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

Lynn Denke, national director
for the South Dakota Association
of Conservation Districts (SDACD)
and treasurer of East Pennington
Conservation District joined with
conservation leaders from across
the nation at the National Associ-
ation of Conservation Districts
(NACD) Summer Legislative Con-
ference, July 16-17 in Washington,
D.C. The conference included
briefings at the White House,
meetings on Capitol Hill and a
conservation tour of the Chesa-
peake Bay Watershed. Accompany-
ing Denke were NACD second
vice-president Jack Majeres of Dell
Rapids, SDACD president Fran
Fritz of Iroquois, SDACD execu-
tive director Angela Ehlers of
Presho and US Department of
Agriculture Natural Resources
Conservation Services (USDA-
NRCS) state conservationist Jeff
Zimprich.
Denke participates in D.C. National
Conservation conference
I came to Washington to carry
the message to the Hill we need lo-
cally-lead, incentive-based conser-
vation on the ground. Working
with those from other states, we
can stress the importance of get-
ting the Farm Bill passed and ad-
dressing the severe drought grow-
ing across the United States. I was
pleased to hear from our Congres-
sional delegation that they support
immediate action on the Farm Bill
and want to work with us to pro-
vide drought relief, stated Denke.
I was also impressed when the
Senate and House Ag Committees
noted they relied on our national
association for their leadership in
developing the Conservation Title
of the Farm Bill.
On Monday, July 16, Denke and
attendees participated in briefings
and a question-and-answer session
at the White House with several
high-level Administration officials,
including: U.S. Department of
Agriculture (USDA) Chief of Staff
Krysta Harden; USDA Natural
Resources Conservation Service
Chief Dave White; USDA Deputy
Secretary Kathleen Merrigan; U.S.
Bureau of Land Management Act-
ing Director Mike Pool; Environ-
mental Protection Agency (EPA)
Agricultural Counselor Larry El-
worth; White House Council on
Environmental Quality Associate
Director for Land and Water
Ecosystems Jay Jensen; and White
House Domestic Policy Council
Senior Policy Advisor for Rural Af-
fairs Doug McKalip.
Following the briefings, partici-
pants headed to DuPonts Chesa-
peake Farms in Chestertown, Md.
for a first-hand look at conserva-
tion successes and challenges in
the Chesapeake Bay. Ongoing en-
vironmental improvement efforts
in the Chesapeake Bay are often
considered to be a model for water-
sheds across the nation.
Conservation districts have and
continue to play a key role in the
success weve seen in the Chesa-
peake Bay, said NACD President
Gene Schmidt. The 127 conserva-
tion districts in the Chesapeake
Bay region are leading the way by
working cooperatively with
landowners, producers, local com-
munities and other partners to im-
plement conservation practices on
the ground in this highly sensitive
region.
At the Farm, attendees heard
from a panel of speakers, includ-
ing: NACD President-Elect Earl
Garber; EPA Chesapeake Bay Pro-
gram Office Director Nick Di-
Pasquale; DuPont Crop Protection
President Rik Miller; and NRCS
Chief Dave White. The panelists
highlighted the importance of
partnerships between private
landowners, government agencies
and private industry in imple-
menting conservation at the local
level.
On Tuesday, July 17, Denke led
a delegation from the SD Associa-
tion of Conservation Districts to
meet with Senator Thune and staff
of Senator Johnson and Represen-
tative Noem to discuss local and
national conservation issues, par-
ticularly regarding Farm Bill Con-
servation Programs, mountain
pine beetle control, and drought
mitigation opportunities. For more
information on conservation and
the Farm Bill, visit: www.nacd-
net.org/news/.
The South Dakota Association of
Conservation Districts is the non-
profit organization representing
South Dakotas 69 conservation
districts and the 345 men and
women who serve on their govern-
ing boards. For 75 years, local con-
servation districts have worked
with cooperating landowners and
managers of private working lands
to help them plan and apply effec-
tive conservation practices. For

Cactus Flat fire buns over 1000 acres
Fire trucks around the Wall area
were called to a fire on Thursday,
July 19 along with a Strike team
from the hills.
The fire began along Interstate
90 at exit 127. Crews battled the
blaze in the heat of the afternoon
on private and forest service land.
Wall Forest Service District
Ranger Alan Anderson related the
fire ran to the north rather quickly.
He noted the fire burned 762 acres
of forest service land and 320 acres
of private and other land.
A C-Plane and helicopter where
called in to help contain the fire
which was threatening a home and
outbuildings.
Anderson went on to say the
White Creek drainage area helped
to stop the fire. Crews were then
able to establish a preimeter
around the fire with the help of
county blades.
Trucks from Wall, Philip, Inte-
rior, Box Elder, Badlands National
Park, Wall Forest Service, Pied-
mont, Kadoka and Black Hawk
helped to fight the fire and get it
surrounded by Thursday evening.
West River Electric was also on
the scene as the fire burnt 17 high
wire poles. Anderson also said,
Fences burned and will have to be
replaced.
Fire Departments set up sta-
tions where trucks could fill
quickly and be back to the fire in a
short turn around time.
Incident Commander Corey
Richardson with the Wall Forest
Service is expected to call the fire
100 percent by the end of Friday,
July 20.
The cause of the fire is under in-
vestigation at this time. Local
agencies and authorities are en-
couraging the public to use ex-
treme caution during this high fire
danger season.
Dry conditions and wind helped to push the fire towards the
north of Interstate 90 at exit 127 on Thursday, July 19.

Areas around Western South Dakota read in the 100s on Friday, July 20. Faith was the coolest at
94 degrees while Wall held the hottest temperature at 109 degrees. According to the Weather Chan-
nel the outlook until the end on the month will be in the 90s with slight chances of rain. The
Weather Channel also reports, Unfortunately, all indicators (short and medium-term, August, and
August-October) favor above normal temperatures. With much of the Plains already in drought,
above normal temperatures expected into the fall, and a dry short-term and 30-day forecast, the
drought should persist, with some possible development in the northern Plains. Forecast confi-
dence for the Plains is moderate.
The temperature in Philip at
3:30 p.m. was 106 degrees on
Friday, July 20.

Letter to the Editor
Social Security News
By Kathy Petersen
Social Security
Public Affairs Specialist
This time of year, we see a lot of
weddings, and in many cases that
means name changes. If you need
to change your name due to mar-
riage, divorce, or any other rea-
son, you will want to report the
change to Social Security.
There are several reasons to re-
port the change. First, IRS and
Social Security match computer
records. If the name and Social
Security number you report on
your tax return do not match the
name and Social Security number
in our records, it could delay the
processing of your return as well
as any tax refund you might be
due.
The second reason it is impor-
tant to make sure your Social Se-
curity records are up-to-date is
your potential Social Security
benefits are based almost entirely
on the earnings record we main-
tain for you. If your employer re-
ports earnings to the government
under your new name, and your
Social Security record still shows
your old name, those earnings
may not get credited to your So-
cial Security earnings record.
Missing earnings can lead to
lower future Social Security ben-
efits.
To change your name in Social
Securitys records, you must apply
for a new Social Security card. To
make the application process
faster and easier, just go to
www.socialsecurity.gov/ssnumber/
and print out the form for a Social
Security card, Application Form
SS-5. Thats also the form you
need if you simply want to apply
for a replacement card. The appli-
cation form also tells you what ev-
idence you will need to submit.
Complete the one-page form
and bring or mail it to your local
Social Security office with proper
documentation. All documents
must be originals or certified
copies and must have information
that clearly identifies you, like
your date and place of birth. The
application includes information
on what types of identity and doc-
umentation are needed for spe-
cific cases, and what sorts of doc-
uments we can accept.
The application process is easy,
and described well (along with
other things you may want to
know about your Social Security
card and number) at www.so-
cialsecurity.gov/ssnumber. Kathy

cialist for Social Security, Denver

On July 13, 2012, the Environ-
mental Protection Agency (EPA)
withdrew its proposed Clean
Water Act (CWA) Section 308
CAFO (Concentrated Animal
Feeding Operations) Reporting
Rule. The proposed rule was the
result of an out-of-court settlement
agreement between EPA and envi-
ronmental activists and would
have required all cattle operations
meeting the regulatory definition
of a CAFO to report a long list of
information about their operations
to EPA, including the precise type
and location of the livestock oper-
ation. EPA planned to place the in-
formation gathered on the agencys
website in a searchable database.
The South Dakota Cattlemens
Association (SDCA) voiced con-
cern, fearing extremists could ac-
cess the information with the in-
tent to do harm to individual cattle
operations or the nations food sys-
tem.
Bryan Nagel, a cattle feeder
from Avon and chairman of the
South Dakota Cattlemens Associ-
ations Cattle Feeder Council
stated, This move by EPA is a vic-
tory for cattlemen and illustrates
the importance of the beef cattle
community working together to
The South Dakota Board of Ed-
ucation formally endorsed a self-
assessment tool based on the
South Dakota School Library
Guidelines at a regularly sched-
uled meeting Monday.
The South Dakota Library Asso-
ciation and South Dakota State Li-
brary Board previously gave it
their seal of approval as well.
Emerging 21st century school
libraries reflect a major shift na-
tionwide. Todays school libraries
are learning hubs with physical
and digital content, led by
teacher/librarians who work with
students, teachers, administra-
tors, curriculum and project-based
assignments, said Daria Boss-
man, assistant state librarian and
director of Library Development
Services for South Dakota. As
documented in some 60 national
studies over the past two decades,
school libraries that reflect 21st
century best practices are essen-
tial to guiding educators efforts in

A column by
Gov. Dennis Daugaard
This week, the state budget of-
fice announced that South Dakota
closed the 2011-2012 fiscal year in
the black. The states ongoing rev-
enues exceeded ongoing expenses
by $47.8 million.
This is good news for South
Dakota, and it happened because
we applied common sense to our
budgeting.
Imagine you are the owner and
publisher of this newspaper, and
you are planning your budget for
the coming year. You would have
to make your plan based on projec-
tions about your newspaper busi-
ness. Certainly, you would con-
Mike Kintigh, regional supervisor
for western South Dakota. By
moving the meeting to a later date,
department staff will be able to
share more specific information on
lion populations and projected har-
vest goals for the upcoming sea-
son, Kintigh said.
The 2013 South Dakota Moun-
tain Lion Hunting Season will be
proposed at the GFP Commission
meeting on August 2-3 in Milbank
and finalized on October 4-5 at the
AmericInn in Deadwood.
Protecting your tax dollars
sider recent trends in your busi-
ness, your experience with news-
papers, and the economic health of
your town.
If you were running that news-
paper, would you assume a big in-
crease in advertising sales? Would
you plan for lots of new sub-
scribers? Would you calculate that
your printing and delivery costs
will go down?
Of course not. You might hope
for those things to happen, but it
would be very foolish to take them
for granted. If you plan to spend
every last dollar under the best-
case scenario, your business will
be in trouble if things dont go as
planned.
The South Dakota state budget
works in the same way. When I
came into office, our state faced a
projected budget deficit of $127
million. We made tough choices to
balance our budget without raising
taxes.
We hoped that our businesses
would quickly bounce back from
the recession. We hoped that grain
prices would remain high and fa-
vorable weather for farmers would
continue. We hoped that the
growth in Medicaid enrollees
would slow down, and that home
construction would speed up. We
hoped that state departments
would come in under-budget.
We hoped for these things but
we didnt take any of them for
granted. We didnt assume every-
thing would go our way.
In the fiscal year that just
ended, things turned out a little
better than we planned. That is
good news. It shows that we are
being cautious. I would rather
have a little extra than come up a
little short. And in the 2012 ses-
sion, we were able to spend extra
money on priorities like K-12 edu-
cation because things turned out
better than we planned.
South Dakotas economy is one
of the healthiest in the nation, and
we have seen a strong rate of re-
covery in the past 18 months. Im
optimistic about our future.
But we still need to guard
against future threats. The debt
crisis in Europe could pull the
world back into recession. Looming
federal budget cuts could cost
South Dakota as much as $50 mil-
lion a year, starting next year.
Drought conditions in much of
South Dakota could lead to a diffi-
cult year for our farmers and
ranchers.
I will continue to be prudent and
cautious with your tax dollars so
we do not run a deficit. We will not
foolishly plan on the best-case sce-
nario. That way, when there is a
little extra, we can put it back into
our schools and other priorities.
SDCA applauds withdrawal of
proposed livestock reporting rule
educate government officials. The
importance of cattlemen engaging
in the regulatory process and voic-
ing your concerns is most evident
in this type of win.
Results like this verify the ben-
efit of membership in organiza-
tions such as SDCA and the Na-
tional Cattlemens Beef Associa-
tion. The collective voices of cattle-
men from across the state and na-
tion were heard, preventing over-
reaching regulation and quieting
the extremists looking to harm
livestock producers, stated Todd
Wilkinson, Second Vice President
of SDCA and a cattle feeder from
De Smet.
In comments on the propose
rule, SDCA pointed out regulatory
agencies such as the South Dakota
Department of Environment and
Natural Resources already collect
and monitor CAFOs through their
permitting process and encour-
aged EPA to seek existing data
sources to meet the goals of the
proposed rule. In withdrawing the
rule, EPA noted they will gather
and evaluate information on
CAFOs obtained from already es-
tablished relationships with states
and federal partners.
Board approves school
library self-assessment
readiness needs of our K-12 stu-
dent population.
The South Dakota School Li-
brary Guidelines outline the com-
ponents of an effective 21st Cen-
tury school library and librarian.
They describe what is necessary to
be exemplary in three specific and
distinct areas: Program, Place and
Professional.
Based on that model, a taskforce
developed a scale as a self-assess-
ment tool with accompanying in-
structions and an award applica-
tion. The task force was comprised
of both certified and non-certified
school librarians, teachers and ad-
ministrators, as well as represen-
tatives from the South Dakota Li-
brary Association, South Dakota
State Library, and the Department
of Education.

Services at 800-423-6665.
Gov. Dennis Daugaard activated
the state Drought Task Force to
monitor worsening drought condi-
tions across much of South
Dakota.
The task force had its first meet-
ing on Monday, July 23, in Pierre.
The group coordinated the ex-
change of drought information
among government agencies and
agriculture, fire, and water-supply
organizations. The information ex-
change is the key to monitoring
the development and seriousness
of the drought. The task force will
also monitor the impact of drought
on economic sectors of the state.
Much of South Dakota was
struggling with record flooding
just a year ago, but conditions
have rapidly reversed, Gov. Dau-
gaard said. We have been closely
tracking weather patterns, and the
Drought Task Force will give us a
forum to exchange facts and data
so our citizens can count on having
Governor Daugaard activates
state Drought Task Force
the most up-to-date information as
they respond to the drought.
Officials with the South Dakota
Department of Agriculture, the
state Office of Emergency Manage-
ment and South Dakota State Uni-
versity Cooperative Extension
Service have been actively track-
ing drought conditions for several
weeks.
In addition, those agencies have
worked with local officials and the
U.S. Department of Agricultures
Farm Service Agency on the agri-
cultural disaster declaration
process, including pursuit of op-
tions to allow haying and grazing

The latest U.S. Drought Monitor
(http://droughtmonitor.unl.edu)
shows all of South Dakota at least
abnormally dry, with some areas
in moderate drought and areas of
the southwest and south central in
severe drought.
Agencies and groups repre-
sented on the Drought Task Force
include the: Governors Office, De-
partment of Agriculture, Depart-
ment of Public Safety, Department
of Environment and Natural Re-
sources, Department of Game,
Fish and Parks, Bureau of Infor-
mation and Telecommunications,
South Dakota Association of
County Commissioners, South
Dakota National Guard, state cli-
matologist, federal Farm Service
Agency, and South Dakota Associ-
ation of Rural Water Systems.
Drought in western South
Dakota has accelerated fall cattle
sales, and the state Brand Board
reminds livestock producers that
ownership inspections of cattle,
horses and mules are required be-
fore their sale, slaughter or re-
moval from the Livestock Owner-
ship Inspection Area, located west
of the Missouri River.
No one may transport any cattle,
horses or mules from the Livestock
Ownership Inspection area with-
out an inspection by the Brand
Board, unless the shipper pos-
sesses a local inspection certifi-
cate, market clearance document,
shippers permit, convoy certifi-
cate, lifetime horse transportation
permit or an annual horse permit.
A local inspection certificate is
valid for transportation of live-
stock out of the inspection area
only on the date issued. A shippers
permit may be acquired up to 48
hours prior to shipment.
Enforcement checkpoints will be
set up along the border of the Live-
Ownership inspection required
for all west river livestock
stock Ownership Inspection Area
to check for violations of South
Dakota brand laws.
Livestock being removed from
the ownership inspection area
without authorization may be im-
pounded by any law enforcement
officer until the animals are in-
spected for ownership by an au-
thorized brand inspector.
The penalty for unauthorized re-
moval is a Class 1 misdemeanor,
which carries up to a $2,000 fine,
a maximum of one year in jail, or
both.
To receive a brand inspection,
the shipper must contact a brand
inspector and allow the inspector
ample time to provide it. A ship-
pers permit may be acquired by
calling the Brand Board office.
For more information on how to
acquire brand inspections, a ship-
pers permit, call the South Dakota
State Brand Board at (877) 574-
0054 or visit

Attorney General Marty Jackley
released the Crime in South
Dakota 2011 report. This report is
compiled by the Attorney Generals
Criminal Statistical Analysis Cen-
ter (SAC). The SAC Unit is the pri-
mary clearinghouse for criminal
justice statistical data for South
Dakota.
The Criminal Statistical Analy-
sis Center and the participating
Crime in South Dakota 2011 publication released
law enforcement agencies continue
to provide important crime report-
ing information for identifying
trends in criminal activity to assist
in crime prevention and enforce-
ment efforts across South Dakota,
said Jackley. Our criminal statis-
tics reflect that South Dakota re-
mains a relatively safe place to live
as a result of law enforcement ef-
forts, strong community involve-
ment, and a supportive legisla-
ture.
South Dakota law enforcement
agencies reported a total of 33,340
arrests involving 56,272 offenses
in 2011. The more serious offenses
included a total of 14,570 arrests
and include the following: homi-
cide/negligent manslaughter-16,
sex offenses-132, assault-4,306,
larceny/theft-3104, fraud-321,
drug/narcotic-3,908, gambling-5,
prostitution-13, kidnapping-20,
robbery-38, arson-30, burglary-
391, motor vehicle theft-146, coun-
terfeiting-127, embezzlement-29,
stolen property-47, destruction of
property-724, pornography/ob-
scene material-40 and weapon law
violations-158.
Less serious offenses totaled
18,770 arrestees, include the fol-
lowing, but not limited to DUI-
5,775 (5,776 for 2010), liquor law
violations-5,338 and disorderly
conduct-2,149.
Some examples of the South
Dakota numbers included an in-
crease in drug arrests of 18% and
more than $17 million worth of
property loss reported.

The South Dakota Board of Edu-
cation received updates Monday
during its regularly scheduled
meeting on two online programs
that create rigor and relevance for
high school students.
The South Dakota Virtual
School provides expanded course
offering to students through online
studies. It gives students the op-
portunity to take more Advanced
Placement courses, study highly
specialized subjects, or receive tai-
lored remedial instruction.
In 2011-2012, 133 public school
districts and school systems partic-
ipated in South Dakota Virtual
School. Thats up from 88 just
three years ago. More than 2,900
full- or part-time students in
Online programs helping high school students succeed
grades 6-12 use the system, for a
total of 3,822 semester registra-
tions.
Especially in many of the
smaller districts in the state,
schools may not be able to pay a
full-time teacher in advanced or
highly specialized subjects, said
curriculum specialist Erin Larsen.
The South Dakota Virtual School
gives students those same oppor-
tunities, increasing the rigor and
relevance of their high school edu-
cation.
Currently, there are 364 semes-
ter course offerings through South
Dakota Virtual School, with 24 AP
courses and 82 credit recovery
courses. In the future, the virtual
school will expand to offer more
courses at the middle-school level.
Another program, South Dakota
MyLife, is an online career devel-
opment tool that encourages stu-
dents to explore careers through
interest inventories and skills as-
sessments. Students can then re-
search careers they are matched
with and save that data to their
online portfolios. With that knowl-
edge, they can use their profiles to
plan their academic programs and
track their goals.
SDMyLife usage is really high
right now, said Tiffany Sander-
son, career and technical educa-
tion administrator in the Depart-
ment of Education. Overall usage
has been steadily climbing since
we introduced the site four years
ago. Its a good indication that stu-
dents have access to the resources
they need for success in high
school and preparation for life
after 12th grade.
Completion of the online interest
inventories has allowed the states
education analysts to compare stu-
dent interest data with workforce
needs so teachers and counselors
can educate students regarding
relevant opportunities in South
Dakota. In a related study, it was
discovered that students complet-
ing career and technical education
programs graduated and contin-
ued to the postsecondary level at a
higher rate than the average stu-
dent population.
its bell tower, the leaning tower,
the group discovered that the
cathedral served by the bell tower
was magnificent and built from
materials recycled from ancient
Roman ruins in the area.
In Milan the group met up with
our bus and driver for the rest of
their time in Italy. The driver Le-
andro was a big hit with the stu-
dents who learned even with a lan-
guage barrier that friends can be
made. Leandro loved the book
given to the tour director as a gift
from the group. It contained pic-
tures of South Dakota and specifi-
cally the Badlands and the Black
Hills. Look for Leandro coming
through Wall Drug someday as
South Dakota is now on Leandros
must see list.
The bus ride from Milan to Flo-
rence was a great opportunity to
see some of the Italian country
side including fields of ripening
wheat, grapes orchards, and olive
tree plantations. Florence was per-
haps the favorite city visited by the
group. The students and Mr. Er-
mish really got a sense of the ren-
aissance in Florence as they
viewed works of art by Michelan-
gelo, including his famed statue of
David. The group also learned the
Florence is the birth place of the
Pinocchio story. The architecture
of the city was amazing and the
pace of life seemed a bit slower as
the group walked around the
cathedral square, shops, and of
course sampled the gelato. Gelato
is a rich ice cream sold on just
about every street corner and it is
safe to say the kids became a bit
addicted to gelato and the seem-
ingly endless flavor choices. Pisa
and leaning tower where on the
second day of our time in Florence.
Pisa today is actually a very quiet
city centered on tourism. The
group found it very relaxing
strolling around the cathedral and
the famous leaning tower before
having pizza for lunch at one of the
local street side restaurants.
The drive to Rome from Florence
was very enjoyable with stops in
the village of San Giamano, fa-
A Gathering of Natural Resource
Professionals and Livestock Pro-
ducers to Discuss and Learn About
Livestock Grazing as a Land Man-
agement Tool.
The Society for Range Manage-
ment will host the 2012 Tri-State
Conservation Grazing Workshop
at the Dakota Magic Casino near
Hankinson, N.D., on Aug. 21-22.
The workshop is sponsored by
conservation organizations from
South Dakota, North Dakota and
Minnesota, including the South
Dakota Department of Game, Fish
and Parks.
The Tri-State Conservation
Grazing Workshop will bring to-
gether natural resource profes-
sionals and livestock producers
from all three states to learn about
the use of livestock grazing as a
grassland management and con-
servation tool.
On August 21, participants
learn about the current opportuni-
ties, information and challenges of
managing grassland habitats and
achieving conservation objectives
with livestock. On August 22, the
workshop will consist of a field
tour and on-site discussions about
livestock grazing for conservation
objectives.
There is a registeration fee per
day, and participants can register
2012 Tri-State Conservation
Grazing workshop scheduled
until the day of the workshop. To
register, visit the 2012 Tri-State
Conservation Grazing Workshop
web site at:
http://www.ag.ndsu.edu/2012con-
servationgrazingworkshop, or reg-
ister by phone at 800-627-0326, ex-
tension 456 (please mention 2012
Tri-State Conservation Grazing
Workshop). Limited space is avail-
able.
This workshop is a great way
for South Dakota farmers and
ranchers to learn about ways to
maximize their grasslands not
only for livestock production but
for wildlife as well, said Tim
Olson, a GFP biologist. Healthy
wildlife populations can go hand in
hand with healthy livestock herds
and healthy grasslands.
The Society for Range Manage-
ment (SRM) is the professional so-
ciety dedicated to supporting peo-
ple who work with rangelands and
have a commitment to their sus-
tainable use.
Rangelands comprise nearly
half of all the land in the world,
and are important for the goods
and services produced and ecologi-
cal services they provide.
SRM is dedicated to the conser-
vation and sustainable manage-
ment of rangelands for the benefit
of current and future generations.
Eagles in Europe continued from page 1
mous for its towers; Siena, famous
for its horse racing which takes
place in the streets; and lunch at
winery in Tuscany that is set in
the center of their grape and olive
tree fields, very beautiful.
Our group found Rome and the
Vatican to be amazing. To be sud-
denly standing in the Coliseum,
the ruins of the Roman Forum,
and the Sistine Chapel brought
those historical sites out of the text
books and to real life. Students
from Wall, SD stood on the very
spot Julies Caesars body was
brought following his assassina-
tion. The Vatican was something
all the group had been looking for-
ward too. While it was very
crowded in the Vatican Museum
the group did have a guided tour
that spent nearly one-half hour in
the Sistine Chapel looking at the
ceiling with amazement.
The group then traveled by bus
from Rome to Pompeii for a tour of
the city buried by the eruption of
Mt. Vesuvius in 79 AD. The city
was buried so fast by the falling
ash that it was preserved perfectly
for twentieth century excavations.
Again, it is amazing to think these
students walked the streets of a
Roman city just as they would
have nearly 2000 years ago.
The Eagles to Europe tour con-
cluded with two days on the
Mediterranean sea in Sorrento
and the island of Capri where the
group spent some time on the
beach and took a boat tour of the
island.
All in all it was a very educa-
tional and fun experience for all.
Mr. Ermish was very appreciative
to the students for once again
being the most attentive, well
mannered, and mature students in
our very large group. I think they
all benefited from the experience
they had and will never forget the
cultural and historical lessons they
learned.
In 2013 Mr. Ermish plans to
take a group of student to Eng-
land, Ireland, and Wales. There is
still time for students and parents
to sign up for that trip if they wish.
On Sunday, July 8, community
members worked together to raise
funds for the three Wall High
School students that qualified for
the National High School Rodeo
Finals.
Jackpot barrel racing, break-
away roping, and goat tying events
were held at the Wall Rodeo Arena.
Part of the contestant entry fees,
as well as concession stand profits,
and many private donations were
collected. Proceeds were given to
the contestants (Mazee Pauley,
Trey Richter, and Elsie Fortune) to
help with their travel expenses.

Team USA is in prime position
to defend its medal title from the
Beijing Olympics. Here are three
things to watch as London hosts
the 2012 Olympic Games.
Basketball: With NBA stars
like LeBron James, Kobe Bryant,
and Kevin Durant in the mix,
Team USA is favored to win gold.
Tough opponents such as Spain
and Brazil may have other plans,
however.
Swimming: Michael Phelps
took home eight gold medals in
2008. But fellow American Ryan
Lochte has been tearing up the
What to watch for this Olympics
pool recently and expects to chal-
lenge Phelps for swimming su-
premacy. This will be the rivalry to

inches long and has been named
Aiden Keith Lee. Kathy and Bruce
Swan are the proud grandparents.
Our congratulations go out to that
family also.
Al and Neioma Meguire were in
the Drug Store on Monday morn-
ing. Seems they have been on an

Edith Paulsen to visit with Bernice
Anderson on Saturday at the Good
Samaritan Home in New Under-
wood. Frank Anderson was visit-
ing also.
Got word that Meta Dabney, sis-
ter of the late Carol Paulsen, is not
well. She hasnt felt good for, at
least, two to three weeks and
didnt feel like eating. They believe
she has developed pneumonia now
and is in a hospital.

When Barry Poste came for
Walls celebration, he had the mis-
fortune to puncture a tire on the
Corvette. It was impossible to buy
one here or Rapid City, so he ended
up taking the wheel and old tire to
Denver in his moms car on Sun-
day of last week. He returned to
Wall, Tuesday evening, with a new
tire, put it on the car and returned
to Littleton on Wednesday a lot
of traveling in a few days!
Seems to be no end to this heat
with very little rain. Aircondition-

Greetings First off I owe Mary
Paulsen an apology, she is always
so faithful in sending their news
and there were a few that gave me
their news. I have been through
some problems and they have
taken more out of me than I real-
ized at first. I am hoping that
things are straightening out.
Jim Allbee of Maple Lake,
Minn., and his daughter Stacey
Anderson of Shakopee, Minn., ar-
rived to Jims sister and brother-
in-law, Delmer and Mary Paulsens
of Quinn, recently for a visit. They
enjoyed touring the Wall Drug
Store inside because of the heat,
Tuesday, the 3rd. The 4th, they
traveled to Belle Fourche to Darrin
and Jackie Paulsen home and to
help Dreyson observe his 5th
birthday. the Paulsens were great
host and hostesses. Jim and
Stacey so enjoyed the get-together
with nephew Dawson, uncle Tom
of Lead and friends and neighbors
of the Paulsen.
The heat and dry weather is so
dangerous with the lightning
starting fires north of Kadoka,
Pringle and areas around. The
tragedies are certainly putting us
on an unsafe feeling.
Jim Allbee and Stacey Anderson
enjoyed visiting Tom Paulsen the
evening in Lead and sometime in
Deadwood.
Delmer and Mary Paulsen also
got a call from daughter Lynn
Mary Blaseg of Colorado Springs,
Colo., about the fire there. It was
just across the interstate. They
were put on alert but didnt have
to evacuate.
Lucille Merman of Minn., sister
to Mary, left for Atwater, Minn.,
the end of June. Lucille had been
visiting in the Paulsen home and
left to visit in sister Margaret and
brother-in-law Augie Anderson
home. Mary feels Lucille will be a
big help as Augie is suffering with
Lew Body Dementia.
I had a few items that got mis-
laid between the ambulance ride
and days in the hospital. I hope Im
straightened out and again if some
one wants to take this over, be my
guest. I have enjoyed keeping in
touch but I would appreciate more
interest and cooperation.

When hot days persist, and even
the nights are hot, thoughts go to
those times before A.C. and what
in the world did we do? How did
those people in The Olden Days
manage?
Carl Humphrey remembers that
his mother would hang wet towels
at the windows. He also remem-
bers Elk Creek had a pretty good
little swimming hole. It was a con-
venient stop for a quick dip when
going from stacking hay to the
house for dinner. Carls dad was
still doing a lot of work with horses
so it doesnt take much to envision
kids, horses, dogs, maybe even
Dad enjoying a cool off in that
swimmin hole! They had a good
porch where you could lay your
mattress and sleep outside. I won-
der how Mrs. Humphrey cooked
those big nourishing meals in the
heat.
Okay, that got me right off the
pity pot. Think Ill go check the
A.C. to be sure its working!
Speaking of the Humphrey fam-
ily, news of Anna Lees continued
progress with her physical therapy
and rehabilitation is very opti-
mistic. Daughter, Peggy from
Gillette, Wyo., came to spend the
day with her mom this past week.
Barb Crawford sent home a jar
of her recent batch of chokecherry
syrup. While it may be a little
warm to whip up some pancakes,
chokecherry syrup is really, really
tasty on Ice Cream! WITH
CHOPPED PECANS, YUM!
Kerry Herriger has been seen
buzzing around the streets of
Wasta, (riding? driving?) some-
thing that looks a little like an of-
fice chair with a very sweet para-
sol some how affixed to provide
shade. Word is that he bought it
for Joyce. Could be, but Ive not yet
seen Joyce riding through town.
Looks like something fun for a
poker run!
Our long time Wasta residents,
Marilyn Keyser, is having a rough
go of it. For any of you who havent
heard, Marilyn was diagnosed
with lung cancer in February.
Please keep her in your thoughts
and prayers. Cards can be sent to
the Wasta Post Office and they will
be forwarded on to her.
Lloyd and I have been adventur-
ing in the Black Hills cool (as in
temperature) spots. We take a pic-
nic, some comfy chairs and enjoy
the pines, the water and often
some conversation with tourists.
Then we come home, feed our cat,
sleep in our own bed and head out
again!

Andy (talent show guest) on
awareness of little daily mira-
cles. Being cool enough in our
neck of the woods, Monday morn-
ing to comfortably work outside
with flowers, weeds, whatever and
what all, until 10:45 a.m.! Seems
like a miracle to me!
Happy Trails!

It has been well said that
if there is anything good in
any man it is because it was
put there by God. And some-
thing good -- a new nature -
- has been imparted by God
to every true believer in
Christ.
While there is still within
us "that which is begotten of
the flesh," there is also "that
which is begotten of the
Spirit," and just as the one
"cannot please God," so the
other always pleases Him.
Adam was originally cre-
ated in the image and like-
ness of God, but he fell into
sin and later "begat a son in
his own likeness, after his
image" (Gen. 5:3). It could
not be otherwise. Fallen
Adam could generate and
beget only fallen, sinful off-
spring, whom even the law
could not change. But "what
the law could not do, in that
it was weak [because of] the
flesh, God, sending His own
Son, in the likeness of sinful
flesh, and for sin," accom-
plished, "that the righteous-
ness of the law might be ful-
filled in us, who walk not
after the flesh, but after the
Spirit" (Rom. 8:3,4).
As Adam was made in the
likeness of God, but fell, so
Christ was made in the like-
ness of sinful flesh -- though
without sin -- to redeem us
from the fall, that by grace,
through the operation of the
Spirit, a new creation might
be brought into being, "the
new man which after God, is
created in righteousness
and true holiness" (Eph.
4:24).
Thus in addition to our
fallen Adamic nature true
believers, through faith,
have also become "partak-
ers of the divine nature" (II
Pet. 1:4). This is the "inner
man" of which Paul speaks
in Eph. 3:16, and this "inner
man" delights to do God's
will (Rom. 7:22).
The Adamic nature, which
Scripture calls "the flesh," is
that which was generated by
a fallen begetter. It is sinful
in itself, even in the believer.
It cannot be improved or
changed. But "that which is
born [or begotten] of God"
always pleases Him. It was
begotten by the Spirit of God
Himself. This is why our
Lord said to Nicodemus:
"That which is born of the
flesh is flesh; that which is
born of the Spirit is
spirit....Ye must be born
again" (John 3:6,7).

Richard Wahlstrom
www.edwardjones.com
If you were born anywhere from
1982 to 2001, or within a few years
of this range, you are considered a
Millennial. As a member of this
group, you share many things
cultural references, familiarity
with technology, attitudes toward
work and family with others
your age. And if youre one of the
older Millennials, you and your
peers have something else in com-
mon specifically, you have a
good opportunity to launch invest-
ment strategies to help you save
for the future.
Why are you so well positioned
to invest for the future? For one
thing, its because you have so
much of the future ahead of you.
As an investor, time is your great-
est ally, for a couple of reasons.
First, the more years you have to
invest, the greater the growth po-
tential of your investments. And
second, by investing for the long
term, you can help reduce the im-
pact of periods of short-term
volatility on your portfolio.
Furthermore, since you may be
in the early stage of your career,
you probably have yet to reach
your maximum earnings and may
be eligible to put in the full annual
amount to a Roth IRA, one of the
most effective retirement savings
vehicles available. (Eligibility to
contribute to a Roth IRA is phased
out over a specific income range.)
When you invest in a Roth IRA,
your earnings have the opportu-
nity to grow tax free, provided you
dont start taking withdrawals
until youre at least 59 and
youve had your account for at
least five years.
Even if you do contribute to a
Roth IRA, you can still participate
in your employer-sponsored retire-
ment plan, such as a 401(k) if you
work for a company, a 457(b) if you
work for a state or local govern-
ment, or a 403(b) if you work for a
school or other tax-exempt organi-
zation. And you should indeed con-
tribute to your employers plan, be-
cause it offers some key benefits:
Your earnings accumulate on a
tax-deferred basis, and you typi-
cally fund your plan with pre-tax
dollars. So the more you put in, the
lower your taxable income. (Taxes
are due upon withdrawal, and
withdrawals prior to age 59 may
be subject to a 10% IRS penalty.)
The amount you can afford to
put into your 401(k) or other em-
ployer-sponsored plan depends on
your earnings and other circum-
stances but you should at least
strive to contribute enough to earn
your employers match, if one is of-
fered. Otherwise, youll be walking
away from free money.
All the money you contribute to
your plan is yours, but if you leave
your job before a specified vesting
period which often ranges from
three to seven years you may
not be able to keep all your em-
ployers contributions. Check your
plans rules to see how this applies
to you.
Of course, since you, as a Millen-
nial, are in the early stage of your
working years, you may well be on
the lookout for new job opportuni-
ties. But if you are close to being
fully vested in your 401(k), you
might consider waiting a few extra
months or even a year to take
a new job, so that you can leave
with the money your employer has
contributed.
As a Millennial, youve got time
on your side as you invest for the
future. So make sure you take ad-
vantage of all the opportunities
that come your way.
loyalty
1. A feeling or attitude of devoted
attachment and affection.
2. Faithfulness or devotion to a
person, a cause, obligations, or du-
ties: allegiance, constancy, faithful-
ness, fealty, fidelity, steadfastness.
3. The condition of being closely
tied to another by affection or faith.
affection, attachment, devotion, fond-
ness, liking, love. (Reference: An-
swers.com)
The process of preparing to write
about this subject of LOYALTY forced
me to really search inside myself and
ask about my personal loyalties.
Have I honestly earned the right to
write and speak on this subject? It re-
quired a lot of soul searching and re-
calling if I have a positive history of
being loyal or not in my life.
Immediately, I was struck with
this thought: I know that I have not
been as loyal as my golden retriever,
Sheba, has been to me. I think dogs
really understand the concept of loy-
alty better than we human beings,
and Sheba has become even more
loyal as she has aged and mat ured.
As her reddish-golden coat turns to
gray and silver around her face (I've
noticed the same thing while I am
looking in the mirror!) she becomes
more and more devoted to me. She
has always been a very loyal lady
friend-always accepting of me, ever
faithful, affectionate, and always
ready and willing to go for a ride in
my pickup truck. Sheba has been
there for me as a loyal friend and in-
credible hunting partner, and I am so
blessed to have her.
I know many of you pet owners will
be agreeing with me as to the loyal-
ties found in our furry friends. It feels
good to be on the receiving end of
such loyalty, doesn't it? This should
challenge us to look for ways in our
own lives to offer our loyalties to oth-
ers. I challenge you to take time to
reread the definition above, as you
think of ways that you can and will
become a more loyal friend, sibling,
employee, spouse, parent or child. We
are each so very capable of stepping
up to the plate of loyalty. My soul
searching is forcing me to stretch out
of my comfort zones a bit and go the
extra mile in being loyal to someone.
I am okay with that. I need to do it.
It will be good for me. I will take ac-
tion on this growth and set out to im-
prove myself in this area of my life
immediately.
And speaking of loyalty, we thank
YOU for being such a loyal reader!

Kennedy Implement, Philip, has
been chosen as the 2012 Dealership
of the Year by Farm Equipment
magazine.
Farm Equipment presents its
Dealership of the Year awards an-
nually to farm machinery dealers
in two categories. One is for those
with annual sales revenues of
under $50 million and the other for
dealers with more than $50 million
in annual sales revenues.
Kennedy Implement earned the
distinction in the under $50 million
in annual sales revenue category
this year, not only for its outstand-
ing financial and operating per-
formance that has seen significant
growth over the past three years,
but also for its demonstrated com-
mitment to employee training and
community involvement, as well as
its renowned customer service.
Kennedy Implement is a New Hol-
land and McCormick dealer. It also
carries Woods, Westfield, Wheat-
heart, Brandt, Walinga,
SnoBlast/TeamCo, Grass-hopper,
and Vermeer, along with other
lines available through distribu-
tion.
The dealership was chosen for
the award by a panel of renowned
farm equipment experts. In their
selection of Kennedy Implement as
Farm Equipments Dealership of
the Year for 2012, the judges noted,
The staff consists of 11 employees
who really produce. The dealership
had the highest dollars generated
per employee at $1,247,532. This is
Kennedy Implement earns
Dealership of the Year
a very strong number when you
consider the smaller staff size.
Their return on assests was the
highest of all nominees at 22 per-
cent. They had the highest market
share and their absorption rate
was also the highest of all nomi-
nees in the small dealership cate-
gory. The staff believes in a team
concept ... If one fails, we all fail.
This concept helped them receive
the number one market share in
South Dakota for ag tractors and
hay tools. The judges unanimously
agreed that Kennedy Implement
was deserving of the 2012 first
place award in the small dealer-
ship category.
The judging panel included Dr.
W. David Downey, director, Center
for Agricultural Business, Purdue
University, West Lafayette, Ind.;
David L. Kahler, retired chief exec-
utive officer of the Ohio-Michigan
Equipment Dealers Association,
Dublin, Ohio; and Charles Glass,
president, Glass Management
Group, Arlington, Texas.
Originally founded in 1943,
Kennedy Implement has seen sig-
nificant changes in all aspects of
the dealership over the last five
years. Mark Buchholz took over
management of the dealership in
2008, and then purchased it from
the previous owner, Denny
Kennedy, in 2010. This change has
brought on a new direction in the
day-to-day operations. Since Buch-
holz purchased the dealership,
they have added Grasshopper,
Woods, Brandt and Vermeer to the
already competitive lines in house.
Niche marketing has helped us
find locations for used equipment
to find homes elsewhere. This can
be seen directly in our Internet
sales, Buchholz said. In 2011, we
were able to sell in 22 different
states or provinces and had ap-
proximately 45 sight-unseen sales
with no negative comebacks. This
has allowed us to move equipment
to satisfied customers in new
areas. We are continually looking
to improve our image in the com-
munity and nation.
Kent Buchholz added, Were
doing enough now online, there is
no real slow time.
In 2011 Kennedy Implement re-
ceived the Top Market Share in
South Dakota Ag Tractors, and
Top Market Share in South Dakota
Haytools. While these awards
are presented to the dealerships,
they are a true testament to our
customers. They trust us enough
to sell them a quality product be-
cause of our quality service, M.
Buchholz said.
Kennedy Implements selection
as 2012 Dealership of the Year is
featured in the July/August issue
of Farm Equipment, viewable at

Campfires are never allowed in
Badlands National Park due to the
extreme danger of prairie wildfire.
Camp stoves or contained gas
grills can be used in the camp-
grounds or picnic areas. Electrical
hook-ups are available in the
Cedar Pass Campground, operated
by Forever Resorts
(http://cedarpasslodge.com/lodg-
ing/).
In addition, the following re-
strictions are now in place:
No smoking outside a closed
vehicle within the boundaries of ei-
ther park;
No charcoal grills of any kind.
Summer temperatures in Bad-
lands National Park and Minute-
man Missile often exceed 105 de-
grees. Be prepared whether you
are touring by car or hiking; both
Badlands National Park and the
Badlands South Unit have water
bottle filling stations. Carrying
extra water and food is always a
good idea in these remote areas of
southwestern South Dakota. Hik-
ers should be prepared with hats,
sunscreen, water, electrolyte re-
placement supplements and food.
Always tell someone where you
will be traveling, and understand
that cell coverage is unreliable.
Water and salty snacks are
available at the Cedar Pass Lodge
and at the Ben Reifel Visitor Cen-

sociation bookstore

history is a great thing.
One of the quoted early newspa-

The whole thing was a hoot, said
Gabriel, who found that the
papers owner, William Henry
Bruno, would publish whenever I
feel like it or have time to waste.
He would barter for payment, but
would not accept prunes. Newspa-

Expansion of the current shoot-
ing closure is necessary to protect
habitat for the black-footed ferret,
a federally endangered species.
All closure areas were specifically
designated as black-footed ferret
reintroduction habitat in the Ne-
braska National Forests and
Grasslands 2001 Land and Re-
source Management Plan, includ-
ing the 2008 Amendment that al-
lows closure without formal com-
ment periods due to changed con-
ditions.
Epizootic plague, the main fac-
tor leading to changed conditions,
emerged in Conata Basin in 2008,
Forest Service expands shooting
closure in Conata Basin
and has resulted in a massive re-
duction in habitat and correspon-
ding decline in black-footed ferret
populations. In 2007 Conata Basin
was one of the most successful
black-footed ferret sites in North
America with a population of 335
animals, but 2011 numbers have
declined to only 72 animals.
The existing prairie dog shoot-
ing closure, in effect since 1998, to-
tals 60,670 acres. Even as todays
newly expanded closure adds
18,755 acres, it is important to
note that due to effects of plague,
remaining prairie dog towns are
widely scattered and actually oc-
cupy less than 1,000 acres within
the expanded closure.
Additionally, the Wall Ranger
District has been selected as a sci-
entific research area for efforts to
develop an oral sylvatic plague
vaccine. This three-year, field test
trial is being done with the Na-
tional Wildlife Health Center,
USGS, and the University of Wis-
consin with the intent to halt
black-footed ferret extinction, and
potential human illness or fatali-
ties in regions where prairie dogs
reside. Prairie dog colonies se-
lected for research will be closed to
shooting throughout the field trial
period.
Announcing the shooting closure
expansion Lenzo said, Im author-
izing this action only after careful
consideration and discussions with
the South Dakota Departments of
Agriculture and Game and Fish,
and also with recreational sports
shooting groups including the Na-
tional Rifle Association, Varmint
Hunters and the 40 organizations
represented by the Shooting
Sportsmen Round Table. Because
of the extensive impact plague has
had on black-footed ferrets, our re-
sponsibilities require action to pro-
tect remaining habitat while we
concurrently provide research con-
ditions to develop an effective vac-
cine.
The Forest Service recognizes
the recreational and economic
value of sport shooting on public
lands. Approximately 8,000 acres
remain open for recreational
prairie dog shooting, and more
than one million acres remain
open to recreational sport shooting
on the Nebraska National Forests
and Grasslands.
The closure is immediately effec-
tive and will be enforced.

council with a proposal of hanging ban-
ners throughout the town to promote the

tional Park; he sees Wall as a gateway
community to the park. He would like to

ment; Todd Sieler for sidewalk replace-

gan to approve the Wall Celebration noise

cious animal. Anderson will continue to
review the ordinance and bring recom-
mendation at a later date.

outdoor recreation, which includes swim-
ming pools. Unable to apply for it in retro-
spect, however the possibility of remod-
eling the bathhouse could be an option if

FOCUS ON THE FAMILY
with Dr. James
Dobson
Dr. Dobson Answers
your Questions
QueSTioN: My spouse doesn't
get along with my parents and sib-
lings, and this has led to serious
conflict in our marriage. My mom
and dad have always enjoyed host-
ing big get-togethers with the ex-
tended family, especially during
the holidays, but things have got-
ten so bad that my spouse is no
longer willing to be a part of these
gatherings. I'm tired of dealing
with all this tension and dissen-
sion. Can you suggest a solution?
ANSWeR: The situation you're
describing is extremely common:
in home after home, family gather-
ings that are supposed to be filled
with love and warmth end up turn-
ing into tense, uncomfortable con-
frontations. But that doesn't mean
that you or your spouse have to re-
gard this kind of conflict as accept-
able or unavoidable. As intelligent
and morally responsible human
beings, you are both capable of
making choices that can lead to
positive change.
The first thing you need to do is
sit down together and discuss this
problem in a rational manner.
Find a time perhaps over coffee
or after dinner at a nice restaurant
when you can lay your concerns
on the table and make a concerted
effort to hammer out some kind of
solution. It's vital that the two of
you find a way to get on the same
team and come to a meeting of the
minds over this issue. Relation-
ships with extended family are an
important and inevitable part of
every marriage. This is a fact that
you're going to have to face to-
gether if you want to build a mari-
tal relationship that will go the
distance.
Perhaps it would be possible to
work out a compromise of some
kind. For example, consider the
option of skipping certain holidays
or planning alternatives to the big
family gatherings every other year.
When the next holiday is ap-
proaching, tell your parents that,
while you appreciate the invita-
tion, you and your spouse have de-
cided to spend a quiet Christmas
or Easter with your own immedi-
ate family this year. This may
have the effect of removing some of
the stress and tension and making
it easier for your spouse to face the
family gathering the next time
around.
A second choice would be to at-
tend the gathering, but make
plans to stay at a local hotel rather
than in your parents' home. You
might explain that while you're
looking forward to spending time
with them, you'd also like to have
the option of reserving some time
and space to yourselves. Then, if
things become absolutely unbear-
able for you or your spouse, you
can always politely excuse your-
selves and take refuge in the tran-
quility of your hotel room.
QueSTioN: We have three
boys in grade school and our two
older sons are constantly picking
on their younger brother. I inter-
vene when I can, but the youngest
one is beginning to play the victim,
and I don't want to encourage him
in that attitude. How do I handle
this complicated situation?
ANSWeR: If it's any consola-
tion to you, you're not alone. Every
parent with more than one child
deals with sibling rivalry at some
point or other. In some families
these conflicts even extend into
adulthood, with adults in their
30s, 40s and 50s competing with
one another like grade school kids.
That's why it's important to do
everything you can to nip them in
the bud before the situation esca-
lates.
You didn't mention whether
you're a single parent or not, so for
purposes of our answer we'll as-
sume that you're married and that
your sons are growing up in a
home with a present, involved and
caring father. We have a good rea-
son for insisting on this point.
Dads have a powerful influence on
their sons, whether for good or ill.
Boys tend to imitate their father's
behavior, including his treatment
of other people. This leads us to
ask the following questions. In
your household, does dad model
patience, kindness and respect in
his relationship with other mem-
bers of the family? Does he set firm
limits on the boys' behavior, imple-
menting swift consequences when
the older ones pick on their little
brother? If not, it's time for him to
step up to the plate.
If he is doing these things con-
sistently, then the issue may be
that your older sons feel they need
to compete for their mother's time
and affection. Strange as it may
seem, picking on little brother may
be a way of saying, "Mom, I want
you to pay attention to me."
In a case like this, one good way
to solve the problem is to make
sure that both mom and dad
schedule one-on-one time with
each of the boys a few times each
week. This could involve some-
thing as simple as a trip to store
with you, a game of catch in the
park or a walk around the neigh-
borhood. If your older sons are act-
ing out because they're feeling a
bit neglected, this individual time
with them could make a huge dif-
ference in their behavior.
