A new study done for the U.S.
Chamber of Commerce credits
South Dakota as the top state in
the nation when it comes to rea-
sonable taxes and business regula-
tions.
And the Enterprising States
study rates South Dakota in the
Top 10 when it comes to economic
performance, a talented workforce
and being in the best position to
prosper in the next five to 10
years.
These accolades are testament
to common sense policies that
allow for business development
with reasonable taxes and regula-
tions,said Gov. Dennis Daugaard.
South Dakota is making its mark
in the global economy by expand-
ing existing businesses and at-
tracting new ones; providing a
quality workforce and helping
train workers who need additional
skills; increasing exports; and im-
proving the quality of life for our
residents.
In ranking South Dakota as No.
1 on taxes and regulations, the En-
terprising States study says the
Mount Rushmore state ranks in
the top five in four categories: tax
environment for mature firms,
overall tax environment for busi-
ness, business closure rate, and
the small business survival index.
The state has no corporate in-
come tax, no personal income tax,
and no tax on business invento-
ries, greatly lowering tax burdens
S.D. gets high marks for creating
healthy economic environment
on companies, the study says. In
addition to pledging to hold the
line on taxes, Gov. Dennis Dau-
gaard made regulatory reform one
of his key initiatives focused on im-
proving South Dakotas business
climate.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce
study made a special note of Gov.
Daugaards Better Government
initiative, begun in 2011 to review
the states regulatory climate and
streamline state government in-
teractions with businesses. The
study also lauds the governors
South Dakota Workforce Initia-
tives (WINS) strategy of improving
education, increasing worker
training, expanding health-care
jobs and opportunities in rural
areas, and attracting new resi-
dents with valuable job skills.
Enterprising States rates South
Dakota No. 5 in the nation for ed-
ucating and training workers, and
No. 7 for growth, productivity and
livability.
The study also said South
Dakota is No. 9 among potential
boom states whose economies are
expected to have steady growth
and job creation within the next
decade.
Known for its friendly business
climate, South Dakota ranks
eighth in long-term job perform-
ance, fifth in projected job growth
and fourth in per capita personal
income growth, the study con-
cludes.
Americas Best Value Inn
escapes fire damage
The Wall Volunteer Fire Department was called to the Americas
Best Value Inn on Tuesday, June 19 when sparks from construc-
tion work landed on an outside wall and began to smolder. The
fire department knocked down pieces of the outside wall and
quickly extinguished the smoldering embers before further dam-
age could occur. Pictured left ... Fire Chief Jim Kitterman feels
for heat on the area that was smoldering.

The U.S. Forest Service cele-
brates 75 years of National Grass-
lands, showcasing the beauty, his-
tory and economic value of these
national treasures on the anniver-
sary of the legislation that estab-
lished them.
Americas 20 national grass-
lands, spanning 12 states and four
million acres, were created
through the Bankhead-Jones
Farm Tenant Act of 1937, author-
izing the federal government to ac-
quire damaged lands for rehabili-
tation. Thirteen of these national
grasslands reside in the Great
Plains, where the ravages of the
Dust Bowl left the soil bare of veg-
etation for years. Today, the bene-
fits grasslands provide are valued
in the billions of dollars.
Our national grasslands re-
main beautiful examples of suc-
cessful restoration programs, said
U.S. Forest Service Chief Tom Tid-
well. These lands are once again
US Forest Service celebrates 75
years of national grasslands
rich habitats brimming with na-
tive wildlife, grasses and wildflow-
ers. They are also economic en-
gines, generating jobs and bolster-
ing rural American communities.
The national grasslands offer a
wealth of recreation and education
opportunities for more than one
million annual visitors. The grass-
lands feature some of the worlds
best bird-watching experiences as
well as camping, hiking, biking,
fishing, hunting, horseback riding,
target shooting, off-highway vehi-
cle riding, picnicking and learning
activities. Scenic drives offer
unique geological features, wildlife
and stellar locations for stargaz-
ing.
History buffs can visit old ceme-
teries and homesteads and take
guided tours of Native American
petroglyphs. They can also share
in the experience of early settlers
and their trek on the Santa Fe
Trail.
It took decades to restore the
national grasslands from the bar-
ren landscapes of the Dust Bowl,
to the rich prairie habitats we see
today, said Tidwell. Every Amer-
ican should experience these
unique grasslands that are so
much a part of our rich natural
heritage.
The national grasslands provide
tremendous benefits including pol-
lination of native and agricultural
plants estimated at six billion an-
nually. Livestock grazing and en-
ergy ventures including oil, gas,
coal and wind also contribute to
the economic benefits provided by
these lands. They help prevent
drought and floods, maintain bio-
diversity, generate and preserve
soils, contribute to climate stabil-
ity and protect watersheds,
streams and river channels.
These lands were managed by
the USDAs Soil and Conservation
Service, now the Natural Re-
sources Conservation Service,
until 1960 when they were trans-
ferred to the U.S. Forest Service
and designated as national grass-
lands.
The mission of the U.S. Forest
Service is to sustain the health, di-
versity, and productivity of the na-
tion's forests and grasslands to
meet the needs of present and fu-
ture generations. Recreational ac-
tivities on our lands contribute
$14.5 billion annually to the U.S.
economy. The agency manages 193
million acres of public land, pro-
vides assistance to state and pri-
vate landowners, and maintains
the largest forestry research or-
ganization in the world.

Walkers open The Rock Lounge and Casino
Harlan, Lori and Chad Walker
have been busy with painting and
moving the NAPA parts store to the
back of the building. This will add
more room for the Red Rock. Lori
said, We needed more seating for
the restaurant and since we had a
Beer/Wine liquor license we
thought why not add a Rock
Lounge and Casino.
The revamped area has the feel
of a sports bar with five wide
screen TVs. Walkers plan to add
another TV in the near future. Lori
said, We have locals who like to
come in during their lunch time
and sit in here and watch TV while
they have their meal.
A pool table now fills the space
where an office once was and a
ping-pong table that is self-folding
can be moved around to allow for
more tables to be set up. Lori noted
that the tables when set up and
used have red table clothes which
adds a nice touch to the room.
Extra seating is essential when
holding private parties or meet-
ings, said Lori.
A Touch Tunes Digital Jutebox
with sound by Bose is ready to rock
the house when darts are being
played or a mean game of Foosball
is going on.
The new bar area has a chill
cooler for aluminum beer bottles
which keeps them at a constant
temperature of 32 degrees.
Six video lottery machines sit in
a room right off the lounge and the
lounge now sports new tables and
chairs.
Walkers are in the process of set-
ting up shelves in a different part
of the store for the complete line of
NAPA parts they have carried
since 1997. Lori added, we are not
downsizing our NAPA line, we just
moved the inventory to the back of
the building. The door to the part
store is in the back and through
the blue door.
Whether youre waiting for
lunch or parts stop in and check
the newest addition to the busi-
ness and town of Wall.
The Rock Lounge and Casino owner Lori Walker stands behind
the new bar that was recently installed in the NAPA side of the
building. NAPA has now moved to the back of the business and
Walkers will continue to carry their full line of auto parts.

The Nebraska National Forests
and Grasslands is seeking public
comments on a proposed land ex-
change between The Nature Con-
servancy, a Not for Profit Corpora-
tion and the Forest Service. The
primary purpose of the Cain Creek
Land Exchange is to consolidate
land ownership where private and
National Forest System (NFS)
lands are intermixed, and to ac-
quire black footed ferret habitat in
the Conata Basin.
Federal land parcels proposed
for exchange lie on the Buffalo Gap
National Grassland between Hots
Springs and Kadoka. All legal de-
scriptions reference the Black
Hills Meridian and lie in Fall
River, Pennington, and Jackson
Counties of South Dakota.
This proposed land exchange
would provide better public access
Public input sought on proposed
Cain Creek Land Exchange
to public lands, allow more effec-
tive management of public and pri-
vate lands, and enhance black
footed ferret habitat, said Steve
Lenzo, Acting Forest Supervisor.
We welcome comments from the
public during this scoping period,
he said.
The purpose of the scoping pe-
riod is to request initial public
comments to help identify the
scope of issues to be studied in an
environmental analysis of the pro-
posal, to recommend alternatives,
and offer mitigation measures.
Comments will be taken until July
30, 2012.

Social Security Public
Affairs Specialist
Question:
Recently, I was told I shouldnt
be carrying my Social Security
card around. Is that true?
Answer:
We encourage you to keep your
Social Security card at home in a
safe place. Do not carry it with you
unless you are taking it to a job in-
terview or to someone who re-
quires it. Identity theft is one of
the fastest growing crimes in
America, and the best way to avoid
becoming a victim is to safeguard
your card and number. To learn
more, visit our Social Security
number and card page at
http://www.socialsecurity.gov/ss-
number.
Question:
I have been getting Social Secu-
rity disability benefits for many
years. Im about to hit my full re-
tirement age. What will happen to
my disability benefits?
Answer:
When you reach full retirement
age, we will switch you from dis-
ability to retirement benefits. But
you wont even notice the change
because your benefit amount will
stay the same. Its just that when
you reach retirement age, we con-
sider you to be a retiree and not
a disability beneficiary. To learn
more, visit our website www.so-
cialsecurity.gov.
Question:
I cant find my Medicare card
and I need a replacement. Do I
need to come into the office?
Answer:
You can get your Medicare card
replaced without leaving your
home. Just go online to
http://www.socialsecurity.gov/medi
carecard/ and get your new
Medicare card sent to your home.
Simply fill out the requested infor-
mation and youll get your new
Medicare card within 30 days; it
will be mailed to your address on
record. If you need temporary
proof of Medicare coverage, call
our toll-free number at 1-800-772-
1213 to request a letter and you
will receive it in the mail within 7
to 10 days. If you need immediate
proof of your Medicare coverage,
please visit your local Social Secu-
rity office.
Question:
When will I receive my Social
Security statement?
Answer:
In light of the current budget
situation, we are sending Social
Security statements in the mail
only to workers age 60 and older.
If this applies to you, you should
receive your annual statement
about three months before your
birthday.
If you are age 18 or older, you
may get your Statement online
after creating an account at
http://www.socialsecurity.gov/mys-
tatement/. Also, you may be able to
estimate your retirement benefit
using our online retirement esti-
mator at "http://www.socialsecu-
rity.gov/estimator/.

Your questions, Social Securitys answers
By Gov. Dennis Daugaard
Much has changed in agricul-
ture since I milked cows as a kid.
Extraordinary technological ad-
vances in the last few years are re-
sulting in higher yields and in-
creased outputs with fewer im-
pacts on the environment. This in-
credible growth in productivity of-
fers tremendous opportunities for
economic development through a
variety of value-added enterprises.
Farming and ranching opera-
tions do more than support the
farmers or ranchers who own
them. They also support employ-
ees, local cooperatives, gas sta-
South Dakota agriculture means business
tions, veterinarians, banks,
schools, and other Main Street
businesses.
Agriculture generates 20 per-
cent of our states economic activ-
ity, and we tend to get complacent
when commodity prices are high
and times are good. But good times
dont last forever, and we must
continue to grow and diversify this
industry.
To explore new ways of expand-
ing South Dakota agricultural
businesses from increasing inter-
national trade and exports to fur-
ther developing our livestock in-
dustry I am hosting the 2012
Governors Ag Development Sum-
mit on June 27 in Pierre. The
Summit will be a forum for a series
of thoughtful conversations on
agriculture and emphasize ways
agricultural businesses can thrive
in our state.
There are still spaces available
for this important Summit, so reg-
ister online at http://sdda.sd.gov or
call the South Dakota Department
of Agriculture at 605-773-5436.
South Dakota has the land, the
people, the drive, and the opportu-
nity to build this important eco-
nomic sector for the next genera-
tion. We must look for ways right
now to bring in quality develop-
ment that will help keep agricul-
ture as South Dakotas No. 1 in-
dustry. We need to do this by look-
ing for areas capable of sustaining
development and supporting them
in preparation for it.
The Governors Ag Development
Summit will help lead us down the
path for future growth and pro-
gression of our agriculture indus-
try. I hope to see you there.

At a special Jackson County
Commissioners meeting on Fri-
day, June 29 at 8:00 p.m., the com-
missioners will be seeking public
opinion regarding the fate of the
drivers licensing service.
Should Jackson County continue
providing the service, or discon-
tinue it?
Input will be taken from not
only Jackson County, but sur-
rounding counties as well.
Since entering into the agree-
ment with the South Dakota Dept.
of Public Safety in 2004, many of
the state wide services have been
reduced or eliminated across the
state.
Jackson County receives $5.00
per license fee and the workload
has increased throughout the
Jackson County seeking input
regarding fate of license service
years.
The county is considering hiring
additional staff for the increased
workload.
People travel a long distance to
obtain their licenses in Jackson
County, which is available Monday
through Friday. The next nearest
place to renew or obtain a license
is Mission, Jones County or Mar-
tin; these sites only offer the serv-
ice on limited days.
The State has denied Jackson
Countys request for allowing the
county to retain one-half of the li-
cense fee.
According to a legal notice, If
funding is not found, the commis-
sioners are considering discontin-
uing the services.
The upcoming Fourth of July
holiday is always a busy time in
South Dakota's state parks and
recreation areas. As you celebrate,
Game, Fish and Parks Depart-
ment officials ask you to please
leave fireworks at home.
According to Doug Hofer, state
parks and recreation director,
State Park visitors should
leave fireworks at home
campgrounds are traditionally
very busy with campers and other
visitors enjoying the parks during
the Independence Day period.
Combining fireworks and large
numbers of people creates a dan-
gerous situation, said Hofer. We
appreciate your help to keep the
parks safe and fun this Fourth of
July.
Discharging fireworks is prohib-
ited on all lands owned or leased
by the South Dakota Department
of Game, Fish and Parks. The ban
includes state parks, recreation
areas, lakeside use areas, game
production areas and nature
areas. Discharging fireworks is
also illegal within the boundaries
of the Black Hills Forest Fire Pro-
tection District, national forests
and national parks in South
Dakota.

South Dakota State Parks, visit

On top of all of that, medical
knowledge seems to continually
change as science makes even
greater breakthroughs and discov-
eries. Good information appears to
always be in evolution.
So where can you turn, to find
honest, concentrated, comprehen-
sible, and up-to-date truth?
Remember that your best source
of information would always be to
go to your doctor, and ask her/him
about your special case. There is
nothing better than a good pa-
tient-physician relationship.
We should use all the help we
can get during this misinforma-
tion age.
Dr. Rick Holm wrote this edito-
rial for On Call, a weekly pro-
gram where medical professionals
discuss health concerns for the
general public. On Call is pro-
duced by the Healing Words Foun-
dation in association with the
South Dakota State University
Journalism Department. On
Call airs Thursdays on South

vision at 7 p.m. Central, 6 p.m.

The Prairie Doc Perspective
By Richard P. Holm MD
This is the information age.
Sometimes I think it should be
called the misinformation age.
It's a time of so much informa-
tion that is not based on truth, but
rather on selling a product. And
information about health care is
not immune from such influence.
There are false promises galore:
hair growth, weight loss, bone
strength, increased vigor to im-
prove sexual function, pain relief,
increased brain power, and even
perpetual youth! Advertisers try to
bring the listener to want this
treatment or that cure. It is a time
when marketing seems to have al-
most replaced science.
And it is a time of a new mas-
sive resource of health informa-
tion: the Internet, which provides
for some very good information
and a significant amount of misin-
formation. The Internet is not only
problematic because of the exces-
sive quantity of information, but
also because of the quality.
Even when it seems high qual-
ity data, too often it appears con-
fusing, not understandable, and
sometimes contradictory.

South Dakota archery hunters
have a few changes to be aware of
for the 2012 Archery Deer Season.
Brookings, Deuel, Hamlin and Mc-
Cook Counties have been added to
the restricted area where only one
Single-Tag Antlerless Deer license
is valid.
Any antlerless deer licenses will
not be valid in the Sand Lake Na-
tional Wildlife Refuge during the
Archery Deer Season.
During the archery deer season,
Archery, muzzleloader, youth deer, fall turkey
and archery antelope hunting seasons finalized
45 Any Antlerless Deer and five
Any Deer resident access permits
will be allowed for the Adams
Homestead and Nature Preserve
and five Any Deer and five Any
Antlerless Deer resident access
permits will be allowed for the
Blood Run Nature Area. Archery
hunters who wish to hunt in those
areas will have to enter a lottery
drawing for the free access permits
via the online licensing system.

Healthy Cooking Techniques
Cooking healthy doesnt mean
that you have to go to culinary
school or purchase expensive cook-
ware. Eating healthy is about
preparation, seasonings, and
choices of foods you eat.
Good health depends on good
nutrition. Go to
http://www.choosemyplate.gov/su-
pertracker-tools/supertracker.html
for help with planning, analyzing,
and tracking diet and physical ac-
tivity. In addition, you can often
make better choices about what
and how much you eat by prepar-
ing and cooking food yourself.
The food preparation methods
you choose for cooking foods can
have a big effect on their nutrient
content. Cooking methods that
minimize the amount of water,
time and temperature needed, will
help to preserve nutrients. Use

Season will run from September
22, 2012 January 15, 2013.
The 2012 Muzzleloader Deer
Hunting Season will run from De-
cember 1 January 15, 2013.
Muzzleloader hunters will have
1,000 Any Deer and unlimited sin-
gle and double Any Antlerless Deer
licenses available. Brookings,
Deuel, Hamlin and McCook Coun-
ties have been added to the re-
stricted area where only one sin-
gle-tag Antlerless Deer license is
any leftover cooking water for
making sauces or soups. Reduce
cooking time by covering your pot
to hold in steam and heat.
Steaming is a good example of a
cooking method that cooks vegeta-
bles quickly and retains nutrients.
Steamed vegetables will retain
more flavors and wont need any
salt.
To lower sodium intake, avoid
using prepackaged seasoning
mixes. Instead add fresh or dried
herbs such as thyme and rosemary
for pungent flavor or dry mustard
for a zesty flavor. At the last mo-
ment before serving, try sprinkling
citrus juice as a flavor enhancer on
fruits or vinegar on vegetables.
In a wok, quickly cook small
pieces of vegetables, poultry or
seafood in vegetable stock or a
small amount of oil to stir fry
foods. Soy sauce and Teriyaki sea-
sonings should be avoided because
of their high sodium content.
Baking and roasting are two
healthy ways you can prepare
meats and fish. When roasting,
use a rack in the pan so the food
doesnt sit in its own fat drippings.
Use fat-free liquids like lemon
juice or tomato juice to baste. Bake
poultry, lean meat or fish in a cov-
ered dish with a little extra liquid.
Grilling is another way to cook
your favorite lean meats or vegeta-
bles in a healthy way. Place the
food on a grill rack over an open
flame. Use a long-handled grill
basket for grilling smaller items.
Healthy decisions start at home.
Make better food choices by plan-
ning ahead. By getting children in-
volved in meal planning and
healthy cooking it will be easier to
make healthy changes.

The South Dakota 9-1-1 Coordi-
nation Board is reminding tele-
phone users of the 9-1-1 surcharge
increase that takes effect on July
1, 2012.
The 2012 Legislature approved
an increase in the traditional sur-
charge from the current 75 cents
per month to $1.25 per month.
That fee is collected by all monthly
billed telephone and wireless serv-
ice providers, such as Centu-
ryLink, Verizon, Midcontinent
Communications, AT&T, Golden
West Telecommunications, Knol-
ogy, Vonage and others.
In addition, the Legislature also
assessed the two percent 9-1-1 sur-
charge on all prepaid wireless
services collected at the retail
point of sale. That rapidly growing
segment of wireless users includes
such companies as TracFone, Wal-
Marts Straight Talk service and
others.
The surcharge, a fee imposed in
9-1-1 surcharge to increase on July 1
virtually every state, pays the cost
of operating 9-1-1 public safety dis-
patch centers. In South Dakota,
the Legislature first authorized a
surcharge in 1989. The fee has
been limited to no more than 75
cents per phone line per month
since then.
Thats 23 years without a fund-
ing increase in an industry that
has changed almost beyond recog-
nition in that time, said Ted Ru-
fledt Jr., Chair of the State 9-1-1
Coordination Board. Revenue
from the surcharge simply hasnt
kept up with changes and rising
costs of providing 9-1-1 service.
Some of the additional revenue
will be used to provide additional
funding for the 9-1-1 centers, and
some will be used to make the
changes necessary to modernize 9-
1-1 in our state.
As of 2011, the 9-1-1 surcharge
covered about half the cost of oper-
ating the system in South Dakota.
Besides the need for additional
revenue to support the existing
system, funding was needed for
South Dakota to update the 9-1-1
system to what is commonly called
Next Generation 9-1-1. Most of the
existing system is based on 1970s
telephone technology. With the ex-
plosive development of wireless
smart phones, 9-1-1 as it exists
today isnt able to capitalize on the
technology that wireless customers
use every day.
For example, citizens cant send
a text message to a 9-1-1 dispatch
center. They arent able to send
photos or video of crimes or sus-
pects directly to a 9-1-1 dispatcher.
Those services would be possible in
the Next Generation 9-1-1 system.
The surcharge increase passed
nearly unanimously (SB174) dur-
ing the last legislative session. A
portion of the increase, 25 cents
per line per month is earmarked
for Next Generation 9-1-1 and is
scheduled to sunset in 2018. The
State 9-1-1 Coordination Board
plans to start updating parts of the
9-1-1 system in the next one to two
years and to have all 9-1-1 centers
on the updated system by 2018.

In Centerville, they saw another
cousins wife (from other side of
their family). Joyce (Welfl) Pierson
lives in Viborg, so that was an-
other stopping place. Czech Days
at Tabor drew their attention also.
Sounds like they had a lot of fun
plus visiting.
Theme meal was at the Village
on June 19th. People must have
other things on their agenda as
numbers were down. Same thing
for Senior Citizens potluck supper
- plenty of food, few people.
We hear of the death of Maurice

will be staying with her this week.
Maxine Smith and Frances
Poste met their niece, Bonnie
Miller, in Rapid City on Friday
morning and rode with her to Sun-

Greetings I wanted to devote
this to Fathers Day but either no
one will answer their phone or
they dont feel they have any news.
What a bummer. I do appreciate
Mary Paulsens helpful and
thoughtfulness.
Delmer and Mary Paulsen en-
joyed an out to lunch in honor of
their wedding anniversary the
15th. their daughter-in-law, Jackie
Paulsen of Belle Fourche, received
a Happy Birthday care package
from Delmer and Mary for her
birthday the 13th.
Vern and Carol Omdahl were
hosted to a meal in Deadwood in
honor of Fathers Day for Vern by
Jim and Debbie Chalcraft of Black
Hawk, Saturday. On Sunday,
Carol hosted her husband Vern to
a Fathers Day dinner in Kadoka.
Lucille Murnane of Jacksonville,
Fla., arrived to the Delmer and
Mary Paulsen home, Thursday,
June 14th for a visit. The ladies
are sisters. Mrs. Murnane just lost
her husband Jim last year and she
went on to Rapid City to visit her
daughter and family, Jason and
Krista Testin and her first grand-
daughter Jamie, who will cele-
brate her first birthday, June 23rd.
She also went to Colorado Springs,
to visit her niece Lynn Mary
(Paulsen) Blaseg, Mike, Hannah
and Callie and enjoyed a great
time. Lucille will visit the
Paulsens again on her way home.
Vern and Carol Omdahl drove to
Rapid City to join a family get-to-
gether with David and Crissa
Chalcraft and Felicity, who have
transferred to Salem, Oregon, to
establish their new home and
working conditions. Kevin also en-
joyed the get together.
Samantha Nelson was a week-
end guest in the parental Dan and

employed at the Lab at Black Hills
State College this summer.
Marla Nelson attended her 4-H
Class Reunion in Kadoka over the
weekend and also enjoyed the tour
at Pearl hotel. Many helpers and
relatives are renovating the Hotel
as it is of interest as an old, old
building for a sort of museum for
an attraction.
Well, the sad news this summer
so far is the lack of hay. One
rancher started Monday and he
finished Thursday. The alfalfa and
grass had taken a light freeze and
with the shortage of rain besides
being stunted it couldnt grow.
Ella Hindman accompanied
Marla Nelson to the Ranch Rodeo
in Kadoka, Sunday afternoon.
They said there was a pretty de-
cent crowd to cheer 10 participat-
ing teams in Wild Horse Race,
Wild Cow Milking, Setter Gather-
ing and Trailer Race.
Tom Paulsen of Lead, son of
Delmer and Mary Paulsen is busy
as usual in the summer working
with other Guard members for the
summer.
Marla Nelson said they had re-
ceived about two inches of rain re-
cently but when it has to soak the
ground or not disappear back up
there from the wind and heat it
just dont go for enough.

Good news in Wasta! Kylee Rae
Smid was born Thursday, June 21,
weighing seven pounds 15 ounces
and is 21 inches long. Kylee is the
daughter of Kortney and Derek
Smid and baby sister of Natalee.
Grandmother, Doreen Skillingstad
reports that Kylee is a beautiful
baby (and of course she is not prej-
udiced in any way.) Also noted by
Doreen was a bit of dark hair and
pretty baby girl hands with long
fingers reminding Doreen of
Kylees mothers hands when Ko-
rtney was born. Big sister, Natalee
is pleased with the new baby and
pleased with being a big sister,
whose job it will be to watch over
and help with this little one.
Speaking of Natalee, Lloyd Wil-
ley has noticed that she has the
prettiest bicycle in Wasta! It is
light blue with a pink saddle and
basket, all white tires and pink
and blue streamers hanging from
the sparkly handle bars! She
earned this fine new bike by grad-
uating form kindergarten and is
learning to ride it with training
wheels.
Dayton Skillingstad is pleased
and proud of niece, Kylee and also
plans to take good care of her.
Dayton will finish his baseball
season Sunday night and has al-
ready signed up for football! His
baseball team had a good year and
he enjoyed playing for the Dairy
Queen Team, So now onto the
Mitey Mites; Wall Eagles Little
League football team. Their sched-
ule will include Rapid City teams,
some games played in Rapid City
and some in Wall.
Ray Williams is donating his
time and expertise (he is some chef
that guy) to prepare the sloppy
joes and hot dogs for the Wasta
July 4th fundraising lunch in the
park. He didnt seem like it would
be a task beneath his capabilities
when asked; he seemed happy to
oblige. Ray and Jamy are good
neighbors and their help with
stuff around town is greatly ap-
preciated.

back, walking with hula hoops,
skating with roller blades or driv-
ing a tractor its all appreciated

Every true Christian
knows by experience that
the Holy Spirit does not,
upon saving us, take pos-
session of us and thence-
forth supernaturally cause
us to live lives pleasing to
God. Rather, as with salva-
tion, so with the Christian
life, He operates in the be-
liever "by grace through
faith".
Powerful assistance to
overcome sin is freely pro-
vided by grace, but this
help must be appropriated
by faith in each individual
case. There is no blanket
provision for continuous
victory throughout our
whole life. We must look to
Him in faith for the help we
need in each separate bat-
tle.
Thus the Scripture teach-
ing with regard to victory
over sin is not that it is not
possible for the believer to
sin, but rather that in any
given case it is possible for
him not to sin. Thus too, the
question in times of tempta-
tion is generally whether we
truly desire to overcome, for
deliverance is freely pro-
vided by grace if we will but
appropriate it by faith.
But just how is deliver-
ance provided? The answer
is: BY THE HOLY SPIRIT.
No longer need the believer
remain enslaved to sin; for
the Holy Spirit within, who
imparted spiritual life to
begin with, will also impart
strength to overcome temp-
tation. When tried and un-
able even to pray as we
ought, "the Spirit also
helpeth our infirmities" and
"maketh intercession for
us" (Rom. 8:26). When
weak and ill, we may be
"strengthened with might by
His Spirit in the inner man"
(Eph.3:16). Indeed, the
Spirit even strengthens
God's people physically to
overcome sin, for we read:
"But if the Spirit of Him
that raised up Jesus from
the dead dwell in you, He
that raised up Christ from
the dead shall also
quicken [strengthen]
your mortal bodies by His
Spirit that dwelleth in
you" (Rom. 8:11).
And the following verse
goes on to say:
"Therefore, brethren, we
are debtors, not to the
flesh, to live after the flesh"
(Rom.8:12). The thought is
that, since believers have
the Holy Spirit to help them
overcome sin, they are
debtors -- and not to the
flesh, but to God, to live
pleasing to Him.

FINANCIAL FOCUS
DON'T TAKE A VACATION
FROM INVESTING
Richard Wahlstrom
www.edwardjones.com
Summer is here which means
a vacation most likely isnt far
away. Whether youre hitting the
road, jumping on a plane or even
enjoying a staycation at home,
youre probably looking forward to
some down time with your family.
But not every aspect of your life
should be relaxed. Specifically, you
dont want to take a vacation from
investing which means you
need to become a diligent, year-
round investor.
Here are a few suggestions that
can help:
Keep on investing. Dont head
to the investment sidelines when
the financial markets experience
volatility. You dont want to be a
nonparticipant when things turn
around because, historically, the
early stage of any market rally is
generally when the biggest gains
occur. (Keep in mind that past per-
formance of the market is not a
guarantee of future results.)
Keep learning. In just about
any classroom, the best students
are the ones who get the most out
of their education and put their
learning to the best use. And the
same is true of the investment
world: The more you know about
the forces that affect your invest-
ments performance, and about
why you own the investments you
do, the more likely you are to make
the right moves and the less
likely youll be to make hasty and
unwise decisions.
Keep your focus on the long
term. As an investor, you need to
look past those events such as
natural disasters, recession fears
and political instability abroad
that may have noticeable short-
term effects on the financial mar-
kets but little impact over the
longer term. So instead of making
investment decisions based on
todays headlines, think about
what you want your financial pic-
ture to look like in 10, 20 or 30
years and take the appropriate
steps to help make that picture
materialize. These steps include
following a long-term, disciplined
investment strategy thats suitable
for your individual needs, making
adjustments as time goes on and
working with a professional finan-
cial advisor who knows your situ-
ation and can help you make the
right choices.
Keep looking for growth oppor-
tunities. To achieve your long-term
goals, such as a comfortable retire-
ment, youll need to own growth-
oriented investments, such as
stocks and other investments that
contain equities. The percentage of
your holdings devoted to stocks
should be based on your risk toler-
ance, time horizon and proximity
to retirement. But no matter what
your situation, you want a portfo-
lio thats designed to help you meet
your investment goals.
Keep relying on hardworking
investments. To help ensure your
investments are working hard for
you, choose those vehicles that can
help you in multiple ways. For ex-
ample, when you invest in a 401(k)
or other employer-sponsored re-
tirement plan, your money grows
on a tax-deferred basis, which
means it can accumulate faster
than if it were placed in an invest-
ment on which you paid taxes
every year. (Keep in mind that
taxes are due upon withdrawal,
and withdrawals prior to age 59
may be subject to a 10% IRS
penalty.) Plus, you typically fund
your 401(k) with pretax dollars, so
the more you put in each year, the
lower your taxable income. Fur-
thermore, with the choices avail-
able in your plan, you can create a
good mix of investments.
Enjoy your vacation this sum-
mer. But no matter what the sea-
son, dont take a break from in-
vesting. Your efforts may pay off
nicely for you in the future.
Sandra Raye Sumpter May________________________
Sandra Raye Sumpter May, age
48, of Watertown, formerly of
Philip, died Saturday, June 16,
2012, at her home in Watertown.
Sandra Raye Sumpter was born
August 14, 1963, in Rapid City, the
daughter of Bill and Marsha
(Fairchild) Sumpter. She grew up
and received her education in
Philip, graduating from Philip
High School.
She married Tim May and of
that marriage were born two chil-
dren, Amanda and Chase. Her chil-
dren were her pride and joy.
Sandra held various jobs during
the years but her most rewarding
was helping to take care of her
great-aunt, Edna Buswell, and
grandmother, Ruth Fairchild, in
their later years.
She is survived by her daughter,
Amanda (May) and Adam Claflin of
Harrisburg; and son, Chase May
and Carly Nighbert of Madison;
her parents, Bill and Marsha
Sumpter of Kadoka; a sister, Shel-
ley Seager of Sutton, Neb.;
nephews, Eric Seager and Zack
Seager of Rapid City; and two
great-nephews, Eli and Ryder Sea-
ger.
She was preceded in death by
her maternal grandparents, Wayne
and Ruth Fairchild; and paternal
grandparents, Virgie Melton and
N. W. Sumpter and Beatrice.
Memorial services were held
Saturday, June 23, at the United
Church in Philip with Pastor
Kathy Chesney officiating.
Music was provided by Karyl
Sandal, pianist.
Ushers were Eric and Zach Sea-
ger.
Interment will take place at a
later date at Masonic Cemetery in
Philip.
A memorial has been estab-
lished.
Arrangements were with the
Rush Funeral Home of Philip.
Her online guestbook is avail-
able at www.rushfuneralhome.com.
State Park
visitors should
leave fireworks at
home
The upcoming Fourth of July
holiday is always a busy time in
South Dakota's state parks and
recreation areas. As you celebrate,
Game, Fish and Parks Department
officials ask you to please leave
fireworks at home.
According to Doug Hofer, state
parks and recreation director,
campgrounds are traditionally very
busy with campers and other visi-
tors enjoying the parks during the
Independence Day period.
Combining fireworks and large
numbers of people creates a dan-
gerous situation, said Hofer. We
appreciate your help to keep the
parks safe and fun this Fourth of
July.
Discharging fireworks is prohib-
ited on all lands owned or leased by
the South Dakota Department of
Game, Fish and Parks. The ban in-
cludes state parks, recreation
areas, lakeside use areas, game
production areas and nature areas.
Discharging fireworks is also ille-
gal within the boundaries of the
Black Hills Forest Fire Protection
District, national forests and na-
tional parks in South Dakota.
For more information on the
South Dakota State Parks, visit
www.gfp.sd.gov or call 605-773-
3391.

Waggoner Golf Course north of

Thirty three-person teams par-

new record. It broke the previous
record established during Philips
centennial celebration in 2007.
The golf tournament has added
over $11,000 over the past 10 years
for a scholarship at Philip High
School. This year, every partici-
pant received a Titleist cap, with

dered on the side.

The old town well which started
to cave during one of the recent
heavy rains, has been repaired by
Mrs. Miller. A concrete curbing and
pump house has been erected at
the place. For the past two weeks,
an engine has been working al-
most continuously emptying the
well of flood waters. Mrs. Miller
has an electric motor and a pump
and expects to use the water from
the well for her hotel use.
A band of Gypsies driving a car
with an Ohio tag did not receive a
very hearty welcome here. The
Wall authorities were ready to
greet them after being notified
that the band had made an unsuc-
cessful attempt to get away with
$14.32 from one of the oil stations
in Wasta, and headed them on
their way. At Rapid City, Sherriff
N. J. Hendrickson succeeded in
getting them to return two hun-
dred dollars which the gypsies had
stolen there.
During the heavy rain last Tues-
day, Frank Gage and Jack Huff-
man were driving home from
Rapid City. The water had just
started running over the road west
of Wasta when Mr. Gage reached
it. A half hour later when Mr. Huff-
man reached the same spot the
water was running through the
door of his car. Both men came
through without mishap.

70 years ago
A great crowd of folks, including
eleven priests, helped to celebrate
Father John Connollys twenty-
fifth year of service here in Wall.
Jubilee Services were held at the
church in the morning and this
was followed by a public dinner at
the Hall at noon. Besides the
eleven guest Priests, there were
two Sisters, Mary Romaine Biel-
maier from Sturgis and Dorothy
Rose Schroeder of Rapid City. Sis-
ter Bielmaier and Sister Schroeder
are former Wall girls. An estimate
of well over 150 dinners were
served by the Catholic Ladies at
noon.
A large crew of fast workers
landed on the Hospital grounds,
Thursday evening and under the
leadership of a dozen men, made
short work of leveling off some of
the mounds of dirt, tearing down
scaffolding and cutting weeds. To-
morrow is the day set for giving
the building its first coat of paint.
Kenneth Lewis started Monday
evening painting the high corner
peaks. Howard Connolly began
Monday afternoon enclosing the
front porch. He hopes to have it
finished Friday in order to have it
included in the painting program.

City airbase are expected to arrive

The Wall Drug Store this year is
not only unique for its worldwide
advertising, but also for its unusu-
ally cosmopolitan staff of workers.
Working at the drug store now are
two girls from Bagio, Philippine Is-
lands; one girl from Formosa; and
a black-eyed beauty from the Vir-
gin Islands. These four young
women attend Winona College in
Minnesota during the winter. Also
waiting on the sign attracted
tourists are two Indian maids from
Ft. Thompson. Altogether, there
are 34 young men and women
spending the summer waiting on
the mad scramble of tourists at-
tracted by Ted Husteads prolific
advertising program. A few more
employees are expected this week
to take care of the daily thousands
of curio-seeking and thirsty
tourists.
Several members of an oil seis-
mographic survey crew are staying
at the J. F. Street cabins. There are
four trucks loaded with dynamite
and sensitive shock recording
equipment headquartering in Wall
and mapping the underground
structures in the vicinity for a pri-
vate oil drilling concern.

50 years ago
Seventeen windows at the Wall
School House were broken by one
night of vandalism last week.
Large chunks of cement and rocks
were found inside of the building
which indicated that the damage
was done by other than small chil-
dren. The windows broken were
the high ones in the school gym.
The large frosted ones in the rest-
rooms, and windows in both the
new and the old building. Another
bit of vandalism which Mayor Al-
fred Strandell says resembles the
destructive force of a tornado, oc-
curred at the pump house at the
town dam. Here windows were
broken the door busted, the inte-
rior supplies and equipment bro-
ken or turned over, and even the
bricks torn off the chimney. The fil-
ter tube in the dam was filled with
rocks and timber.
G. W. Shelton still claims that he
holds the record of having the
fastest racing car in Wall. His
greatest trouble is getting a driver
who isnt afraid to open it up.
Woody, however is being chal-
lenged by Max Hauk who has
three midget racers and is building
a fourth. He is certain the Number
Four will top them all. The track
for these races is the access road-
way east of the Welsh Motel and
the time for the trials is almost
anytime.
Two break-ins in Wall, Sunday
night, created considerate excite-
ment and a great deal of conserva-
tion around town, Monday. The
Wall Lockers was entered by pry-
ing open the back door while the
General Store was entered by cut-
ting a hole through the roof. At
both places the burglars broke
open the safes, apparently using
pliers and heavy hammers. At
Wall Lockers, the safe crackers got
only a small amount of small
change for their trouble; but at
Sheltons they obtained approxi-
mately $175 in cash and a dozen
wrist watches.

The Looking Glass of Time
It might surprise you-and then
again, it may not-to know that
many years ago I was quite a rebel.
Back then, the last thing I ever
wanted was to be accountable to
anybody for anything.
Naturally, I encountered an in-
credible amount of failure in my
life as a result of this attitude.
Once I got "whacked" up along side
the head enough I finally learned
that accountability is a smart way
to operate.
Today I actively choose to seek
out accountability as often as pos-
sible. I usually go to the two tough-
est people on the planet who know
me the best-my wife and my
daughter. These special ladies do a
super job of holding me account-
able as I aspire to make positive
change that will result in positive
growth.
How about you? Is there some-
thing in your own life that requires
change? A bad habit or wrong
mindset? An area where you know
you need to experience some
growth? Why not seek our someone
that you trust, respect and/or love,
and ask them to hold you account-
able.
Tell this person that you have
chosen to hold yourself accountable
to them. Explain what you want
and why and ask him/her to to be
tough on you. Yes, it might be kind
of painful for both of you at times,
but trust me. When you choose ac-
countability you will experience the
growth you desire.
Choose Accountability
Get ready for some
serious family fun
In today's hurry-up world, many
families are looking for ways to
slow down a little and spend some
quality time together, just having
fun. The good news is that it does-
n't have to cost a lot of money, and
you don't have to go very far to
have a great time.
Here are some ways your family
can make the most of family time
and have some serious fun.
Become day trippers.
Visit a state park. You can go on
a hike or bike ride, have a picnic
and enjoy the great outdoors on
your own, or participate in events
such as fishing tournaments,
wildlife education, moonlight walks
or star gazing talks.
Play tourist in a city that's close
by, but you haven't been to before.
Get suggestions from your friends
using Bing's new social search fea-
tures; someone you know may have
recently been there and have some
great ideas. Or you could find peo-
ple who are experts on that area
and can help you find the perfect
place to visit.
Have some homegrown fun.
Art, history, science, kid-
themed and quirky - there are all
kinds of museums just waiting to
be explored. Keep an eye out for
special exhibits and family events.
Many museums have free days and
no- or low-cost activities and
classes you can all do together.
Pitch a tent or two in the back
yard and spend the night under the
stars. Grill dinner, or make s'mores
over the fire pit, and "rough it" to-
gether without ever leaving home.
If you've always wanted to go
on a treasure hunt, geocaching just
might be for you. You use a GPS-
enabled device and clues to navi-
gate to a specific set of coordinates
in order to locate hidden contain-
ers. Search online for geocaching
near you.
Help your community.
Sign up to help with or partici-
pate in a charity race. From plan-
ning and organizing, to checking
people in, setting up water stations
and actually racing, there are
plenty of ways you can help make
a fundraising event a success.
Sowing, watering, weeding and
harvesting - there's always some-
thing that needs to be done in a
community garden. Even the lit-
tlest ones can have some fun doing
good.
Make a difference in your
neighborhood - www.DoSome-
thing.org and Bing have teamed up
to inspire people to "do good" in
their neighborhood by hosting var-
ious events across the country this
summer. Visit www.bing.com/doing
to see if they'll be stopping by a
neighborhood near you, or learn
how you can participate online.
Be hometown foodies.
From apples to zucchini, you
can find just about any kind of
fresh produce, as well as bread,
honey, herbs and more at a farmers
market. Bring home some fresh in-
gredients and experiment with new
recipes.
Restaurants - Try that new
restaurant down the street, or the
one you've driven by a few times
but have never been to. If you're
not sure where to go, or if you want
to know if a restaurant is good, look
it up on www.Bing.com and check
out the new feature which allows
you to do this all in one place. It
shows you reviews from across the
web, location maps and directions,
as well as interior shots - you can
make a reservation, find where
you're going and see what it's like,
all without leaving your search
page.

FOCUS ON THE FAMILY
with Dr. James
Dobson
Dr. Dobson Answers
your Questions
QUESTION: Usually my
spouse and I are pretty good at
having constructive disagree-
ments, but there have been a cou-
ple of occasions when our argu-
ments got out of control. What
should we do if this happens
again?
ANSWER: You're not alone
it's easy to lose control when emo-
tions are running high. Spouses
can become irrational for many
reasons. It can stem from feeling
overwhelmed, threatened, pro-
voked, criticized or just misunder-
stood. These feelings may not be
wrong in and of themselves, but
they can be expressed in inappro-
priate ways. It's at this point that
a dangerous line is crossed. As the
Bible says, "A fool gives full vent to
his anger, but a wise man keeps
himself under control" (Proverbs
29:11).
As a matter of fact, some people
seem only too glad to lose control
during an argument. There's a
kind of adrenaline rush that comes
with expressing anger, and it can
be addictive. This is something
you'll need to watch out for if you
really want to keep your disagree-
ments civil and constructive. Be-
fore getting involved in a con-
frontation with your spouse, exam-
ine yourself to make sure that your
heart and intentions are in the
right place. If one or the other of
you has reason to fear that the ar-
gument will spin out of control, the
openness and honesty required to
make the discussion a success may
be hopelessly squelched.
Equally inhibiting is the fear
that, once the discussion gets
started, one's partner is likely to
dredge up issues from the past.
This can be overwhelming to the
spouse who tends to forget, or
wants to forget, things said and
done in anger. If you want to main-
tain control, then, avoid the temp-
tation to rehash past offenses and
mistakes.
You should also steer clear of ag-
gressive and passive/aggressive
behavior. In most marriages, one
spouse tends to be more of an ag-
gressive pursuer in arguments
while the other adopts a quieter,
more passive method of nagging or
blaming. Both approaches are de-
structive. Where there is bullying
in a relationship, it's best to find a
constructive way of dealing with it
rather than living in fear. Sober,
straightforward honesty is the
most effective policy. It's true that
there are times when a gentle an-
swer can turn away wrath
(Proverbs 15:1), but only if it's in-
tentional, proactive and positive.
This approach should never be
adopted out of fear of provoking
your partner to anger.
Physical violence is never okay.
Threats of physical violence must
be handled immediately. If you feel
threatened, get to a safe place
right away. Put distance between
you and the person endangering
you. Call the police if necessary.
Bear in mind, too, that physical vi-
olence doesn't stop without inter-
vention. Abusers must learn to
manage anger. Once the danger is
past, insist on counseling. In the
meantime, educate yourself about
abuse cycles and learn how to pro-
tect yourself in the future.
Out-of-control arguments don't
always involve violence, of course.
No matter how much you and your
spouse love each other, no matter
how understanding you try to be,
and no matter how strongly you
want to avoid hurting each other,
there will be times when argu-
ments get out of control. You can
prepare for those times and mini-
mize the negative effects by being
aware of your own physical reac-
tions and triggers, by taking re-
sponsibility for your own feelings
and by stopping to pray individ-
ually and with your partner
whenever things seem to be get-
ting too intense. Whatever hap-
pens, make forgiveness your num-
ber one priority. This doesn't mean
that you will necessarily agree. It
certainly doesn't imply that abuse
should be ignored or excused. It
does mean giving up your determi-
nation to get revenge.
QUESTION: My husband
serves in the military, and we are
often separated for long periods of
time. He is a wonderful husband
and father, yet I struggle when he
returns because of the abrupt
change in my role. When he's de-
ployed, I have to take care of all as-
pects of our family's life; when he
comes home, he takes the upper
hand in certain areas. I want to
defer to his leadership at such
times, but shifting gears is hard
for me. How can I do a better job of
transitioning?
ANSWER: Before saying any-
thing else, we want you to know
how much we appreciate the sacri-
fices you and your family are mak-
ing. As far as we're concerned, both
you and your spouse occupy key
positions on the front lines of the
worldwide battle for freedom and
human rights. We can't thank you
enough for everything you're doing
to serve your country and your fel-
low man. It's our privilege to come
alongside you in any way we can.
To help ensure smoother transi-
tions and head off domestic ten-
sion after a prolonged separa-
tion,we recommend an intentional,
pro-active approach. Prior to his
next tour of duty, set aside some
time to sit down and talk things
out between yourselves. A purpose-
ful discussion of hidden expecta-
tions and unspoken assumptions
can go a long way toward eliminat-
ing bumps in the road that might
otherwise take you by surprise.
Your first assignment is to admit
to yourselves and to each other
that the process of "shifting gears"
can be painful and problematic. Be
aware of the potential for conflict
and make up your minds to dis-
cuss it openly and honestly. Face
the fact that many couples fight
bitterly just prior to a separation
since, psychologically, it's easier to
part when you're mad than when
you're feeling tender toward one
another. Be aware that the home-
coming is likely to be complicated
by all kinds of elusive emotional is-
sues. Cultivate an awareness of
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
and think about ways of respond-
ing if it becomes a factor in your
marriage.
Both of you should realize that
the spouse who remains on the
home front has no choice except to
assume a burden of responsibility
that would normally be divided be-
tween two people to function, in
effect, as a single parent. This al-
most inevitably leads to confusion
concerning marital roles when the
absent partner re-enters the pic-
ture. It can also create a situation
in which both parties feel unneces-
sary. At such times it's incredibly
helpful and healing for the return-
ing spouse to acknowledge his
wife's efforts with a simple "thank
you" and a humble offer to pick up
the slack wherever she feels it's
most needed. If you're aware of
this beforehand, you can make a
joint decision perhaps by way of
a written agreement to be pa-
tient and understanding with one
another when you come back to-
gether.
If you have children, and if
they're old enough to understand
and appreciate the challenges
you're facing as a family, it would
be a good idea to include them in a
similar conversation. You may
even want to consider the option of
doing some family counseling with
a trained Christian therapist. En-
courage your kids to voice their
feelings. Ask them questions such
as, "What's the same and what's
different when Dad's away? How
do things change when he comes
home?" Most importantly, come up
with a plan to maintain as much
continuity and "normalcy" as pos-
sible in the lives of your children
during periods of transition and
change.
