by Laurie Hindman
Superintendent of the Badlands
National Park Eric Brunnemann
had presented an idea to the Wall
City Council several months ago to
place Forest Service/Badlands
Park banners on light poles by the
Buffalo Gap building. The banners
will mirror the city banners which
are on the main street poles.
Brunnemanns thought was to
get visitors into Wall which is a
gateway community and allow
them to preview everything that
Wall offers in and out of town. A
motion was made and approved for
two banners to be placed on poles
by the Buffalo Gap building.
Fred Folsom with Waste Con-
nections was present at the meet-
ing to address concerns with com-
mercial businesses taking trash
home and overloading their home
containers. Folsom said, the con-
tract between Waste Connection
and the City of Wall does not ad-
dress this issue and is not a prob-
lematic issue. The issue was
dropped.
Kelly Lurz who is co-chairman
with the Relay For Life Group in-
formed the council the event will
be held in Wall, September 14 - 15.
She has permission from the
State to block the South Boulevard
but wanted permission from the
city to set up tents and a stage
with speakers in the grass area of
the boulevard. A motion was made
and approved to allow the group to
use the boulevard and waive the
fee for the noise permit.
Anne Tice-Posley and CJ Tice
came before the council with a
question of where do we stand in
getting a S.D. Wine License. Tice-
Posley has researched the issue
and visited with Rick Hustead who
thought the most logic idea was to
apply for a Off-Sale Malt Beverage
and S.D. Wine License. Hustead
made a motion for the Mocha
Moose to obtain the license but the
motion died for lack of a second.
Mayor Dave Hahn explained the
next step is for the Mocha Moose
to visit with their attorney and
have him put together a referen-
dum. The Mocha Moose will then
have to get the appropriate num-
ber of signatures so the issue can
go to a vote. Tice-Posley said she
was baffled by what is happening
and totally represented what they
are going after, which is a gift item
for the locals and tourists. She also
pointed out to the council that
their ordinance is not correct and
this doesnt need to become a legal
battle. She informed the council
she will get the appropriate legal
documents and signatures so the
issue can go to a vote.
Carol Hodge came before the
council with a request that more
flags be displayed to show pride in
our men who have served this
country to protect us. She encour-
ages everyone in town to fly a flag.
Sgt. Dan Wardell informed the
council they have beefed up secu-
rity for the Wall Celebration and
will have saturation patrols out.
The loud music on main street
has been addressed by Deputy
Louie Lang and Wardell thought
the music is being played signifi-
cantly lower. He noted the Pan-
handling issue is being addressed
and wanted the community to
know that Deputy Jamin Hartland
and Robert Schoeberl have been
cleared to come back to work.
The final plat and Resolution 13-
06 was approved for the Sleepy
Hollow campground.
Results of the land auction re-
sulted in one bidder who pur-
chased the land for $12,500. The
paperwork will be completed soon
and the city employees will mow
the lot before the Wall Celebration.
Ordinance 13-02; Alcohol Bever-
age was reviewed. This will be the
first reading and A - D will be
stricken from the ordinance.
Ordinance 13-01; Main Street
parking will be tabled until the
next meeting so parking on Fourth
Street can be reviewed.
Ordinance 13-04; Sidewalk sales
was dropped.
Ordinance 13-03; Flood Plan
was dropped.
The Bloom lease was approved
at $2.00 an acre.
Hahn reviewed the estimates for
the I-90 light repairs. Two of the
lights on the west side are out and
need new wiring. Council went
over different options and ap-
proved to fix three lights on the
west side using continency funds
at a total cost of $18,000.
A change in lifeguard pay was
approved for $8.00 an hour and to
retroactive back pay for Junes
hours.
New council members Dan
Hauk and Gale Patterson will be
attending an elected official train-
ing in Pierre on Wednesday, July
24.

administration to let department
heads decide where the 10 percent
cuts should come from. He noted
program 8002 may be one of the
programs they cut. He asked all
board members to watch what is
closely happening in Washington,
D.C.
Rieckman noted that painting in
the hallways at school will begin
next week. Golden West has in-
stalled two security cameras and
the new security doors will be in-
stalled shortly. Bleachers at the
Powerhouse will also be installed
next week. The new bleachers at
the football field will be in place
before the season begins.

man and Sykora are putting to-
gether a power point presentation
for the board to present during the
convention.

ices.

Wall School Board re-elects
Eisenbraun as chairperson
The Wall After School Program (WASP) students participated in a program on plants. Students
were introduced to terms related to plants, such as seeds, pollen and fruit or vegetables by Linda
Hiltner from the Forest Service. The students listened to a short book on how plants grow from
seeds to the foods we eat. Then seeds are needed to grow more food. After playing a memory
card game that used the parts of plants, weather types and plant environments, the students went
outdoors to the garden project at the school. Each child received a handout to observe plants by
identifying the parts and then drawing a picture of their chosen plant in the garden.

6 Over 60 riding Coast to Coast for Wounded Warriors arrived in Wall on Sunday, July 14. The
group of six minus one who broke a hip before the journey began are in their mid-60s, retired and
good friends. They started their journey in Astoria, Oregon on June 20 and plan to end the 3,667
miles in Portsmouth, N.H. The group is riding to bring awareness to the Wounded Warrior Project.
Jim Webber one of the bicyclist said they had hoped to raise $50,000 for the project and have so
far raised $100,000. Their day can average between 30 miles to 120 miles depending on where
they are staying and the weather. Chamberlain will mark the half-way location of the journey, which
means only 1,833.5 miles left to pedal. Pictured from left to right ... Dale Lawrence, Pat Cavanagh,

Managing Herbicide
Resistant Weeds
The leadership of the CCA (Cer-
tified Crop Advisor) program
asked the members to take part in
an online survey on the issue of
herbicide-resistant weeds.
Nearly 1,700 people responded
to questions about the resistant
weed pressure in their areas, the
most effective management tools
and approaches, and the obstacles
to achieving wider adoption of best
management practices (BMPs) for
managing herbicide resistance.
The respondents came from a
variety of backgrounds, with
roughly 75 percent being retail
agronomists, independent agrono-
mists and retail sales managers.
The remaining respondents
were made up of manufacturer
representatives, wholesale repre-
sentatives, Extension and univer-
sity, production agriculture, and
government employees.
The largest number of responses
came from the north central
United States.
Forty-nine percent of respon-
dents reported a moderate level of
resistant weed pressure in their
regions, 34 percent reported mini-
mal, 12 percent heavy, three per-
cent none, and two percent an epi-
demic level.
When asked what they felt the
most effective tool was in the fight
against resistant weeds, 52 per-
cent of the CCAs said different
chemical modes of action.
Twenty-four percent listed crop
rotation, eight percent tillage,
eight percent Best Management
Practices (BMPs), four percent ed-
ucation, three percent new chemi-
cal solutions, and one percent seed.
Herbicide resistant crops have
been available for a number of
years and enjoyed a wide level of
adoption.
Nearly 60 percent of respon-
dents thought they were an exten-
sion of the problem, 25 percent
thought they were a solution to the
problem, 10 percent considered
them a tool, but not the solution,
three percent considered them a
short-term solution, and four per-
cent both a solution and extension
to the problem.
When asked what they thought
the next silver bullet in the fight
against herbicide resistant weeds
will come from, 57 percent indi-
cated knowledge and implementa-
tion of BMPs.
Nineteen percent of respondents
said there is no silver bullet, nine
percent suggested chemical solu-
tions, seven percent thought traits,
two percent reported grower inno-
vations, and one percent sug-
gested mechanical solutions. Two
percent chose a combination of
these choices, another two percent
chose all of these solutions, and
one percent selected other.
As indicated in the second para-
graph, the vast majority of respon-
dents were in some type of advi-
sory role relative to managing her-
bicide resistant weeds and were
asked what describes their grow-
ers actions/thoughts when consid-
ering adoption of weed resistant
BMPs.
Forty percent said growers
would only adopt BMPs if resist-
ant weeds became a problem in
their fields. Another 30 percent re-
sponded that their growers were at
least trying BMPs or were "jump-
ing right in" because it was the
right thing to do. Twenty-five per-
cent stated that their growers
were open to BMPs, but were also
concerned about the cost and effort
of implementing them. Three per-
cent thought their growers would
adopt BMPs only if their neigh-
bors did too, and five percent chose
other options.
Herbicide resistant weeds is a
very real problem, and becoming
worse.

formation on managing them.

July 4th Part II
Lunch and games!
We appreciate all Wastas
friends and neighbors for their
generous donations to our commu-
nity hall walkway fund. We re-
ceived about $600.00 in donations
after expenses netted about
$400.00. We will soon be ready for
a planning session.
Games Al Grenstiner and
granddaughter Madi were the
champions with a four game
straight win! Water Balloon Toss!
Al pitched for water balloon
baseball and everyone was a win-
ner! Again, we appreciate all for
coming and enjoying the day in
Wasta. A little rain didnt scare
you!
Next week, Part III, the talent
show. We will say now that it was
great and we thank both the par-
ticipants and the audience for a
most enjoyable evening.
Saturday was the Wall Celebra-
tion. We attended the parade and
really enjoyed it.
At the Lutheran Church Ice
Cream Social, we met Eldena
Haerer who asked that we say
hello to Faye Bryan. They were
close friends for many years.
Faye commented that they rode
together, worked together, played
cards together and very much en-
joyed the relationship she and
George and Eldena and Wayne
had.
And happy anniversary to El-
dena and Wayne.
Jamy and Ray Williams with
Mavrick were happily eating ice
cream as well. That is one cute and
happy baby boy.
We spied Marilyn Keyser at the
parade while Jamy Williams was
busy keeping candy from the
Golden West supply wagon to all
the out stretched hands along the
route.
Wall friends and Elm Springs
friends were added to the fun. Re-
member, Lawrence, youre down
for one tractor next July 4th in
Wasta!
Wanda Hall had a visit from son
Mike and grandson Brodan re-
cently. Wanda has been feeling
well after her hospital visit earlier
last month, so the family visit and
time together was good.
Kelly Green is working at the
Badlands Visitor Center again this
summer. Tammy said Kelly was
enjoying it a lot and what good ex-
perience.
Ash and Madi Grenstiner are at
Storm Mountain for church camp
this week. Friends Ruth Bryan
and Kassidy Sawvell attending as
well.
Last week park workers Hazel
Kalkbrenner, Dan and Diane Tur-
geon, Tammy Green and yours
truly met to put park furniture
back in place and have some time
to visit.
Just before the 4th, the above
mentioned plus Tom Rancour and
Billie Hulm met to mow, trim,
weed and sweep and then rest and
visit.
Speaking of Rancours, I havent
seen Samantha and Louie out and
about on their bikes. Usually mom,
Roberta is there as well and we ex-
change pleasantries at least.
The Elm Springs W.T.L. Club
meeting was held here at the Old
Hotel. Members present wer Jean
Linn, Dorothy Anderson, Myrna
Smith, Kelly Linn and her mother
Jean Ross. Jean is from Pueblo,
Colo., and is here visiting Kelly
and family for another week or so.
The W.T.L. Club was begun in
the early 20s and one of the by-
laws was that the hostess of the
meeting shall provide one or two
edible items of food. That is good
for me I can handle edible and
not feel badly but most club mem-
bers bake something really deli-
cious! We all had a tour of the old
place. It was a good time!
Happy Trails!

their Alishouse Cousins Reunion
which they hold every three years.
Lori and Erin Uecker returned to
Wall with Glenn and Betty for a
week long visit in preparation for
Loris 30th W.H.S. Class Reunion
on July 12th.
Mildred and Wilma Harnisch
had company on Saturday, the 6th,
from Alexandria, S.D. a cousin
of theirs, Louetta Decker. Lou-
ettas daughter and granddaugh-
ter of Omaha were with her, Jody
and Dayla Miller.
On Sunday, the 7th, some
cousins of the Harnisches from
California were in Wall to visit rel-
atives. Wayne and Pam Werning
joined Dan and Bev Dartt; Mildred
and Wilma Harnisch for supper at
the Red Rock. The Wernings were
going on to eastern South Dakota
to see more relation.
Senior Citizen potluck supper is
this Thursday evening, July 18th,
at Prairie Village. See you there!
Theme meal for July will be on
Wednesday, the 24th. Menu lists
autumn chicken, baked sweet po-
tatoes, harvard beets, tossed salad
with dressing, mandarin oranges
and cake.
Allie Kjerstad (5 years old) won
4th place in the mutton busting
contest at the wall Rodeo this past
weekend. She spent overnight Sat-
urday (a first) with grandparents
Lavern and Diane Terkildsen.
Coming for the Wall Celebration
to Norm and Betty Klingbiles
home were Wanda and Gail John-
son and Malorie and Chris Teigen.
Mike and Cheryl Jedlicka from
Sioux Falls spent the weekend
with Donna. They took in the pa-
rade and other festivities, going
home Sunday.
Leslie and Kay Williams had a
lot of family home again this past
week. Randy and Mary Williams,
their daughter Amanda Hoehe and
grandson Cooper were here from
Lincoln. Shauna, Remington and
Marlee Kay Meyerink came from
Platt for a couple days. Also Tara
and Allyna Andes; Gary, Deb and
Les Williams joined them. Seems
like summer and celebrations at-
tract company.
Lyle Williams was admitted to
the Rapid City Regional Hospital
on Thursday and was released to
go home Saturday evening. He had
a lung infection, causing fluid to
build up. Medication has helped
and he is also on oxygen. Get well
soon, Lyle.
Congratulations, Jim Bloom, for
celebrating your 80th birthday!
You will find a lot of people in that

Grady OBryan, Ft. Worth, Texas;
Taylor and family from Yankton
and Faye OBryan and family from
Rapid City.
Barry Poste and his daughter
Elizabeth came from Littleton,
Colo., to Wall on Thursday to
spend the weekend. Barry seems
to make it to the Wall Celebration
every year two things are al-
ways on his list, the ice-cream so-
cial and a hot beef sandwich. They
left for home Sunday morning.
Mark, Darlene, Amanda and
Kristina Poste came down from
Rapid City on Saturday. Mark,
Barry and Elizabeth made a quick
trip to the country later that after-
noon so Barry could see grass in-
stead of drought like other years.
Sherry and Kurth DeLand were
in Wall for the Celebration. Jim
and Leila Joyce were in the same
campground. Kurth fixed burg-
ers on Friday. The Joyces and
Frances, Barry and Elizabeth
Poste joined them for lunch.
Virginia Poste of Casper, Wyo., is
visiting her sister Shirley Ten-
nyson in Rapid City. They were
seen in amongst the other visitors
in Wall on Saturday.
Seemed like the Badlands
Alumni program was short and
sweet this year. Kay Horton
Dahlquist acted as mistress of Cer-
emonies. Jim Joyce gave a wel-
come message and Dawna Estes
Tsitrian showed everyone she can
still get toe-tapping music out of
her sax. Will Hustead favored us
with a solo and the audience par-
ticipation was great in singing
some of the Golden Oldies.
Names of all those who passed
away this past year were read and
Deb Bryan lit a candle for each.
Honored graduates were seated on
the stage Bud Estes (W 37), the
most years since graduation with
76; Iva Albin Eisenbraun and Pat
ONeil (W 38) 75 years; Edith Se-
bade Paulsen and Merl Flatt (W
43) 70 years; Esther Harnisch
Hoefs (W 48) 65 years; and Neva
Knapp Hamann, Darlene Allburn
Kringer, Pam McHan Fischer and
Helen Becker Crawford (W 63) 50
years. Goodies were served after
the program so you could visit. Ei-
lene Flatt was honored for her 40
years working with the Alumni As-
sociation.
The 5K Run/Walk (Relay For
Life) started early on Saturday
morning with quite a number of
participants. (Kay Leonard was
among them.) It was said they
made over $1,000 good for
them!
J.B. Hoffman (W 71) was in
Wall for the Celebration with his
car in the parade. He had put it to-
gether using parts from all makes
of cars so I dont know what make
or model he calls his production. It
certainly drew attention.
Congratulations and the best of
wishes go out to the newly wed
couple, Pastor Darwin and Terri
Kopfmann. A special fellowship
time after church services on Sun-
day at the Methodist Church wel-
comed Terri and doubled as a wed-
ding reception. Sandwiches, chips
and a beautiful wedding cake were
served.
We offer our sympathy to the
family of Jean Burns who passed
away in Philip, July 7, 2013. Her
brother Max is a resident in Wall.
Had a call from granddaughter
Michelle Lamphere, on Monday.
After working for the Lester family
(Holiday Inn by Civic Center) for
21 years, she decided it was time
to move on. So, not long ago, she
quit her job, sold her house and is
touring the countryside with a
friend, before settling down to new
employment. They have been in
Canada and are now in Saint
John, New Brunswick.
The cloudy, cool day on Sunday
was a relief after quite a few days
of heat. Monday was cloudy off and
on but not too high a temperature.
We shouldnt be fussy as it is July.
Rain would be most welcome.
He who plants thorns must
never expect to gather roses.

Good Earth dedication July 19
On July 19, South Dakota will offi-
cially dedicate Good Earth State
Park at Blood Run as its first new
state 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 natural
beauty and provide an excellent edu-
cational opportunity about a site that
was a peaceful Native American trad-
ing and ceremonial center for cen-
turies.
Good Earth State Park at Blood
Run is located just southeast of Sioux
Falls and is part of the Blood Run
National Historic Landmark. The
landmark lies on both sides of the Big
Sioux River at the mouth of Blood
Run Creek, and includes over 3,000
acres of land in South Dakota and
Iowa.
The river, abundant wildlife, fertile
flood plains, availability of pipestone
and protection from winds made the
site an important gathering place
and trading center for American In-
dians from 1350 to 1700 A.D. During
the latter part of that period, Blood
Run was the largest Oneota site
known to exist anywhere. Archeolo-
gists speculate that there were 6,000
to 10,000 people utilizing the village
that served as a trade and ceremonial
center for the entire region.
The park was officially designated
as a state park during the 2013 Leg-
islative session but the project has
been in the works for several
decades.
The National Park Service recog-
nized the sites cultural and historical
significance and named Blood Run a
National Historic Landmark in 1970.
Over the next several decades, the
states of South Dakota and Iowa pur-
chased pieces of land within the land-
mark.
The major acquisitions came re-
cently in South Dakota, where over
400 acres of pristine natural property
have been added to the park over the
last two years.
Partnerships have been key to
this project from the beginning, said
Doug Hofer, South Dakota State
Parks Director. The outpouring of
support from both public and private
entities bas been phenomenal.
Hofer noted The Conservation
Fund as an important partner. As a
national non-profit organization ded-
icated to saving special places and
land for public use, the organization
acquired a key portion of the park
and held it until funding was avail-
able for the state to purchase the
property.
Hofer also praised the many
donors that have contributed to the
project, as well as the South Dakota
Parks and Wildlife Foundation for
their major role in leading the
fundraising effort.
The dedication, which is open to
the public, will take place 11 a.m. to
12 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 the
new park will be offered following the
ceremony.

Earth State Park at Blood Run, visit
