$1.00 (tax included) Number 14 Volume 108 April 4, 2013 by Laurie Hindman A special meeting was held by the Wall School Board on Monday, March 25. President Scot Eisenbraun opened the meeting and roll call was answered yes by the following: Eisenbraun, Pam Johnson, Spencer Cordes, Carolynn Ander- son, Mary Williams, Kevin Biel- maer and Todd Trask. Superintendent Dennis Rieck- man gave an update on Impact Aid. He said, Impact Aid is getting a little crazy and the Wall School District may not get their full pay- ment due to agencies interperting the new technical amendment. He noted that Custer and Hill City are in the same boat. Rieckman will Interior Volunteer Fire Depart- ment (VFD) will be hosting their Grand Opening of their new Fire Hall on Saturday, April 13th, start- ing at 6 p.m. They will be serving Burgers and Brats, beans, salads and chips. You can also dance to Phatt Daddy, a great country western/rock band. Interior VFD for the last ten years have been planning a new fire hall. In October 2012, they broke ground on a new 60x100 with 6 - 12x12 doors, meeting room, kitchen and two bathrooms. The building was constructed by the volunteer members and area By Elizabeth “Sam” Grosz Community News Service There was not quite enough sup- port by South Dakota Senators to overturn the Governor’s veto of providing certain research money to SDSU. The House also upheld two line-item vetoes issued by the Governor. Legislators considered the ve- toes during the final day of the 2013 South Dakota Legislative session on January 25. SB115 would have increased the commercial fertilizer inspection fee to pay for fertilizer-related re- search and created the Nutrient Research Education Council. Gov. Dennis Daugaard, in issu- ing the veto, said this was a new tax, which he found “particularly objectionable,” because the tax “benefits a government agency-- the Agricultural Experiment Sta- tion--that is already receiving an ongoing increase of more than 10 percent and an increase of eight new full-time equivalent state em- ployees.” Senator Shantel Krebs, R-Ren- ner, had argued for overturning the veto because the extra 15-cents would provide “localized research data that enables the U.S. Depart- ment of Ag, specifically the Natu- ral Resource Conservation Service, to adopt national nutrient man- agement practices that are specific to South Dakota conditions… our producers, our growers need to know what those standards should be.” Sen. Jason Frerichs, D-Wilmot, said the bill provided “targeted re- search dollars to our land grant university.” Sen. Corey Brown, R-Gettys- burg, said he found it “little bit awkward for me to come out in op- position to this bill,” since he rep- resents a very rural district. How- ever, he said the bill was designed to cover the cost of a particular program, and a tax is generally broader in concept. Petitions are in for the Wall City Council, Wasta City Council and Wall School Board. Wall City Council Ward I seat will be filled by Dan Hauk, who was the only one to turn in a peti- tion. Mike Anderson will retain his Ward II seat. There are three canidates run- ning for Ward III: Gale Patterson, Jackie Kusser and Joseph Leach.

No grants or loans were taken out on the building project and the entire project was paid for by con- tracting fire trucks and personnel to help fight fires in South Dakota, and donations from the commu- nity. Their old fire hall was 30x60 with one overhead door, five trucks and the sixth truck in cold storage next to that. The New Fire Hall is completed and they are moved in. Please come and enjoy a great evening of food music and bever- age and help them celebrate a great accomplishment by some highly dedicated volunteers. olynn Anderson and Kevin Biel- maier were unopposed for their po- sitions. Wasta City Council will be hav- ing an election for a three-year term with Justin Crawford and Tom Rancour running for that seat while Kendall Kjerstad and Norm Current are running against each other for a one-year term. The Wasta ballot will also have an Ini- titive that residents will vote on. The election will be held Tues- day, June 4. Sen. Larry Tidemann, R-Brook- ings, said he thought there was value in having public research, rather than leaving the research to the commercial producers of fertil- izer. It was noted that other agri- culture states are also doing the research for their particular condi- tions, which this was designed to do for South Dakota. Daugaard said he had recom- mended a $1 million increase in his FY14 budget proposal, which the Legislature adopted and added yet another $500 thousand in one- time funding. This more than fully restored the FY12 general fund cuts, he said. “Beyond these dollars, federal funds and other funds spending has increased almost 16 percent over pre-cut levels,” said Dau- gaard. “The Agricultural Experi- ment Station is one of the few pro- grams in state government that has seen its funding restored fully.” Veto override proponents gar- nered 22 votes in favor, however that was not enough for the two- thirds needed and Daugaard’s veto stood. The House agreed with the Gov- ernor’s assessment of portions of two bills, HB1137 and HB1185, that had estimated fall enrollment of technical schools and K-12 for certain funding using 2012, rather than 2013. Daugaard said he did not disagree with the Legislature’s intent to distribute money to edu- cation. “The Legislature can use a letter of intent to clarify its inten- tion to distribute the technical in- stitute funding according to the funding formula, and the K-12 funding according to the FY2013 actual student FTE,” said Dau- gaard, adding, “It is my intention to instruct that these funds be dis- tributed according to the letter of intent.” Both the Senate and the House heard the final gavel of the 2013 session shortly after noon. Gov’s vetoes supported by S.D. Legislature on final day Three petitions were filed for Wall City Council Ward III position Sand County Foundation, the South Dakota Cattlemen's Associ- ation and the South Dakota Grass- land Coalition are proud to an- nounce the finalists for the 2013 Leopold Conservation Award, which honors South Dakota landowner achievement in volun- tary stewardship and manage- ment of natural resources. The finalists are as follows: •Cammack Ranch of Union Center •Guptill Ranch of Quinn •Jorgenson Land and Cattle Partnership of Ideal •Slovek Ranch of Philip Cammack Ranch is a 7,000-acre cattle ranch in west central South Dakota. The ranch is owned by Gary and Amy Cammack, who also own Cammack Ranch Supply in Union Center. Guptill Ranch in western South Dakota is a 7,000-acre cattle oper- ation.

Given in honor of renowned con- servationist Aldo Leopold, the Leopold Conservation Award rec- ognizes extraordinary achieve- ment in voluntary conservation. It inspires other landowners through these examples and provides a vis- ible forum where farmers, ranch- ers and other private landowners are recognized as conservation leaders. In his influential 1949 book, "A Sand County Almanac," Leopold called for an ethical rela- tionship between people and the land they own and manage, which he called "an evolutionary possibil- ity and an ecological necessity." Award applicants are judged based on their demonstration of improved resource conditions, in- novation, long-term commitment to stewardship, sustained eco- nomic viability, community and civic leadership, and multiple use benefits. "Our South Dakota finalists are tremendously committed to stew- ardship of natural resources and to sharing what they've learned with the broader community," said Brent Haglund, president, Sand County Foundation. "They truly Finalists named in South Dakota Leopold Conservation Award program for 2013 work to enhance the South Dakota landscape." The 2013 award recipient, who will receive $10,000 and a crystal depicting Aldo Leopold, will be an- nounced April 19. The recipient will be recognized at the South Dakota Cattlemen's Association's Annual Convention in December. "The Leopold Conservation Award is an important tool in help- ing us celebrate the conservation efforts of South Dakota's private landowners and SDCA is proud to recognize these finalists for mak- ing conservation a priority in their family businesses," said Cory Eich, a cow-calf producer and president of the South Dakota Cattlemen's Association. "Each year I'm impressed by the quality of the applicants for the Leopold Conservation Award. It proves to us all that South Dakota is fortunate to have responsible landowners whose stewardship sets an example for others to fol- low," said Jim Faulstich, chair- man, South Dakota Grassland Coalition.

The duo spend March 25 - 28 teaching their unique acoustic music and dance steps to students. On March 25 a concert was held at the Wall Gym to showcase the songs and dance steps the stu- dents had learned throught out the week. Kim McKee is a Colorado native, classical training was her founda- tion, but traditional folk music be- came her passion. In the late 70’s early 80’s traditional music was not that readily available, so she did her research by attending fes- tivals, gathering unusual folk in- struments, studying books, inter- viewing people from Ireland and Scotland, collecting stories and songs, having music sent from abroad. She was virtually ob- sessed! Kim has won numerous awards including the National Mountain Dulcimer Championship in 2002, and four time award winner at the Milwaukee Irish Festival song- writing contest. Writing poetry, stories, songs and miscellaneous word endeav- ors, keeps the landscapes, people and experiences alive within her work. Ken Willson grew up in rural Minnesota and North Dakota. The early musical memories for him were cherished local events like variety shows, church music, fam- ily-made music and other grass- roots experiences. Self-taught and determined, he passed through several musical lives, performing with many rock, country, bluegrass and other types of bands. Winning performance awards in such faraway places as Australia, Ken has honed his skills on stage through decades of performance and dedication to his "roots" of acoustic folk music. This residency is made available in part by the South Dakota Arts Council with funds from the State of South Dakota Department of Tourism and the National Endow- ment for the Arts.

S.D. farm income increases in 2012 A number of factors contributedto the increase. The farming 2011year was very good in both thelivestock and crop enterprises. Inthe 2012 year the livestock enter-prises just broke even with thehigher feed input prices, and thehigher harvest time grain and feedprices helped the crop enterprisesas most farmers had bought up ontheir crop insurance coverage lev-els. Good progress was made to-wards increasing net worth orowner’s equity. A change in equityof $218,062 was realized by the av-erage farm, a 14 percent increasein 2012. In 2011 the change in eq-uity was an increase of $234,570 or16 percent. Gains can occur as a result of in-vesting farm income into capitalassets or repaying debt. Furtherevidence of the range of profitabil-ity can be seen in the equitychange between the high and lowprofit farms.

70 years ago… The Wall Firemen were calledout Saturday afternoon to fight aprairie fire about thirty milesnortheast of town. Several cars,along with the chemical wagonand portable grass fire extinguish-ers, got as far as five miles north ofQuinn, when they learned that thefire was under control.

The swollen, turgid Missouririver boiled past Pierre at thehighest level recorded since 1881,and reports of a continued rise inthe stream at Mobridge, 100 milesupstream, presaged possible un-presented flood conditions here.Close to 40 homes along Missouriavenue, first street up from thestream, had river in their back-yards and several were completelysurrounded. Many families weremoving out in anticipation of anexpected further rise. Damagethus far, however, was confinedprincipally to flooding of base-ments by backed up sewers. Latestofficial reading was 18.90 on theriver guage, at noon, representingabout a three-inch rise in the pre-ceeding six hours. Flood state is 15feet. 60 years ago… About midnight, last Thursday,Sheriff Glen Best was notified thata car had been left burning in themiddle of the highway about fivemiles east of Quinn. Glen drovedown from Rapid City to investi-gate. He stopped in Wall to getBryce Kennedy to drive out withhim to pick up the car. They foundthe car as reported — a 1941 Ply-mouth sans license and anythingelse that might show ownership,standing in the center of the roadstill smoldering.

Wasta WanderingsSubmitted by

Lloyd & Margee Willey Arizona wanderings: The desertseemed quite bleak and colorlessafter the great abundance of trop-ical greenery and shade of Florida. Soon, though, the desert’s ownuniqueness sets in and begins tochallenge the eye to seek and ap-preciate the tiny flower, the purplehue to the sky at times and so yousmile and say, “Well, it just is whatit is.” While we mortals may try tocarve a bit of South Dakota or NewYork or Iowa out of the desert,guess what? It’s still the desertand in its way pretty spectacular! We’ve enjoyed great-grandsonSkylar Patterson and have gonefishing with him and attended hisbaseball games. Just so none of you back homeare concerned that Lloyd and Imight become too idle for ourhealth and well being, we arepleased to share with all of youthat we do have a medium sizeproject we are taking on. We have had an ongoing battlewith termites here at our deserthome. At this time the score isprobably 3-1, with us having the“1”, termites “3”. There have been several addi-tions to this smallish place, all

being done before our time andkind of hap-hazard, so while ourpresent project was not a thing ofbeauty, five or six years ago we didmake some cosmetic improve-ments, sanding, painting, newfloor covering, some exterior workand it looked pretty good. Lastyear we noticed the “termite trail”but put off repairs until anothertime. So here we are now at the an-other time. Paneling is off,munched on wood made visible sothe fun now begins! Fortunately atthis point it appears only one walland a small section of flooringneeds replacing. Enough aboutwork! The friendly woodpeckerstopped off at the hummingbirdfeeder for a quick slurpie and is,I’m sure, loudly thanking Lloyd forkeeping the jug full. We do have ahummingbird who also visits, buthe is not so vocal in his thanks. Adove is nesting in the tall saguarocactus, the quail make their twicedaily passage from their nestingplaces across the road as theyscout for feedings and leavingsfrom snowbirds and resident birdsalike. They are so entertaining towatch! The creosote bush is coveredwith tiny yellow flowers and manybees! Also noticed are the ocotillo(ocoteo) with tall spears risingfrom a center clump with a clusterof purple flowers on the end. We think of you friends andneighbors at home and wish youwarmer temperatures and goodmoisture. Happy Trails!

Spring is here, with its Aprilshowers, watching robins pluckingtheir tasty morsels from theground, green grass, and the soundof lawn mowers purring off in thedistance. Speaking of robins, didyou know that a baby robin eats 14feet of earthworms daily? That's alot of chow that mama robin musthustle up. Are you hustling like themama robin everyday? She sets agood example for all of us. Speaking of hustling, does any-one remember the popular songback in the disco days of the late70s and the early 80's called, "Dothe Hustle?" Personally, I amthankful that the age of disco islong past, but the song's title doesremind me of something that we allneed to do every day-wake up eachmorning and think, "Do the hus-tle!" Do the hustle with PURPOSE!Set goals and make sure you havea written plan; then follow it. It'sno good to just flit from one thingto the next in a busy frenzy, nor isit good to wander through your dayaimlessly. Know where you are andwhere you are going, and how youare going to get from here to there. Do the hustle with EXCEL-LENCE! Strive to excel in every-

thing you do, always doing yourvery best. Never allow yourself tobe lazy. Be persistent and diligentin completing the tasks set beforeyou this day. Do the hustle with PASSION!Don't let fear or discouragementhold you back from taking risks.Embrace life with an enthusiasmthat motivates you even when theroad gets tough and you feel your-self losing steam. Do the hustle with VISION! Lifeis not just the here and now. Todayis only a small piece of the puzzle.Take some time today to look at thebig picture to get a better perspec-tive on things. Purpose! Excellence! Passion! Vi-sion! These are some of the mostvital key elements found in the lifeof one who is considered successful.So, what are you waiting for? Geton out there and "Do the Hustle!"

Posted By Pastor Cornelius R. StamThe self-righteous Pharisees had brought a fallen

woman to Jesus and, “when they had set her in themidst”, they began to accuse her, saying: “Now Moses inthe law commanded us, that such should be stoned: butwhat sayest Thou?” (John 8:5).

They were using this fallen woman to embarrass theLord into agreeing that this woman should be stoned, orelse leaving Himself open to a charge of repudiatingMoses’ Law.

At first He made “as though He heard them not”, but,when they continued asking, they got what they askedfor! Simply answering: “He that is without sin among you,let him first cast a stone at her”, the Lord turned awayagain to let that sentence do its work. They had “set herin the midst”. Now He had set them in the midst and,“being convicted by their own conscience”, they “went outone by one” (Ver.9).

And there stood the woman alone before Him: a greatsinner and a great Saviour. Since none of the Phariseeshad dared to cast a stone at her, the Lord said: “Neitherdo I condemn thee: go, and sin no more” (Ver.11).

Thus the Lord graciously forgave the sinner-woman,yet without ignoring the demand of the Law. He had notdenied that the woman deserved punishment. He hadonly pointed out that the Pharisees themselves were sin-ners; that they, like she, needed a Saviour.

Thank God! Since “Christ died for our sins”, God canjustly forgive us — and He will, IF we but acknowledgeour sin and our need of a Saviour, and do not join the self-righteous who keep “going about to establish their ownrighteousness” (Rom.10:3).

“This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation,that Christ Jesus came into the world to save SINNERS…” (I Tim.1:15). God is very gracious to those who will ac-knowledge their sin and their need: “For the same Lordover all is RICH UNTO ALL THAT CALL UPON HIM.”

“FOR WHOSOEVER SHALL CALL UPONTHE NAME OF THE LORD SHALL BE SAVED”(Rom. 10:12,13).

The Wall Volunteer Fire Depart-ment was called into action onWednesday, March 30, to fight astubble fire northwest of Wall.Local firefighters had to battle theelements, as well as the fire, onsome of Delbert Paulsen’s land.The exact reason for the start ofthe blaze was not determined, butit was believed that the exhaustpipe from a state-owned vehicle setthe fire off. State workers had beentesting the area for gravel for twoor three days, according to Mrs.Paulsen, and one of the vehiclesgot stuck. Apparently, in theprocess of trying to get the vehicleout, the exhaust pipe got hotenough to start the fire.
