Badlands National Park Super-
intendent Eric Brunnemann
pitched an idea to the council mem-
bers. Since Wall is a Gateway Com-
munity to the badlands, Brunne-
mann would like to put banners up
around town to promote certain
events at the park. Council mem-
ber Rick Hustead was opposed to
the idea, he felt that banners on
main street should be about Wall
since tourism is a fragile business.

thing together for the next city

more vicious, but any dog can be-
come vicious. Council will review

Monday, July 2 was a big day for
Kent and Eileen Jordan as they
took over ownership of the Wall
Food Center.
Kent said, This was a big deci-
sion that Eileen and I made. The
opportunity came along and we
hope to pass this down to our next

tablished with approval by an elec-
tion. The district will not cover the

president for a one year term.

South Dakota is reporting its
first West Nile virus (WNV) detec-
tions of the season, a positive mos-
quito pool in Brookings County
and one in Brown County.
This will be the eleventh year of
West Nile transmission in South
Dakota and it may be tempting to
be complacent, said Dr. Lon
Kightlinger, State Epidemiologist
for the Department of Health. We
need to remember that it can be a
serious, even fatal illness, and get
in the habit of protecting ourselves
by using repellents, limiting expo-
sure, and getting rid of mosquito
First West Nile detections reported
breeding spots.
To prevent mosquito bites and
reduce the risk of WNV, the de-
partment recommends the follow-
ing personal precautions:
Use mosquito repellents
(DEET, picaridin, oil of lemon eu-
calyptus, or IR3535) and limit ex-
posure by covering up.
Limit time outdoors from dusk
to midnight when Culex mosqui-
toes are most active.
Get rid of standing water that
gives mosquitoes a place to breed.
Support local mosquito control
efforts.
In South Dakota, peak trans-
mission of WNV is July through
early September. South Dakota
has reported 1,759 cases, including
26 deaths, since its first case in
2002.
Personal precautions are espe-
cially important for those at high
risk for WNV people over 50,
pregnant women, transplant pa-
tients, individuals with diabetes or
high blood pressure, and those
with a history of alcohol abuse.
People with a severe or unusual
headache should see their physi-
cian.

tion on the Web at

The next meeting of the Wall
Writers Group is scheduled for
Saturday, July 21. The meeting
date was changed due to the Wall
Celebration.
At the June meeting writers ex-
amined using first lines. The
idea came from the website the-
firstline.com where the first line
for a story is used as a topic.
Some of the first lines the Wall
writers used were: Ill be back in
a minute, All my dad said was,
and Notes from a. The results
in these assignments were as var-
ied and exciting as the partici-
pants doing the writings.
For the July 21 meeting, the (a)
topic choice is from the website
http://thefirstline.com. This topic
Wall Writers Group to meet July 21
is for the Fall 2012 competition on
this website.
(a) A light snow was falling as
Charlie Reardon left the diner and
made his way down Madison
Street.
Or chose the second topic, also to
be used as a first line in writing:
(b) And, the dog laid down be-
side.
On Saturday, July 21, starting
at 9:30 a.m. at 416 Sixth Avenue in
Wall, the writers will share the re-
sults of either of these suggested
writing topics or bring something
else they have written. Anyone of
any writing ability and interest in
writing is welcome to participate.
Any questions, please call Dave
279-2952 or Linda (605) 786-6937.

Gov. Dennis Daugaard an-
nounced recently a six-part Driver
Licensing Improvement Plan to
address long wait times in the
Sioux Falls area and to make the
Driver Licensing system more effi-
cient and convenient to customers
statewide.
A combination of staff shortages
and the traditionally busy summer
season created longer wait times
than normal at driver exam sta-
tions in Sioux Falls. Governor
Daugaard said state government
has an obligation to serve cus-
tomers well, and aggressive action
is needed to bring wait times for
applicants to acceptable levels.
Two hours is too long to wait,
the Governor said. Our Driver Li-
censing staff is working hard, but
we need to step up and get them
the tools they need to take care of
the problem. This plan does that.
The six parts of the Driver Li-
censing Improvement Plan are:
1. Extended hours of operation
Extending special hours of opera-
tion at the two Sioux Falls exam
stations to each stay open until 7
p.m.
2. Employee overtime Author-
izing overtime as needed to re-
spond to the increased traffic at
stations during times of staff
shortages.
3. Hiring and training Institut-
ing aggressive hiring and training
programs to fill vacancies.
4. Advance scheduling An-
nouncing the development of a sys-
tem allowing citizens to schedule
their driver license and non-driver
ID card renewals and duplicate li-
censes.
5. Self-service kiosks Signing a
contract for the installation of self-
Governor announces driver
licensing improvement plan
service kiosks at several exam sta-
tions.
6. Temporary licenses Urging
citizens in immediate need of re-
newal services but unable or un-
willing to wait in line to call the
Driver Licensing Program in
Pierre to obtain a temporary li-
cense, good for six months, under
the current process. The number
to call is 1-800-952-3696.
Two parts of the initiative ad-
vance scheduling and self-service
kiosks, will take time to imple-
ment, but the other efforts should
reduce wait times soon, according
to Cindy Gerber, Director of the
Driver Licensing Program.
The advance scheduling project
should be operational within a few
weeks and will allow citizens to go
online to schedule appointments
for renewals and duplicate li-
censes. A similar program already
in operation allows for scheduled
driving tests in several of the
states larger cities. The expansion
to scheduled renewals will begin in
Sioux Falls and Rapid City on a
trial basis and will be expanded as
warranted.
This week, a $1.2 million con-
tract was signed to install, pro-
gram and maintain the self-service
kiosks in several exam stations
across the state, including Sioux
Falls. A federal grant funds the
contract, which will be fulfilled in
the coming months. The kiosks
will allow citizens to complete part
of the application or renewal
process themselves. Customers
still will need to see an examiner
for a vision test, to have docu-
ments checked and to pay neces-
sary fees, but they will be able to
fill out the application and take
the driver license photograph be-
fore visiting the examiner. That
will shorten the time each cus-
tomer is with an examiner.
Sioux Falls currently has two
exam stations. The station at 3716
S. Westport Avenue is a full-service
site and will be open until 7 p.m.
on weekdays. The station at 415 N.
Dakota Avenue, which offers re-
newal services, will also be open
until 7 p.m., as soon as the change
is approved by the county.
After much discussion over the
number of days high school stu-
dents can miss, the 7-12 Handbook
was approved.
Cross Country schedule was
handed out to board members.
Mary Williams is having an issue
with meets falling on school days
and the coach being absent from
her classroom during that time.
Rieckman will invite the Athletic
Director and Cross Country Coach
to the next board meeting to dis-
cuss the issue.
Rieckman passed around a
quote that was received to fix the
hail damages and do some remod-
eling to the Big White School. The
quote did not include taking the
porch off on the east side but
Rieckman felt the cost would be
under $200. Todd Trask wants the
school to be fixed-up properly and
make sure that house wrap is
used. Rieckman will call Judy
Goldhammer to have an insurance
adjustor come up and get a quote
Eisenbraun and Johnson retain
positions on Wall School Board
continued from page 1
for the damages.
The board approved to enter into
executive session for the purpose
of discussing personnel according
to SDCL 1-25.2
The board entered out of execu-
tive session where Rieckman rec-
ognized Wayne Shull for being
named 9A Assistant Football
Coach of the Year, John Hess for
being named Regional Girls Bas-
ketball Coach of the Year and
Mark Ammann Regional Girls and
Boys Golf Coach of the Year.
The next school board meeting
will be held on Tuesday, August 14
at 7:00 p.m. in the school library.
With no other business the
meeting was adjourned.

The U.S. Forest Service reminds
the public that very high fire dan-
ger remains across the Black Hills
area and everyone can help pre-
vent human-caused fires by abid-
ing by the restrictions that are in
place. The Plains are reporting
very high to extreme fire danger.
Local, state, and federal officials
are meeting each week to discuss
the need for fire restrictions as the
season continues. They consider
factors such as current and pre-
dicted weather, fuel moisture, fire
activity, and available resources to
determine whether fire restric-
tions need to be revised or main-
tained at the current level.
Craig Bobzien, Black Hills Na-
tional Forest Supervisor, says,
The restrictions will remain in
Fire danger remains high
place until fire managers deem it
is appropriate to rescind them. He
adds, We understand this may be
inconvenient for residents and vis-
itors, especially those wishing to
enjoy a campfire. However, given
the hot gusty winds and this years
fire activity, we need to take neces-
sary precautions to prevent a
human-caused fire from starting
and growing rapidly.
While there have been occa-
sional thunderstorms and showers
the past week, these are generally
isolated in nature and not wide-
spread enough to lessen the over-
all fire danger. According to the
National Weather Service, the po-
tential for large fire growth re-
mains over the area the early part
of this week.
Fire restrictions are in effect for
the Black Hills Forest Fire Protec-
tion District, which encompasses
the following counties: Lawrence,
Meade, Pennington, Custer, and
Fall River.
Campfires in federal, state, local
and private campgrounds are pro-
hibited during the duration of
these restrictions. The definition of
campfires includes: b
uilding, maintaining, attending or
using a fire, campfire, charcoal
grill, coal, wood burning stove or
sheepherders stove.
Additional restrictions are in
place on the Black Hills National
Forest. For more information,
please call 605-673-9200.

Rodeo action
Little Cowboys and Cowgirls en-
tered in the Stick Horse Rodeo
sponsored by Super 8 underneath
the Wall Celebration Tent: they
came from their hometowns of
Platte, Parker, Rapid City, Wall,
Wasta and Quinn South Dakota.
They came with their stick
horses, chaps, boots, spurs, hats,
and were given a back number. If
they could not get their stick horse
loaded they had stick horses for
them to ride.
There were two events they
could enter, barrel racing where
they raced around three barrels
and had their name annouced by
Celebration Chairperson Dustin
Curr. The second event was the
Wild Ride where they could ride
their stick horse for six seconds
and they could buck, stomp, kick,
wave, or do what ever they wanted
to do.
After the event was finished
they were called up by name to re-
ceive a particpation prize.
The Celebration Committee also
had water ballon fights, sand box,
and bubbles for the kids to play in.
What a fun day for all!!

music both evening of Friday and
Saturday.

Its getting harder and harder to
stay cool this summer. I can hardly
wait to see what August brings!
We have some baby news in the
community. Lawrence Burke be-
came a grandpa again after a 20
year dry spell. His son Shannon
and his wife were blessed with a
healthy little girl, Ava Grace on
July 12th. They live in Utah.
We welcome Laken Cheryl Linn
into the community. Laken was
born on June 30th in Rapid City.
The proud parents are Morris and
Shirrise Linn and proud big sister
Kassandra.
Lawrence Burke had some com-
pany during the week. Clyde and
Chase Arneson were visitors on
Friday morning and Edgar Simon
stopped by to visit on Friday also.
Saturday evening brought Jim and
Myrna Smith by to drop off a ma-
chine for Lawrence to try in the
hope it would help his back pain.
Sounds like an automated
masseuse. We hope it helps
Lawrence.
Freddie Ferguson had a very
busy Saturday. He started out de-
livering mail then went on to Wall
for the celebration. While there, he
visited with some old Wasta High
School alumni, Virginia Ferguson,
Joan Deering and Larry Collier.
Still looking to party, he then trav-
eled on to the Pat Trasks for their
annual Ronald Reagan party.
Youre just getting younger Fred!
Many area residents attended

was in Rapid City for the week
helping her aunt with some house-
hold chores. After brunch, they
headed back to Mitchell. On Satur-
day, Peggy and Cherry Denke went
to the Antique Roadshow with their
treasures. That was quite an expe-
rience! It really was controlled
chaos, as they went thru about
6000 people that day. It turned out
that Peggy actually did have a
treasure, much to her delight. Af-
terwards, they went out for a nice
lunch, then dropped by Brad Book-
binders house to check out the lat-
est remodels.
I heard a rumor that there just
might be some rain in the next cou-
ple of days.lets keep our fingers

Someone in Wasta is having a
birthday party, Sunday. Some
clues a kindergarten graduate,
turning six years old has a brand
new baby sister and rides the pret-
tiest bike in town! Who else but
Natalee! Happy birthday!
Speaking of bicycles, Samantha
Rancour has a very nice bike and
rides it very well with brother,
Louie, who has his own handsome
Schwinn and also rides very well.
They have been out with mom,
Roberta and pay close attention to
cars, driveways and oncoming traf-
fic as well as neighbors who stop
them in the street to say hello!
The little storm on Thursday
evening brought wind, small hail
stones and enough rain to make
the air smell fresh and cool.
Tuesday, election day, gave
Dorothy Bathel, Barb Crawford
and yours truly an opportunity to
visit with voters about Wasta his-
tory, fierce biting little insects,
most fierce being chiggers! It's a
long day at the Community Hall!
So each of you who came in short-
ened the day and did your civic re-
sponsibility. Thank you.
Dick and Gaye Hadlock have en-
joyed visits from family. Before the
4th of July, Daughter Melody and
her husband Patrick O'Neil from
Davis Junction, Illinois. They were
busy installing a furnace for Dick
and Gaye. Son Mike and wife
Shirley (Charlie) arrived on Friday
evening and with Shirley's two
grown sons, Michael, Jamie and
wife Maria Cox, had one day to
spend with sister Melody and
Patrick. They have not all been to-
gether since 2006. Good news from
Mike. He is at present cancer free!
A busy time before and during the
4th of July, but a good time.
Grandson John O'Neil also came
from Rochfor, Illinois for the fur-
nace installing party. More com-
pany coming up for Dick and Gaye
we'll have that later.
Jamy Williams and Hazel Kalk-
brenner had a good time Saturday
(the 14th). They were the fortu-
nate lottery "selectees" (or Jamy
was and shared) for the Antique
Roadshow's visit to Raid City. I'm
sure they will be most happy to an-
swer questions you may have.
Faye Bryan had a Sunday morn-
ing visitor for coffee and dough-
nuts. Vickie Bryan stopped by. I
didn't ask if Vickie brought the
doughnuts or Faye made them. A
good visit with a long time friend
and niece by marriage (from
Platte, SD) is always enjoyed,
doughnuts just enhance the con-
versation.
We really appreciate Sparky for
looking so handsome and so pre-
pared for your very important job.
Sparky hasn't missed but one pa-
rade in the years that he and the
fella astride with the big grin have
been coming! You both look great
and thanks Freddie for being so
faithful.
A surprise at the talent show, a
visitor staying at the campground
spoke of miracles we saw a mir-
acle right in Wasta on the 4th of
July Anna Lee Humphrey has re-
covered enough so she could come
to the parade and be with family
through the day.
For this day, Monday, a little
miracle/blessing was the soft cool
air and the busy bird sound of
morning at 5:00 a.m.
Happy Trails!

How much, I wonder, do
the Christian parents
among our readers show
their children their love for
the Word, and for Christ,
and for the souls for whom
He died?
For many years I worked
with my father, first full-
time, then part-time, as a
city missionary in Pater-
son, N.J. All during these
first years dad and I
walked to work together
each morning -- a little over
a mile.
Do you know how we in-
variably occupied our-
selves on the way? By
quoting Scripture pas-
sages on some particular
subject. One morning we
would quote as many pas-
sages as we could on the
deity of Christ, another on
His death or resurrection;
others on His love, power,
grace, or other attributes
and characteristics. Some-
times, for days or weeks
on end dad would use
these morning walks to ply
me with questions such as:
"What Scriptures would
you use to deal with a blas-
pheming unbeliever?" or "a
self-righteous person" or
"one who rejects Christ on
intellectual grounds?"
In this way we covered
"miles and miles" of Scrip-
ture, as it were, and this in
addition to Scripture read-
ing before every meal at
home, and again before
we retired for the night.
And all this again in addi-
tion to the oral and written
Bible teaching of many of
the great Bible expositors
of that day, whose teach-
ings we studied with deep-
est interest.
What a precious her-
itage! We wish that more of
our Christian young people
today were as well off. Par-
ents: it's strictly up to you.
What are your priorities?
What are you willing to pay
-- in terms of pleasure,
ease or financial "suc-
cess"? Do you set an ex-
ample to your children --
and others -- by really put-
ting God first?

Bonnie L. Kjerstad______________________________
Bonnie L. Kjerstad, 63, of Hill
City, passed away on Friday, July
13, 2012 at the Rapid City Re-
gional Auxiliary Hospice House.
Bonnie was born on August 19,
1948 in Philip to Arnold and Min-
nie (Geigle) Johnson. She grew up
in Rapid City and graduated from
Central High School in 1966.
While attending college, Bonnie
married Dale Kjerstad on Decem-
ber 22, 1968. She graduated from
Black Hills State College in 1970
with a degree in Elementary Edu-
cation.
Bonnie taught at Wilson and
Jefferson in Rapid City from 1970
to 1976. After taking six years off
to begin raising her three sons,
Bonnie returned to teaching at
Robbinsdale Elementary in 1984
where she continued teaching
until this past December. She
often remarked that she was doing
exactly what she wanted where
she wanted.
Co-workers and students will al-
ways remember Bonnie as an out-
standing teacher and friend. Al-
though she was one of the most
gifted of teachers, Bonnie was a
very humble person. She never
sought to be in the limelight, so it
was actually a challenge for her to
accept being voted as Robbins-
dales Teacher of the Year in 1997.
Bonnie will be remembered for
her gentle, caring way. She was
not only the loving mom to her
own three boys; she was a second
mom (teacher) to hundreds of
children throughout her 35 years
of teaching elementary school.
Just as a mother would do, Bonnie
loved and nurtured her students,
instilling in each child not only the
importance of learning, but the
value of treating others with re-
spect. She led by example.
Bonnie was a mom who read to
her children. Jamie, Jason, and
Jeff have fond memories of being
read to by their mom. Bonnies love
of reading was contagious; giving
her students the gift of going any-
where they wished, through a
book. Even after reading to her
students every day, Bonnie would
often go home to her favorite sit-
ting room and read in the evening.
Grandchildren had a very spe-
cial place in Bonnies heart. She es-
pecially enjoyed her time in the
kitchen with her dear little grand-
daughter, Kylie. Whether it was
baking cookies, peeling potatoes,
or Kylie just watching her
grandma prepare a meal, love
filled the room. With Grandma
and Grandpa living in the hills,
Kylie also enjoyed every minute of
time she, Bonnie and Dale spent
outside, whether it was time at the
local parks or catching butterflies
with her special net. After raising
three boys, having a little girl
around was a special blessing.
Bonnie is survived by her hus-
band Dale Kjerstad of Hill City,
three sons, Jamie Raye Kjerstad,
Jason Dale Kjerstad, and Jeffrey
Allen (Jessica) Kjerstad, all of
Rapid City, three grandchildren,
Kylie, Alex, and Ambrossa; her fa-
ther, Arnold Johnson of Philip; one
brother, Jim (Jean) Johnson of
Quinn; three nieces, Jana (Craig)
Bielmaier, Wall, Jackie (Thor)
Roseth, Philip, and Jennifer John-
son, Rapid City; great-nieces and
nephews, Ryan, Jocelyn, and Kin-
sey Bielmaier, and Royce Roseth.
Funeral services were held
Wednesday, July 18, 2012 at Cal-
vary Lutheran Church in Rapid
City, with Pastor Dwight Stens-
gaard officiating. Interment will
follow at Hill City Cemetery.
A memorial has been estab-
lished.
An online guestbook is available
at www.kirkfuneralhome.com.
Amy J. Barber_________________________________
Amy J. Barber, 92, of Rapid City,
passed away on Wednesday, July
11, 2012 at a Rapid City nursing
home.
On July 14, 1919, Amy J. Erick-
son was born to parents, Joseph
and Emma Erickson in Everett,
Washington. Amys father was a
carpenter by trade, and shortly
after her birth, they moved to Oak-
land, CA, where Joseph provided a
good living for his family with his
considerable skill in carpentry.
Amys older brother, Rudy, joined
the Navy when Amy was yet pre-
school age and she experienced
being raised as an only child for
most of the time she lived with her
parents.
Following high school gradua-
tion, Amy enrolled at UC Berkley.
She graduated with a BS in Home
Economics and a Minor in Music.
Then she began working at a
Christian Center near her home.
While working there she met
Edgar Barber. Edgar was working
for Standard Oil in Richmond, CA.
Following their marriage in 1940,
they returned to the Lakeside
Community, honoring a request
from Edgars father, Fred Barber,
to take over the ranching duties.
One cannot begin to imagine what
thoughts Amy had as she experi-
enced this extreme changefrom
concrete streets and sidewalks in a
big city, to ranch living with only a
few luxuries. A few years later,
Edgar and Amy bought another
ranch a few miles south of the
homestead where they raised four
children, Susan, Paul, Beverly, and
Roger. Roger died in 2002 and
Susan, Paul, and Beverly cur-
rently reside in Rapid City.
When the children were older,
Amy began teaching Home Eco-
nomics and leading the choral
music program at Wall High
School. While there, Amy was ac-
tive in local and state Home Eco-
nomics programs. She and her stu-
dents won many awards.
Music was very important to
Amy, being an accomplished pi-
anist, she gave neighborhood chil-
dren piano lessons for many years.
She also was the church pianist
and organist for the Owanka and
Lakeside Churches.
Following Edgars death in
1983, Amy joined a volunteer
American Baptist Mission group
and traveled to several mission
sites in the world. She taught
Home Economics, Music, and Eng-
lish. Her travels took her to the
countries of Thailand, Africa,
Nicaragua, and India. Her faith
was very important to her and she
served in many capacities on local,
state, and national American Bap-
tist boards and committees. Amy
and Edgar were passionate sup-
porters of Camp Judson in the
Black Hills. Amy received the
Good Neighbor Award in 1989. In
2002 she became a resident of
Westhills Village. She often said
this is a beautiful place to be, it is
comfortable here.
She is survived by two daugh-
ters, Susan (Gary) Reed and Bev-
erly (Gary) Outtrim, both of Rapid
City; one son, Paul (Pat) Barber of
Rapid City; a daughter-in-law,
Linda Barber Kooiker of Sioux
Falls; eight grandchildren, and 15
great grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by
her husband Edgar (1983) and
youngest son, Roger in 2002.
Memorial Services will be at 10
am on Saturday, July 21, 2012 at
the First Baptist Church in Rapid
City, with Rev. Chuck Landon offi-
ciating.
In lieu of flowers, memorials can
be directed to First Baptist of
Rapid City, and Camp Judson of
Keystone.
Walter Van Tassel_______________________________
Walter Van Tassel, age 88 of
Midland, died Thursday, July 12,
2012, at the Hans P. Peterson Me-
morial Hospital in Philip.
Walter Harlan Van Tassel was
born February 16, 1924, in Ot-
tumwa, Iowa, to Walter E. and
Ruth Van Tassel. Walter (Junior
to many) moved to the Midland
area in 1929 where he lived with
his grandparents, William and
Pearl Lee, on the 1912 homestead
ranch north of Ottumwa and was
raised like brothers and sister with
his aunt, Fern (Lee) Konst, and his
uncle, Bill Lee.
Walter was educated at the Mat-
tison Country School where he
graduated the eighth grade.
Walter continued to farm and
ranch with the Lees and became
very mechanically inclined, work-
ing on the farm equipment, keep-
ing it moving during the war years
(baling wire and a good set of pliers
will fix anything).
In 1951, a custom farming crew
from Nebraska made its way into
the Ottumwa (S.D.) area. Joann
Walker, who was driving truck for
her parents, was invited to a birth-
day party for Bill Lee, where she
met Walter. There were several
trips to Nebraska over the next
year that culminated in their mar-
riage in 1952. Walter continued to
work the ranch with the Lees and
started his family. Walter and Bill
Lee established the Golden Willow
Ranch on the original homestead,
which raised registered Black
Angus cattle, certified seed, farm-
ing and custom grain cleaning.
Over the years, Walter worked
hard to improve the quality of seed
produced by Golden Willow Seeds.
During this time period, Walter
was recognized with several
awards, including the 1991 South
Dakota Certified Seed Grower of
the year. In 1995, Walter and
Joann were invited to participate
as ambassadors for People to Peo-
ple mission and traveled to China.
They also made trips to various lo-
cations in the United States and to
Mexico. It was during this period
that Walter got to meet and shake
hands with former president,
Jimmy Carter.
All who knew Walter had no
doubt of his honesty and work
ethic. Seldom was work being done
that he was not involved in. He en-
joyed talking with people who came
to visit or have grain cleaned. If
you were around him for any
amount of time, you got the benefit
of his story telling and his ever-pre-
sent big smile and a sparkle in his
eyes. He also enjoyed working on
all machinery, from the simplest to
the most complex, and could get
just about anything back up and
running. Unfortunately, he never
got around to building his flying
machine but got to fly in an air-
plane with son Jim and finally got
to ride in a helicopter last summer.
One of his favorite pastimes was
fishing. He always enjoyed hunt-
ing, playing the violin and accor-
dion, and tinkering.
Grateful for having shared his
life are his wife of 59 years, Joann
Van Tassel; four children, Steven
Van Tassel (Susan) of Midland,
Sandra Heaton (Dennis) of Mid-
land, Linda Clavel (Ted) of
Mankato, Minn., and James Van
Tassel (Brenda) of Midland; eight
grandchildren, Terri (Heaton)
Staben, Gina (Heaton) Steinlicht,
Jesse Heaton, Brady Clavel, Krista
(Clavel) Brown, Michelle Van Tas-
sel, LaRae Van Tassel and Ryan
Van Tassel; five great-grandchil-
dren Michael Steinlicht, Megan
Steinlicht, Erika Steinlicht, Leah
Staben and Zoe Staben; a half-
brother, Donald VanTassel of Ot-
tumwa, Iowa; a half-sister, Eunice
Valentine (Phil) of Ottumwa, Iowa;
a special aunt, Fern Konst; and a
special uncle, William Billy Lee.
Walter was preceded in death by
his parents, Walter and Ruth
(Caster) Van Tassel; a half-brother,
Vern Van Tassel; and his maternal
grandparents, William and Pearl
Lee.
Funeral services were held Mon-
day, July 16, at the American Le-
gion Hall in Philip, with Pastor
Kathy Chesney officiating.
Music was provided by Barb
Bowen, pianist, and Chuck and
RuthAnn Carstensen, vocalists.

and Mickey Daly.
Pallbearers were Mark Foland,
Glen Hostutler, Tony Willoughby,
Ed Heeb, Dean Heeb and Vincent
Schofield.Honorary pallbearers
were his birthday buddies, Vern
and Carrol Foland, Lawrence and
Ronda Schofield, all of his grand-
children and great-grandchildren.
Interment was at the Masonic
Cemetery in Philip.
A memorial has been established

partment and the Midland Ambu-
lance.
Arrangements were with the
Rush Funeral Home of Philip.

South Dakota is known for its
good cooks and great beefand
the 2012 South Dakota State Fair
Beef Cook-Off is the opportunity to
put a spotlight on the states ac-
complished home cooks and great-
tasting, nutritious beef in a
friendly, fun annual event.
If youre one of our states good
amateur cooks armed with a great
beef recipe, its time to enter the
State Fair Beef Cook-Off, says
Karla Pazour, chair of the event.
Wed love anyone who enjoys
cooking to participate, says Pa-
zour. The State Fair is a true
South Dakota affair with competi-
tion in everything from horticul-
ture to livestock breeds. The Beef
Cook-Off is one more friendly com-
petition featuring grills, skillets
and beef.
Entries and recipes are due Au-
gust 1, 2012 for the State Fair Beef
Cook-Off to be held Saturday, Sep-
tember 1 at the South Dakota
State Fair in Huron. The contest is
open to non-professional South
Dakota residents in either the
Enter state fair beef cook-off:
entries due August 1
youth division (10-18 years) or
adult division (19 and older). Beef
recipes submitted must feature a
main meal entre appropriate for
entertaining or special occasion
meals. Judging is based on taste,
appearance, originality, nutrition
and ease of preparation. The win-
ner of the youth division will re-
ceive a $250 cash prize, while the
adult division winner will take
home $500 in cash. Thanks to the
Beef Check-off dollar, there will be
$1,500 in cash prizes awarded.
Pazour says, Many people have
fond memories of their favorite
meals on vacation or at trend-set-
ting restaurants. This year's cook-
ing theme DESTINATION:
DINNER challenges the cook to
replicate recipes that are represen-
tative of specific locationsthink
Bourbon Street Steak, Lone Star
Salad, Beef Burgundy, Korean-
Style Ribs, explains Pazour. Beef's
versatility makes it a natural for
various ethnic creations. She says,
Sometimes you can escape from
life's ordinary by simply creating
an extraordinary beef meal!
Individuals selected to compete
will actually prepare their beef en-
tre in a public area during the
Beef Cook-Off, allowing partici-
pants to interact with state fair at-
tendees. Judges are kept in a se-
cluded location and recipes are
judged completely on the finished
product, not on cooking proce-
dures.
Hosted by the South Dakota
CattleWomen and funded by the
SD Beef Industry Council through
the Beef Check-off, the State Fair
Beef Cook-Off is an excellent way,
says Pazour, to educate consumers
on the 29 lean cuts of beef along
with beef s versatility, ease of

Health facilities in rural areas of
South Dakota have gained a new
tool to help recruit nurses, phar-
macists, physical therapists and
other health professionals, Gov.
Dennis Daugaard said recently.
The Rural Healthcare Facility
Recruitment Assistance Program
pays a $10,000 incentive to eligible
health professionals who complete
three-year service commitments in
communities up to 10,000 people.
The program is part of the Gov-
ernors South Dakota Workforce
Initiative 2012 legislative package.
It replaces a previous healthcare
professional recruitment assis-
tance program, doubling the incen-
tive payment and limiting partici-
pation to communities smaller
than 10,000 people.
Health professionals in South
Dakota are concentrated in our
New recruitment program
helps rural health facilities
most populous areas, and it can be
a challenge for rural hospitals,
clinics and other facilities to re-
cruit them, Gov. Daugaard said.
Im pleased to offer rural facilities
this support to help recruit the
medical professionals that are
needed.
The $10,000 incentive payment
is split between the state and the
employing facility, with facilities in
smaller communities paying a
smaller share. The state covers 75
percent of the total for communi-
ties up to 2,500 people and 50 per-
cent for those larger than 2,500
people.
Health professionals eligible to
participate in the program include
dietitians, nutritionists, nurses,
occupational therapists, physical
therapists, paramedics, pharma-
cists, respiratory therapists, certi-
fied medical laboratory profession-
als, and radiologic technologists.
Applications must be submitted
by the employing health facility.
The application period opened July
1. Application forms and addi-
tional information can be found on
the South Dakota Department of
Health website at
ruralhealth.sd.gov
Sustaining essential healthcare
services in rural and underserved
areas is a priority goal of the
Health 2020 initiative in the state
Department of Health.
South Dakota Workforce Initia-
tives (SD WINS) is Gov. Dau-
gaards 20-point plan to address
short and long-term needs for pro-
fessional and skilled workers in
the state through a collaborative
effort of business, education,
health, and labor leaders.
The South Dakota Board of Ed-
ucation has approved an adminis-
trative rule change that would
delay a requirement that school
districts evaluate teachers based
on the standards for teaching ap-
proved by the board a year ago.
The delay will give districts
until the 2014-2015 school year to
align their evaluation instruments
to the new standards for teaching.
We are asking for this change
due to requests from school lead-
Rule change would delay implementation
of new standards for teaching
ers, said Secretary of Education
Melody Schopp. This change will
clarify for all those involved that
teacher evaluation may be based
on existing local standards until
the 2014-2015 school year, at
which point it must be based on
the new standards. The extra time
can be used to align evaluation in-
struments and gain familiarity
with the new standards.
During the 2010 legislative ses-
sion, lawmakers tasked the De-
partment of Education with estab-
lishing standards for teaching in
South Dakota. A work group con-
sisting of teachers, education lead-
ers and experts from around the
state studied the issue and recom-
mended the Charlotte Danielson
Framework for Teaching. The
Framework for Teaching consists
of four domains broken into 22 in-
dicators of good teaching.

The crowd which began to surge
the street Saturday afternoon con-
tinued almost ceaseless until late
Sunday. Only for a brief spell early
Sunday morning was the town
partially quiet. The weather was
ideal for the celebration and the
events moved along like clock-
work. The large portion of the
crowd Saturday afternoon drifted
out to the ball park followed by
some real bucking exhibitions, a
game of kittenball, foot races, suit
case races, boxing bouts, a free
dance in the school gymnasium,
school band performance and end-
ing with a barbecue and ball game
on Sunday.
Charlie McDonald, county com-
missioner, and owner of a ranch
northwest of Wall, brought in some
heads of wheat that measured five
inches in length and contain large,
plump kernels. He believes that
the 100-acre plot from which they
were taken will average not less
than 25 bushels to the acre. Other
grain in the same neighborhood is
correspondingly good, he said.
At the baseball game Sunday,
two cars suffered broken windows
from batted balls Harold
Welchs and Henry Johnsons. Cars
completely surrounded the field.
70 years ago
An attempt to break-in at the
Wall Drug Store was discovered
the morning following the Tenth of
July. Two panes of glass at the rear
of the store were smashed and the
bars on the inside of the windows
were bent, but probably not far
enough to allow anyone to squeeze
through. Deputy Sheriff, H. H.
Johnson was called and examined
the foot prints found in the area.
The tracks would indicate that the
attempted break-in was made by a
man.
Walls thirty-fifth birthday was
celebrated with a crowd equal in
number to that of last year in spite
of the fact a large number of the
young folks have left for the army
and defense work. The rides of
Curls Amusements brought
within two dollars the amount of
revenue of a year ago, and the
dance showed an increased rev-
enue. All the folks seemed to enjoy
themselves at the hospital ded-
ication program, the band con-
certs, the races and contests, and
watching the various rides and
carnival attractions.
Chas. Strandell was given the
contract to paint the three school
buildings in the Ash Creek district.

60 years ago
Wall held a very entertaining
birthday party, July 9 and 10,
forty-five years after Walls first
town lot sale. Everyone seemed to
have had a good time. The feature
event which took the efforts of a
great many of Walls business men
was the buffalo barbecue. The
meat was perfect and there was
plenty to go around. The carnival
attractions were acclaimed the
best that has ever been set up in
Wall. The Legion Auxiliary and
Methodist Ladies made over a
hundred dollars for their organiza-
tions by selling tickets for the
rides. The Wall Chamber of Com-
merce received $412 from the con-
cessions. The Ruby Ramblers of
Pierre played for the annual
dance. The hall was crowded and
the Wall club netted $175 from the
dance.
Deputy Sheriff Glenn Best was
called down to Wall to investigate
the slugging of station agent H. M.
Hatton. Early yesterday morning,
Hatton answered a knock on his
residence door. As he opened the
door, he was hit over the head with
a flashlight, cutting a gash above
the hair line. Hatton noticed his
garage door open and the dome
light of his car on. The flashlight
that had been used for the slug-
ging had been taken from his car.
Two or three men working with
the seismograph crews were being
questioned by Best.
Evelyn Clark has started the
summer session at Black Hills
Teachers College in Spearfish. She
will teach third and fourth grades
in Wall next year.
Creighton Highlights: A
shower Friday and an all-day rain
Sunday amounted to an inch and
a half which came when needed
quite badly. The grain should ripen
out good now except rust is show-
ing up in it quite bad.

BIRTH: A boy, Luke Joseph,
was born to Mr. and Mrs. Joe
Crawford last Wednesday morning
at the Philip hospital. He weighed
8 lbs. 5 oz.
William George Hamann and
Harold Lee Foell of Wall, enlisted
in the U.S. Navy, July 11. They are
now in San Diego, Calif. taking
training at the U.S. Naval Train-
ing Center.
A meeting to discuss the site and
other plans for Walls proposed
swimming pool will be held at 8
p.m. today at the REA office. Citi-
zens of Wall and the surrounding
community are urged to attend.
Bert Meyer has obtained top view
plans for the pool and will present
them at the meeting. It is esti-
mated that the project will cost
$10,000 and will require 30 days to
complete. Donations and pledges
totaling $1,300 had been received
at the time of the building commit-
tees last meeting. Another fund
raising project is the sale of 500
tickets for a go-cart. One hundred
fifty tickets have been sold. In ad-
dition to donations of money, many
people have offered their time and
equipment to help build the pool
facilities. Max Hauk will be in
charge of constructing the pool and
building.

Wall, the host team, won the
handicap golf tournament held
Sunday at the Wall Golf Course.
Wall nudged Philip and Kadoka on
a pleasant golfing day, to win the
average town team handicap score.
Wall came in with a 37.46 average
compared to a 38.58 average for
Philip, and a 38.75 for Kadoka.

The Class of 1927 of the Quinn

fifth anniversary Saturday
evening, July 15, 1972. A supper
was held at the Cactus Cafe with
nine of its twelve members an-
swering roll call. One member
Conrad Simonson of Indio, Califor-
nia was unable to attend. Two are
deceased, Pat Kelly and Buster
(Monroe) Handlin. The class mem-

Charles Foote of Wapata, Wash-
ington, Lynn and Bernice Brown-
son of Rapid City, Marguerite
Willuweit and Iloe Schaffer of Den-
ver, Colorado, Robert Kelly of
Quinn, Pearl E. Peterson of Cot-
tonwood, and Mildred Kelly of

Around 50 relatives and friends
gathered at the Emil Sieler home
on Sunday for a Sieler family re-
union. Among those from away
were Mr. and Mrs. LeRoy Denke
and family of Rapid City, Mr. and
Mrs. Gary Sieler and family of
Kadoka, Mr. and Mrs. Erwin Arm-
strong of Ann Arbor, Mich, and
Mrs. Margurett Willuweit of Den-
ver, Colo.
Karen Hammerstrom and Terry

the Lutheran Church in Philip on
Saturday, July 15. The double ring
ceremony was performed by Rev.
Brucklacher. Parents of the couple
are Mr. and Mrs. Dale Hammer-
strom of Quinn, and Mr. and Mrs.
George Gunn of Wasta. Miss Karol
Hammerstrom, twin sister of the
bride, was maid-of-honor, and
Craig Klingbile was honor atten-
dant for the groom. Cheryl Kjer-
stad sang For All We Know ac-
companied by Rhonda Kjerstad on
the guitar. A wedding supper was
held at Jerrys Steakhouse in
Philip. The couple are living in
Wasta.

The Wall Methodist Church was
certainly not an ugly duckling be-
fore, but a recent adaptation of the
church windows from plain to
stained glass has transformed it to
a beautiful swan, of sorts. The
Methodist Church has been work-
ing on this project for about five
years now, with a Memorial Com-
mittee consisting of Herma Mars-
den, Armista Sebade and Mavis
Bryan in charge of the windows.
Roy Marsden of Wall designed
each of the small windows, which
were in turn made by the Glass
Farm of Rapid City. The large win-
dow in the front of the church was
designed, made and installed by
Hauser Art Glass of Winona, Min-
nesota. Each window is a memo-
rial gift from a particular family or
group of families. Some are memo-
rials for deceased family members
and others are gifts to the church.
With only one loss in league
play, the Pennington County
Courant won two games last week,
putting their record at 8-1. Their
first game against Kittermans
went five innings, ending with a
score of 28-6. In a much closer
game, the Courant defeated the
Outlaws by the score of 8-3.
A rash of errors in the sixth in-
ning cost the Hairraisers a game
against G&W Hot Dogs on July 12.
The Hairraisers led up until the
sixth inning, when they committed
four errors and G&W scored seven
runs. Also on July 12, the Hairrais-
ers defeated Different strokes, 18-
6.

In spite of the cool, damp, soggy
weather, the Wall Celebration
Days, held July 10, 11 and 12 were
a big success. The Wall Volunteer
Fire Department and the Wall Am-
bulance Crew kicked off the three
big days with their annual hot dog
supper, serving approximately 400
people this year; a large crowd was
entertained by the band Panama
that evening. Saturday morning
was the parade; after lunch was
the Alumni program and at the
same time the Ranch Rodeo was
being held. Saturday afternoon,
the Rushmore German Band
played and was followed in the
evening by The Silver Creek Bank.
Sunday morning, the Polka Mass
was held under the tent and in the
afternoon a horseshoe tourna-
ment.
On Wednesday evening, July 8,
1992, the Wall Teeners Youth
Baseball team played Eagle Butte
at the Wall Baseball field. Wall lost
that game 8-3. In the second game
of the day, Wall won over Eagle
Butte by a score of 13-3.
On Monday night, July 13, 1992,
the Wall Bs played the Philip Bs.
Wall lost the game 11-9. In the sec-
ond game of the evening, the Wall
Teener As beat the Philip As by a
score of 6-3.
The Wall Midget As won the
only game of the week over the
Philip Braves, 13-3. This was a
well played game to beat a team
that had beaten them twice earlier
in the year.

The Wall Girl Scouts took in an-
other fun camping trip June 28-30.
On Friday, the girls first stop was
at Sitting Bull Crystal Cave before
proceeding to their camp site by
Keystone. Later that evening they
took in the light ceremony at Mt.
Rushmore. On Saturday, they
went to Big Thunder Gold Mine,
the Keystone Museum, Cosmos
and then back to camp for games
and a water fight. On their way
home on Sunday, they stopped at
the Rushmore Waterslides.
