National Park Eric Brunnemannhad presented an idea to the WallCity Council several months ago toplace Forest Service/BadlandsPark banners on light poles by theBuffalo Gap building. The bannerswill mirror the city banners which

are on the main street poles.Brunnemanns thought was toget visitors into Wall which is agateway community and allowthem to preview everything thatWall offers in and out of town. Amotion was made and approved fortwo banners to be placed on polesby the Buffalo Gap building.

Fred Folsom with Waste Con-nections was present at the meet-ing to address concerns with com-mercial businesses taking trashhome and overloading their homecontainers. Folsom said, the con-tract between Waste Connectionand the City of Wall does not ad-dress this issue and is not a prob-lematic issue. The issue wasdropped.

Kelly Lurz who is co-chairmanwith the Relay For Life Group in-formed the council the event willbe held in Wall, September 14 - 15.

She has permission from theState to block the South Boulevardbut wanted permission from thecity to set up tents and a stagewith speakers in the grass area ofthe boulevard. A motion was madeand approved to allow the group touse the boulevard and waive thefee for the noise permit.

Anne Tice-Posley and CJ Ticecame before the council with aquestion of where do we stand in

getting a S.D. Wine License. Tice-Posley has researched the issueand visited with Rick Hustead whothought the most logic idea was toapply for a Off-Sale Malt Beverageand S.D. Wine License. Husteadmade a motion for the MochaMoose to obtain the license but themotion died for lack of a second.

Mayor Dave Hahn explained thenext step is for the Mocha Mooseto visit with their attorney andhave him put together a referen-dum. The Mocha Moose will thenhave to get the appropriate num-ber of signatures so the issue cango to a vote. Tice-Posley said shewas baffled by what is happeningand totally represented what theyare going after, which is a gift itemfor the locals and tourists. She alsopointed out to the council thattheir ordinance is not correct andthis doesnt need to become a legalbattle. She informed the councilshe will get the appropriate legaldocuments and signatures so theissue can go to a vote.

Carol Hodge came before thecouncil with a request that moreflags be displayed to show pride inour men who have served thiscountry to protect us. She encour-ages everyone in town to fly a flag.

Sgt. Dan Wardell informed thecouncil they have beefed up secu-rity for the Wall Celebration andwill have saturation patrols out.

The loud music on main streethas been addressed by DeputyLouie Lang and Wardell thoughtthe music is being played signifi-cantly lower. He noted the Pan-handling issue is being addressedand wanted the community to

know that Deputy Jamin Hartlandand Robert Schoeberl have beencleared to come back to work.

The final plat and Resolution 13-06 was approved for the SleepyHollow campground.

Results of the land auction re-sulted in one bidder who pur-chased the land for $12,500. The

paperwork will be completed soonand the city employees will mowthe lot before the Wall Celebration.

Ordinance 13-02; Alcohol Bever-age was reviewed. This will be thefirst reading and A - D will bestricken from the ordinance.

Ordinance 13-01; Main Streetparking will be tabled until thenext meeting so parking on FourthStreet can be reviewed.

Ordinance 13-04; Sidewalk saleswas dropped.

Ordinance 13-03; Flood Planwas dropped.

The Bloom lease was approvedat $2.00 an acre.

Hahn reviewed the estimates forthe I-90 light repairs. Two of thelights on the west side are out andneed new wiring. Council wentover different options and ap-proved to fix three lights on thewest side using continency fundsat a total cost of $18,000.

A change in lifeguard pay wasapproved for $8.00 an hour and toretroactive back pay for Juneshours.

Wall School Board re-electsEisenbraun as chairperson

The Wall After School Program (WASP) students participated in a program on plants. Studentswere introduced to terms related to plants, such as seeds, pollen and fruit or vegetables by LindaHiltner from the Forest Service. The students listened to a short book on how plants grow fromseeds to the foods we eat. Then seeds are needed to grow more food. After playing a memorycard game that used the parts of plants, weather types and plant environments, the students wentoutdoors to the garden project at the school. Each child received a handout to observe plants byidentifying the parts and then drawing a picture of their chosen plant in the garden.

Good Earth dedication July 19On July 19, South Dakota will offi-

cially dedicate Good Earth StatePark at Blood Run as its first newstate park in over 40 years.

We want to preserve this cultur-ally significant site for future gener-ations, said Gov. Dennis Daugaard.By setting aside this land as a state

park we will protect its naturalbeauty and provide an excellent edu-cational opportunity about a site thatwas a peaceful Native American trad-ing and ceremonial center for cen-turies.

Good Earth State Park at BloodRun is located just southeast of SiouxFalls and is part of the Blood RunNational Historic Landmark. Thelandmark lies on both sides of the BigSioux River at the mouth of BloodRun Creek, and includes over 3,000acres of land in South Dakota andIowa.

The river, abundant wildlife, fertileflood plains, availability of pipestoneand protection from winds made thesite an important gathering placeand trading center for American In-dians from 1350 to 1700 A.D. Duringthe latter part of that period, BloodRun was the largest Oneota siteknown to exist anywhere. Archeolo-gists speculate that there were 6,000to 10,000 people utilizing the villagethat served as a trade and ceremonialcenter for the entire region.

The park was officially designatedas a state park during the 2013 Leg-islative session but the project hasbeen in the works for severaldecades.

The National Park Service recog-nized the sites cultural and historicalsignificance and named Blood Run aNational Historic Landmark in 1970.Over the next several decades, thestates of South Dakota and Iowa pur-chased pieces of land within the land-mark.

The major acquisitions came re-cently in South Dakota, where over400 acres of pristine natural propertyhave been added to the park over t helast two years.

Partnerships have been key tothis project from the beginning, saidDoug Hofer, South Dakota StateParks Director. The outpouring ofsupport from both public and private

entities bas been phenomenal.Hofer noted The Conservation

Fund as an important partner. As anational non-profit organization ded-icated to saving special places andland for public use, the organizationacquired a key portion of the parkand held it until funding was avail-able for the state to purchase theproperty.

Hofer also praised the manydonors that have contributed to theproject, as well as the South DakotaParks and Wildlife Foundation for

their major role in leading thefundraising effort.

The dedication, which is open tothe public, will take place 11 a.m. to12 p.m. CDT on July 19 at the site.Scheduled speakers include Gov.Daugaard, GFP Secretary Jeff Vonk,members of area tribes, SD Parks

and Wildlife Foundation Past Presi-dent Jeff Scherschligt and Iowa Gov.Terry Branstad. Guided hikes of thenew park will be offered following theceremony.

A project to restore the century-old stained glass in the state Capi-tol will begin on July 29.

The four large skylight installa-tions in the Capitol rotunda dome,House and Senate chambers andabove the grand marble staircasewill be removed, restored and rein-stalled during the next fourteenmonths.

A detailed condition assessmentof the stained glass was completedin April.

Significant problems were found

as age, gravity and original mate-rial and design weaknesses havetaken their toll since the stainedglass was installed in 1909.

The glass is bowing badlyenough in spots that it could fail ifits allowed to get much worse,said Paul Kinsman, Commissionerof the states Bureau of Adminis-tration. Weve done spot repairsover decades and even those fixesare now failing.

Each of the 199 large panels ofstained glass will be removed,

Stained glass in state capitol to be restoredplaced in a custom shipping frameand transported to ConradSchmitt Studios just outside ofMilwaukee, Wisconsin.

There the panels will be disas-sembled. The glass pieces will berepaired and releaded, and thepanels rebuilt. New structuralsupports will be added to ensureeven longer-term strength.

The stained glass in the Ro-tunda dome will be the first to beremoved. Portions of the secondfloor Rotunda will be closed to foot

traffic during July and August.The House and Senate chamber

stained glass will be removed fol-lowing the conclusion of the 2014Legislative Session. The barrelvault above the grand marblestaircase will be the last to be re-moved in May, 2014.

The stained glass panels will re-turn to the Capitol next year, withthe Rotunda dome stained glassexpected to return in June, 2014.

The House and Senate chamber

glass and the barrel vault abovethe grand staircase are scheduledto return in September, 2014.

Kinsman said the goal is to com-plete the project in time for thestates 125th anniversary of state-hood on November 2, 2014.

Funding for the $2.7 millionproject comes from the Bureau of

Administrations Maintenance andRepair fund.

Conrad Schmitt Studios part-nered with Sharpe Enterprises ofPierre to submit the winning pro-

posal for the specialized project.Conrad Schmitt Studios was

founded in 1889 and is the largestfirm of its kind in the nation.

Their past restoration projectsinclude St. Joseph Cathedral inSioux Falls, St. Mary CatholicChurch in Salem, the LawrenceCounty Courthouse, state capitolsin Iowa, Minnesota, and Wiscon-sin, and the Basilica of the SacredHeart at the University of NotreDame.

Farm Bill Moves ForwardAfter months of debate and hun-

dreds of amendments, the U.S.House passed a Farm Bill thisweek.

This legislation, which I sup-ported, is anticipated to move to aconference committee so differ-ences between the Senate andHouse versions can be worked out.

This process hasnt been easy,but getting a five-year Farm Billpassed and signed into law hasbeen a top priority for me since Icame to Congress. Although pas-sage of this legislation is a keystep, we still have a long way to goto get a Farm Bill to the presi-dents desk and signed into law.

Separating out the nutritiontitle from the Farm Bill is not idealand certainly wasnt the path Iwould have chosen, but at the endof the day, we need to get a FarmBill into conference with the Sen-ate.

I was proud of the bipartisan billwe passed out of the AgricultureCommittee in April. It was unfor-

tunate that many members wereunable to put people before politicsand pass that bill when we had theopportunity last month.

However, the legislation wepassed this week includes impor-tant provisions for the agriculturecommunity in South Dakota.

The House has now reautho-rized livestock disaster assistanceprograms, included important sod-saver protections which encouragegood land stewardship, passedmeasures to help combat the pinebeetle in the Black Hills, and es-tablished a permanent Office ofTribal Relations within the UnitedStates Department of Agriculture.

This bill repeals direct paymentsto farmers and stops payments tothose who no longer farm. In fact,traditional farm policy fundingwas cut by 36 percent, the biggestreduction in Farm Bill history.

Additionally, the bill makes im-portant and necessary reforms tothe crop insurance program, whichis vital to the South Dakota agri-culture community. These reforms

make sure that farmers have skinin the game while providing asafety net.

A rigorous debate on the nutri-tion title, which includes the foodstamp program, lies ahead for theHouse.

Traditionally, the nutrition titleaccounts for approximately 80 per-cent of the Farm Bill funding. De-mocrats believe the AgricultureCommittee proposals reformswent too far, while some Republi-cans believed it didnt go farenough.

We need to ensure that the nu-trition title is done in a way thathelps those most in need and is ac-countable to taxpayers.

Its time to move forward. Itstime to ensure we have sound pol-icy that provides a safety net andcertainty for our agriculture com-munity.

Decades ago, we decided it wasimportant for us to grow our ownfood in this country and passage ofthis bill brings us closer to policyto ensure that continues to hap-pen.

I look forward to receiving yourfeedback as the Farm Bill processcontinues. I hope youll take thetime to give my office a call toshare your thoughts, commentsand concerns.

Favorable Tax Structure MakesSouth Dakota a Great Place to do

Business For business owners acrossSouth Dakota who have wiselychosen to do commerce within ourborders, news that CNBC hadranked South Dakota the numberone state in the country to do busi-

ness was not surprising.Our state government has

worked hard over the years to cre-ate favorable economic conditionsfor our residents. South Dakotasstrong leadership, good fiscal man-agement, low regulatory burden,and simplified tax structure havecreated conditions that have in-creased prosperity and continue tocreate jobs throughout the state.

Im proud to represent a statethat has found such great successmanaging its budget, cutting redtape, and creating incentives forgood jobs through a pro-growth taxstructure.

Unfortunately, South Dakotassuccess is yet another reminder ofhow Washingtons broken policiesof new spending and higher taxesare not working.

The Senate Finance Committeehas begun a critical debate on howto best address tax reform in ourcountry.

Comprehensive tax reform canmake American businesses morecompetitive in the global economyand can benefit families who aredealing with a growing and in-creasingly complex tax code. Addi-tionally, tax reform can help to ad-dress our ever-expanding budgetdeficit by unleashing economic ac-tivity that will ultimately raisefederal tax receipts, even at lowertax rates.

Our tax code has grown consid-erably and has become a complexmaze of special interest provisions

and temporary tax measures.However, America now faces a

much more intense global compe-tition for jobs and investment thanit did 25 years ago.

Today, multinational corpora-tions can place the next cutting-edge research and development ormanufacturing facility anywherefrom Bangalore to Shanghai. Un-fortunately, our tax code still oper-ates as if this competition for jobsand investment is irrelevant.

Americas combined state andfederal corporate tax rate is thehighest in the developed world,topping out at nearly 40 percent.Even Russia, at 20 percent, andChina, at 25 percent, are lower.

Since 1998, the average corpo-rate tax rate of advancedeconomies has dropped by 19 per-cent, while the U.S. rate has risenby one percent.

America should take a lesson ineconomic growth and prosperity

from the success South Dakota hasfound with its simplified tax struc-ture.

Streamlining our tax code willstrengthen our economy, improvethe competitiveness of our busi-nesses, and greatly ease the taxburden for American families.
