By Del BartelsThe Badlands/Bad River Region

Economic Development Partner-ship, which encompasses HaakonCounty, Jackson County and east-ern Pennington County, has re-ceived national recognition.

The Stronger Economies To-gether (SET) group produced oneof only four national High QualityPlans. The recognition plaque willbe displayed at various times inthe different communities of thearea.

Now the group must put theplans into action, with help from a$10,000 South Dakota Commu-nity Foundation grant and a$5,000 United States Departmentof Agriculture rural developmentgrant.

The Badlands/Bad River Regionpartnership met in Philip, Thurs-day, June 4.

Mary Burnett is the main con-

tact in Philip for the SET groupand the new Badlands/Bad RiverRegion group. “Our sense of com-munity is changing to a regionalcommunity,” said Burnett. Shesaid that a goal is to alter the pop-ulation’s mind set to “what is goodfor one is good for all.”

Plans are underway to developa website and Facebook page forthe partnership. The two sites willboast a wide variety of photos ofthe region, its people, landscapes,activities and more.

So that representative photosfor the sites can be collected, anupcoming photo contest will beopen to residents of the regionwith high resolution photos of theregion. Details about the contestwill be available soon.

In addition, some promotionalmaterials will be ordered so thatthe Badlands/Bad River EconomicDevelopment Partnership can be

publicized in the communities ofthe region. Once people in the re-gion have given their constructiveopinion of the promotions, thenthe improved promotions will gooutside the region.

Discussion also began on host-ing some kind of event this fall togather more support and involve-ment on carrying out the plan forthe region.

“This is definitely a group ef-fort,” said Peggy Schlechter, com-munity development field special-ist. “The USDA’s rural develop-ment staff on our national levelcertainly know about the Bad-lands/Bad River Region and weare just getting started.”

The next Badlands/Bad RiverEconomic Development Partner-ship meeting is Monday, July 13,in the Wall Community Center,starting at 5:30 p.m. The meetingis open to all interested.

By Michaela BryanOn the evening of Wednesday,

June 10 airplane pilot NormanSurplus landed his MT-03 auto-gyro plane at the Wall Airport.Surplus is attempting to make anofficial world record by being thefirst to fly an autogyro to circum-navigate the globe. The Germanmanufactured autogyro, nick-named “Roxy”, is an open cockpit,two seat plane and is only five me-ters long.

Surplus started his venturefrom the town of Larne in AntrimCounty, Northern Ireland wherehe is from. Surplus is an autogyropilot and a sailor. Surplus origi-nally attempted to circle the globein July 2011 but was held up inJapan for three years. Surplushad to wait for the Russian Feder-ation to allow him to cross the fareast of Russia to reach Alaska and

beyond. Finally, the decision wasmade to go around the Russiansection.

In 2015, Surplus started hisventure again. The autogyro withpilot Surplus had landed inCuster but was advised to come toWall due to the moisture and fogin the Custer area. Surplus stayedin Wall until the morning of June12, and then departed towardMitchell to do an interview withthe TV station. From there, heplanned on traveling to Worthing-ton, Minn., Oshkosh, Wis. andthen Chicago.

When Surplus has completedhis venture to be the first pilot tofly an autogyro around the world,he will have crossed 26 countriesand flew nearly 27,000 milescrossing oceans, jungles, desertsand mountains.

One of the major issues for pilot

Surplus is safety. His technicalsupport team did extensive re-search to achieve optimum safetyfor the feat. To cross oceans andvast lands, the aircraft has an ad-ditional fuel tank to extend theaircraft range. The average rangeof the autogyro is 300 miles butwith the additional tank, the air-craft could reach over 800 miles.Surplus also wears a full immer-sion survival suit. The suit ismade of a highly breathable mate-rial and is bright red with reflec-tive visibility tape.

Pilot Surplus was diagnosedwith an advanced stage of bowelcancer and is also using the flightto bring awareness of bowel can-cer to the world. The public cantrack Surplus and the autogyro ontheir website gyroxgoesglobal.com.

By Michaela BryanThe Wall City Council met on

Wednesday, June 17 at 6:30 p.m.Five council members were pres-ent including Mike Anderson,Jerry Morgan, Stan Anderson,Rick Hustead, Gale Patterson andMayor Marty Huether. FinanceOfficer Carolynn Anderson andPublic Works Director GarrettBryan were also in attendance.

The meeting was called to orderand the agenda was motioned tobe approved by M. Anderson andseconded by S. Anderson. Motionwas carried. The consent agendawas motioned for approval byMorgan and seconded by Hustead.Motion was carried.

The first visitor was PenningtonCounty Emergency ManagementDirector Dustin Willett. Willettwas asked to attend to give hisguidance on a comprehensive planin the case of severe weather suchas a tornado. Community mem-bers in traitors, mobile homes orin residences and work placeswith no basements were con-cerned on where to go during theevent of a tornado or severeweather. Willett stated there is anaverage of eight to 10 minutes ofresponse time when a tornadowarning goes into effect. There arethree outdoor public warningsirens in Wall which are activatedby the Pennington County Dis-patch located in Rapid City. Wil-lett informed within the next twoyears, the codes to activate thesirens can be punched in by localofficials when need be.

As another possible suggestion,Willett noted tourism towns withbusy main streets such as Key-stone and Hill City have a commu-nity speaker intercom audio sys-tem that usually plays “moodmusic” and can be interrupted tobroadcast severe weather warn-ings.

“During a tornado, peopleshould go to a well constructed

building with a large spanned roofand find the lowest floor in thelowest room without windows, in-formed Willett. “ It is actually sta-tistically safer to be outside atrailer home than in a trailerhome during a tornado. Same goesfor RV’s, mobile homes, campgrounds and tents. It is actuallysafer to be in your car than in atrailer or mobile home.”

Willett stated no emergencyplan is perfect and it is difficult tocome up with a plan for every sin-gle citizen in a city. The people inthe areas with most danger, suchas mobile homes, RV parks andnursing homes should be one ofthe first to have an emergencyplan as they are at the most atrisk. Councilman Patterson notedthe local Police Department havekeys to the Lutheran andMethodist church basementswhich is not too far from thetrailer, RV parks and Prairie Vil-lage. Willett noted he planned ontaking more time to come to Wallagain soon and tour the town tosee if he can work with the mayorand council on coming up with abetter emergency plan.

The next visitor was Leah Bi-fulco of the Casey Peterson audi-tor’s office to present the sum-mary on the 2014 audit. Petersoninformed the audit went well. TheWall City revenues versus ex-penses is 130 percent which isvery good as other cities breakeven. If the Wall City were to stopgetting revenue, the city could op-erate for a year and a half on itsown. Peterson noted other citiesare not as tourist based and do notbring in as much sales tax as Walldoes. The sales tax revenue wasup by a 8.22 percent increase.Again, Peterson said overall theaudit went really well, just a fewtransfers of cash to the right ac-counts. C. Anderson informed shewould need a motion to approvethe 2014 audit. S. Anderson mo-

tioned to approve and Pattersonseconded. The motion was carriedto approve the 2014 audit.

Next item on the agenda wasthe approval for going to bid forthe Wall school waterline. The wa-terline is to extend all the way toDeitrichs lot. The cost of the con-struction of the waterline is$128,000. The bids for the water-line will open on July 8. S. Ander-son motioned to approve going tobid and Patterson seconded. Mo-tion was carried.

The floor was open for publiccomments. There were no publiccomments. ,

Wall School Tech CoordinatorRandall Poste was present to do atraining on the new city council i-Pads. Poste showed how to set upsecurity codes, preview new citycouncil email accounts, set upSkype or FaceTime, and navigate.Some useful Apps Poste showedwas a Google language voicetranslator. Poste shared an exam-ple of when the App came inhandy.

“A local police officer had pulledover a driver for driving errati-cally. The driver spoke chineseand the officer had the man speakinto the App on his phone. Afterthe App translated the language,the officer found the chinese manwas having issues with his dia-betes,” shared Poste.

Building permits were next onthe agenda. Cactus Cafe andLounge owner Jim Coats waspresent. Coats informed of theplans to tear down the old photostation to make room for a beergarden. They have bids from threecontractors, and Coats will acceptthe contractor who can get theconstruction done the fastest.Coats will send a copy of his for-mal building permit with blueprints. The plan for now is just tostrictly demolish the old photobuilding and cement the ground...Continued on page 2

Correction

Letter to the EditorDear Editor,I want to let people of South

Dakota know that when you growolder and you can not live aloneanymore by yourself, the law saysthat the State has the right to tellyou that you have to go into anursing home or assistant livingcenter. I questioned the Governorabout this law when he was inMilbank. His reply was the Statealso had the right to have yourdriver’s license revoked whenyour driving isn’t what it shouldbe for your own safety. I do agreewith taking a driver’s licenseaway from an individual for theirsafety and the safety of others.What I don’t agree with is thatyou don’t have the “right” tochoose where you can live. If youare in a safe enviroment, goodfood provided, and excellent caregiven to you, the State shouldn’thave that right to say “you can’tlive there”.

You need to be in a nursinghome. I know this is how the lawstates now because I have a homein Milbank called Rita’s HomeCare. I have three residents that

the State Board of Health saythat they have to leave my homeand they have to go into the nurs-ing home. If the families can’t finda placement for their loved ones,they will place their family mem-bers wherever they can get themin to. This is so wrong. My hus-band served 22 and a half yearsin the military for “what”? Ithought it was for our freedomand the right to choose. Does thismean that when our family mem-bers or ourselves get to a pointwhere we can’t stay home by our-selves anymore, do we as Ameri-cans loose that right of choice towhere we want to live? I feel thatthe right of choice should be up tothe individual and their familymembers. We do not have thatright as the law exists in theState of South Dakota today.

What I am asking for is thatevery military member and theirfamilies write to their state repre-sentatives, governor, and the at-torney general to get this lawchanged. I’m also asking anyonethat has an older family memberor getting over age 65 to please

write in to the state and persuaderepresentatives to get this lawchanged.

One of the residents that livedwith me was a Marine. My hus-band was in the Army. Anotherman here served in the Navy dur-ing WWII. Please don’t tell methat they were fighting for noth-ing. I believe they were fightingfor the rights of every Americanno matter what their age. I mightlose my business and my homefighting the State for this right,but if I lose everything, I will fightfor the elderly to have their rightof choice.

Please show your support. Thislaw can affect everyone. It needsto be changed! Please take timeout of your busy schedule andcontact the state and your repre-sentatives. The Capital’s Addressat Pierre is 615 East FourthStreet; Pierre, S.D. 57501-1700.

Thanks,/S/ Rita Wellnitz, owner of Rita’sHome Care, Milbank, S.D.

Considerations for Hay Production in a Wet YearWe have seen weather condi-

tions change in a very short pe-riod of time. At the beginning ofMay, many areas across SouthDakota were concerned aboutdrought, but things have turnedaround, specifically on the west-ern side of the state and themonths of May and June haveprovided exceptional amounts ofrainfall. This rainfall has been ablessing to many, but is providingsome challenges of it’s own. Dueto the rainfall, hay is ready forcutting and producers are readyto get in the hayfield, but the fre-quent thunderstorms are pre-venting it from happening. As aresult, management decisionswill need to be made on how tohandle the situation with hayproduction this year.

Due to wet soil conditions, itwill take multiple days of hottemperatures to dry things outenough to get equipment acrossthe fields without getting stuck orcreating ruts, but the next chal-lenge once the hay is on theground is getting it dried down. If

the current weather pattern con-tinues, the chance of that haybeing rained on is very high, hav-ing a negative impact on quality.One option that I have been visit-ing with producers who are con-cerned about this very problem isto put up baleage.

The reason that baleage may bea necessity for some producersthis year, is that the hay is baledand wrapped in plastic at 40 to 60percent moisture, so you won’thave to be as dependent on dryweather for haying. One consider-ation is that the additional waterin the hay is going to make itheavier than normal, so plan onsmaller bales or ensure yourequipment can handle the addedweight.

The second consideration isthat baleage takes additionalequipment, but it will likely beworth the added expense due tothe feed value as well as less moldgrowth in the feed in the anaero-bic environment. Take the time topencil out the economics ofbaleage before purchasing a newpiece of equipment. There are twomain methods for creating

baleage, individual bales and in-line. Both systems work and itmay be a matter of what equip-ment is available for either rentor purchase. The individual sys-tem is just what it sounds like.Each bale is individually wrappedwith plastic to prevent air fromreaching the bale. The in-line sys-tem puts the bales in one longplastic bag. It is important thatthese bales are pushed up tightagainst each other to preventspoilage.

The other concern specific tohaying and moisture this year, isgetting the sweet clover to drydown properly. If sweet clover haymolds and is fed to pregnant fe-males, it can cause abortions. Beaware of the added challenge thisyear and take all necessary pre-cautions when feeding sweetclover hay this fall and winter.

By Dr. Joe LytleI came home from college one

summer and Jack Trople offeredme a job on a railroad extra gang.We were to raise the track, put-ting 10 inches of gravel under it,replacing broken and rotted tiesand replacing the 60 pound railwith a 100 pound rail.

The crew was made up of 12 or14 college age kids. This particu-lar summer, June was exception-ally hot, with temperatures over100 degrees. We started worksouth of Wasta along the shalebanks where the track goes southtoward Birdsall Sand pit. With thetemperature over 100 degrees andthe sun beating down on the shalebanks and rail, the temperaturerose to over 120 degrees where wewere working.

Most of the young men werestripped to the waist and didn’twear any hats. Shortly they weresick from the heat and unable towork. I wore a long sleeved shirt,a big straw hat and about everytwenty minutes I would head forthe water cooler for a drink andthen I would soak my clothingwith water. After three days ofwork, I was the only one left fromthe extra gang.

With the extra gang diminished,a new plan of attack was designed.A crew of six men would raise thetrack and put in new ties. The newrail would be put on later by an-other crew.

I was paired with Oscar Pruessas the team to jack up the track.We each had an eighty pound jackand a twenty pound bar. The barwas used as a handle for the jackand also as a pry bar to align thetracks. Oscar was 45 to 50 yearsold and no way was he going to leta young college kid out work him.Now Oscar had some advantagesover me. One, he was experiencedand two, he was shorter than I

was so he could slide the jackalong the rail. Of course me, beinga young college athlete, I wasn’tgoing to let an old man outworkme. I came home at night with mybutt dragging my tracks out andOscar would go for a beer.

Jack Trople said that we werethe best jack crew that he everhad. Just shows what a little com-petition will do. Oscar was thetype of guy who would like tocatch you not thinking. Then hewould have fun razzing you. Oscaralways had a smile on his face. Hemade what could have been a mis-erable job, a fun job. From Oscar,I learned that by giving 110 per-cent in effort, you made your job50 percent easier and work wasfun. This is a philosophy that Ihave carried with me through life.With that type of work ethic, therewas always a job. I remainedfriends with Oscar for a lifetime. Ioften stopped to see him when Ivisited my Mom in Wasta.

I remember one humorous inci-dent that happened to Oscar.There was a cow out on the rightof way and we were trying to gether off so she wouldn’t get hit bythe passenger train. Oscar startedwalking across the bridge to get infront of her. The passenger trainwas sitting in Wasta and beforeOscar got across the bridge, thepassenger train came. Oscar hadto get off of the bridge onto a sideoff (a place built in the bridge foremergencies such as this). Whenthe train was sitting in Wasta, thepassengers used the bathroom.The policy was to dump the hold-ing tank after leaving town. NowOscar is trapped on the off rampand here comes the train. Thecoachman pulled the plug on theholding tank just as they werepassing over Oscar. That was onetime that Oscar probably thoughtof railroading as a shitty job.

Needless to say Oscar had tomake a trip back to town for ashower and a change of clothes.

Jack Trople was the premiertrack foreman in the area. Jackcould line a track by accident bet-ter than the laser liners they havetoday and in a fraction of the time.

When you were lining trackwith Jack, he had his own specialvocabulary. A routine movement ofthe track would be described by“just give her a hair”. If there wasa large movement needed, it was“give her a big red one”. If just aminor movement was needed, itwas “give her a blond one”. As I re-call, there was another expletivethat was used with these descrip-tions, but it wouldn’t be politicallycorrect to use it here.

Jack wasn’t the type of individ-ual who was satisfied to just beaverage. (Average is appropriatelydefined as “the best of the worst”or “the worst of the best”.) Jack be-lieved that with a little extra ef-fort, you could be the very best.This lesson from Jack, I have car-ried throughout my life.

Jack had a unique way of lettingyou know if you weren’t quite upto par. Many years after I rail-roaded with Jack, there was anopen house at his home to cele-brate his and Katrina’s 60th wed-ding anniversary. I had plannedon going, but got delayed. Theopen house was from 2:00 p.m. to5:00 p.m. When I finally got toWasta, I stopped by Jack and Ka-trina’s home to wish them aHappy Anniversary. I asked Jackhow many people had shown upand he said 64 or pretty near 65,you would be number 65.

You might say that Jack andOscar were just a couple of rail-road hands. To me, however, theywere mentors, motivators andabove all - they were friends.

Railroading with Jack and Oscar

Sandwich WrapsHave you been hearing about

“wraps” but aren’t sure what theyare? Just to clarify, wraps aren’tabout wrapping a gift or rappinga song. And they don’t have any-thing to do with wrapping an ex-tension cord. In the context offood, wraps are a type of sand-wich using a soft tortilla around afilling of meats, vegetables andcheeses. There are numerous, de-licious and healthy wrap combi-nations that are fantastic forbreakfast, snack, dinner ordessert.

The consistent ingredient whenmaking wraps is tortillas. They’reavailable in whole-wheat, white,corn flour and sometimes flavorslike pesto. They can be found inseveral sizes; one medium tortillahas about 58 calories. You can

find tortillas in the bread aisle,refrigerated or frozen food sec-tions of most grocery stores. Planto use them within a week to 10days when stored in the refriger-ator or freeze them.

During busy days of summer,families may want to make wrapsahead at home and slip them intobaggies to transport in thermalbags or coolers. The University ofMinnesota Extension has a help-ful handout called “How to WrapSandwiches” (http://bit.ly/1LfU-geN). Wrapping tips include fill-ing ideas and different ways tofold them.

A bonus for making wraps isthat you can use whatever ingre-dients you have on hand in yourrefrigerator or pantry. You canbring new life to leftover meatsand vegetables by turning them

into sandwich wraps. Chop orshred tomatoes, carrots, lettuce,cucumbers, peppers, onions, avo-cado, or spinach; just to mentiona few. Proteins can include (butaren’t limited to) cooked meatstrips, tuna, refried beans, andscrambled or boiled eggs. Moistenthe wrap ingredients with 1-2 ta-blespoons of salsa, low-fat mayon-naise, your favorite salad dress-ing, guacamole or hummus.

Serve wraps for last minutemeals, as a creative way to feedfriends and family or for a quicksnack or lunch on the go.

The offender is held account-able through regular appearancesbefore the DUI Court Judge, dailyPBT testing and random drugtesting, substance abuse counsel-ing, mental health counseling, be-havior modification based on in-centives and sanctions, and in-tense community supervision bythe DUI Court Team. “The mis-sion of the Pennington CountyDUI Court Program is to enhancepublic safety by ensuring account-ability through supervision, treat-

ment and the support of commu-nity partnerships by reformingsubstance abuse offenders to soberlaw-abiding citizens.” The pro-gram is challenging and requiresaccountability on behalf of theparticipants. One of the manygoals of DUI Court is for partici-pants to gain self-esteem and self-motivation in order to live an alco-hol free lifestyle. Since it’s origina-tion in 2013, this graduation willmark the second for the program.

The South Dakota Beef Indus-try Council (SDBIC) board of di-rectors met on June 14 and 15 inPierre, S.D. to discuss current andupcoming checkoff projects.

"The Promotion committee in-troduced Kathryn Henning fromthe South Dakota State FairFoundation and a Q&A segmenttook place about an educationaldisplay at the newly-formed ex-hibit hall at the fairgrounds inHuron," said Karla Pazour,SDBIC president. "The SDBICwill go forward with a $30,000commitment for a Beef IndustryDisplay Wall. In addition, SDBICdirectors Kari Sanders, of Oral,and Laurie Johnson, of SouthShore, reported on their recenttrip to Denver where they at-tended the New Director Orienta-tion Meeting."

Wayne Tupper, of Kimball, andJohn Symens, of Amherst, also re-ported on the United States MeatExport Federation Meeting, whichthey recently attended in San An-tonio, Texas.

Beef council meets to discuss checkoff projects

Tupper shared with the direc-tors that only 4 percent of theworld population lives in theUnited States; meanwhile, theglobal middle class populationwas at 2 billion in 2012 and is ex-pected to grow to 4.9 billion in2030."

These numbers indicate a grow-ing number of people around theworld who will have more dispos-able income to spend on groceries- including protein-packed beef.According to Symens, the U.S.ranks fourth in volume of beef ex-ports behind Brazil, India andAustralia, and currently, Mexico isstill the largest export market forthe U.S.

"In other news, Dr. Joe Cassady,South Dakota State University(SDSU) Animal Science Depart-ment head, spoke with the Re-search Committee about proce-dures for presenting potential re-search projects for funding," saidPazour.

Research funded by the beefcheckoff is focused on beef quality,

safety, nutritional value, new beefproduct development and innova-tive beef marketing to consumers.

In addition to staff membersproviding financials and programupdates, in new business, theSouth Dakota Dairy Producers ap-proached the SDBIC board to be-come an approved member organ-ization.

The 2015 Cattle Industry Sum-mer Conference is scheduled forJuly 15 through the 18 in Denver,Colo., and the next SDBIC meet-ing is scheduled for Sept. 25 and26 in Brookings, S.D. At this an-nual meeting, the Prime Promoterrecipients will be announced andthe budget for the upcoming fiscalyear will be approved. The annualmeeting is held in conjunctionwith SDSU's Beef Bowl.

Agriculture Secretary Tom Vil-sack announced that USDA is in-vesting more than $6.7 million in544 renewable energy and energyefficiency projects nationwide. InSouth Dakota, 15 projects will re-ceive a total of $144,000.

“These grants will help farmers,ranchers and small business own-ers use more renewable energy,which cuts carbon pollution, re-duces our dependence on foreignoil, saves businesses money ontheir energy bills and createsAmerican jobs,” Vilsack said. “Allof these are crucial components todeveloping healthier, more eco-nomically vibrant rural communi-ties.”

REAP was created by the 2002Farm Bill and was reauthorizedby the 2014 Farm Bill. REAPfunding has helped farmers ex-pand renewable energy use in re-cent years. The new Census of

USDA $144,000 invested in 15 S.D.

Projects, including one from Wall

Agriculture shows the number offarms utilizing renewable energyproduction has doubled in the lastfive years.

Since 2009, USDA has awarded$545 million to support more than8,800 REAP projects nationwide.This includes $361 million ingrants and loans for almost 2,900renewable energy systems. Forthe remaining 5,900 projects,USDA provided $184 million tohelp rural small businesses andagricultural producers make en-ergy efficiency improvements suchas lighting; heating, ventilationand cooling; irrigation; insulationand motor replacements. Whenfully operational, these projectsare estimated to generate andsave 7.3 billion kilowatt hours ofelectricity annually – enough topower more than 660,000 homesfor a year.

Eligible agricultural producersand rural small businesses mayuse REAP funds to make energyefficiency improvements or installrenewable energy systems, includ-ing solar, wind, renewable bio-mass (including anaerobic di-gesters), small hydroelectric,ocean energy, hydrogen and geot-hermal.

One successful recipient inSouth Dakota includes Rosebell,Inc. based in Wall and wasawarded $19,991 to replace thelighting and coolers in the grocerystore, project and will reduce en-ergy usage by 74 percent.

Leg·a·cy (leg'a-se) 1. Money orproperty bequeathed to anotherby will; 2. Something handeddown from an ancestor or a prede-cessor or from the past: a legacy ofreligious freedom. As a father, I will someday leavea legacy for my children, andevery day, as I live my life, I ambuilding that legacy. I know a lotof people tend to think in terms ofleaving their children money orproperty, but I have determinedthat the legacy I most want toleave my children is not one of ma-terial wealth, characterized bychasing the almighty dollar. Iwant to leave them somethingthat will last forever. The legacy-that is, what I wantmy children to be able to look backon and draw strength from after Iam gone-is based on the principlesI have tried to live by. Principlessuch as: Faith in God and walkingand talking daily with Jesus de-veloping a personal relationshipwith Him. Loving others as youlove yourself. Enjoying life to thefullest. Finding joy in all things-especially the little things. Countyour blessings often, and don't for-get to express gratitude to whomit is due. Life is full of situationsyou can't control, but you can al-ways choose to control your atti-tude.

As a father, I have found thatbuilding the kind of legacy I hopeto leave, is not easy. In fact, I havestrayed many times from my orig-inal goals and objectives in thisarea. Still, because I know howimportant it is for me to keepworking on my legacy, I will con-tinue to persevere, fine tuning asI make my way through this life. Fathers, we are all building alegacy for those who will follow us.Sadly, the legacy of many will notbe a very positive one, for the sim-

ple fact that they have never eventhought about it. What kind oflegacy are you planning on leavingfor your children and the genera-tions to follow? It is never too lateto begin thinking, planning, andimplementing your strategies forleaving a strong and healthylegacy for your children, and evenfor your children's children. (Special side note to my childrenand grand children: As part of mylegacy I hope to leave you with a"little" pocket change and someproperty too. But, I do plan on liv-ing it up pretty good before I amgone!)

Legacy from a

Father’s Perspective

WASTA WONDERING with abig wonder! The storm Fridaynight that blew through Wasta(no pun intended) and hit thenorth neighbors and left seriousdamage in it’s wake. From our back porch vantagepoint, we watched an amazing“light show” from the northwestsky moving east. It was beautiful!A sight to behold as only naturecan create. As the lightning be-came more pronounced the windbecame serious and we went in-side! The view on the front porchwas less dramatic but two giantclouds captured our attention asthey were quite unusual. About then, the lights went out,somewhere around ten o’clock.Fortunately our trusty little flashlights were at hand so off we wentto bed. Little did we know what ourfriends and neighbors to the

north were about to face. A telephone call from Mel An-derson, Saturday, asking how wewere doing in Wasta relayed thedevastation that had occurredthrough out the storm’s path. As Mel spoke of destruction andlosses, I could hear that he wasvery focused on the gratitude tothose neighbors who hastened tohis and Dorothy’s place to helpout when each had their own bur-den to handle. Yes, it truly is once again, aboutgood neighbors, good people,quick to respond to other’s withtroubles. How blessed we are. In Wasta, the only major dam-age was done to the Dixie Dinerwhere the roof was blown off.Maybe that is where the worst ofthe storm turned left. No one wasinjured in this unfortunate occur-rence in Wasta and Mel didn’tmention injuries to anyone in hisneck of the woods. We are so sorry for everyone’s

losses caused by this unusualstorm. All of this moisture insome areas and other parts stilldesperate for even a fraction ofthe amount we have seen. Andjust now clouds seem to be drift-ing from the west. We will have lots to visit aboutafter lunch in the park in Wasta,July 4th. It isn’t creeping up onus, the days are flying by at ascary speed! See you all SOON in Wasta. •Parade 11:30 a.m. •Lunch after parade •Games after lunch •Talent Show at 6:00 p.m. We need your talent — every-one has a talent — a skit, a poem,a song, a dance, a reading of theDeclaration of Independence.YOU CHOOSE — WE APPRECI-ATE.

Al says…By Al Strandell(July 19, 1979)

About 1906 when we lived onmy dad’s homestead on DeepCreek about 10 miles south ofPedro, there were many beaverdams on the creek. In the fall, theducks would come down from thenorth and stay on the beaverdams. We were very poor at thetime and my dad said, “You boys,will have to bring in some of thefood.” Dad had an old woodendecoy goose. One day dadstarted carving it from underneathuntil it would fit down on my headand he made two holes for myeyes to see out. I would go out inthe water, just the goose stickingout of the water and when theducks would come close my dadsaid to reach up and get them bythe feet, and dad said don’t comeout of the water until you havetwo or three ducks in each handand that’s how we put meat onthe table.

By Del BartelsThe ninth annual Philip Invita-

tional Matched Bronc Ride, Fri-day, June 19, again drew a crowdat least as large as previous yearsand again drew some of the topnames in rodeo saddle bronc rid-ing, according to event organizerBranden West.

“This year marks the ninth con-cecutive successful year of thePhilip Invitational Matched BroncRide,” said West. “The enormousturnout in fan support shows thisis the premier event in westernSouth Dakota and it's success isdependent upon our ability to getthe best horses and the best cow-boys which is only made possibleby the continued support of all ofour generous sponsors, the incred-ibly loyal fans and the countlesshours of unlimited behind thescene volunteers who join togetherto make this event possible. Nextyear will be our 10th annual broncmatch, and baby, you ain't seennothing yet!”

The Philip roping arena was thesite of 30 top cowboys, many in theProfessional Rodeo Cowboys Asso-ciation (PRCA), trying to survivetwo progressive rounds of broncriding to take top winnings. Over45 broncs entertained the audi-ence – 30 rides in the first round,and ending with eight rides in theCowBos short round, plus anyrerides granted to the saddlebronc riding cowboys.

Only eight cowboys did notmake their eight seconds in thefirst round. The other 22 earnedhigh points, ranging from the low-est of 67 to the winning 79.Records show that throughout itsnine year history, the matchedbronc ride in Philip has had cow-boys lose with scores that couldoften be winning scores in most

other saddle bronc riding contests.A tree-breaking downpour hit

only minutes after the bronc rideconcluded. West said, “The thing Iget a kick out of, by the grace ofGod, we get to have a good show,before it starts to pour.”

The 30 cowboys may have usedrerides, but started out on thebroncs listed below. The reridehorses included Castus, Adam’sPet, Surprise Mountain, SwaggerJacked, Brunsoned and Rhubarb.

In the first round Dawson Jan-dreau, Kennebec, roared to firstplace honors on top of the broncnamed Mouse for a judge-tabu-lated score of 79. Only one pointbehind for second place was J.J.Elshere, Hereford, who whaledaway on Roadhouse Blues. Forthird place there was a three-waytie with 77 points each. TeaghenSchuleke, Newell, flew SpottedRapid, Cole Elshere, Faith, bene-fited from his Hidden Assets, andJeremy Meeks, Alzada, Mont.,buddied up with Captain Jack.

A score of 76 went to two riders,Colton Miller, Riverton, Wyo.,kept the beat with Stomp OutLoud, and Jake Costello, Newell,partied hardy with Catalina WineMixer. Barely making the cut intothe top eight riders to continue inthe short round, Rollie Nelson sawa hair-splitting score of 75 withOle One Eye.

Other bronc riders did not makethe cut to the short round, but stillstayed on the full eight seconds forbraggable scores. Jesse Bail,Camp Crook, survived the eveningon Morning After with a score of74. A score of 73 went to two indi-vidual riders, Travis Nelson,Philip, cashed in with BanditoGold, and Kash Deal, Red Scaf-fold, stayed high and dry onMuddy Water.

Ryan Elshere, Elm Springs,stayed calm in the saddle to earna score of 72 on Thrill Seeker. Fivecowboys tied with scores of 71, JeffWillert, Belvidere, stayedgrounded on Big Sky, JamieWillert, Kadoka, had a devil of atime on Borrowed Angel, LyleWelling, Crawford, Neb., was akinto Uncle Buck, and Chad Ferley,Oelrichs, pitted his riding skillsagainst Stroke of Luck and Del-bert “Shorty” Garrett, Dupree,danced for eight seconds on Click-ing Heels.

Not to be outdone by his bronc,Boogers Pet, cowboy Steven Dent,Mullen, Neb., just would not slipoff and scored 70 points. Doingmore than just trying for his scoreof 70, Bryce Miller, Buffalo, stayedon Mama Tried.

Louie Brunson, Interior, earned69 points while chewing away atRedman. Also not able to see anybrighter score than a 69, TayteClark, Meadow, got through hiseight seconds on top of DarkGhost. Finishing up this year’spack of scoring cowboys, JaceBlackwell, Rapid City, climbed upon Baldy, for a score of 67.

The horses waiting to challengethe eight remaining cowboys in-cluded Duck Butter, Wiggle Worm,Paint Chip, Strokers Ace, CowboyCasino, Pants on Fire, Big Forkand Indian Style.

The CowBos short round sawonly one cowboy out of the eightdismounted, Meeks. Wilson rodefor a score of 72. Raising the barfar higher, Costello earned a 77. C.Elshere raised everything to a au-diance-appealing height with an80. Schuelke and Miller bothtopped that, though barely, byeach scoring an 81. Jumping upthe score to what normally is notbeaten, Jandreau tried to win asecond round during the evening,this time with an 83. Still, it wasnot quite good enough.

Bragging rights, the winningsand the title of winner of the 2015Philip Invitational Matched BroncRide went to J. Elshere when heearned a saddle bronc score of 84.

FOCUS ON THE FAMILYwith Dr. JamesDobson

Dr. Dobson Answersyour Questions

QUESTION: How can wemake our grown child’s move backhome a smooth and easy transi-tion? Just as we were looking for-ward to the freedom of an “emptynest,” our daughter decided thatshe needs to come back and “gether life together” before “movingon to the next step.” The problemis that we don’t know exactlywhat this means, and as a resultwe have no idea how long she’splanning to stay. Do you have anyadvice for us? ANSWER: One thing that willhelp is to recognize that you'renot alone. The latest census fig-ures indicate that more than 80million so-called "empty nesters"now find themselves with at leastone grown child living at home.Some culture-watchers have evenstarted calling these adult chil-dren "the boomerang generation."Whatever you label them, they'rereturning in record numbers.Some come back hoping to savemoney for school. Others returnso they can take time to search forthe perfect job. Still others mayhave personal problems; theyneed a refuge. It sounds like you and yourspouse are about to find out first-hand what the "boomerang" phe-nomenon is all about. As you stepinto this new and unfamiliarphase in your parenting career,just remember that there isn'tnecessarily anything "wrong" or"incorrect" or "abnormal" aboutaccepting a previously "launched"child back into your home. Such adevelopment might have been un-thinkable in past generations, butnowadays it's an increasinglycommon feature of a shifting cul-tural landscape. You can takecomfort in the thought that it'sonly a temporary situation. Youcan also be thankful that yourdaughter likes you enough towant to come back. She obviouslythinks of home as a safe, accept-ing place to land while she re-groups, and that's a positivething. Your dream of an emptynest can wait a bit longer. In the meantime, here are somepractical measures you can imple-ment to minimize conflict andmaximize the opportunity tostrengthen family bonds duringthe time you and your daughterhave together. 1. Start by discussing yourterms. Before your daughtermoves in, have a family pow-wowto discuss mutual expectationsand establish house rules. Do thisas early as possible to preventmisunderstandings and frictionlater on. If you don't approve ofovernight guests, blaring stereos,bad language, questionable reli-gious practices, the use of drugsor alcohol, etc., then clarify yourstandards up front. You mighteven want to spell them out in abrief "contract." Have yourdaughter indicate, by her signa-ture, that she agrees to yourterms. Make sure that the con-tract specifies consequences forinfractions of the rules. At thesame time, don't forget that theserules should be different than theones you put in place when yourchild was a minor. For example,curfews aren't appropriate for an

adult. As long as your grown childacts responsibly (holding a job,contributing financially or help-ing with meal preparation andhousehold chores), she deservesthe same liberty to come and goas any adult. Respect her per-sonal boundaries and preferences. 2. Don't be afraid to ask ques-tions during the course of thisconversation. Be frank andstraightforward. How long doesyour daughter envision stayingwith you? What would you bothconsider reasonable rent? If rentis not an issue, exactly how willshe contribute to the cost of foodand household expenses? Whatchores will she be expected tocarry out? 3. We realize, of course, thatsome situations are more compli-cated. You didn't mention anyspecific problems or concerns, sowe don't know exactly what youmight be facing in this regard.But common sense itself suggeststhat you shouldn't enable a grownchild who's merely looking toavoid adult responsibilities. Nat-urally, if your daughter is dealing

with more serious issues - for ex-ample, addictions or mental andemotional illness-then you'll prob-ably need to seek intervention orenlist the help of a Christiancounselor or mental healthagency. If, on the other hand, shejust seems a little too comfortableat home, it might be a good ideato set a move-out deadline (andstick to it). Knowing the clock isticking at the "Mom and PopHotel" may be precisely the moti-vation she needs to get seriousabout "moving on to the nextstep." 4. During the months you'll beliving together, you can maintaina healthy relationship with youradult daughter by keeping the fol-lowing tips in mind: •Trust her to make wise choices- even when she doesn't. After all,she is an adult now. •Squelch the impulse to giveadvice unless it's asked for. •Remember that communica-tion is key. Set a regular time todiscuss issues, clarify expecta-tions, or simply clear the air. Praytogether regularly. •Practice grace - everyone.Three or more adults living in onehouse is a challenge whetheryou're related or not. So give eachother some space!
