WRE celebrates 75th birthday

Laurie Hindman Photos

June 12, 1939, our founding fathers had the foresight to see that it was necessary to light up the homes
and ranches in the West River Electric community. They came together to sign the incorporation papers
and began the arduous task of digging holes for poles and stringing wire. West River Electric invited
members to come out and celebrate 75 years of providing power to the membership on the anniversary
of that very day, June 12. Longtime member Edgar Simon was on hand with many historic electric appliances and old lightbulbs to share. Merl Flatt, former employee, shared many photos of the early
days of bringing power to the members. Members and retired employees who were on service the day
the lights came on joined us to share stories. WRE had 200 members come out to the Wall office and
enjoy hamburgers, birthday cake and lots of memories. LED Lucy and CFL Charlie were on hand to
celebrate and entertain young and old with us. WRE will be having several commemorations throughout the year celebrating 75 years. Pictured above is West River Electric Directors and Employees serving
supper to their members. Pictured right is Lucy LED poising for a picture. (Not pictured CFL Charlie.)

School board approves to proceed with

Phase one of athletic complex
by Laurie Hindman
The Wall School Board met for
their regular board meeting on
Thursday, June 11.
The board approved a motion to
begin phase one of the athletic
complex. Rieckman reported the
Building Committee has met with
Koch-Hazard and he noted the
board should just concentrate on
the track and football field at this
time. Board Member Kevin Bielmaier who is part of the Building
Committee added if we start the
dirt work this fall and let everything settle the field would then
be finished in 2015. The board
will begin to look at different
types of turf to use on the field.
Judy Goldhammer was present
to answer any questions the
board would have on the property/liability insurance renewal.
Goldhammer noted with the increased claims from last year the
premium has increased 11.2 percent.
The board approved the insurance renewal along with the
workers compensation insurance
renewal.

Stratus were opened with the
highest bid being $2,801 by Taran
Eisenbraun. The board approved
to accept his bid.
Business Manager Niki Mohr
addressed the Power House/Facility use which had been discussed
at the May meeting. She informed
the board she has been visiting
with Superintendent Dennis
Rieckman and Elementary Principal Chuck Sykora on different
scenarios on anyone using the
Powerhouse during non-public
hours.
Mohr discussed different avenues of charging those who
would hold classes at the Powerhouse and what to do with the
Wall Drug employees who also
use the Powerhouse and arent
members.
Board member Todd Trask said,
The superintendent or principal
should have total discretion on a
membership fee structure on who
and who should not be a member
and everyone needs to work with

a calendar. We dont need to

micro-manage what goes on over
there. Rieckman added, We
need to determine who we charge
and dont charge for holding activities in the gym.
Mohr and Sykora will work on
updating classifications and
guidelines to be added to the Powerhouse policy.
The third reading of the Wellness Policy was approved
Home School Application 20-1

Superintendents seek more input

on activity association decisions
By Dana Hessfor, for S.D.
Newspaper Association
School superintendents want a
greater say in decisions made by
the South Dakota High School Activities Association, particularly
when those decisions have a significant financial impact.
At its meeting Wednesday, the
SDHSAA board of directors heard
from Baltic Superintendent
Robert Sittig representing the
South Dakota School Superintendents Association.
He said his organization has
concerns about the SDHSAAs
lack of an appeals process for
member schools that dont agree

with a board decision.

Sittig noted an amendment to
the SDHSAA constitution that
would have prohibited the association from enacting rules that
would require Class A and Class
B schools from implementing a
shot clock in boys and girls basketball without a 60 percent majority vote of members to support
the rule change.
SDHSAA constitutional amendments require a 60 percent favorable vote of members who cast
ballots. The amendment garnered
a 53.7 percent favorable vote and
was not enacted.
Sittig said member schools
brought forward the constitutional amendment because they
didnt see any other way of appealing the boards decision to implement shot clock rules.
We dont like unfunded mandates, Sittig said, noting that the
boards decision caused schools to
bear the cost of adding shot clocks
and also hiring people to run
them.
While he was at the meeting to
start a dialogue about an appeals
process, Sittig admitted that the
members of his organization
didnt unanimously support the
change.
He said some members believe
that appealing the boards decisions would be an inefficient way
to run the organization. According
to Sittig, that belief led some
schools to vote against the
amendment even though they
didnt care for the boards shot
clock decision.
Board chairman Darren Paulson of Rapid City said there
needed to be a determination
about what superintendents considered a significant financial im-

pact and how an appeals process

would work.
West Central Superintendent
Jeff Danielsen said he feared that
without an appeals process, more
constitutional
amendments
would be forthcoming to overturn
board decisions.
The majority of schools felt
like the decision was wrong in the
first place, Danielsen said.
Board members and superintendents agreed that an appeals
process would have to be limited
in scopeperhaps only to appeal
financial decisionsor else many
of the boards decisions might face
appeal.
Its a slippery slope were asking you to look at,Danielsen said.
And its a slope that at least one
board member would like to
avoid.
An appeals process is something thats not very appealing to
me, said Dan Whalen of Pierre.
Sittig, a former SDHSAA board
member, said that the boards
communication with its member
schools has improved, noting all
the information available on the
associations website.
I think there have been some
improvements, Sittig said. Now
its up to the schools to pay attention.
SDHSAA Executive Director
Wayne Carney and board member
Rick Weber of Flandreau will
hear directly from Settigs organization when they attend the superintendents annual meeting in
July. SDHSAAs August meeting
agenda will include a report on
what transpired at the July meeting.
It would be our suggestion that
the discussion continue,Sittig
said.

Thinking About Health: Taking
Unnecessary Antibiotics Can Be Harmful
By Trudy Lieberman,
Rural Health News Service
How many times have you
walked away from the doctors office with a prescription for an antibiotic to treat a cold? Probably
many.
Over the decades weve been
conditioned to believe that antibiotics are sort of an insurance policy against some malady that
might be worse than a cold or that
they will make the nasty symptoms magically disappear.
In recent years, study after
study has shown that this justin-case medicine comes with oodles of side effects and serious
consequences that might make
patients think twice before dashing off to the pharmacy.
And yes, it might mean questioning your doctors judgment
something most patients are reluctant to do.
While antibiotics can cure a
strep throat thats caused by bacteria, they arent going to do
much to get rid of a sore throat
caused by a virus---the culprit
causing most sore throats.
And while they are helpful in
clearing up bladder infections,
says the Mayo Clinic, antibiotics
arent much use when it comes to
curing the flu or most coughs.
Still, doctors prescribe them
anyway. Warnings surfaced more
than 20 years ago that taking antibiotics when they are not helpful could make patients resistant
to them years later when a serious infection develops.
Such resistance may make it
tough or even impossible to cure
these patients.
Yet last fall a study showed
that between 1997 and 2010 pri-

mary care and emergency room

doctors prescribed antibiotics
about 60 percent of the time for
sore throats.
The lead researcher, a primary
care doc from Brigham and
Womens Hospital in Boston,
noted that the right antibiotic
prescribing rate for adults with
sore throat is probably around 10
percent. So it seems many of us
are taking way too many of these
drugs.
The fact that American doctors
are all too willing to prescribe antibiotics hit home a couple of
weeks ago when I was traveling
in Europe. I had what seemed like
a garden-variety cold several days
before I left. Since it was lingering, I decided to check it out the
day after I arrived in London and
made my way to what the British
call the A and E Department (for
accidents and emergencies) at a
nearby hospital.
The doctor who examined me
saw no indications that would
warrant antibiotics---no red ears,
no red throat, no congestion in the
lungs.
She warned this viral infection
might turn into a bacterial illness, but for the time being, the
doctor explained antibiotics were
unnecessary and possibly harmful.
Another week passed, and the
symptoms got worse. It was clear
I needed to visit the National
Health Service again.
Sure enough this time a doctor
spotted signs indicating an antibiotic might be in order. But she
didnt prescribe a Z-Pack, Cipro,
or any other high-powered drug,
which is what I have seen doctors

do at urgent care centers in New

York City.
One time a physician give me
Zithromax which he said would
help the lungs, the ears, the sinuses and throat in case I had
something in those areas that
needed treatment.
In England I got a computergenerated prescription for oldfashioned amoxicillin, which a
pharmacy filled in less than five
minutes.
No one asked about coinsurance, copayments or whether the
drug was on the formulary---barriers patients face here.
In fact, I paid nothing for the
medicine. Medicines are free in
the UK to those over age 60. Nor
did I pay anything for the two visits to the health service. Initial
treatment at A and E departments and walk-in clinics is free
to all overseas visitors.
My point is not to tout the ease
of getting treated as a foreigner in
the U.K. but to note the proper
care that I received.
It made me think about all
those times U.S. doctors sent me
out with a prescription for the latest and greatest wonder drug, a
treatment that might come back
to hurt me some day.
The antibiotic worked, and the
whole experience underscored
that questioning your physician
when you show up with a cold
may be the best medicine of all.

Newtown Dam, Wall, for the spe-

cial program where fishing poles,

bait, archery bows, and arrows

Fischer commented how she
cherishes the memories of fishing with the family as a child, and
relishes the opportunities of fishing as an adult. Fishing and
archery has taught me how to

I wonder if anybody else does
what I do: outside Badlands National Park, those big, furry, dark
brown animals with horns are
buffalo. Inside the Park, they are
bison.
Next week for Story Time at the
Wall Library, a member of the
Park staff will be our guest
speaker to tell us about the bison
and why it is a bison and not a

buffalo. It should be interesting

and we should know the reasons!
Come and find out what the difference is. Story Time is at 9 a.m.,
on Fridays. Were getting a lot of
kids in (mostly pre-schoolers) but
even this old man is learning and
enjoying.
And dont forget out Summer

be prizes for children, young
adults and adults.

We have reading list for you to

keep track of your summer reading, cards to write book reviews.
Get credit for doing what you

Letter to the Editor

To the Editor
Will the State Public Utilities
Commission take the initiative
and allow fair and equal buy-back
rates for distributed generation of
power?
The EPA has proposed a 35 percent cut in the carbon pollution
for South Dakota power plants.
EPAs proposal puts states in control, allowing them to decide how
to best employ various options to
reduce carbon emissions.
The State of South Dakota is

one of only four states nationwide

which does not require net-metering; i.e. requiring fair and equal
buy-back rates for small-scale
electricity producers who utilize
solar panels on their roof or wind
turbines on their land.
Fair buy-back would increase
the incentive to install alternative
systems. An increase in these alternative systems would help the
state to reduce its carbon footprint and even remove some of
that burden off of the utility com-

panies.
By permitting net-metering no
new technologies would have to
be developed; existing technology
would fill the bill quite well.
Its time that the PUC enacted
regulations to require fair buyback of distributed power by the
investor owned utilities and the
states cooperatives.

Letter to the Editor

To the Editor
I have been following the city
council meeting minutes and it
looks to me like the mayor may
have an investment in Dakota
Mill, he is always worried about
what might happen to them or
trying to give them more land.
Also, some of the council members have a conflicting interest in
Dakota Mill, business wise and
one of them is an employee. One
suggested moving the Ambulance
Building closer to I-90 and letting
Dakota Mill have the land.
We moved the ambulance to the
present location to get out of down
town several years ago. Where it
is located now I feel is a perfect location. Good access to Creighton
Road - Airport Road - I-90 Fourth Avenue - Glenn Street and

Norris Street, not to mention

Main Street.
I think more thought should be
put into something before wild
statements are made, who is
going to pay for the cost of a new
building, land and moving expenses.
When Dakota Mill rebuilt at
the present location they knew
they didnt have enough room to
build or expand. So the city gave
them permission to build on city
property. Does this put extra liability on the city and tax payers?
At that time they didnt have
room for a Probing Station for the
trucks coming in, so the city gave
them permission to put this on a
city street in the driving lane. Do
you think they would allow anybody else to do this? Due to the

heavy truck traffic, it broke up

the street which had to be replaced at cost of approximately
$40,000 plus to replace it.
I was very upset with Dakota
Mill from the very start, I dont
think theyve done one thing
promised they should.
They have the council and
mayor eating right out of their
hand.
If they dont just give the Ambulance property to them and put
it up for bids there is other people
that are interested in the property.
This can all change with a new
mayor and council. It is time the
taxpayers of Wall took a good look
at what is going on.

One homesteaders impact on Dakota Territory

The interior of the Brown Homestead.

A dream and 160 acres were not
enough for some homesteaders to
live on in Dakota Territory.
But some homesteaders weathered drought, blizzards, grasshoppers and low crop prices to stay
and leave their mark on Dakota
Territory and then South Dakota.
One such person was Benjamin B.
Potter, better known as B.B. Potter.
Potter was about 39 years old
when he arrived in Walworth
County, one of the thousands who
poured into Dakota Territory during the Dakota Boom of 1878 to
1887.
Potter was born in Pennsylvania in 1845, and, as a child,
moved to Illinois and later to
Iowa. After serving in the Union
Army during the Civil War, he returned to Iowa and taught,
farmed and was a pharmacist.
Under the Homestead Act of
1862, any head of household or
adult citizen, or intended citizen,
who had never borne arms
against the U.S. government
could claim 160 acres of surveyed
government land by living on it
for five years and paying a filing
fee.
Claimants were required to
improve the plot by living on the
land, building a dwelling, making
improvements and cultivating the
land.
Title could also be acquired
after only a six-month residency,
provided the claimant paid the
government $1.25 an acre.
A special aspect of the Homestead Act was that Union veterans of the Civil War could count
their service time toward fulfillment of the five-year residency requirement.
In a letter to a friend that appeared in the jubilee edition of the
Selby Record on June 19, 1975,
Potter described his experiences
as a homesteader. His experiences were common to other settlers.
In the summer of 1885, Potter
walked over much of Walworth
County when he helped assess it.
He served as a delegate to the
constitutional convention in
Sioux Falls that fall.
Potter and his bride, Lulu, filed
on adjacent quarters about eight
miles south of Selby, near Bangor.
Before returning to Iowa for the
winter, Potter arranged for men
to build a house on the line between the two quarters.

In the spring of 1886, Lulu Potter, an adopted daughter and

Lulus brother traveled by train
from Iowa to Ipswich, where they
met Potter.
Potter listed the items he took
with him in order to farm as four
medium-sized mares and harness, three cows, two dogs, two
wagons, one mower, hay rake, hay
rack and household goods that included a new organ.
John Sawinsky met me in Ipswich with a team and a wagon.
We hauled everything out in
three loads including some coal
and lumber enough to build a
barn. I found the house all ready,
Potter wrote.
Potter did not describe the
house he had built on the claim.
With little or no timber to construct a house or outbuildings,
prairie homesteaders often built
houses out of sod.
They cut sod into strips and
stacked them to build walls. Settlers secured poles to form rafters
over which they laid boards,
prairie grass and sod.
People can see sod houses at
the Museum of the South Dakota
State Historical Society at the
Cultural Heritage Center in
Pierre, and at Badlands National
Park. Other homesteaders built
board claim shanties.
The following summer was the
driest we ever had. I sowed about
25 bushels of wheat and threshed
120 bushels. That was better than
lots of them did, Potter wrote.
He built a sod barn, making 27
trips to the river for wood and
poles to cover the barn. Potter described the winter of 1886-87 as
severe.
I promised my Maker many
things, that if he would take care
of us until spring, I would get out.
Feed got so scarce that a man offered me eleven good cows for my
organ that I paid $75 for. I dared
not trade, as I had all I could do
to get what stock I had through
the winter.
Lots of stock perished along the
river. They had plenty of hay but
it was drifted under and they
could not get to it.
But spring came and the snow
commenced to melt and as the
snow melted, our feeling for
South Dakota softened too and we
stayed.
In 1887, Potter had a well put
down, fenced a pasture and raised
700 bushels of wheat.

Minuteman missile to open

seven days a week
Minuteman Missile National
Historic Site will begin opening
seven days a week starting Monday, June 16th.
Ranger-guided tours of the
Delta-01 Launch Control Facility
and underground Launch Control
Center will now be offered every
day of the week.
The Minuteman Missile Visitor
Contact Station will also be open
seven days a week from 8:00
4:30 p.m. Launch Facility (Missile
Silo) Delta-09 will be open for
self-guided audio tours during
this time.
Visitor demand is high and the
staff at Minuteman Missile is
ready for a very busy summer
season. Having tours seven days
a week will allow hundreds of
extra visitors to experience this
nationally significant resource
said Lead Interpretative Park
Ranger Alison Shoup.
Tickets for tours are available
on a first come, first served basis.
Reservations are not taken.
Minuteman Missile NHS was
established by Congress in 1999
to tell the story of the Minuteman
ICBM system, including the development of the system, the personnel who served at the 1,000

sites throughout the upper Great

Plains, and the impact of the system on the communities nearby.
Administration of Delta-01 and
Delta-09 was transferred from
the United States Air Force in
September 2002 to the National
Park Service. More information
about the site can be found on the
internet at www.nps.gov/mimi or
by phone at: 605-433-5552.

The year 1889, was a good year

for crops, he wrote, and he raised
1,100 bushels of wheat and received $1.11 a bushel.
Crops were fair two years later,
but no price for anything. Sold a
fine pair of four-year-old steers
with yoke on for $45.00; a pair of
young horses for $100.00.
Potter put money into cows and

horses, and had about 50 head of

cattle and 20 horses when he
rented out the farm in the spring
of 1895, and moved to Bangor.
Potter served two terms as
county treasurer, established a
business, served as the first
mayor of Selby and was appointed
justice of peace.
He and his wife, who died in
1925, had two sons, Clarence and
Claud.
At the time of his death on
March 6, 1930, Potter still owned
the land on which he homesteaded. He was the last Civil
War veteran in the county, according to the Selby Record.
Mr. Potter has ever been one of
the countys most honored and respected citizens and his passing is
a heavy loss to a community
larger than Selby and vicinity,
stated an article about Potter in
the Selby Record. To undertake
to enumerate his lesser services
to county, town, and community
would be an almost endless task
and would make a history of the
county. He was ever ready to help
with any good cause.

Wall volunteer firefighters receive

grain bin rescue training
Training part of grain bin
rescue equipment donation
from Farm Credit Services of
America
Wall Volunteer Fire and Rescue
Department received life-saving
grain bin rescue equipment on
June 2, 2014, through a donation
from Farm Credit Services of
America (FCSAmerica). A grain
bin rescue exercise followed that
same day to train Wall Volunteer
Fire and Rescue Department and
Quinn Volunteer Fire Department
in the use of the specialized equipment.
Wall Volunteer Fire and Rescue
Department received a 10-panel
system, slide hammer and other
accessories manufactured by Outstate Data in Elbow, Minn., specifically for grain bin rescue. The
equipment will be available not
only in Wall Volunteer Fire Departments service area, but also
across Haakon, Jackson County
Counties or wherever in Western
South Dakota.
Like any fire equipment, you
hope you never have to use it, Assistant Chief John Kitterman said.
But if you need grain bin rescue
equipment, we will be here to
help.
FCSAmerica has identified
grain bin rescue equipment as a
critical need across its four-state
territory. Grain bin entrapments
can happen in a matter of seconds
and far too many end in injury or
death because the specialized res-

cue equipment isnt available at

the nearest fire house.
As more farmers add grain bins
to their operations, the potential
for grain bin entrapments increases, said Dick Zach, vice president of FCSAmericas Columbus
office. It makes me proud to equip
volunteer rescuers to save lives.
More information on the equipment being delivered to Rising
City is available at http://www.outstatedata.com.
About Wall Volunteer
Fire and Rescue
Twenty volunteers dedicate
their time and know-how to provide fire and rescue services to
Wall and the surrounding area.
The Wall Volunteer Fire and Rescue Department is the only fire department in Western South
Dakota to have grain bin rescue
equipment.
About Farm Credit
Services of America
Farm Credit Services of America
is proud to finance the growth of
rural America, including the special needs of young and beginning
producers. With assets of more
that $21 billion, FCSAmerica is
one of the regions leading
providers of credit and insurance
services to farmers, ranchers,
agribusiness and rural residents in
Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota
and Wyoming.

take place before the concert at
5:30. Half of their songs will be
sacred music and the other half,
secular music. Sounds like something you dont want to miss.
Last Tuesday night, we had an
awful wind leaves and
branches all over the yard the
next morning. Humidity has been
high. Friday we received some
rain with some more on Saturday.
A few pea size hail was with it,
not enough to do damage. Well
see what this week has in store
for us.
The good you do is not lost
though you forget it.

Summer is almost here
which means its officially vacation season. You may be looking
forward to getting away from it
all, but, as you know, vacations
actually require a fair amount of
planning. And it might surprise
you to learn that some of the efforts required for successful vacations can impart some valuable
lessons in other areas of your life
such as investing.
Here are some vacation-related
moves that you may want to
transfer to the investment and financial arenas:
Secure your home. If youre
going on vacation for a week or so,
you may need to take some steps
to safeguard your home: stopping
your mail and newspaper, putting
on a timer to turn on lights, alerting your neighbors that youll be
out of town, and so on. But while
its important to secure your home
today, you will also want to help
ensure it will be there for your
family in the future, should any-

As promised, July 4th, Independence Day, will be quickly

upon us. We are still asking for
parade participants, encouraging
vintage vehicles of all sorts,
horses and riders, (not necessarily vintage) you know, Wasta
kind of stuff.
Well have a lunch and kids
games and once again TALENT SHOW in the evening.
Weve never been able to get any
cowboy poets and we know you
are out there!
We so appreciate your support
and have enjoyed being part of
Wastas July 4th celebrations. We
are looking forward to seeing you
being part of the parade, with fire
trucks or kids with wagons and
dogs or candy catchers beside the
streets, games of skill or chance,
like water balloon baseball or
three legged races, talent show,
troopers who sing, play or tap
dance we welcome and love it
all! Now if we can convince
Sparky to make the trip.
And that little red tractor at
mile marker 92 north side,
complete with American Flag
would have its own spot.
Family Reunion and kite flying
Saturday and Sunday as Nachtigalls gathered in Wasta, seemed
to be the highlight of the event.
Well, next to time to visit and
catch up on and share news. This
is hosted by Moni Grenstiner and
Tammy Green yearly and relatives find the Wasta Community
Hall and park a great place for
this family time where about 20+
of the Nachtigalls talked and ate
and flew kites!

thing happen to you. Thats why

youll want to maintain adequate
life and disability insurance.
Know your route. If you are
driving to your vacation destination, you will want to plan your
route beforehand, so that you can
avoid time-consuming delays and
detours. And to reach your financial goals, such as a comfortable
retirement, you will also want to
chart your course by creating
an investment strategy that is designed to help you work towards
those goals based on your specific
risk tolerance, investment preferences and time horizon.
Keep enough gas in the tank.
As you set out on a road trip, you
need a full tank of gas in your car,
and youll have to keep refueling
along the way. And to go the distance in pursuing your financial
goals, you will need to have sufficient fuel in the form of investments with reasonable growth potential. Without a reasonable
amount of growth-oriented vehicles in your portfolio, you could
lose ground to inflation and potentially fall short of your objectives so, over time, you may
need to refuel by reviewing your
portfolio and rebalancing if necessary.
Protect yourself from getting
burned. If your vacation plans include a stay at the beach, youll
need to protect yourself and your
family from the hot sun so
make sure youre all using sunscreen. When you invest, you can
also get burned if you are not
careful especially if you are inclined to chase after hot investments. By the time you hear
about these so-called sizzlers,
they may already be cooling off,
and, even more importantly, they
just might not be appropriate for
your goals and risk tolerance. Instead of becoming a heat-seeking investor, focus your efforts on
building a diversified array of
quality investments appropriate
for your needs. If you only own
one type of financial asset, and a
downturn hits that asset class,
your portfolio could take a big hit.
But by diversifying your holdings,
you can help reduce the effects of
volatility. Keep in mind, though,
that diversification, by itself, cant
guarantee profits or protect
against loss.
As weve seen, some of the same
principles that apply to creating a
vacation may also be applicable to
your investing habits. So, put
these principles to work to enjoy
a pleasant vacation and a potentially rewarding investment
experience.

S.D., the son of John F.
and Edna E. (Downer)
Brucklacher. Alvin grew
up in Turner County 11
miles southeast of Freeman. He attended school
at Salem Township District #47. Before he
started grade school his
mother was given a message from God, that her
son, Alvin, was going to
grow up to be a minister,
but she never told him, because
she did not want him to be a minister because she said so. He was
baptized as an infant and confirmed when in the 8th grade. He
went to Freeman Public High
School from where he graduated
in 1948. The call came to him to be
saved by the Lord Jesus Christ,
and accept Him as his person savior in 1946. To him the only way to
serve Christ, beyond the farm
fence was to become a minister.
After graduating from high school
he went to Augustana College in
Sioux Falls, to begin post graduate studies to become a minister.
After two years, he was failing
academically. He then decided to
go to Bible school and get a Biblebased life. He went to Lutheran
Bible Institute at Minneapolis,
Minn. While he was there, he took
a course in How to Study. After
a year he returned to Augustana
College and applied what he had
learned and came up with As and
Bs. He was able to play sports
again and academically increased.
With summer school he was able
to achieve enough points to graduate with an honorable bachelor
of arts degree.
Thus having obtained his degree from Augustana College in
1953, and while working for Ralph
Nelson in 1952, he met and married Ralphs sister, Lenore. They
were married June 26, 1953.
Al attended Lutheran Theological Seminary in the fall of 1953
and while there they were paid for
taking care of a retired minister
and his wife, a short distance from
the seminary in St. Paul. After attending the seminary they were
placed on internship at Stanley,
N.D. Lenore and Al and their
three children lived in the basement of the SS building. Upon
completion of their internship, Al
went back to seminary to finish
his final years of study. Lenore
and the family stayed in a temporary parsonage at Ross, located
seven miles west of Stanley. Al
was called to continue serving
Bethlehem Lutheran Church in
Ross while attending seminary
and commuted every two weeks
back to Ross to preach. Upon finishing his studies, he received a
Master of Theology and was ordained in his home congregation,
Salem Lutheran Church in 1957.
While he was there, his mother
bared her heart and told him she
knew since 1934, that he was
going to be a minister. They wept
and hugged each other. His first
baptism to perform upon ordination, was his fourth son John in
1957, while living in Ross. He
served three congregations, Beth-

lehem Lutheran of Ross, First

Lutheran of Manitau, and First
Lutheran of White Earth. While
there, they helped build a new
parsonage at Ross, a new church
at Manitau, and the congregation
thrived in attendance. In 1960,
they received and accepted a call
from Florence and moved to serve
four congregations, St. Pauli of
Wallace, Godue of Florence, Helgen of Florence, and Bergen of
South Shore, all in South Dakota.
While there, Helgen was closed
and moved to Florence where the
pastor lived. It was called New
Helgen and provided a place for
the parish office and meetings. It
has been remodeled many times
since.
Upon serving there for seven
years, they moved to Philip in
1967, to serve Trinity Lutheran
Church of Grindstone, Hilland
Lutheran north of Philip, and
First Lutheran Church of Philip,
all in South Dakota. In 1972, Al
and Lenore lost a son, and after 18
years of intense ministry, he was
headed for burn out and left the
church for a self-employment carpenter task in 1974. He took a
leave for a working sabbatical.
Then in 1976, he was asked to
serve as a part-time pastor and
travel from his ranch to the place
of need. This was the beginning of
another 25 years of renewed ministry. He travelled to churches in
need of part-time commuting itinerate minister under the title,
Mr. Ecumenical, have Bible will
travel. It led him to acquire eight
congregations and pastors who
needed help.
Pastor Al went to the St. Paul
School of Theology for six weeks in
1979 and became a licensed pastor
and served under the UMC as a
modern day circuit rider. Pastor Al
traveled to congregations in Interior, Faith, Wall, Philip, Rapid
City, Belle Fourche, Humboldt,
and Tulare. He received his second wind from the Holy Spirit.
His goal was to get all church together and heal their differences.
Pastor Al was a whiz at getting
people together, and through the
guided discovery in small groups
talking about their differences one
by one, needs assessment, set
their goals, and pursue. In the
early 1970s, he received the Boy
Scouts High honor of the Wood
Badge, and was trained in the
Competencies of Leadership. He
attended summer school in Ft.
Collins, Colorado and took a
course in Steps from Idea to Action. He also took an extension
course from the University of
Spearfish called Group Dynamics. He used the power of the Holy

help of these courses to enable people to arrive at the
solutions to congregational
growth. Where ever he
went the congregations increased in attendance,
building
expansions,
growth, and outreach to
serve the Risen Lord Jesus
Christ, with listening
love.

Solving Challenges Creatively

Weekly, daily, even hourly, we
run into challenges in our lives
and very often our response is to
"shoot from the hip" so to speak,
doing whatever pops into our
minds in an effort to solve those
challenges. While this may work
some of the time, I find that more
often than not, this method of
problem solving only leads to more
challenges to deal with.
I have come to believe that
when challenges arise, it is much
better to take the necessary time
to do a little creative thinking, so
that I can discover my best options
and proceed accordingly. This
strategy usually ends up saving
me time, energy, money, misunderstanding and a lot more in the
long run.
Today, I will share some tips on
how you can most effectively tap
into your creative potential to
solve challenges.
Preparing yourself for creative
thinking is the first step to tapping into your personal potential.
Identify the right time of day and
use that time which is most creative for you. Maybe your most
creative time is early in the morning or perhaps you are more creative late at night. Invest time
thinking creative thoughts in this
key time frame that works best for
you.
Don't be afraid to work alone. A
quiet, calm environment is definitely most conducive to creativity,
so do what you can to cut off interruptions and distractions, since
they tend to stop the flow of your
creative juices.
It's important to keep focused,
so be sure that you set your mind
on dealing with only one issue at
a time. Grab your pen and paper
(or pull up a clean page on your
computer) and define your challenge and clarify it.
I think this next part is really
the most fun. State your challenge
in the form of a question that demands a multiplicity of answers:
"In What Way Can We improve,
change, modify, or solve the chal-

lenge?"
Ask yourself "IWWCW _____?"
In what ways can we _____?
Here are ten idea-spurring
questions to help you think creatively and innovatively:
Will it do more?
Will it last longer?
Is there a less expensive way?
Is there an easier way?
Is there a better way?
Could it be modified?
Could it be adapted to different uses?
What can be added? Subtracted? Substituted?
How can we upgrade it?
Is there another use for this
other than the original application?
I should also mention the following are key characteristics of a
creative person. I encourage you
to develop these traits in yourself
and others.
Sensitivity and alertness to
challenges at their inception (I can

Alfalfa Weevils in
New Alfalfa?
Alfalfa weevils made their appearance late this spring, but did
arrive. Having seen a number of
alfalfa fields already cut, and
hearing of several producers
spraying for weevils, this column
will come out in print after many
management decisions have been
made.
One producer recently called
with a question that merits addressing for this year and/or future reference. He mentioned an
established (@ three years?) field
being infested with alfalfa weevils
(some shot-holing in the upper
leaves).
Although the field was too
muddy to cut at the time he
called, it was beginning to bloom,
and his plan was to cut it as soon
as the soil dried enough to do so,
a good plan. With the shortest
pre-harvest interval of any insecticide labeled for alfalfa being
seven days, he will likely be able
to harvest the crop sooner than if
he had sprayed it.
He was advised to watch for
weevils feeding on the regrowth
and to consider applying an insecticide if necessary. With the abundance of soil moisture present in

most areas, regrowth should

occur soon after cutting if weevils
are not present in high enough
numbers to hold it back.
His concern was with the newly
seeded alfalfa next to the established field, and whether the weevils would infest that and damage
the stand. The answer is, highly
unlikely, and lies in the life cycle
of the alfalfa weevil and when the
various stages occur.
In South Dakota, the adult alfalfa weevil emerges in mid-late
June, after the pupa stage, hibernates/aestivates over the summer, feeds a little in the fall, and
survives the winter in protective
cover. When temperatures warm
in the spring, the adults become
active, mate, and the females lay
eggs in new alfalfa stems. When
enough heat units have accumulated, the eggs hatch, the larvae
feed until they grow large enough
to pupate and the cycle continues.
Established fields are the prime
target for egg laying adult females, as newly seeded alfalfa
plants are quite small when egg
laying occurs and would not be
appealing. The larvae have very
limited mobility, and cannot
travel very far to find lush alfalfa,
like the newly seeded field, if
their field is harvested.
Adult alfalfa weevils can fly
well enough that an alfalfa field
in its second year is about as vul-

nerable to egg laying and larval

feeding as a well-established
field, and merits scouting in the
spring. Many producers have experienced some degree of relief
from alfalfa weevils by planting a
grass-alfalfa mix instead of a pure
stand of alfalfa.

Transient vendor season is underway in South Dakota, a time

when out-of-state vendors roll
into the state to sell their products and services.
While many of the vendors are
legitimate, the South Dakota Department of Revenue advises people to take common-sense steps to
ensure vendors are reputable before doing business with them.
If you are considering hiring a
person to provide repair or construction services, the department advises you to:
Ask for a price quote, in advance, in writing.
Question the contractor about
a permanent address and telephone number, and do not assume
that if the information they provide is local, they are a local business. Transient vendors often
have business cards printed with
local mailing services or motel addresses and telephone numbers.
Ask for a list of local references and check them before
making a decision.
Ask if the contractor has
workers compensation and general liability insurance. If vendors
are not properly insured, homeowners may be liable for accidents that occur on their property.
Be careful about paying for
work in advance; before making
final payments, make sure tran-

sient vendors have paid their

local suppliers or you may be held
liable for unpaid materials.
Make sure you are completely
satisfied with the work before
paying the bill, and do not pay
more for the job than originally
quoted unless you have given
written approval for the additional work or cost.
Out-of-state vendors often
travel to South Dakota to sell
items like fruit, seafood, meat
packages, paintings, magazine
subscriptions, rugs, T-shirts, sunglasses, household cleaners, furniture, stuffed animals, and asphalting and roofing services.
Asking the right questions when
approached by those vendors can
help you avoid making a purchase
you may regret:
Question the salesperson
about the product, warranties,
guarantees, etc.
Get something in writing with
the companys name, address and
phone number.
Ask to see their current South
Dakota tax license. State law requires everyone selling products
or services to have a current
South Dakota sales or contractors excise tax license. To verify if
the license is valid, call the Departments toll-free helpline at
(800) 829-9188.
All sellers must provide you

with a contract or receipt at the

time of sale showing the date, the
merchants name and address,
and a statement informing you of
your right to cancel the contract
within three days. After proper
cancellation, the seller has 10
days to refund your money.
If you have doubts about the
vendor or think you may have
been the victim of a scam, call
your local police department or
county sheriff s office immediately.
You can also contact the Attorney Generals Consumer Protection Office at (800) 300-1986 or by
email at consumerhelp@state.sd.
us.
Be prepared to give as much information as you can about the
vendor, including the name of the
company and salesperson; company address and telephone number; and make, model and license
number (if possible) of the vehicle
the vendor was driving.
Without tips from the public,
law enforcement officials may not
be able to catch illegal vendors before they move on to the next community.
For more information on transient vendors, contact the South
Dakota Department of Revenues
toll-free helpline at (800) 8299188, press 1 for the Business
Tax Division.

Approximately 795,000 strokes occur in the U.S. each year. Recognizing the symptoms and acting quickly can help save lives and limit permanent disabilities. The
National Stroke Association recommends the FAST technique for identifying potential signs of a stroke.

F = FACE

Ask the person to smile.

Does one side of the face droop?

A = ARMS

Ask the person to raise both arms.

Does one arm drift downward?

S = SPEECH Ask the person to repeat a simple sentence.

Does the speech sound slurred or strange?

T = TIME

If you observe any of these signs (independently

or together), call 9-1-1 immediately.

Great tips for lawn mower

maintenance

Proudly serving Western SD.

Farming starts here!

StatePoint wants you to know

its the season for outdoor fun in
your yard. Its also the season for
lawn mower maintenance.
Paying attention to lawn mower
maintenance -- particularly for
riding mowers -- can pay off in
many ways. It increases your
mowers performance, reliability
and even durability.
Take care of scheduled maintenance before something becomes
an issue and costs you big bucks.
Here a few tips from the experts
at Exmark Manufacturing, a leading manufacturer of commercial
zero-turn mowers:
Cleaning: Clean often but minimize use of water. Water can lead
to corrosion, among other problems. Use compressed air or blowers as much as possible. If you do
use water, make sure you grease

!
"

"

and lubricate afterwards.

Adjust New Belts: Check the
belt three times in the first 24
hours of use, and adjust if necessary. During this time, the belt is
fitting into the pulleys. If it is allowed to loosen as it fits in, you
may spin or burn it, drastically reducing its life.
Sharpen and Balance Mower
Blades: Every eight to 10 hours of
use, sharpen blades and replace
damaged ones. Blade-balancing
tools are inexpensive and readily
available. Consider keeping an
extra set of sharp, balanced
blades.
More lawn mower maintenance
tips are available at www.exmark.com/ServiceTips.aspx.
Proper mower maintenance can
go a long way to making yard
work easier.

Dobson
Dr. Dobson Answers
your Questions
QuESTION: After many years
of a marriage that has seen numerous painful circumstances requiring forgiveness on the part of
both spouses, what can a couple
do to restore trust to their relationship?
ANSWER: First be wary of
clichs and pat answers that
promise quick solutions to the
problem youre facing. By your
own testimony, its taken many
years to build the wall of bitterness and suspicion that now
stands at the heart of your relationship. You cant expect to tear
it down in a single day. Restoring
trust takes time. Its a process
that requires both an accurate
understanding and an appropriate application of the principle of
forgiveness. But you cant begin to
move in this direction until you
know what the words trust and
forgiveness really mean.
Trust is something that has to
be earned. Its a mistake to assume that a person is worthy of
trust simply because hes expressed remorse and youve offered him forgiveness. Thats just
the beginning. As has already
been indicated, trust can be broken fairly quickly, but the rebuilding process can be lengthy and tedious. This is especially true
where the offenses in question
were unusually hurtful or if
theyve been repeated numerous
When

times.
wounded, its difficult to trust
again unless you can see tangible
evidence that things are going to
be different in the future. So if
youre the spouse taking the initiative to restore the relationship,
look for change and insist on seeing it implemented before moving
forward. At the same time, dont
make unrealistic demands. Depending on the seriousness of the
offense, you might reasonably expect the following responses from
your partner:
1) A willingness to take personal responsibility for the damage done without shifting blame
or adopting evasive tactics.
2) A determination to come up
with a precise and definitive plan
designed to prevent further offenses.
3) A commitment to join you in
seeking Christian counseling.
This would include an active resolve to sort through all problematic issues and to make all the
necessary changes.
4) Patience and forbearance in
allowing the wounded spouse the
time necessary to heal without
undue pressure.
Forgiveness, too, is a frequently
misunderstood concept. Many
people seem to believe that forgiving means one of the following:
1) Condoning or excusing the
offense.
2) Forgetting past abuses or injustices.
3) Minimizing or justifying negative behavior.
4) Immediately trusting the offender again.
By way of contrast, true biblical
forgiveness is not a matter of
overlooking offenses or sweeping
them under the rug. Instead it
means:
1) Giving up unhealthy anger
which is often expressed as bitterness, spite, rage, the silent treatment, or revenge.
2) Turning both the offender
and the offense over to God for
His righteous judgment.
3) Making a commitment to

Regular prayer times are also

important. As your children grow,
make the effort to pray with them
about their personal struggles.
When God answers a prayer, call
it to your child's attention and
thank the Lord for what He's
done. In the meantime, keep an
eye out for those teachable moments that pop up during the
course of everyday life opportunities to draw spiritual lessons
out of practical circumstances.
They can present themselves at
any time, and they don't have to
be structured. You might, for example, tell the story of Noah as
you drive through the rain, or
talk about the folly of revenge
when you see an advertisement
for a violent movie.
Parental modeling is the most
important piece of this puzzle.
Kids need to see active faith
demonstrated in their parents'
lives. No one expects you to be
perfect, but your actions truly
speak louder than your words.
Letting your children see you
read the Bible, for instance,
shows them the relevance of
Scripture to your life. It can also
lead to some important discussions of spiritual things.
When this kind of foundation is
being laid at home, church and
youth group activities can function as supplements to boost your
child's spiritual growth. It's important for your kids to spend
time with other believers, and
worship services and group outings can reinforce what your child
is taught within the family. They
will also provide opportunities for

advice for having family devotions? Weve tried hard to have

regular devotions as a family, but
its been difficult and discouraging because our children seem so
bored and uninvolved. Can you
help us?
ANSWER: Most Christian parents would probably agree that
the spiritual training of their children is important, but they don't
feel as if they have the time, energy, or qualifications to provide
it. Many let this aspect of childrearing fall by the wayside out of
ignorance or fear of failure. The
fact that you're putting out an effort in this area tells us that your
heart is in the right place, and
you're moving along the right
path. We want to encourage you
to keep up the good work. We'd
also like to help you fine tune
your approach to your kids' spiritual training.
If you have devotions, we suggest you keep them brief and ageappropriate. Talk about issues
your child might be dealing with.
Family nights are a less traditional way to accomplish the
same goal. These fun times with
a spiritual point might feature
anything from games to object
lessons to watching and discussing a movie. For a more complete explanation and some practical ideas to get you started, we
recommend that you take a look
at our Parents' Guide to the Spiritual Growth of Children. This
book is published by Focus on the
Family and Tyndale House and
can be ordered by way of our Online Store.

FOCUS ON THE FAMILY

work through the issues together

until the root causes of the problem have been identified and resolved.
4) Actively rebuilding the relationship, brick by brick, on a foundation of solid trust.
Remember: forgiveness is not
optional for the Christian. God requires that you forgive your
spouse for if you do not forgive
men their trespasses, neither will
your Father forgive your trespasses (Matthew 6:15). So be
kind and compassionate to one
another, forgiving one another
just as God in Christ has forgiven
you (Ephesians 4:32). If this is a
struggle for you, begin by asking
the Lord to help you in those
areas where youre finding it difficult to forgive. Sin is the obvious
reason we hurt each other, but it
isnt always easy to get to the
practical heart of the matter. For
helpful insight into this aspect of
the problem, wed highly recommend that you and your spouse
get a copy of R.T. Kendalls excellent book Total Forgiveness and
study it from cover to cover.
