If you have taken a drive south on Highway 240 then you undoubtedly noticed the wellgroomed trees of Scott and Susan Kroells. They have used old railroad ties to frame in thefront trees and continued in the back with widely spaced rows of trees for a shelterbelt. Withrows of Cedar, Russian Olive, Lilac, Honey Locust and Ponderosa Pine the Kroells have takenmeasures to block wind and capture moisture on their land. Scott and Susan Kroells are thewinners this year of the Shelterbelt Stewardship award. They have met the criteria of: treesare at least 5 years old, 80 percent tree survival rate, relatively free of weeds, and kept freeof livestock. This is no easy task when faced with dry conditions and drifts of snow over thelifespan of trees. Many do not make it when there is inadequate care. The East PenningtonConservation District will recognize their hard work with an award presented in Novemberat the EPCD Awards Banquet.

Courage comes inmany forms. On May,2013, StacieEichinger, who isorginally from Tuc-son, Ariz., left on a3,800 mile journeyfrom Ocean Shores,Wa. to Savannah, Ga.

Not much of a trekif youre traveling byplane or even a carbut Eichinger, who is

already a world trav-eler, decided shewould do somethingdifferent on this jour-ney. She would walkthe 3,800 miles anddo it alone. Soundscrazy to most of usbut not to Eichner.

She walked intoWall on Tuesday, Au-gust 27, pushing hercanopy wheeled cartthat carries her sup-plies in heat close to100 degrees, with asmile on her face.

Eichinger, who is avolunteer memberwith Beads ofCourage, is hopingto rasie money for theorgainization whichprovides 'arts-in-medicine' supportivecare for seriously ill kids.

Eichinger said for every $10 she raises she will receive abead and is hoping to collect 3,800 beads. That means for

Walking 4 Courage strolls into Wallevery mile she haswalked she will haveraised $38,000 forthe orginzation.When she hadreached Wall shehad $13,000 in dona-tions.

Beads of Courageare given to childrenwho have beenthrough differentmedical procedures.Instead of receivinga badge of courage,

they receive a bead.

Eichinger deliversher beads in theshape of a runningshoe to hospitalswho belong to the or-ganization.

Presently, thereare 150 hospitalswho participate inBeads of Courage,Eichinger noted. Theclosest hospital shewill visiting next isin Minneapolis.From there, she willwalk over toChicago, Ill., andthen down to Savan-nah. Her journeyshould end next Feb-ruary, if the weatherallows her to con-tinue her walk.

You can follow her journey at www.beadsofcourage.org asshe walks, with courage, across America for Beads ofCourage.

out-of-towners 99 percent of the timelay up there and do their studies anddont help us.

Anderson replied we may have to re-quire them to do more then. The regu-lations will have to be changed. Shewent on to say based on the hours andthe budget the revenue wont supportthe expenses. The drivers alone wouldincrease the budget by $30,000 a year.

President Wally Hoffman relatedlooking at the numbers we are alreadyshort $20,000 in the salary budget now.We are strained financially and whereare we going to come up with another$30,000.

Board Member Jem Kjerstad said,no one had the foresight of what has

happened. The only solution is to optout and if the community turns usdown were insolvent.

Pay increases forthe local EMTs andambulance driverswas open for dis-cussion at the WallCommunity Centermeeting room onThursday, August29.

Dawn Hilgen-

kamp said, dontmess with the out-of-town peoplespay. We will bedone in a month.

Butch Kitterman asked for $4 withno money for food or run pay.

Board Member Elden Helms stated,People who started this thought aboutthe community and not filling theirpockets.

Secretary/Treasure of the Board Car-olynn Anderson told the audience wehave three different categories withthe ambulance service: the out-of-townpeople who receive $8 an hour, thelocal EMTs and the ambulance drivers.

She reasoned we have to lookat the drivers differently. They dont gothrough all the training the local EMTsdo and therefore should only receive $1an hour plus an increase in their runpay. The local EMTs pay should be in-

crease to $4 an hour.Kitterman disagreed, he said I havebeen driving for 70 some years and the

By Gv. Deis DgrdAugust has come to a close, and

though temperatures are still high, fallis almost here and students have al-ready settled back into their class-rooms.

This time of year always brings meback to when I was in school. I alwaysenjoyed school. In fact, through sev-enth grade, I was at the top of myclass. Of course, that wasnt too diffi-cult I was the only person in myclass!

Much has changed since I attendedthat one-room country school. Back

then, a gallon of gas was 40 cents, anew house cost around $25,000 andfewer people went to college about 17percent of people in the U.S. had atleast a bachelors degree. Now, thatnumber is around 28 percent.

Along with the escalating number ofpeople seeking higher education, theincreasingly competitive global econ-omy requires todays workforce to havegreater skill sets and more education.

Preparing our students for college and careersIn order to succeed, our students

need to leave high school ready for apostsecondary experience at a uni-versity, a technical institute or ashorter certificate program and, ulti-mately, the workforce.

How well are we preparing our youthin South Dakota? Recent news indi-cates we are doing pretty well.

According to the state Department ofEducation, 74 percent of our studentsare proficient in math and reading.

Also, South Dakotas ACT scoreswent up last year, and we continue tooutperform the national average

even though we have one of the highestACT participation rates in the nation.We also surpass the national averagesin each subject: English, reading, mathand science.

Still, there are areas where we canimprove. Although more of our stu-dents take the ACT and attend college,we have a higher than average collegedropout rate.

As one factor which limits success,some students enter college needing re-medial help. To overcome this problembefore college, the South Dakota De-partment of Education and Board ofRegents are working to increase collegereadiness by offering free remedialcoursework.

Students dont have to retake awhole course, but instead can focus onthe specific components of courseswhere they need some extra help.These courses are available to highschool seniors via the South DakotaVirtual School.

I am proud of the quality of educa-tion we offer here in South Dakota.

Our students do well because wehave committed teachers and parentswho take an active role in their chil-drens education.

As our world continues to change, wewill continue to work toward even bet-ter solutions to prepare our childrenfor the future.

Heres to a great school year!

Kevin Wil-son noted this is notan isolated issue,its a state issue.How do you budgetall that? Youregoing to have tothink outside thebox.

H o f f m a nasked the ambu-lance service to bemore patient. Hewould like to keepthe local EMTs anddrivers on equal

footage. Helms agreed we need to keepeveryone happy.

Anderson made a motion to pay thelocal EMTs and drivers $1 an hour andto increase their run pay to $50 whenthey are on call. The motion passedwith Kjerstad voting nay.

Anderson made another motion togive local EMTs and drivers a stippenof $5 for food. The motion passed.

Anderson gave an update on the spe-cial assessment. She is still waiting foran opinion from the attorney. If theboard doesnt hear from him in thenear future they will have to stay withthe six mills.

The next meeting will be held onThursday, September 19 at 7:00 p.m. inthe Wall Community Center meeting

room unless there is a need for a spe-cial meeting.Hoffman adjourned the meeting.

Raises approved for EMTs and drivers

Three lost hikers safely escorted

out of Badlands National Park

Park rangers received a 911 call at approximately 6 p.m. on Sunday night, repor tingthree lost hikers in the Sage Creek Wilderness Area south of Pinnacles Overlook.Members of the park's Search and Rescue (SAR) Team deployed to the PinnaclesOverlook to assess the situation and respond. Rangers could see the lost hikers andestimated that they were 1 to 1 miles south- southwest of the overlook. Rangers con-tacted the hikers by text message and learned that they had adequate food, water,and clothing for the night. For the safety of the hikers and the responding staff,rangers decided to wait until daylight to hike into the wilderness. Attempting to tra-verse the rough terrain in the dark posed unnecessary risk. Rangers remained onscene at the overlook and kept in contact with the lost party by text message throughthe night. Early Monday morning, rangers hiked through the rugged badlands terrainto the lost hikers. It took the group about one and a half hours to hike back to theroad. Everyone returned safely and there were no injuries. The lost hikers, two menand a woman all in their mid-twenties, were from Illinois and Iowa.

Members of the park's Search and Rescue Team assist three lost hikers as they climbthrough the rugged badlands.

ipation Survey conducted by theNational Federation of StateHigh School Associations (NFHS).

Based on figures from the 51NFHS-member state high schoolassociations, which includes theDistrict of Columbia, sports par-ticipation for the 2012-13 schoolyear reached an all-time high of7,713,577 participants an in-crease of 21,057 from the previousyear.

is second all-time to the 4,494,406in 2010-11.

While we recognize that manyschools are experiencing chal-lenges with funding high schoolsports programs, we are encour-aged that schools are respondingto the challenges and that moreand more students are involved inhigh school sports, said BobGardner, NFHS executive direc-tor. Playing sports within theschool setting continues to be thedesire of more than 55 percent ofstudents enrolled in our nationshigh schools.

Eight of the top 10 girls sportsregistered increases in participa-tion in 2012-13, led by competi-tive spirit squads (8,201), outdoortrack and field (4,172), and swim-ming and diving (3,536).

After four successful yearstraining new farmers on the east-ern side of the state, DakotaRural Actions Farm Beginningscourse is moving west and will beoffered in Rapid City this year.

Farm Beginnings is a farmerand rancher-led training and sup-port program that provides par-ticipants the opportunity to learnfirst-hand about low-cost, sus-tainable methods of farming and

ranching and the tools to success-fully launch a profitable enter-prise.

We are very excited to be mov-ing the Farm Beginnings courseto Rapid City so other aspiringfarmers and ranchers may begiven a chance to live out theirdreams of living off the land, saidcourse graduate and farmerAaron Johnson, who also serveson the programs steering com-mittee. Johnson is now a partnerat Johnson Farms, an organicgrain operation near Madison,S.D.

Farm Beginnings classes areheld November to March andfocus on topics such as wholefarm planning, financial andbusiness planning, marketing,and connecting with resourcesand mentors.

All classes are led by estab-lished farmers and ranchers andagricultural professionals. Thereare opportunities for students tofurther their skills by participat-ing in mentorships with localfarmers and four - six field daysare offered through Dakota Rural

Farm Beginnings class helps kickstart new operationstraining program moves to Rapid City

Actions Farmer Network in thesummer. Over 80 percent ofcourse graduates participate inthese on-farm activities after fin-ishing the course.

A limited number of scholar-ships are available to help withcourse tuition. Special funding forveterans may be available andveterans are encouraged to in-quire.

Farm Beginnings was the

launching pad we needed to getstarted, said Anne Hauglid,farmer and course graduate. Oursuccess as JHA Farms stemmedfrom our experience with theclass.

We went from zero farm incometo over $21,000 gross sales lastyear for our broiler and egg busi-ness. Were looking to increasethat this year. If it hadnt been forFarm Beginnings we wouldnt beraising chickens successfullytoday.

Farm Beginnings participantscan be of any age, do not need tocurrently own land, and comefrom wide range of experiencesand farming and ranching inter-ests.

Nearly 40 families have en-rolled in the course over the lastfour years and 83 percent of grad-uates are currently engaged infarming activities (only 30 per-cent reported involvement infarming activities before takingthe class).

Danny Dyck of Worthing, S.D.completed the course and fol-lowed up with an internship

where he gained the productionskills necessary for him and hiswife to launch their own CSA,Deep Root Gardens, which is nowin its second season of production.Said Dyck, I've found Farm Be-ginnings and the Farmer Net-work to be indispensable tools forconnecting to other local farmers,information, and hands-on skill-building workshops. I am alwayslooking to see what kind of valu-

able info the Network will provideme with next.

Prospective participants shouldcontact Dakota Rural Action at605-697-5204 or email ProgramCoordinator Heidi Kolbeck-Urlacher at [email protected].

Lloyd & Margee WilleyThis morning it was necessary

to check last weeks doings justto be sure only ONE week hadflashed by.

Many of you seem to be in thesame boat and another month hasseemed to disappear.

Wasnt it so enjoyable to have asmall respite from the heat? Asthe days counted down to Satur-day the mantra, I can hold on forjust 4-3-2-1 more day/days with-out whining! It felt so good out-side, going inside became a pun-ishment! Its a curious thing, themorning thank yous for the dayare more fervent when the morn-ing is 50 at 6:00 rather thatn 70!One of lifes secrets to share dont look at the thermometerwhen you know already the daywill be hotter/colder than iscomfy.

So, all this blathering in an at-tempt to get my mind workingwith last weeks news.

Thanks to all of you who havecontinued to support and partici-pate in Wasta Wildcats fundrais-ers.

We invite you to come, to votefor your favorite chili, enjoy someold songs in Gay Hadlocks sing-a-long and finish the evening withice cream sundaes. How can youresist?

We will have the A.C. to keep uscool!I often think of Babe Bathel,

when planning Wasta eventswould have many occasions tosay, It will work out. It will alljust work fine.

And speaking of Bathels, MaryLewis and Dorothy Bathel wentto see Carl Humphrey at his newhome at the Silver Leaf in Philip.

Mary reports that Carl looksvery well and seems to enjoy hisnew home.

Hopefully, Wasta will have newgood neighbors moving into thehome where Carl and Anna Leelived since 1997, and were goodWasta neighbors.

Faye Bryan offered a trip to theriver in her little buggy and alongthe way we spied really bigdragon flies. Faye called themTen spot dragon flies. They were

as large as small birds and wereout in great number. Thanks,Faye.

The squirrels keep many of usentertained in Wasta. MarilynKeysers favorite view from her

front window is that of bird feederthat A St. squirrels havemostely taken over. One fellownot only jumps to the base of thefeeder but hangs on with his backfeet to allow to lower his body toeat the seeds without letting goand then lifts himself upright torepeat the process.

Barb Crawford has visitingsquirrels named and also enjoysthe entertainment.

Saturday, we had a surprisefrom Selina (McGriff) Gasselingand husband Jack. they had beenin Wicksville at the Venhuizensauction. Jack appreciates vintagetractors and wanted to check outan interesting oldie.

FINANCIAL FOCUSCan "ExCESS"

RETIREMEnT DoLLaRSHELP YouR

GRanDCHILDREn?Richard Wahlstrom

www.edwardjones.comNational Grandparents Day is

observed on Sept. 8. And althoughthis Day is not as widely knownas Mothers Day or Father s Day, itdoes remind us of the importance

of grandparents. If youre a grand-parent yourself, you may be think-ing of ways to help your grandchil-dren on their journey through life.One of the greatest gifts you cangive them may be financial supportfor their college education andone way you can help provide thissupport could be found in the dis-tributions you receive from yourretirement accounts.

To understand how this tech-nique might work, youll need to befamiliar with the required mini-mum distribution (RMD) rulesgoverning various retirement ac-counts. Actually, theyre prettystraightforward: Once you turn70, youll generally have to starttaking withdrawals from your tra-ditional IRA and your 401(k) orother employer-sponsored retire-ment plan such as a 457(b) plan,if you work for a state or local gov-ernment, or a 403(b) plan, if youwork for an educational institu-tions or nonprofit group. (If youhave a Roth IRA, you are not re-quired to take withdrawals at anyage.)

Your required minimum distri-bution is calculated by dividing theprior Dec. 31 balance of your re-tirement account by a life ex-pectancy factor published by theInternal Revenue Service. As theword minimum suggests, you cantake out more than this amount,but not less.

You can use the money you with-draw for any purpose you choose.It may be that you need all of it tohelp support your retirementlifestyle. But if you have enoughmoney coming in from other

sources such as Social Securityand any investments held outsideyour retirement accounts youmay find that you dont really needto use every dollar from yourRMDs. And if thats the situation,you might want to devote some ofthis money to a college fund foryour grandchildren.

Or you could simply give thefunds to your grandchildrens par-

ents and let them decide how bestto employ it for college. But you dohave other options. For example,you could establish a 529 plan andname your grandchildren as bene-ficiaries.

With a 529 plan, any potentialearnings accumulate tax free, pro-vided they are used for qualifiedhigher education expenses. (Keepin mind, though, that 529 plan dis-tributions not used for qualified ex-penses may be subject to federaland state income tax and a 10%IRS penalty.) Furthermore, your529 plan contributions may be de-ductible from your state taxes ifyou participate in your homestates plan. However, 529 plansvary, so check with your tax advi-sor regarding deductibility.

In all likelihood, youll be able tocontribute as much as you want toa 529 plan, because the lifetimecontribution limits are generous

although these limits vary bystate. Plus, a 529 plan is flexible: Ifyour grandchild decides against aneligible college or vocational school,you can generally transfer the un-used funds to an eligible familymember.

A 529 plan is not the only collegesavings vehicle available to helpyour grandchildren; for other pos-sibilities, you may want to consultwith your financial advisor.

In any case, once you start tak-ing your RMDs from your retire-ment accounts, think about put-ting any excess amounts to workfor your grandchildrens college ed-

ucation. Your generosity could pro-vide benefits for a lifetime.

Boxes and lumber marked J.D.Hilger, Pierre, east of Fort Pierrewere unloaded from a river boatonto the east bank of the MissouriRiver in May of 1880. JohnHilger, his brother Anson andAnsons wife and son were wait-ing to retrieve the items.

That was the explanationAnson Hilger gave for how henamed Pierre, according toHarold H. Schulers A BridgeApart.

Pioneer merchants such asHilger, explorers, military offi-cers, settlers, railroad officialsand more have all left their markon South Dakota by the namesthey gave to its lakes, towns andmountains.

In 1838, 2nd Lt. John C. Fr-mont accompanied French-bornnaturalist Joseph N. Nicollet asNicollet mapped the area betweenthe Upper Mississippi and Mis-souri rivers. Frmont charted sev-eral lakes in northeastern SouthDakota.

He named Lake Benton afterhis future father-in-law and pow-erful U.S. Sen. Thomas Hart Ben-ton; Lake Preston after SouthCarolina Sen. William CampbellPreston; and Lake Poinsett afterhis friend and benefactor JoelPoinsett. Frmont christened an-other lake Abert after his supe-

rior, U.S. Army Col. J.J. Abert.This body of water later became

known as Lake Albert.When Gen. George Armstrong

Custer and the 7th Cavalry en-tered the Black Hills in 1874,they were journeying into a placeunknown to non-Indians. Enroute from Fort Abraham Lincolnnear present-day Mandan, N.D.,to the Black Hills, Indian scoutsled expedition members to a cavethat was an important spiritualplace to them.

Custer named the cave afterCapt. William A. Ludlow, the chiefengineer for the Department ofDakota. Custer also named astream in what is now Penning-ton County Castle Creek becausethe high cliffs between which itflows reminded him of castles. Hepresumably conferred the nameGold Run upon a small tributaryof Castle Creek.

While standing on the most el-evated portion of the Black Hills,Ludlow named two prominentpeaks for Custer and Gen. AlfredTerry.

The South Dakota name game: who named what

Ludlow and Nicolett both re-tained many place names givenby American Indians when mak-ing maps.

The town of Wasta received itsname when state historian DoaneRobinson selected the Lakotaword for good for the Penning-ton County community. Robinsonalso named the town of Tolstoy inhonor of the Russian writer.

Charles Prior worked in the

Minneapolis office of the Chicago,Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad,deciding where new railroadtracks would go and where townswould be located along the rail-road. He is said to have named acommunity in Brown County Ab-erdeen because his boss, Alexan-der Mitchell, came from Ab-erdeen, Scotland. Prior namedanother town site Virgil due to hisadmiration of the Greek poet. Henamed Alpena for a town inMichigan, Ipswich for his ownbirthplace in England, Bath andBristol for cities in England andWoonsocket for a town in RhodeIsland. He also named Wilmot,probably after Judge Wilmot W.Brookings. A railway officialnamed the town of Bradley out ofgratitude to E.R. Bradley, whosaved his life when Bradley inter-vened in a fight between the offi-

cial and laborers. Other railroadofficials named Alcester, Amherst,Canistota, Junius, Java, Huron,Hitchcock, Renner, Trent, Wor-thing, Frederick, Mystic, Orientand other towns.

Settlers sometimes made them-selves feel more at home bynaming their new town after theone they had left. Edward Tiltonand other settlers named Hart-ford for their home town in Con-necticut. Czech settlers namedTabor for a town in Bohemia.

William Van Epps named Madi-son because the nearby lakes re-minded him of the Wisconsin city.

Other settlers honored people

by naming a place after them. Dr.O. Richmond named Tyndall forJohn Tyndall, a British scientist.

Lily was named by the townsfirst postmaster, Ross Parks, afterhis sister, Lily. Holabird owes itsname to Henry Wicker, superin-tendent of the North WesternRailroad. He gave his brides fam-ily name to the new town.

As for the states most well-known geographic feature, onestory goes that an eastern attor-ney was in the Black Hills in theearly 1880s when he asked hisguide the name of a granite peak.

The guide, William Challis,said that the mountain did nothave a name before, but wouldnow bear the lawyers name. An-other story states that the attor-ney joked that he had visited theBlack Hills so many times that hehad earned the right to have the

mountain named after him.The attorneys name was

Charles Rushmore, and whateverthe story, the United States Boardof Geographic Names officiallyrecognized the name MountRushmore in 1930.

Rushmores name, like that ofJohn Tyndall, Thomas Hart Ben-ton and so many others, lives onin South Dakotas geographicnames.

In 2009, the South Dakota Leg-islature created the S.D. Board onGeographic Names to replace cer-tain geographic place names con-sidered offensive.

The board has established apublic process and works with theU.S. Board on GeographicNames. For more information, seewww.sdbgn.sd.gov.

Pictured is Terry Peak circa 1911. The peak was named in 1874 byCapt. William A. Ludlow, who was a member of Gen. George Arm-strong Custers expedition to the Black Hills that year.

The Wall EagleFootball teamopened the sea-son by dominat-ing the WhiteRiver Tigers bythe score of 47 to6.

As you looked

at White River itappeared as if itwere a David andG o l i a t hmatchup. Theyhad a front linethat blocked thesun. Wall facedpossibly thelargest opponentthey may see allseason.

Also in theback of the Ea-gles minds wasthe previousyears game withthe Tigers. Oncethe game began,soon the Eagleswould spreadtheir wings andfly.

The Eaglesdominating de-fense and explo-sive offense seemed too much forthe Tigers. Though smaller, Wallwould use their quickness and ag-gressive play to control the line ofscrimmage and the game.

As you watched the game itseemed the Eagles became moredominant throughout the night.

The defense was all over theTigers allowing 45 yards of of-fense and zero points throughthree quarters. White Riverwould finish the game with sixpoints and 107 yards of offense.

The defense had a solid per-formance in the trenches fromRidge Sandal, Tyler Peterson,Ben Linn, Clancy Lytle andFreshman Cass Lytle.

Lane Blasius led the Eagles de-fense with 12 tackles followed

closely by Les Williams with 11.While the defense was swarm-ing the offense was soaring. The

Eagles soar in season opener

Eagles executed very well allnight in the air and on theground.

Wall finished with 334 yardsrushing and 120 yards passing fora total of 454 yards of offense. Onaverage we scored every fiveplays.

Once again our offensive line ofscrimmage did a great job againstsuperior size.

Peterson, Lytle, Sandal,Williams, and Linn opened theway for the Eagles offensive suc-cess.

Carson Johnston opened manyeyes as he rushed 10 times for 241yards and three touchdowns. Hewas explosive and proved he hasbreakaway speed.

There was early concern as full-back Cade Kjerstad pulled upwith a leg injury. Then Raedon

Anderson cameoff with a kneeinjury after thefirst play of of-fense. Gabe San-dal would an-swer the call atfullback as he ledJ o h n s t o nthrough the holeand ran the ball

in an aggressivenature.

When wewerent runningthe ball the Ea-gles were domi-nating throughthe air. Blasiuspassed 11 timesand completedseven for 120yards.

Trevor Ander-son caught theball four timesfor 83 yards anda touchdown.

Ben Linncaught three for37 yards and atouchdown.

Gabe Sandalended the scor-ing with a fiveyard touchdownrun.

Special Teams also did somedamage as T. Anderson returnedthree punts for 103 yards, one ofwhich he took back 79 yards forthe score. He also added threePAT kicks. T. Anderson also didthe kickoff duties.

The Eagles used the dirty ballmany times along with solid kickcoverage. Williams punted oncefor 43 yards.

Overall, we had a solid firstgame. We stressed all week thatthe most important game of theseason was game one.

Now we focus on the secondmost important game. Game twoagainst a physical Jones Co.team.

Jones Co. lost their seasonopener to Kadoka 20 to 34. The

game will be in Murdo at 7:00CST or 6:00 MST.
