$1.00 (tax included) Number 30 Volume 107 July 26, 2012 by Del Bartels “It’s More Than a Place ... West River,” is a historical synopsis of the Grindstone and Dowling area. The book has been released by local resident and now published author, Ruby Gabriel. After Gabriel snapped a sunrise silhouette photo of the Pleasant View School building on Christmas morning, 2007, Gabriel told her sister that someone should tell the stories of the area before those sto- ries were lost. Within the few hours, the two discovered in her fa- ther’s desk drawer the history of their country school, thus further intriguing Gabriel’s sense of his- tory. Soon after that, a King family descendent now living out of state visited the old Dowling Church. He had memories of it from when he was only six years old. Gabriel un- locked the building and allowed him and his wife in, where the man reminisced. A few weeks later, Gabriel received from him a copy of Bessie King’s old family diary, which contained a wealth of his- tory on the Dowlong area. Gabriel set out to be that someone to tell Ruby Gabriel – published author the stories. The cover of the 100-page book displays the photo that started the project. The stories inside take the reader back to when the develop- ing community was part of the Great Sioux Reservation. Though the book’s direction is varied, “everything in here goes together,” said Gabriel, who clarified, “I wanted to write about ranching.” The indexed documentation uses old newspaper clippings, mostly from the South Dakota Historical Society Archives, diaries, local records, cemetery listings and rec- ollections of older residents of the Grindstone area. After the research, “I almost feel like I was there when this hap- pened,” said Gabriel. “I just feel God has lead me to do this. He gave me a wonderful sunrise, and he gave me these people who were lost on the steps of the Dowling Church.” “I couldn’t gather all the infor- mation and retell the stories of James Leighton Gilmore better than was done by the newspa- pers,” said Gabriel, who included stories of Gilmore and three other historical murderers. She noted that the town of Philip’s name- sake, Scotty Philip, was the execu- tor of the property of Mexican Ed, who was shot dead during a poker game. On June 28, 2012 high school Social Studies teacher Mr. Ermish and seven students from Wall High School took off from Rapid City for Paris France. Traveling on the eleven day tour of France and Italy where seniors Cheyenne Deering, Heidi Huether, Anna Kit- terman, junior Kailey Rae Sawvell, sophomore Kaden Eisen- braun, freshmen Tayah Huether, and Autumn Deering. Cheyenne and Kaden also traveled to China in 2011 with Mr. Ermish. In Paris the group toured the city with specific tours of the Louve Museum and The Royal Palace at Versailles. The Eifel Tower and Notre Dame Cathedral were of course highlights of their time in Paris. While not having enough time to see the entire Louve Museum, something that would take days if not weeks to do, they did have a good game plan to see the most important and fa- mous works of art and history. Each member of the group viewed da’Vinci’s Mona Lisa, The Winged Victory of Samathrace, and the Venus de Milo. In addition, they toured the Egyptian antiquities, Greek antiquities, and Roman art exhibits. At Louis XIV Palace of Versailles, the group received a fully guided tour of the royal apartments and the famed Hall of Mirrors before touring the spectac- ular gardens. The group traveled by train through the Alps into Italy and their next stop on the tour, Milan, also known as the fashion capital of the world. However, they learned that Milan had played a large role in the unification of Italy and was one of the cultural and Eagles in Europe science centers of the renaissance. In addition to touring the Cathe- dral of Milan, the group also toured the city castle. On the tour, the students and Mr. Ermish toured several cathe- drals and dozens of churches. Each cathedral had its own feel and one seemed to be more spectacular than the last. Those specifically toured by the group included Notre Dame in Paris, The Cathe- dral of Milan, The Cathedral of Florence, The Cathedral at Pisa, and St. Peters Basilica at the Vat- ican. In Italy, each of the cathe- drals is known as a “duomo”. The word duomo is commonly misun- derstood to mean cathedral but the group came to learn that it is actu- ally the name given to the largest or most prestigious place of wor- ship in a town or city. While in Florence, Mr. Ermish and Kailey Rae made the grueling but spectacular climb to the top the cathedral dome. They moved through tight, winding, and some- times very steep stairways to get a view of Florence only a few get to see. While Pisa is more famous for Eagles in Europe. From left to right ...

The conference included briefings at the White House, meetings on Capitol Hill and a conservation tour of the Chesa- peake Bay Watershed. Accompany- ing Denke were NACD second vice-president Jack Majeres of Dell Rapids, SDACD president Fran Fritz of Iroquois, SDACD execu- tive director Angela Ehlers of Presho and US Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Services (USDA- NRCS) state conservationist Jeff Zimprich. Denke participates in D.C. National Conservation conference “I came to Washington to carry the message to the Hill we need lo- cally-lead, incentive-based conser- vation on the ground. Working with those from other states, we can stress the importance of get- ting the Farm Bill passed and ad- dressing the severe drought grow- ing across the United States. I was pleased to hear from our Congres- sional delegation that they support immediate action on the Farm Bill and want to work with us to pro- vide drought relief,” stated Denke. “I was also impressed when the Senate and House Ag Committees noted they relied on our national association for their leadership in developing the Conservation Title of the Farm Bill.” On Monday, July 16, Denke and attendees participated in briefings and a question-and-answer session at the White House with several high-level Administration officials, including: U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Chief of Staff Krysta Harden; USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service Chief Dave White; USDA Deputy Secretary Kathleen Merrigan; U.S. Bureau of Land Management Act- ing Director Mike Pool; Environ- mental Protection Agency (EPA) Agricultural Counselor Larry El- worth; White House Council on Environmental Quality Associate Director for Land and Water Ecosystems Jay Jensen; and White House Domestic Policy Council Senior Policy Advisor for Rural Af- fairs Doug McKalip. Following the briefings, partici- pants headed to DuPont’s Chesa- peake Farms in Chestertown, Md. for a first-hand look at conserva- tion successes and challenges in the Chesapeake Bay. Ongoing en- vironmental improvement efforts in the Chesapeake Bay are often considered to be a model for water- sheds across the nation. “Conservation districts have and continue to play a key role in the success we’ve seen in the Chesa- peake Bay,” said NACD President Gene Schmidt. “The 127 conserva- tion districts in the Chesapeake Bay region are leading the way by working cooperatively with landowners, producers, local com- munities and other partners to im- plement conservation practices on the ground in this highly sensitive region.” At the Farm, attendees heard from a panel of speakers, includ- ing: NACD President-Elect Earl Garber; EPA Chesapeake Bay Pro- gram Office Director Nick Di- Pasquale; DuPont Crop Protection President Rik Miller; and NRCS Chief Dave White. The panelists highlighted the importance of partnerships between private landowners, government agencies and private industry in imple- menting conservation at the local level. On Tuesday, July 17, Denke led a delegation from the SD Associa- tion of Conservation Districts to meet with Senator Thune and staff of Senator Johnson and Represen- tative Noem to discuss local and national conservation issues, par- ticularly regarding Farm Bill Con- servation Programs, mountain pine beetle control, and drought mitigation opportunities.

The South Dakota Association of Conservation Districts is the non- profit organization representing South Dakota’s 69 conservation districts and the 345 men and women who serve on their govern- ing boards.

The fire began along Interstate 90 at exit 127. Crews battled the blaze in the heat of the afternoon on private and forest service land. Wall Forest Service District Ranger Alan Anderson related the fire ran to the north rather quickly. He noted the fire burned 762 acres of forest service land and 320 acres of private and other land. A C-Plane and helicopter where called in to help contain the fire which was threatening a home and outbuildings. Anderson went on to say the White Creek drainage area helped to stop the fire. Crews were then able to establish a preimeter around the fire with the help of county blades. Trucks from Wall, Philip, Inte- rior, Box Elder, Badlands National Park, Wall Forest Service, Pied- mont, Kadoka and Black Hawk helped to fight the fire and get it surrounded by Thursday evening. West River Electric was also on the scene as the fire burnt 17 high wire poles. Anderson also said, “Fences burned and will have to be replaced.” Fire Departments set up sta- tions where trucks could fill quickly and be back to the fire in a short turn around time. Incident Commander Corey Richardson with the Wall Forest Service is expected to call the fire 100 percent by the end of Friday, July 20. The cause of the fire is under in- vestigation at this time. Local agencies and authorities are en- couraging the public to use ex- treme caution during this high fire danger season.

Letter to the Editor

Social Security News

By Kathy PetersenSocial Security

Public Affairs Specialist This time of year, we see a lot ofweddings, and in many cases thatmeans name changes. If you needto change your name due to mar-riage, divorce, or any other rea-son, you will want to report thechange to Social Security. There are several reasons to re-port the change. First, IRS andSocial Security match computerrecords. If the name and SocialSecurity number you report onyour tax return do not match thename and Social Security numberin our records, it could delay theprocessing of your return as wellas any tax refund you might bedue. The second reason it is impor-tant to make sure your Social Se-curity records are up-to-date isyour potential Social Securitybenefits are based almost entirelyon the earnings record we main-tain for you. If your employer re-ports earnings to the governmentunder your new name, and yourSocial Security record still showsyour old name, those earningsmay not get credited to your So-cial Security earnings record.Missing earnings can lead tolower future Social Security ben-efits.

On July 13, 2012, the Environ-mental Protection Agency (EPA)withdrew its proposed CleanWater Act (CWA) Section 308CAFO (Concentrated AnimalFeeding Operations) ReportingRule. The proposed rule was theresult of an out-of-court settlementagreement between EPA and envi-ronmental activists and wouldhave required all cattle operationsmeeting the regulatory definitionof a CAFO to report a long list ofinformation about their operationsto EPA, including the precise typeand location of the livestock oper-ation. EPA planned to place the in-formation gathered on the agency’swebsite in a searchable database.

The South Dakota Cattlemen’sAssociation (SDCA) voiced con-cern, fearing extremists could ac-cess the information with the in-tent to do harm to individual cattleoperations or the nation’s food sys-tem.

Bryan Nagel, a cattle feederfrom Avon and chairman of theSouth Dakota Cattlemen’s Associ-ation’s Cattle Feeder Councilstated, “This move by EPA is a vic-tory for cattlemen and illustratesthe importance of the beef cattlecommunity working together to

The South Dakota Board of Ed-ucation formally endorsed a self-assessment tool based on theSouth Dakota School LibraryGuidelines at a regularly sched-uled meeting Monday.

The South Dakota Library Asso-ciation and South Dakota State Li-brary Board previously gave ittheir seal of approval as well.

“Emerging 21st century schoollibraries reflect a major shift na-tionwide.

A column by Gov. Dennis Daugaard

This week, the state budget of-fice announced that South Dakotaclosed the 2011-2012 fiscal year inthe black. The state’s ongoing rev-enues exceeded ongoing expensesby $47.8 million.

This is good news for SouthDakota, and it happened becausewe applied common sense to ourbudgeting.

Imagine you are the owner andpublisher of this newspaper, andyou are planning your budget forthe coming year. You would haveto make your plan based on projec-tions about your newspaper busi-ness. Certainly, you would con-

Mike Kintigh, regional supervisorfor western South Dakota. “Bymoving the meeting to a later date,department staff will be able toshare more specific information onlion populations and projected har-vest goals for the upcoming sea-son,” Kintigh said. The 2013 South Dakota Moun-tain Lion Hunting Season will beproposed at the GFP Commissionmeeting on August 2-3 in Milbankand finalized on October 4-5 at theAmericInn in Deadwood.

Protecting your tax dollarssider recent trends in your busi-ness, your experience with news-papers, and the economic health ofyour town.

If you were running that news-paper, would you assume a big in-crease in advertising sales? Wouldyou plan for lots of new sub-scribers? Would you calculate thatyour printing and delivery costswill go down?

Of course not. You might hopefor those things to happen, but itwould be very foolish to take themfor granted. If you plan to spendevery last dollar under the best-case scenario, your business willbe in trouble if things don’t go asplanned.

The South Dakota state budgetworks in the same way. When Icame into office, our state faced aprojected budget deficit of $127million. We made tough choices tobalance our budget without raisingtaxes.

We hoped that our businesseswould quickly bounce back fromthe recession. We hoped that grainprices would remain high and fa-vorable weather for farmers wouldcontinue. We hoped that thegrowth in Medicaid enrolleeswould slow down, and that homeconstruction would speed up. Wehoped that state departmentswould come in under-budget.

We hoped for these things – butwe didn’t take any of them forgranted. We didn’t assume every-thing would go our way.

In the fiscal year that justended, things turned out a littlebetter than we planned. That isgood news. It shows that we arebeing cautious. I would ratherhave a little extra than come up a

little short. And in the 2012 ses-sion, we were able to spend extramoney on priorities like K-12 edu-cation because things turned outbetter than we planned.

South Dakota’s economy is oneof the healthiest in the nation, andwe have seen a strong rate of re-covery in the past 18 months. I’moptimistic about our future.

But we still need to guardagainst future threats. The debtcrisis in Europe could pull theworld back into recession. Loomingfederal budget cuts could costSouth Dakota as much as $50 mil-lion a year, starting next year.Drought conditions in much ofSouth Dakota could lead to a diffi-cult year for our farmers andranchers.

I will continue to be prudent andcautious with your tax dollars sowe do not run a deficit. We will notfoolishly plan on the best-case sce-nario. That way, when there is alittle extra, we can put it back intoour schools and other priorities.

SDCA applauds withdrawal of proposed livestock reporting rule

educate government officials. Theimportance of cattlemen engagingin the regulatory process and voic-ing your concerns is most evidentin this type of win.”

“Results like this verify the ben-efit of membership in organiza-tions such as SDCA and the Na-tional Cattlemen’s Beef Associa-tion. The collective voices of cattle-men from across the state and na-tion were heard, preventing over-reaching regulation and quietingthe extremists looking to harmlivestock producers,” stated ToddWilkinson, Second Vice Presidentof SDCA and a cattle feeder fromDe Smet.

In comments on the proposerule, SDCA pointed out regulatoryagencies such as the South DakotaDepartment of Environment andNatural Resources already collectand monitor CAFOs through theirpermitting process and encour-aged EPA to seek existing datasources to meet the goals of theproposed rule. In withdrawing therule, EPA noted they will gatherand evaluate information onCAFOs obtained from already es-tablished relationships with statesand federal partners.

The South Dakota School Li-brary Guidelines outline the com-ponents of an effective 21st Cen-tury school library and librarian.They describe what is necessary tobe exemplary in three specific anddistinct areas: Program, Place andProfessional.

Based on that model, a taskforcedeveloped a scale as a self-assess-ment tool with accompanying in-structions and an award applica-tion. The task force was comprisedof both certified and non-certifiedschool librarians, teachers and ad-ministrators, as well as represen-tatives from the South Dakota Li-brary Association, South DakotaState Library, and the Departmentof Education.

Gov. Dennis Daugaard activatedthe state Drought Task Force tomonitor worsening drought condi-tions across much of SouthDakota.

The task force had its first meet-ing on Monday, July 23, in Pierre.

The group coordinated the ex-change of drought informationamong government agencies andagriculture, fire, and water-supplyorganizations. The information ex-change is the key to monitoringthe development and seriousnessof the drought. The task force willalso monitor the impact of droughton economic sectors of the state.

“Much of South Dakota wasstruggling with record floodingjust a year ago, but conditionshave rapidly reversed,’’ Gov. Dau-gaard said. “We have been closelytracking weather patterns, and theDrought Task Force will give us aforum to exchange facts and dataso our citizens can count on having

Officials with the South DakotaDepartment of Agriculture, thestate Office of Emergency Manage-ment and South Dakota State Uni-versity Cooperative ExtensionService have been actively track-ing drought conditions for severalweeks.

In addition, those agencies haveworked with local officials and theU.S. Department of Agriculture’sFarm Service Agency on the agri-cultural disaster declarationprocess, including pursuit of op-tions to allow haying and grazingon land enrolled in the Conserva-tion Reserve Program.

The latest U.S. Drought Monitor(http://droughtmonitor.unl.edu)shows all of South Dakota at leastabnormally dry, with some areasin moderate drought and areas ofthe southwest and south central insevere drought.

Agencies and groups repre-sented on the Drought Task Forceinclude the: Governor’s Office, De-partment of Agriculture, Depart-ment of Public Safety, Departmentof Environment and Natural Re-sources, Department of Game,Fish and Parks, Bureau of Infor-mation and Telecommunications,South Dakota Association ofCounty Commissioners, SouthDakota National Guard, state cli-matologist, federal Farm ServiceAgency, and South Dakota Associ-ation of Rural Water Systems.

The South Dakota Board of Edu-cation received updates Mondayduring its regularly scheduledmeeting on two online programsthat create rigor and relevance forhigh school students.

The South Dakota VirtualSchool provides expanded courseoffering to students through onlinestudies. It gives students the op-portunity to take more AdvancedPlacement courses, study highlyspecialized subjects, or receive tai-lored remedial instruction.

In 2011-2012, 133 public schooldistricts and school systems partic-ipated in South Dakota VirtualSchool. That’s up from 88 justthree years ago. More than 2,900full- or part-time students in

Online programs helping high school students succeedgrades 6-12 use the system, for atotal of 3,822 semester registra-tions. “Especially in many of thesmaller districts in the state,schools may not be able to pay afull-time teacher in advanced orhighly specialized subjects,” saidcurriculum specialist Erin Larsen.“The South Dakota Virtual Schoolgives students those same oppor-tunities, increasing the rigor andrelevance of their high school edu-cation.”

Currently, there are 364 semes-ter course offerings through SouthDakota Virtual School, with 24 APcourses and 82 credit recoverycourses. In the future, the virtualschool will expand to offer more

courses at the middle-school level. Another program, South Dakota

MyLife, is an online career devel-opment tool that encourages stu-dents to explore careers throughinterest inventories and skills as-sessments. Students can then re-search careers they are matchedwith and save that data to theironline portfolios. With that knowl-edge, they can use their profiles toplan their academic programs andtrack their goals.

“SDMyLife usage is really highright now,” said Tiffany Sander-son, career and technical educa-tion administrator in the Depart-ment of Education. “Overall usagehas been steadily climbing sincewe introduced the site four years

ago. It’s a good indication that stu-dents have access to the resourcesthey need for success in highschool and preparation for lifeafter 12th grade.”

Completion of the online interestinventories has allowed the state’seducation analysts to compare stu-dent interest data with workforceneeds so teachers and counselorscan educate students regardingrelevant opportunities in SouthDakota. In a related study, it wasdiscovered that students complet-ing career and technical educationprograms graduated and contin-ued to the postsecondary level at ahigher rate than the average stu-dent population.

its bell tower, the leaning tower,the group discovered that thecathedral served by the bell towerwas magnificent and built frommaterials recycled from ancientRoman ruins in the area. In Milan the group met up withour bus and driver for the rest oftheir time in Italy. The driver Le-andro was a big hit with the stu-dents who learned even with a lan-guage barrier that friends can bemade. Leandro loved the bookgiven to the tour director as a giftfrom the group. It contained pic-tures of South Dakota and specifi-cally the Badlands and the BlackHills. Look for Leandro comingthrough Wall Drug someday asSouth Dakota is now on Leandro’smust see list. The bus ride from Milan to Flo-rence was a great opportunity tosee some of the Italian countryside including fields of ripeningwheat, grapes orchards, and olivetree plantations. Florence was per-haps the favorite city visited by thegroup. The students and Mr. Er-mish really got a sense of the ren-aissance in Florence as theyviewed works of art by Michelan-gelo, including his famed statue ofDavid. The group also learned theFlorence is the birth place of thePinocchio story. The architectureof the city was amazing and thepace of life seemed a bit slower asthe group walked around thecathedral square, shops, and ofcourse sampled the gelato. Gelatois a rich ice cream sold on justabout every street corner and it issafe to say the kids became a bitaddicted to gelato and the seem-ingly endless flavor choices. Pisaand leaning tower where on thesecond day of our time in Florence.Pisa today is actually a very quietcity centered on tourism.

A Gathering of Natural ResourceProfessionals and Livestock Pro-ducers to Discuss and Learn AboutLivestock Grazing as a Land Man-agement Tool. The Society for Range Manage-ment will host the 2012 Tri-StateConservation Grazing Workshopat the Dakota Magic Casino nearHankinson, N.D., on Aug. 21-22. The workshop is sponsored byconservation organizations fromSouth Dakota, North Dakota andMinnesota, including the SouthDakota Department of Game, Fishand Parks. The Tri-State ConservationGrazing Workshop will bring to-gether natural resource profes-sionals and livestock producersfrom all three states to learn aboutthe use of livestock grazing as agrassland management and con-servation tool. On August 21, participantslearn about the current opportuni-ties, information and challenges ofmanaging grassland habitats andachieving conservation objectiveswith livestock. On August 22, theworkshop will consist of a fieldtour and on-site discussions aboutlivestock grazing for conservationobjectives. There is a registeration fee perday, and participants can register

Limited space is avail-able. “This workshop is a great wayfor South Dakota farmers andranchers to learn about ways tomaximize their grasslands notonly for livestock production butfor wildlife as well,” said TimOlson, a GFP biologist. “Healthywildlife populations can go hand inhand with healthy livestock herdsand healthy grasslands.” The Society for Range Manage-ment (SRM) is the professional so-ciety dedicated to supporting peo-ple who work with rangelands andhave a commitment to their sus-tainable use. Rangelands comprise nearlyhalf of all the land in the world,and are important for the goodsand services produced and ecologi-cal services they provide. SRM is dedicated to the conser-vation and sustainable manage-ment of rangelands for the benefitof current and future generations.

mous for its towers; Siena, famousfor its horse racing which takesplace in the streets; and lunch atwinery in Tuscany that is set inthe center of their grape and olivetree fields, very beautiful. Our group found Rome and theVatican to be amazing. To be sud-denly standing in the Coliseum,the ruins of the Roman Forum,and the Sistine Chapel broughtthose historical sites out of the textbooks and to real life. Studentsfrom Wall, SD stood on the veryspot Julies Caesar’s body wasbrought following his assassina-tion. The Vatican was somethingall the group had been looking for-ward too. While it was verycrowded in the Vatican Museumthe group did have a guided tourthat spent nearly one-half hour inthe Sistine Chapel looking at theceiling with amazement. The group then traveled by busfrom Rome to Pompeii for a tour ofthe city buried by the eruption ofMt. Vesuvius in 79 AD. The citywas buried so fast by the fallingash that it was preserved perfectlyfor twentieth century excavations.Again, it is amazing to think thesestudents walked the streets of aRoman city just as they wouldhave nearly 2000 years ago. The Eagles to Europe tour con-cluded with two days on theMediterranean sea in Sorrentoand the island of Capri where thegroup spent some time on thebeach and took a boat tour of theisland. All in all it was a very educa-tional and fun experience for all.Mr. Ermish was very appreciativeto the students for once againbeing the most attentive, wellmannered, and mature students inour very large group. “I think theyall benefited from the experiencethey had and will never forget thecultural and historical lessons theylearned.” In 2013 Mr. Ermish plans totake a group of student to Eng-land, Ireland, and Wales. There isstill time for students and parentsto sign up for that trip if they wish.

837-2053 Greetings… First off I owe MaryPaulsen an apology, she is alwaysso faithful in sending their newsand there were a few that gave metheir news. I have been throughsome problems and they havetaken more out of me than I real-ized at first. I am hoping thatthings are straightening out. Jim Allbee of Maple Lake,Minn., and his daughter StaceyAnderson of Shakopee, Minn., ar-rived to Jim’s sister and brother-in-law, Delmer and Mary Paulsen’sof Quinn, recently for a visit. Theyenjoyed touring the Wall DrugStore inside because of the heat,Tuesday, the 3rd. The 4th, theytraveled to Belle Fourche to Darrinand Jackie Paulsen home and tohelp Dreyson observe his 5thbirthday. the Paulsens were greathost and hostesses. Jim andStacey so enjoyed the get-togetherwith nephew Dawson, uncle Tomof Lead and friends and neighborsof the Paulsen. The heat and dry weather is sodangerous with the lightningstarting fires north of Kadoka,Pringle and areas around. Thetragedies are certainly putting uson an unsafe feeling. Jim Allbee and Stacey Andersonenjoyed visiting Tom Paulsen theevening in Lead and sometime inDeadwood. Delmer and Mary Paulsen also

got a call from daughter LynnMary Blaseg of Colorado Springs,Colo., about the fire there. It wasjust across the interstate. Theywere put on alert but didn’t haveto evacuate. Lucille Merman of Minn., sisterto Mary, left for Atwater, Minn.,the end of June. Lucille had beenvisiting in the Paulsen home andleft to visit in sister Margaret andbrother-in-law Augie Andersonhome. Mary feels Lucille will be abig help as Augie is suffering withLew Body Dementia. I had a few items that got mis-laid between the ambulance rideand days in the hospital. I hope I’mstraightened out and again if someone wants to take this over, be myguest. I have enjoyed keeping intouch but I would appreciate moreinterest and cooperation.

When hot days persist, and eventhe nights are hot, thoughts go tothose times before A.C. and whatin the world did we do? How didthose people in “The Olden Days”manage? Carl Humphrey remembers thathis mother would hang wet towelsat the windows. He also remem-bers Elk Creek had a pretty goodlittle swimming hole. It was a con-venient stop for a quick dip whengoing from stacking hay to the

house for dinner. Carl’s dad wasstill doing a lot of work with horsesso it doesn’t take much to envisionkids, horses, dogs, maybe evenDad enjoying a cool off in thatswimmin’ hole! They had a goodporch where you could lay yourmattress and sleep outside. I won-der how Mrs. Humphrey cookedthose big nourishing meals in theheat. Okay, that got me right off thepity pot. Think I’ll go check the

A.C. to be sure it’s working! Speaking of the Humphrey fam-ily, news of Anna Lee’s continuedprogress with her physical therapyand rehabilitation is very opti-mistic. Daughter, Peggy fromGillette, Wyo., came to spend theday with her mom this past week. Barb Crawford sent home a jarof her recent batch of chokecherrysyrup. While it may be a littlewarm to whip up some pancakes,chokecherry syrup is really, reallytasty on Ice Cream! WITHCHOPPED PECANS, YUM! Kerry Herriger has been seenbuzzing around the streets ofWasta, (riding? driving?) some-thing that looks a little like an of-fice chair with a very sweet para-sol some how affixed to provideshade. Word is that he bought itfor Joyce. Could be, but I’ve not yetseen Joyce riding through town.Looks like something fun for apoker run! Our long time Wasta residents,

Marilyn Keyser, is having a roughgo of it. For any of you who haven’theard, Marilyn was diagnosedwith lung cancer in February.Please keep her in your thoughtsand prayers. Cards can be sent tothe Wasta Post Office and they willbe forwarded on to her. Lloyd and I have been adventur-ing in the Black Hills cool (as intemperature) spots. We take a pic-nic, some comfy chairs and enjoythe pines, the water and oftensome conversation with tourists.Then we come home, feed our cat,sleep in our own bed and head outagain! A reminder from “LouisianaAndy” (talent show guest) on“awareness of little daily mira-cles”. Being cool enough in ourneck of the woods, Monday morn-ing to comfortably work outsidewith flowers, weeds, whatever andwhat all, until 10:45 a.m.! Seemslike a miracle to me! Happy Trails!

Wasta Wanderings

Our summer has really beenhot! Some of the residents havestated “it's as hot as it was in thedirty thirties”. Sunday, the Wall Singers cameand did gospel music, Mary Erz,Hazel Kalkbrenner and BarbWilliamson. The residents do enjoytheir time of fellowship. We are getting a few cherrytomatoes out of our garden. Rev. Darwin Kopfmann from theWall Methodist church held wor-ship service, and Dorothy Shearerled our hymn sing. Wednesday was Community

by Cornelius R. StamIt has been well said that

if there is anything good inany man it is because it wasput there by God. And some-thing good -- a new nature -- has been imparted by Godto every true believer inChrist.

While there is still withinus "that which is begotten ofthe flesh," there is also "thatwhich is begotten of theSpirit," and just as the one"cannot please God," so theother always pleases Him.

Adam was originally cre-ated in the image and like-ness of God, but he fell intosin and later "begat a son inhis own likeness, after hisimage" (Gen. 5:3). It couldnot be otherwise. FallenAdam could generate andbeget only fallen, sinful off-spring, whom even the lawcould not change. But "whatthe law could not do, in thatit was weak [because of] theflesh, God, sending His ownSon, in the likeness of sinfulflesh, and for sin," accom-plished, "that the righteous-ness of the law might be ful-filled in us, who walk notafter the flesh, but after theSpirit" (Rom. 8:3,4).

As Adam was made in thelikeness of God, but fell, so

Christ was made in the like-ness of sinful flesh -- thoughwithout sin -- to redeem usfrom the fall, that by grace,through the operation of theSpirit, a new creation mightbe brought into being, "thenew man which after God, iscreated in righteousnessand true holiness" (Eph.4:24).

Thus in addition to ourfallen Adamic nature truebelievers, through faith,have also become "partak-ers of the divine nature" (IIPet. 1:4). This is the "innerman" of which Paul speaksin Eph. 3:16, and this "innerman" delights to do God'swill (Rom. 7:22).

The Adamic nature, whichScripture calls "the flesh," isthat which was generated bya fallen begetter. It is sinfulin itself, even in the believer.It cannot be improved orchanged. But "that which isborn [or begotten] of God"always pleases Him. It wasbegotten by the Spirit of GodHimself. This is why ourLord said to Nicodemus:

"That which is born of theflesh is flesh; that which isborn of the Spirit isspirit....Ye must be bornagain" (John 3:6,7).

If you were born anywhere from1982 to 2001, or within a few yearsof this range, you are considered a“Millennial.” As a member of thisgroup, you share many things —cultural references, familiaritywith technology, attitudes towardwork and family — with othersyour age. And if you’re one of the“older” Millennials, you and yourpeers have something else in com-mon — specifically, you have agood opportunity to launch invest-ment strategies to help you savefor the future. Why are you so well positionedto invest for the future? For onething, it’s because you have somuch of the future ahead of you.As an investor, time is your great-est ally, for a couple of reasons.First, the more years you have toinvest, the greater the growth po-tential of your investments. Andsecond, by investing for the longterm, you can help reduce the im-pact of periods of short-termvolatility on your portfolio. Furthermore, since you may bein the early stage of your career,you probably have yet to reachyour maximum earnings and maybe eligible to put in the full annualamount to a Roth IRA, one of the

most effective retirement savingsvehicles available. (Eligibility tocontribute to a Roth IRA is phasedout over a specific income range.)When you invest in a Roth IRA,your earnings have the opportu-nity to grow tax free, provided youdon’t start taking withdrawalsuntil you’re at least 59½ andyou’ve had your account for atleast five years. Even if you do contribute to aRoth IRA, you can still participatein your employer-sponsored retire-ment plan, such as a 401(k) if youwork for a company, a 457(b) if youwork for a state or local govern-ment, or a 403(b) if you work for aschool or other tax-exempt organi-zation. And you should indeed con-tribute to your employer’s plan, be-cause it offers some key benefits:Your earnings accumulate on atax-deferred basis, and you typi-cally fund your plan with pre-taxdollars. So the more you put in, thelower your taxable income. (Taxesare due upon withdrawal, andwithdrawals prior to age 59½ maybe subject to a 10% IRS penalty.) The amount you can afford toput into your 401(k) or other em-ployer-sponsored plan depends onyour earnings and other circum-stances — but you should at leaststrive to contribute enough to earnyour employer’s match, if one is of-fered. Otherwise, you’ll be walkingaway from “free” money.

All the money you contribute toyour plan is yours, but if you leaveyour job before a specified vestingperiod — which often ranges fromthree to seven years — you maynot be able to keep all your em-ployer’s contributions. Check yourplan’s rules to see how this appliesto you. Of course, since you, as a Millen-nial, are in the early stage of yourworking years, you may well be onthe lookout for new job opportuni-ties. But if you are close to beingfully vested in your 401(k), youmight consider waiting a few extramonths — or even a year — to takea new job, so that you can leavewith the money your employer hascontributed. As a Millennial, you’ve got timeon your side as you invest for thefuture. So make sure you take ad-vantage of all the opportunitiesthat come your way.

loy·al·ty 1. A feeling or attitude of devotedattachment and affection. 2. Faithfulness or devotion to aperson, a cause, obligations, or du-ties: allegiance, constancy, faithful-ness, fealty, fidelity, steadfastness. 3. The condition of being closelytied to another by affection or faith.affection, attachment, devotion, fond-ness, liking, love. (Reference: An-swers.com) The process of preparing to writeabout this subject of LOYALTY forcedme to really search inside myself andask about my personal loyalties.Have I honestly earned the right towrite and speak on this subject? It re-quired a lot of soul searching and re-calling if I have a positive history ofbeing loyal or not in my life. Immediately, I was struck withthis thought: I know that I have notbeen as loyal as my golden retriever,Sheba, has been to me. I think dogsreally understand the concept of loy-alty better than we human beings,and Sheba has become even moreloyal as she has aged and mat ured.As her reddish-golden coat turns togray and silver around her face (I'venoticed the same thing while I amlooking in the mirror!) she becomesmore and more devoted to me. Shehas always been a very loyal ladyfriend-always accepting of me, everfaithful, affectionate, and alwaysready and willing to go for a ride inmy pickup truck. Sheba has beenthere for me as a loyal friend and in-credible hunting partner, and I am soblessed to have her. I know many of you pet owners willbe agreeing with me as to the loyal-ties found in our furry friends. It feelsgood to be on the receiving end ofsuch loyalty, doesn't it? This shouldchallenge us to look for ways in ourown lives to offer our loyalties to oth-ers. I challenge you to take time toreread the definition above, as youthink of ways that you can and willbecome a more loyal friend, sibling,employee, spouse, parent or child. Weare each so very capable of steppingup to the plate of loyalty. My soulsearching is forcing me to stretch out

of my comfort zones a bit and go theextra mile in being loyal to someone.I am okay with that. I need to do it.

It will be good for me. I will take ac-tion on this growth and set out to im-prove myself in this area of my lifeimmediately. And speaking of loyalty, we thankYOU for being such a loyal reader!

Kennedy Implement, Philip, hasbeen chosen as the 2012 Dealershipof the Year by Farm Equipmentmagazine. Farm Equipment presents itsDealership of the Year awards an-nually to farm machinery dealersin two categories. One is for thosewith annual sales revenues ofunder $50 million and the other fordealers with more than $50 millionin annual sales revenues. Kennedy Implement earned thedistinction in the under $50 millionin annual sales revenue categorythis year, not only for its outstand-ing financial and operating per-formance that has seen significantgrowth over the past three years,but also for its demonstrated com-mitment to employee training andcommunity involvement, as well asits renowned customer service.Kennedy Implement is a New Hol-land and McCormick dealer. It alsocarries Woods, Westfield, Wheat-heart, Brandt, Walinga,SnoBlast/TeamCo, Grass-hopper,and Vermeer, along with otherlines available through distribu-tion. The dealership was chosen forthe award by a panel of renownedfarm equipment experts. In theirselection of Kennedy Implement asFarm Equipment’s Dealership ofthe Year for 2012, the judges noted,“The staff consists of 11 employeeswho really produce. The dealershiphad the highest ‘dollars generatedper employee’ at $1,247,532. This is

Kennedy Implement earnsDealership of the Year

a very strong number when youconsider the smaller staff size.Their return on assests was thehighest of all nominees at 22 per-cent. They had the highest marketshare and their absorption ratewas also the highest of all nomi-nees in the small dealership cate-gory. The staff believes in a teamconcept ... ‘If one fails, we all fail.’This concept helped them receivethe number one market share inSouth Dakota for ag tractors andhay tools. The judges unanimouslyagreed that Kennedy Implementwas deserving of the 2012 firstplace award in the small dealer-ship category.” The judging panel included Dr.W. David Downey, director, Centerfor Agricultural Business, PurdueUniversity, West Lafayette, Ind.;David L. Kahler, retired chief exec-utive officer of the Ohio-MichiganEquipment Dealers Association,Dublin, Ohio; and Charles Glass,president, Glass ManagementGroup, Arlington, Texas. Originally founded in 1943,Kennedy Implement has seen sig-nificant changes in all aspects ofthe dealership over the last fiveyears. Mark Buchholz took overmanagement of the dealership in2008, and then purchased it fromthe previous owner, DennyKennedy, in 2010. This change hasbrought on a new direction in theday-to-day operations. Since Buch-holz purchased the dealership,they have added Grasshopper,

Woods, Brandt and Vermeer to thealready competitive lines in house. “Niche marketing has helped usfind locations for used equipmentto find homes elsewhere. This canbe seen directly in our Internetsales,” Buchholz said. “In 2011, wewere able to sell in 22 differentstates or provinces and had ap-proximately 45 sight-unseen saleswith no negative comebacks. Thishas allowed us to move equipmentto satisfied customers in newareas. We are continually lookingto improve our image in the com-munity and nation.” Kent Buchholz added, “We’redoing enough now online, there isno real slow time.” In 2011 Kennedy Implement re-ceived the Top Market Share inSouth Dakota – Ag Tractors, andTop Market Share in South Dakota– Haytools. “While these awardsare presented to the dealerships,they are a true testament to ourcustomers. They trust us enoughto sell them a quality product be-cause of our quality service,” M.Buchholz said. Kennedy Implement’s selectionas 2012 Dealership of the Year isfeatured in the July/August issueof Farm Equipment, viewable atwww.farm-equipment.com. Farm Equipment magazine,based in Brookfield, Wis., servesmore than 12,000 farm equipmentdealers, wholesalers and distribu-tors throughout North America.It’s also the publisher of RuralLifestyle Dealer magazine, FarmCatalog, Ag Equipment Intelli-gence, No-Till Farmer and theConservation Tillage ProductGuide.

I think if you aregoing to be addicted to something,history is a great thing.” One of the quoted early newspa-pers was The Grindstone Bee.“The whole thing was a hoot,” saidGabriel, who found that thepaper’s owner, William HenryBruno, would “publish whenever Ifeel like it or have time to waste.”He would barter for payment, butwould not accept prunes. Newspa-pers were important in the area’searly history because the Home-steading Act required potentiallandowners to publish their stakesin a newspaper five consecutivetimes. Gabriel has been asked to holdbook signings, at Stoneville, July21, at Chamberlain where thebook was printed, at Union Centersometime in August and at Ca-puta. She is already working onher next book, about ghost townsof Meade and Perkins counties.

The Nebraska National Forestsand Grasslands Deputy Supervi-sor, Steve Lenzo, announced ex-pansion of a 1998 shooting closureto include all black-footed ferretmanagement areas located on theWall Ranger District of BuffaloGap National Grassland. The newadditions are located in three mainareas: 1. The area around Scenic, SD,north of Badlands National Park 2. The Steer Pasture Complexlocated north of Badlands NationalPark between Highway 240 andForest System Road 7116 3. The area West of Interior, SD Expansion of the current shoot-

ing closure is necessary to protecthabitat for the black-footed ferret,a federally endangered species.All closure areas were specificallydesignated as black-footed ferretreintroduction habitat in the Ne-braska National Forests andGrassland’s 2001 Land and Re-source Management Plan, includ-ing the 2008 Amendment that al-lows closure without formal com-ment periods due to changed con-ditions.

Epizootic plague, the main fac-tor leading to changed conditions,emerged in Conata Basin in 2008,

Forest Service expands shootingclosure in Conata Basin

and has resulted in a massive re-duction in habitat and correspon-ding decline in black-footed ferretpopulations. In 2007 Conata Basinwas one of the most successfulblack-footed ferret sites in NorthAmerica with a population of 335animals, but 2011 numbers havedeclined to only 72 animals.

The existing prairie dog shoot-ing closure, in effect since 1998, to-tals 60,670 acres. Even as today’snewly expanded closure adds18,755 acres, it is important tonote that due to effects of plague,remaining prairie dog towns arewidely scattered and actually oc-cupy less than 1,000 acres withinthe expanded closure.

Additionally, the Wall RangerDistrict has been selected as a sci-entific research area for efforts todevelop an oral sylvatic plaguevaccine. This three-year, field testtrial is being done with the Na-tional Wildlife Health Center,USGS, and the University of Wis-consin with the intent to haltblack-footed ferret extinction, andpotential human illness or fatali-ties in regions where prairie dogsreside. Prairie dog colonies se-lected for research will be closed toshooting throughout the field trial

period. Announcing the shooting closure

expansion Lenzo said, “I’m author-izing this action only after carefulconsideration and discussions withthe South Dakota Departments ofAgriculture and Game and Fish,and also with recreational sportsshooting groups including the Na-tional Rifle Association, VarmintHunters and the 40 organizationsrepresented by the ShootingSportsmen Round Table. Becauseof the extensive impact plague hashad on black-footed ferrets, our re-sponsibilities require action to pro-tect remaining habitat while weconcurrently provide research con-ditions to develop an effective vac-cine.”

The Forest Service recognizesthe recreational and economicvalue of sport shooting on publiclands. Approximately 8,000 acresremain open for recreationalprairie dog shooting, and morethan one million acres remainopen to recreational sport shootingon the Nebraska National Forestsand Grasslands.

The closure is immediately effec-tive and will be enforced.

FOCUS ON THE FAMILYwith Dr. JamesDobson

Dr. Dobson Answersyour Questions

QueSTioN: My spouse doesn'tget along with my parents and sib-lings, and this has led to seriousconflict in our marriage. My momand dad have always enjoyed host-ing big get-togethers with the ex-tended family, especially duringthe holidays, but things have got-ten so bad that my spouse is nolonger willing to be a part of thesegatherings. I'm tired of dealingwith all this tension and dissen-sion. Can you suggest a solution? ANSWeR: The situation you'redescribing is extremely common:in home after home, family gather-ings that are supposed to be filledwith love and warmth end up turn-ing into tense, uncomfortable con-frontations. But that doesn't meanthat you or your spouse have to re-gard this kind of conflict as accept-able or unavoidable. As intelligentand morally responsible humanbeings, you are both capable ofmaking choices that can lead topositive change. The first thing you need to do issit down together and discuss thisproblem in a rational manner.Find a time — perhaps over coffeeor after dinner at a nice restaurant— when you can lay your concernson the table and make a concertedeffort to hammer out some kind ofsolution. It's vital that the two ofyou find a way to get on the sameteam and come to a meeting of theminds over this issue. Relation-ships with extended family are animportant and inevitable part ofevery marriage. This is a fact thatyou're going to have to face to-gether if you want to build a mari-tal relationship that will go thedistance. Perhaps it would be possible towork out a compromise of somekind. For example, consider theoption of skipping certain holidaysor planning alternatives to the bigfamily gatherings every other year.When the next holiday is ap-proaching, tell your parents that,while you appreciate the invita-tion, you and your spouse have de-cided to spend a quiet Christmasor Easter with your own immedi-ate family this year. This mayhave the effect of removing some ofthe stress and tension and makingit easier for your spouse to face thefamily gathering the next timearound. A second choice would be to at-tend the gathering, but makeplans to stay at a local hotel ratherthan in your parents' home. Youmight explain that while you'relooking forward to spending timewith them, you'd also like to have

the option of reserving some timeand space to yourselves. Then, ifthings become absolutely unbear-able for you or your spouse, youcan always politely excuse your-selves and take refuge in the tran-quility of your hotel room. QueSTioN: We have threeboys in grade school and our twoolder sons are constantly pickingon their younger brother. I inter-vene when I can, but the youngestone is beginning to play the victim,and I don't want to encourage himin that attitude. How do I handlethis complicated situation? ANSWeR: If it's any consola-tion to you, you're not alone. Everyparent with more than one childdeals with sibling rivalry at somepoint or other. In some familiesthese conflicts even extend intoadulthood, with adults in their30s, 40s and 50s competing withone another like grade school kids.That's why it's important to doeverything you can to nip them inthe bud before the situation esca-lates. You didn't mention whetheryou're a single parent or not, so forpurposes of our answer we'll as-sume that you're married and thatyour sons are growing up in ahome with a present, involved and

caring father. We have a good rea-son for insisting on this point.Dads have a powerful influence ontheir sons, whether for good or ill.Boys tend to imitate their father'sbehavior, including his treatmentof other people. This leads us toask the following questions. Inyour household, does dad modelpatience, kindness and respect inhis relationship with other mem-bers of the family? Does he set firmlimits on the boys' behavior, imple-menting swift consequences whenthe older ones pick on their littlebrother? If not, it's time for him tostep up to the plate. If he is doing these things con-sistently, then the issue may bethat your older sons feel they needto compete for their mother's timeand affection. Strange as it mayseem, picking on little brother maybe a way of saying, "Mom, I wantyou to pay attention to me." In a case like this, one good wayto solve the problem is to makesure that both mom and dadschedule one-on-one time witheach of the boys a few times eachweek. This could involve some-thing as simple as a trip to storewith you, a game of catch in thepark or a walk around the neigh-borhood. If your older sons are act-ing out because they're feeling abit neglected, this individual timewith them could make a huge dif-ference in their behavior.
