near Rapid City on Wednes-day. Swimming, mini golf, androasting marshmallows were afew things on the agenda. TheLinn ladies took in Storybook Is-land on Thursday. The Linn’shosted Gene and Marsha Pluthfor supper on Thursday night.Cary Johnston visited the Linn’s

Friday night. Clyde Arneson wasa coffee visitor on Saturday. Mor-ris visited at JW and Dara Wrach-ford’s, Saturday. Larry and Peggy Gravatt wentto Rapid City and Sturgis on Fri-day to keep appointments and runerrands. They have to get to townat least once a week, but it usuallyseems like it ends up being morethan that. On Saturday, they metson Brad, daughter-in-law Jes,grandsons Greyson and Indy,along with daughter Amber,granddaughter Abbey, and grand-son Steele in Rapid for supper.Amber and Abbey were in townfrom Denver to run a race withJes and Steele up at Custer. Afterrunning 19 miles, they were stillstanding and had an appetite!Larry and Peggy took Abbey oneof the ranch kittens that she tookback to Denver with her. She wasstill deciding on a name whenthey left. It was nice to have atleast half of the crew together.Grandson Spencer was in SiouxFalls playing in the first StevensHigh School football game of theyear! Tyler Wilson along with LouieBrunson, Mark, Mick and TomTrask worked Tyler’s calves onFriday. I got home just in time toeat the delicious meal that Shelia,Celine and Tracy prepared. Weended the evening with watchingAmerican Sniper and having asleepover because it was toomuddy for people to get up thehill. Before the movie, I success-fully bribed the boys to change mytire with Copenhagen! And yes, I

already had a flat tire in my firstweek of teaching! When I men-tioned that I had a flat tire on theway to work, many people asked,“oh, what did you do?” My re-sponse, was “umm, change it.”They were pleasantly surprisedthat some girls can change theirown tire and don’t have to call atow truck or a man to come do itfor them! One of the best thingsabout growing up in this commu-nity, is we know how to get thingsdone! The Pat Trask family hosted abirthday party for Joe and GraceAnn on Saturday night. Unfortu-nately both Joe and Grace wereunable to attend – but the rest ofus had a great time! We hadsteaks and s’mores and every-thing in between. The night wasended with karaoke! On Sunday, Kris Weinberger,and his kids, Emma andCameron, came out to go fishingwith Mick, Levi, and Annie Trask,and Tyler, Tracy, and Waylon Wil-son. The rest of us enjoyed the airconditioning on a hot Sunday af-ternoon! Shelia returned homefrom Gregory where they had anOutdoor Women board meeting,sleepover, and trap shoot. She did-n’t tell us what they did on Satur-day night, but I imagine there area few empty wine bottles with 10women staying together! The Elm Springs School startsschool this week – so why don’t wesend up a prayer for them to havea great school year! As always,have a great week and God Bless!

We had rain on Fri-day — woke up to rain that morn-ing but quit before nine o’clock.But we got more that evening. I’mcertain everyone enjoyed seeingthe moisture. Yards all over townhave greened up. There are thosethat are kept lush green all thetime, but now most everyone hasa green yard. Good for pasturesand fields too. All those sunflow-ers growing need it — some fieldsare just starting to bloom and oth-ers are bright yellow from fenceline to fence line. Have a good week! To remove worry wrinkles, getyour faith lifted. ~Anonymous

We are welcomed yearly at thecabin of Dick Cordes, yes, Dickhas family connections throughhis dad, to the Elm SpringsCordes family. Dick, daughterMary Lucas, grandkids Adam andNicole Long make everyone wel-come. Old cars (and drivers tomatch) saw a good and apprecia-tive crowd of about thirty friends.Oldest car, or “vintage” winner,was a 1931 Model A Ford — NICEand the owner put it on a trailerand brought it all the way fromCortez, Colo. He would have got-ten the “came the farthest award”if we handed out awards. Thenewest was a 1962 Thunderbirddriven from Iowa who is brother ofthe early Ford Model A owner! Monday afternoon was W.T.L.meeting day at Joan Fenner-Sut-ton’s home in Rapid City. Attend-ing president Jean Linn, Treas-urer Kellie Linn, Lorraine Ven-huizen, Leslie Deering (Jean’sniece) and Dorothy Anderson’sdaughter, Claudia Weis, Rose-Mary Trask and me. Based onClub by-laws, Joan served “twoedible treats” and oh my, werethose treats edible! Chocolatecake made from mom, Ruth Deer-ing’s best recipe and ice creamwith chocolate topping! This group of women does and

has done such a variety of goodworks for the community of ElmSprings, as they wear hats of“many colors” that it’s a “feelgood” to just “hang out” with themas I do! Monday evening, an im-promptu, spontaneous spur of themoment, birthday party waspulled together by Mary Lewis atthe Community Hall for Gay Had-lock! A good excuse for a potluck sup-per, good food and best wishes toGay on her day. Those who joinedin the fun: Dick Hadlock, yes, ofcourse; Norm Current, Jamy andMavrick Williams, Barb Craw-ford, Jerry Schell, Ken andDanene Skillingstad, Laura JeanGunn, a friend of Norm’s, Jerry(from Michigan), Lloyd andMargee Willey and of course partyplanner Mary Lewis. Wednesday morning, we heardthe ambulance come into townand then heard and saw the Life-flight helicopter. Daren Nachtigallwas taken to Rapid City Regional.Sadly enough, Daren passed awaySaturday morning of a stroke. Our

thoughts and prayers are with thefamily. Daren was a good man anddid so love his family, and theyhim. Thursday afternoon, the WastaV.F.D. were called to a fire at theSundquist’s place. Darn, that’s thesecond one this summer. We weresorry to hear about that bad luck.The fire destroyed baled hay aswell as grass. Good fresh garden veggies fromgood neighbors — Hazel andMary.

First S.D. death of West Nile VirusThe Department of Health has

reported that a Yankton Countyresident died of West Nile virus(WNV) associated causes, thestate's first WNV related death thisseason. The individual was in the80 to 89 age group.

To date this season, SouthDakota has reported 74 cases ofhuman WNV; 12 percent have hadthe most serious neuroinvasive dis-ease while 88 percent have hadWNV fever. Twenty-five percent ofcases have been hospitalized.There has also been a WNV-posi-tive horse in Butte County.

"This unfortunate death is a re-minder for us all that, while theZika virus is grabbing headlines,West Nile is the mosquito-bornevirus of concern here in SouthDakota,” said Lon Kightlinger,state epidemiologist for the depart-ment. "We strongly encourage peo-ple to protect themselves and theirfamilies by using repellent andavoiding the outdoors when mos-quitoes are most active."

Kightlinger said South Dakotanscan reduce their risk with the fol-lowing precautions:

•Apply mosquito repellents(DEET, picaridin, oil of lemon eu-calyptus or IR3535) to clothes andexposed skin. Limit exposure bywearing pants and long sleeves inthe evening.

•Limit time outdoors from duskto midnight when culex mosqui-toes, the primary carrier of WNV inSouth Dakota, are most active.

•Get rid of standing water thatgives mosquitoes a place to breed.Regularly change water in birdbaths, outside pet dishes, and drainwater from flower pots and gardencontainers.

•Support local mosquito controlefforts.

These precautions are especiallyimportant for people at high riskfor WNV – those over 50, pregnantwomen, transplant patients, indi-viduals with diabetes or high bloodpressure, and those with a historyof alcohol abuse. People with se-vere or unusual headaches shouldsee their physicians.

to be honest with yourself as youseek to discover what works andwhat doesn't work. Right now, take out a sheet ofpaper and write down your top tenlife priorities. Post them in a placewhere you can look at them every-day for one week. Ask yourselfquestions, such as these: •Am I happy? •Am I balanced? •Is what I am doing working forme? •What's my next step? Once you have established yourpriorities, take time to updatethem on a regular basis. Typethem up and share them withyour family, and ask someonewhom you respect and trust, such

as a family member, close friendor a colleague, to hold you ac-countable to consistently livingout your priorities. Remember the goal is to keepyour life balanced in each of yourpriorities. If you will do this, itwon't be long and you will see thatyou are truly learning to masteryour priorities.

Mastering PersonalPriorities

Do you ever feel as if your life isspinning out of control? Maybethings haven't gotten quite thatbad yet, but you do know thatthings are definitely out of whackand you feel confused, dazed andwondering why you haven't beenexperiencing the success you hadhoped for. Believe me when I saythat there have been many timesover the years that I have felt thisway. Whenever I have analyzedthings to try to discover the "who,what, when, where, why and how"of the situation, I have nearly al-ways come to the realization thatmy priorities were out of kilter. I need to be honest here and saythis has always been one of thetoughest areas of my life to get ahold of and to master. I share withyou, not because I think I have"arrived" in this area, but becauseI understand the importance ofsetting my priorities and keepingthem right and know that it issomething I must work at dili-gently and consistently. Thinking about and working onpriorities is not something you doonly once a year; once a week isn'teven often enough. The key tomaintaining the right priorities inlife is to keep them forefront inyour mind everyday. It's a daily re-sponsibility only you can attend toand no one else can do it for you. If, after setting your priorities,things still do not appear to beworking in your life, take anotherlook at your priorities. Quite pos-sibly, they may not be in theproper order, or maybe you areleaving something out, or trying toinclude something that reallyshould not be a priority at all. Atthis point you will need to gettougher on yourself. You will need

Coach AndersonThe Wall Eagle Football team

traveled to Kimball, last Friday,for their season opener. The Ea-gles had high expectations after acouple weeks of great practice andlooked to open with a win. The Ea-gles were quick to find out thatthe Wildcats were very much im-proved from a year ago and by theend of the night fell 0-37.

The Wildcats boasted a big,quick, and physical team. Toomuch for the Eagles. Offensively,the Wildcats took almost the en-tire offensive package away. Theystruggled to get anything going allnight and never found the end-zone. There were moments whenthe Eagles showed some life butnever did put a drive together. Itwas encouraging to see the teamkeep pressing. It wasn’t from alack of effort. On defense, theysaw much of the same thing. TheWildcats dominated the line of

scrimmage all night by playingpower football. They ran rightthrough the heart of the defensefor most of the damage.

Leading the Eagles on offensewere Cass Lytle with four catchesfor 45 yards. He also led the de-fense with 10 tackles. Big JacobLinn was right behind him witheight tackles from his nose guardposition. Allan McDonnell playedwell also as he had some nice runsand completed a pass to Lytle.Carter Elshere was eyed all nightby the Wildcat defense and foughthard for every yard he got. Com-bined he had 66 yards of combinedoffense.

The first game is always hardguessing what the opponent maydo. Now we know what we need towork on and probably will not seesuch a big and physical team therest of the regular season. The Ea-gles will again guess what Lymanwill do this week. They didn’t play

last Friday so the Eagles will be inthe same boat. Lyman was able towatch us so they have an advan-tage. That’s ok! The Eagles are al-ways up for a challenge. They willregroup and prepare for the nextgame with great desire.

Stats on the game all seasonwill be on maxpreps.com. If inter-ested check them out there.

The variance request on a building per-mit for David Eisenbraun was tabled dueto a possible change in the location forbuilding the house. Eisenbraun will ad-

dress the council when he knows a defi-nite location.

Fire Chief John Kitterman explained tothe council how the proposal for payingthe person who sends out the bills to col-lect for services provided by the fire de-partment would work. Whoever is send-ing out the bills for services provided bythe fire department; whether it is for fight-ing fires, traffic control, search & rescue,etc. when the revenue is collected forthese services, the person who sent outthe bill will receive 5% of that revenue.Kitterman explained the billing takes timeand this may encourage someone otherthan himself to become involved with thisprocess. Kitterman also commentedwhen they respond to the Wildland fires,once the vehicle has left the building forthe call, any expense to the vehicle iscovered by the entity they are workingfor. The consensus of the council was tosupport the fire department request forbilling and a resolution will be broughtback for approval at the next meeting.

QUESTION: What can a coupledo to renew a sense of confidencein one another after many years ofmarriage that have included nu-merous painful circumstances re-quiring forgiveness on the part ofboth spouses? How can we restoretrust to our relationship? ANSWER: First be wary ofclichés and pat answers thatpromise quick solutions to theproblem you're facing. By yourown testimony, it's taken manyyears to build the wall of bitter-ness and suspicion that nowstands at the heart of your rela-tionship. You can't expect to tear itdown in a single day. Restoringtrust takes time. It's a processthat requires both an accurate un-derstanding and an appropriateapplication of the principle of for-giveness. But you can't begin tomove in this direction until youknow what the words " trust" and"forgiveness" really mean. Trust is something that has tobe earned. It's a mistake to as-sume that a person is worthy oftrust simply because he's ex-pressed remorse and you've of-fered him forgiveness. That's justthe beginning. As has alreadybeen indicated, trust can be bro-ken fairly quickly, but the rebuild-ing process can be lengthy and te-dious. This is especially truewhere the offenses in questionwere unusually hurtful or ifthey've been repeated numeroustimes. When you've beenwounded, it's difficult to trustagain unless you can see tangibleevidence that things are going tobe different in the future. So ifyou're the spouse taking the ini-tiative to restore the relationship,look for change and insist on see-ing it implemented before movingforward. At the same time, don'tmake unrealistic demands. De-pending on the seriousness of theoffense, you might reasonably ex-pect the following responses fromyour partner: 1. A willingness to take personalresponsibility for the damage donewithout shifting blame or adopt-ing evasive tactics. 2. A determination to come upwith a precise and definitive plandesigned to prevent further of-fenses. 3. A commitment to join you inseeking Christian counseling. Thiswould include an active resolve tosort through all problematic is-sues and to make all the necessarychanges. 4. Patience and forbearance inallowing the wounded spouse thetime necessary to heal withoutundue pressure. Forgiveness, too, is a frequentlymisunderstood concept. Many peo-ple seem to believe that forgivingmeans one of the following: 1. Condoning or excusing the of-fense. 2. Forgetting past abuses or in-justices. 3. Minimizing or justifying neg-ative behavior. 4. Immediately trusting the of-fender again. By way of contrast, true biblicalforgiveness is not a matter of over-looking offenses or sweeping themunder the rug. Instead it means: 1. Giving up unhealthy angerwhich is often expressed as bitter-ness, spite, rage, the "silent treat-ment," or revenge. 2. Turning both the offender andthe offense over to God for Hisrighteous judgment. 3. Making a commitment towork through the issues togetheruntil the root causes of the prob-lem have been identified and re-solved. 4. Actively rebuilding the rela-tionship, brick by brick, on a foun-dation of solid trust. Remember: forgiveness is notoptional for the Christian. God re-quires that you forgive yourspouse - "for if you do not forgivemen their trespasses, neither willyour Father forgive your tres-passes" (Matthew 6:15). So "bekind and compassionate to one an-other, forgiving one another justas God in Christ has forgiven you"(Ephesians 4:32). If this is a strug-gle for you, begin by asking theLord to help you in those areaswhere you're finding it difficult toforgive. Sin is the obvious reasonwe hurt each other, but it isn't al-ways easy to get to the practicalheart of the matter. For helpful in-sight into this aspect of the prob-

lem, we'd highly recommend thatyou and your spouse get a copy ofR.T. Kendall's excellent book TotalForgiveness and study it fromcover to cover. We would strongly urge you andyour spouse to discuss the con-cepts at length with a certifiedmarriage counselor. We have astaff of trained Christian thera-pists here at Focus on the Familywho are available to consult withyou over the phone - you can callone of them Monday through Fri-day between 6:00 a.m. and 8:00p.m. Mountain time at 800-A-FAMILY (232-6459). The FamilyHelp Center staff member who an-swers the phone will arrange for alicensed counselor to call you back.One of them will be in touch justas soon as they're able. Our coun-selors can also provide you with alist of qualified professionals prac-ticing in your area. They'll bemore than happy to assist you inany way they can. QUESTION: My husband hasnever physically harmed me or thekids, but he constantly subjectsour children to mean-spirited put-downs. For example, he tells themthat they're stupid and lazy. Hedemeans my son's athletic abili-ties. He tells my daughter thatshe's ugly and needs to loseweight. The children try to ignorehim and put a brave face on thesituation. But I can tell that theconstant criticism and mindgames are wearing on their self-esteem and making their livesmiserable. I want to help them,but I also want to be a good sub-missive wife. I also worry abouthow he may react if I challengehim. What can I do? ANSWER: The state of affairsyou've described isn't good for any-one in the family. It's harmful anddestructive to everyone concerned.That includes you, your spouse,and the kids. This means thatsomething must be done to changeit as quickly as possible. We canalmost guarantee that the changewon't come about as a result ofadopting a "submissive" attitudetoward abuse. Somebody is goingto have to find the courage tostand in the gap, and it looks likeyou're elected. We understand your fears andhesitations, of course. You knowbetter than we do exactly howyour husband is likely to respondif you cross him. It's possible thatyou would be endangering your-self by standing up to him on thekids' behalf. That's a matter of se-rious concern. Nevertheless, youstill need to listen to your mother'sheart and do what it tells you. Ifyou think about it, you'll see thatthis is a case where love and con-cern for your children's well-beingtrumps every other consideration.There really is no other choice. Perhaps it would be helpful atthis point to say a few words aboutthe underlying causes of abuseand list some of the identifyingmarks of genuinely "abusive"speech and behavior. Domesticabuse is almost always a tech-nique for gaining and maintainingcontrol, and likely is born out of

the abusers own pain. An emo-tional abuser keeps others underhis thumb by blaming and sham-ing. He uses name-calling, swear-ing, and other forms of contemptu-ous speech to convince his victimsthat they are unworthy of bettertreatment. In most cases he ishighly manipulative, displays nar-cissistic tendencies, and flatly re-fuses to acknowledge any personalresponsibility for family dysfunc-tion. If any of this sounds typicalof your husband's interactionswith your children, you are morethan justified in taking whateversteps are necessary to reverse thesituation. How should you go about this?We suggest you begin by settingup an appointment for yourselfand the children with a familycounselor. Tell your husband thatyou and the kids have reached thepoint where you need professionalhelp to deal with the fallout of hisverbal assaults and hurtful insin-uations. Urge him to seek counsel-ing too, but ask him to do it sepa-rately during the beginningphases of the process (it's far tooeasy for an abusive spouse to ma-nipulate a joint counseling sessionand subsequently turn it to hisown advantage or use it as an ex-cuse for further abusive behavior).Make it clear that, from your per-spective, this is absolutely neces-sary in order to protect the chil-dren's emotional health and pre-serve the integrity of the family.Let him know that, in any case,there can be no question of main-taining the status quo. In connection with this lastpiece of advice, you should bear inmind that this probably isn't goingto be a quick and easy process.Abuse is usually rooted in deeplyentrenched patterns of thoughtand behavior, and you can't expectto reverse those patterns in a cou-ple of counseling sessions. If your spouse refuses to cooper-ate, you may need to create a cri-sis by giving him an ultimatum.Say something like, "Either youget counseling, or the children andI will need to look for other livingaccommodations until you'reready to help us resolve this prob-lem." A temporary, therapeuticseparation may be what it takes toopen his eyes to his behavior andto stimulate some badly neededself-examination on his part. Nat-urally, you'll want to make surethat your support system is inplace and that you actually have asafe place to go-the home of afriend, family member, or neigh-bor-before you put the matter tohim in these terms. Lay yourplans, line up your resources, andmake your arrangements prior topacking your bags and walkingout the door. In the meantime, you can bol-ster your children's confidence andcounter the ill effects of your hus-band's put-downs by constantlyreassuring them of your love andaffection. Tell them in detail whatyou like about them. Highlighttheir special talents and abilities.Let them know that, in your eyes,they are precious and beautiful be-yond description. Don't forget tosupplement these comments withsolid reminders of their eternalvalue in the sight of God. Helpthem understand what it means tobe human beings created in Hisimage.

Comparable wages forAgricultural Workers

We often get questions such ashow much do ranch workers nor-mally make? Although a CPA isnot an employee wage and hourspecialist, we prepare hundreds offarm and ranch tax returns annu-ally. One excellent source of infor-mation is the South Dakota De-partment of Labor and Regulationweb site. This site has survey re-sults for actual wages for hun-dreds of job classifications. The survey results that areavailable in the first half of 2016are for actual wages paid in SouthDakota in 2015. This can be sortedas statewide or refined to a moretargeted area such as West River.The wage results are by job cate-gory and are stratified such as thelowest 25 percent (entry level), theaverage, and highest 25 percent.The survey also gives informationon educational requirements andexperience requirements and theoutlook for demand for workersper classification. The classification – farm andranch worker – indicates moder-ate demand, lower educational re-quirements and minimal experi-ence requirement. This would in-dicate a classification for whatmight commonly be referred to as“hired man.” The lower 25 per-cent (entry level) wage is $22,419per year. The average salary forthis classification of $25,418 andthe top 25 percent of workers in

this category is $28,463 per year. The Department of Labor website has a classification for agricul-tural equipment operator. Thisclassification indicates a high de-mand for qualified workers, a highschool diploma, and three plusyears of experience requirement.The lower 25 percent of workers inthis classification shows an an-nual salary of $26,990, an averagesalary of $29,996 and the top 25percent of workers in this categoryis at $31,451 per year. There is another classificationof supervisors of agriculturalworkers, which likely is whatwould be considered as a ranchmanager. This category showsmuch lower demand for workers(fewer openings), has a more of aneducational requirement, but nota college degree, and has a higherexperience requirement. For thisclassification the lower 25th per-centile shows a wage of $52,014per year, an average wage of$63,328 and the highest 25 per-cent in the classification with anannual wage of $74,419. It is possible that the reason forthe lower demand for ranch man-agers is because the farm or ranchowner often fills that role. Itwould seem logical that the moreexperience a person had, the moreemployees they supervise and thelarger the operation, would indi-cate moving up on the reportedpay scales. The reports also do notgive data per job on employee ben-

efits. With agricultural workersthere often are fewer benefits suchas health insurance or 401k butthere is frequently housing pro-vided, and sometimes the abilityto run a few cows as well. Another issue that may come upis – what if you have a person whois managing a farm or ranch butnot supervising employees? Inthat case it would seem likely thatif there are no employees otherthan the manager, that the dutiesare not quite as much, and reason-able pay may be somewhere in be-tween the classification of ranchworker and ranch manager. Another interesting template inthe South Dakota Department ofLabor and Regulation website isstratifying wages by educationallevel requirements. As expected,jobs that require more educationconsistently pay better. The aver-age annual wage by required levelof education is reported as follows: Less than high school – $21,927 High school diploma or equiva-lent – $33,769

Some college but no degree –$36,063 Bachelor’s degree – $57,769 Doctoral or professional degree– $98,542 The Department of Labor website cautions that the above datareports the average wage per oc-cupation, not the average wageper employee with the identifiededucational requirement.
