National Grasslands Visitor Center 

begins season with new programs 

Homesteaders of the Tyree Basin 

By Linda M. Hiltner 

The newest programs at the National 

Grasslands Visitor Center 

(NGVC) will bring Smokey Bear to 

Wall during the summer tourism 

season. 

Beginning on Friday, June 7, 

Smokey will walk up Main Street 

every Friday morning (except July 

5) through August 16. 

He will be present for Story 

Time at the Wall Community Library 

starting at 9:00 a.m. 

Smokey will also make appearances 

at Badlands National Park 

on Wednesday nights (June 19 – 

August 15). 

He will greet visitors at the 

Cedar Pass Amphitheater from 

8:15 – 8:45 p.m. Evening programs 

will then be given by Forest Service 

and Park Service personnel. 

On Thursday evenings, Smokey 

will be at the National Grasslands 

Visitor Center, 708 Main Street in 

Wall, beginning June 20 (except 

July 4). 

Visitors have an opportunity to 

take photographs with Smokey 

from 7:00 – 7:30 p.m. and to stay 

for short presentations on the National 

Grasslands, the Minuteman 

Missile National Historic Site and 

Badlands National Park. 

The Forest Service and National 

Park Service will continue the 

Hidden In Plain Sight tours 

throughout the summer. 

These tours explore the history 

of the Minuteman Missile Na- 

Daugaard to call 

special session 

Gov. Dennis Daugaard will be 

convening the South Dakota Legislature 

for a special legislative 

session on Saturday, June 22 to obtain 

legislative support to use fiscal 

year-end funds for the new 

State Veterans Home in Hot 

Springs. 

After the State Engineer opened 

the bids for the project, it became 

apparent that the amount estimated 

by the architect would not 

cover the cost of the Veterans 

Home. 

“My priority is to build a 

durable, quality facility for our veterans 

– they deserve nothing less,” 

said Gov. Daugaard in an email to 

tional Historic Site (MMNHS) and 

our National Grasslands. 

Beginning Tuesday, June 4, at 

1:00 p.m. a short introduction will 

be held in the theater of the National 

Grasslands Visitor Center. 

Then every Tuesday and Thursday 

at 1:45 p.m., a ranger-led talk 

continues at the D-09 missile silo 

off of Exit 116. 

For any questions on these programs, 

please call MMNHS at 605- 

433-552 or the NGVC at 605-279- 

2125. 

The StoryWalk® series will 

begin on Friday, June 7 with a new 

book, Tatanka and the Lakota People: 

A Creation Story by Donald 

Montileaux. 

The StoryWalk® boards will 

begin at the National Grasslands 

Visitor Center and the route is 

marked. 

Children and their families have 

a chance to read a book, take a 

walk and create an engaging activity 

while visiting Wall. 

During the summer, about every 

two weeks, another story will be 

available along the StoryWalk® 

route. 

This project originally began in 

Vermont and is now installed in 45 

states and four foreign countries. 

For more information on any of 

the programs, please contact the 

National Grasslands Visitor Center 

at 605-279-2125 or stop for a 

visit at 708 Main Street in Wall. 

legislators. “I do not believe we can 

afford to wait until January to 

take action, because we would lose 

this construction season.” 

A special legislative session is 

necessary to prevent the state 

from losing a $23 million federal 

grant already designated to the 

Veterans Home. 

Gov. Daugaard is hopeful the 

setback will not delay progress on 

building the new home. As the 

state approaches the end of the fiscal 

year, current estimates indicate 

tax revenues will be $7-10 

million higher and expenses $7-10 

million lower than expected, leaving 

$14-20 million.

Surrounded by badlands that 

are 300 feet tall, this basin is only 

two miles wide and five miles long, 

yet was home to a number of 

homesteaders. 

The Tyree Basin which lies in 

the Badlands National Park 

Wilderness area was one of the 

last areas homesteaded in South 

Dakota. 

The land proved to be one of the 

harshest areas to tame due to the 

lack of water and wood. These necessities 

would be the downfall of 

the homesteaders. 

But the families came not knowing 

what lay ahead of them. Jess 

Harris and Joe Miner were the 

first to stake a claim in the Sage 

Creek area around 1902. 

The Harris claim was between 

two branches of the creek while 

Miner was about three miles down 

the creek. 

Other homesteaders to the area 

were: John H. Bobier, Gilbert Bobier, 

Kimballs, Clarence Pyle, 

Batchelders, Charles Wyant lived 

on the south side of the left fork in 

Sage Creek, George Gunn, Ed 

Overton, Tom Freit and the 

Tyrees. 

Logs and lumber were hauled 

from the Black Hills to build farmsteads. 

Livestock consisted of cattle, 

horses, poultry and whatever 

the homesteaders had in their possession 

when they made the wagon 

ride to the area. 

Gardens were planted along 

with other crops and hay was put 

up. 

Fruit was abundant in the wild 

thickets along with wild grapes. 

Water had to be hauled by a 

team and wagon or a stone-boat 

which is a type of sled made to 

haul heavy objects. 

Laundry was hauled to the creek 

to be washed. 

The families encountered prairie 

rattlers, diamond backs, copper 

heads, puff adders and even a corral 

snake. 

Grey wolves were also a threat 

to the livestock and if hungry 

enough would come into their 

yards to make a kill. 

Old Three Toes was a famous 

wolf who had a $500 bounty. He 

was well known from Kansas to 

Manitoba. 

When hay wasn’t abundant the 

men would take apart their mowers 

and haul them to the top of 

Hay Butte by hand. Then the men 

would lead the horses up to mow 

the hay. A chute was constructed to 

send the hay down. The butte is 

visible from Rim Road. 

The homesteaders would also go 

to Sheep Mountain to hay if the 

need arisen. 

Cedar posts and firewood were 

gathered at the slopes of the badlands 

butte's. The men would set 

a post at the top of the butte and 

also at the bottom. A wire was then 

stretched from the top to the bottom. 

The posts would be stappled 

to the wire and sent speeding 

down. When the posts would hit 

the end they would pop off the staple 

and were ready to be loaded 

into wagons. 

When times got real tough the 

homesteaders would pick up the 

bones of dead buffalo. They were 

paid $3.00 a ton. The bones were 

used to make fertilizer. 

Walter Lee and Rosa Justine 

Tyree came to the Badlands from 

West Virginia around 1909. Their 

oldest son Virgil was 11 years old. 

Twins Howard and Eugene were 

born seven years later on June 3, 

1916. Eugene died at birth and 

was laid to rest in the basin. His 

tiny grave was covered with a 

mound of stones. 

The family lived there for 12 

years and then moved to Interior. 

Charles and Alice Wyant lived 

above the Badlands. Their son 

Clive homesteaded not far from 

the Tyrees. He ran cattle along 

with Louie Bloomer. LeRoy Wyant 

was born in the homestead shack 

in the middle of the Tyree Basin in 

1934. His grandmother Alice delivered 

him. LeRoy and his family 

moved away a year or two later. 

When LeRoy was around five or 

six he went with his dad, brother 

and Jim Allburn and tore down an 

old building that was on their Badlands 

homestead. 

On September 29, 1968 a different 

expedition went into the Tyree 

Basis. Instead of horses and wagons, 

vehicles made the trek. Over 

1,553 people made their way into 

The writing on the back of the photo reads, “The old Wyant home in the Badlands. Clive Wyant

the basin to revisit the area. 

Virgil and Howard Tyree were 

among the many visitors on that 

day. Ten years earlier Howard 

found his twins grave and marked 

it with a note stuck inside a bottle. 

The bottle was discovered in 

1960. In 1961, Scout Master

Using tick repellent and regularly 

checking for ticks are the 

keys to preventing tularemia, 

Lyme disease and other tick-borne 

illnesses, says a South Dakota 

health official. 

“Spring means more time outdoors 

and more risk for tick-borne 

diseases,” said Dr. Lon 

Kightlinger, state epidemiologist 

for the Department of Health. 

“Every year in South Dakota we 

see cases of Rocky Mountain spotted 

fever, tularemia, ehrlichiosis 

and Lyme disease – all tick-borne 

illnesses.” 

In 2012 the department investigated 

four cases of Lyme disease, 

five of tularemia and one ehrlichiosis. 

All four cases of Lyme disease 

had out-of state tick exposure. 

The Ioxdes deer tick that carries 

Lyme disease prefers heavily 

forested areas in Wisconsin and 

Minnesota, so most areas of South 

Dakota are not suitable habitat for 

the species. 

A 2011 tick survey conducted by 

Dr. Michael Hildreth, a professor 

in the departments of Biology and 

Microbiology and Veterinary and 

Biomedical Science at SDSU did 

not find deer ticks in the locations 

tested. 

However, a deer tick was sent to 

Dr. Buyung Hadi, SDSU Extension 

Urban Entomologist last fall 

from Roberts County in northeastern 

South Dakota. 

To determine whether deer ticks 

are becoming established in the 

state, individuals finding ticks are 

encouraged to send specimens for 

identification to Dr. Hadi at: 

Dr. Buyung Hadi, Pesticide Ed- 

Scouts and wrangler Jack Gravatt 

made it their mission to mark the 

grave and care for it. The group 

went in on horseback and spent 

four days in the badlands. A headstone 

was placed at the grave and 

a fence was constructed to keep 

the Buffalo away. 

When Howard Tyree passed

away at the age of 88 in 2005, he 

was cremated and his ashes were 

given to his family. His obituary 

states, he was interned in the 

Tyree Basin, Badlands National 

Park. 

No matter the distance or time, 

family will always find their way 

home. 

The prairie dog town that LeRoy 

Wyant remembered has been 

wiped out by the plague. The only 

evidence of anyone who settled 

there is a tiny grave surrounded by 

Badlands.

Huether for allowing me to park

Tick samples should be sent 

within a small bottle sealed with 

tape. DO NOT crush the sample 

or put the tick on tape. 

Make sure that your name, 

phone number and date of submission 

are attached to the bottle. 

If sending the sample via post, 

pack the vial in a padded envelope 

or cardboard containers. 

Ticks will be identified but not 

tested for Lyme disease. 

The 2011 tick survey did find 

plentiful numbers of Dermacentor 

dog ticks. While the dog tick 

doesn’t carry Lyme disease, it does 

transmit Rocky Mountain Spotted 

Fever, tularemia and ehrlichiosis, 

so people should protect themselves 

from this tick species 

Tick bites are usually painless 

and appear as a small red bump 

with a bright red halo. 

To remove an attached tick, use 

tweezers or a tissue and pull 

slowly and steadily, being careful 

not to crush it. Then apply antiseptic 

to the site to prevent infection. 

If you use bare hands to remove 

a tick, wash your hands thoroughly 

with warm water and soap. 

Avoid touching your eyes before 

washing. 

Tick-borne illness symptoms include 

sudden onset of a moderateto-high 

fever, stiff neck, deep muscle 

pain, arthritis, fatigue, severe 

headache, chills, a rash on the 

arms and legs or around the site of 

the bite, and swollen lymph nodes, 

particularly in the neck. If you develop 

any of these symptoms after 

a tick bite, see your doctor. With 

Rocky Mountain spotted fever the 

illness does not start immediately 

after the tick bite, but typically 

five to 10 days after the tick attachment. 

When outdoors, repel ticks by 

tucking your pants into your socks 

and spraying clothes and any exposed 

skin with a tick repellent. 

Other precautions include: 

•Check frequently for ticks 

when outside, especially the scalp 

and folds of skin. Ticks need to be 

attached for several hours to 

spread infection so you can significantly 

cut your risk by checking 

for and removing ticks right away. 

•Check small children thoroughly 

and often for ticks when 

they've been outside or have had 

contact with pets or livestock that 

may have ticks. 

•Ask your veterinarian about 

appropriate insecticides and collars 

to protect pets from ticks and 

limit the number they carry into 

the home. For added protection, 

apply insecticides and tick repellents 

to your pet's bedding. 

•Check your animals frequently 

for ticks. To remove ticks from animals, 

apply constant traction with 

forceps or tweezers. If you must 

use your fingers, wear disposable 

gloves then wash hands thoroughly 

with soap and water.

diseases can be found on the

General William S. Harney 

Pennington County Courant • June 6, 2013 • Page 2 

Letters to the Editor 

Gen. William S. Harney and his 

men swept through the heart of 

Lakota country in the fall of 1855. 

Harney was one of the bestknown 

military figures in the 

United States between the War of 

1812 and the War Between the 

States. 

He chased the last remaining pirates 

of Jean Lafitte in Louisiana, 

fought in the Black Hawk War, led 

the cavalry in the Mexican War, almost 

caused a war with Great 

Britain in the Pacific Northwest 

and was both a fighter and peacemaker 

with American Indians. 

He was at Fort Laramie in 

southeast Wyoming when he was 

called upon to assert the might of 

the United States government 

against American Indians. 

In 1854, a group of Mormons 

that was headed west left a lame 

cow untethered at Fort Laramie. 

American Indians killed the cow 

for food. Lt. J.L. Grattan led 29 

men from Fort Laramie to the Indian 

camp to find the guilty party. 

Negotiations grew heated, and a 

shot was fired. The result was the 

death of all the soldiers and the beginning 

of some 30 years of intermittent 

warfare on the northern 

plains. 

Harney was sent to avenge the 

killing of the soldiers. He and his

men arrived at Ash Hollow along 

the North Platte River in presentday 

Garden County, Neb., on Sept. 

2, 1855, where Little Thunder’s 

Brulé band was camped. Although 

Little Thunder and other American 

Indian leaders came forward 

with a white flag, Harney refused 

to talk peace with them, nor did he 

shake Little Thunder’s outstretched 

hand. 

As the American Indian leaders 

disappeared from sight, Harney 

ordered the infantry to charge. In 

the end, four soldiers and 86 American 

Indians, including women and 

children, were killed. Seventy 

more American Indians, mostly 

women and children, were taken 

prisoner. 

Harney returned to Fort 

Laramie, but realized he had intimidated 

only a portion of the 

Lakota with this show of force. He 

and about 425 troops left on Sept. 

29, 1855, for Fort Pierre. 

The federal government had recently 

purchased the former fur 

trading post north of the presentday 

town of Fort Pierre. 

Harney and his men arrived at 

Fort Pierre in a sleet and snowstorm 

on Oct. 20, only to find dilapidated 

buildings and no nearby 

hay and wood . 

Harney abandoned Fort Pierre 

in 1857. Before doing so, he had 

called a peace council that included 

all the western bands of 

Lakota. 

A treaty was negotiated which 

for the first time provided an Indian 

police force to preserve the 

peace. The treaty was rejected by 

the U.S. Senate. 

While still at Fort Pierre, Harney 

also found a suitable site for a 

fort along the Missouri River. He 

 

 

courant@gwtc.net

County Courant 

established Fort Randall about 110 

miles by river above Yankton. Fort 

Randall was a strategic site in 

western frontier defense. 

In order to end fighting throughout 

the Great Plains, Congress established 

the Indian Peace Commission 

of 1867. Harney served on 

this commission. American Indians 

he had fought now saw him 

come to make peace. 

During the councils, Harney became 

the defender of American Indians. 

He stressed their need for 

food and clothing. 

He was later placed in charge of 

the administrative district known 

as the Great Sioux Reservation. 

This included all the land west of 

the Missouri River in present-day 

South Dakota.

Conservation Stewardship Program 

applications due by June 14 

The Natural Resources Conservation 

Service’s Conservation 

Stewardship Program (CSP) will 

provide about $175 million in 

funding for up to 12.6 million additional 

acres enrollment this year. 

Although applications are accepted 

all year, farmers, ranchers 

and forestland owners interested 

in CSP should submit applications 

by June 14 to their local NRCS office 

to ensure they are considered 

for this year’s funding. The deadline 

was extended from May 31. 

“CSP is different than our other 

financial assistance programs,” 

said NRCS Acting Chief Jason 

Weller. “It offers payments to producers 

who maintain a high level 

of conservation on their land and 

agree to adopt higher levels of 

stewardship. It’s about conservation 

activities on the entire operation, 

focusing on multiple resource 

concerns.” 

South Dakota CSP Coordinator, 

Jessica Michalski, states “CSP has 

been an extremely successful program 

in South Dakota. Many SD 

producers are interested in continuing 

a tradition of improving our 

states’ natural resources and increasing 

productivity of their operations 

by enrolling in this voluntary 

program.” 

Playing a significant part in conserving 

and improving our nation’s 

resources, producers enrolled an 

additional 12.1 million acres in 

CSP last year, bringing the total 

number of acres to more than 50 

million. South Dakota currently 

has over 1100 contracts totaling 

more than 2.9 million acres. 

Many of the CSP enhancements 

improve soil quality, which helps 

land become more resilient to extreme 

weather. Several other improvements 

are available for producers, 

including intensive rotational 

grazing, intercropping and 

wildlife friendly fencing. 

Because of the extreme weather 

in 2012, more interest and participation 

in the cover crop enhancements 

is expected this year, according 

to NRCS experts. 

A CSP self-screening checklist is 

available to help producers determine 

if the program is suitable for 

their operation. The checklist 

highlights basic information about 

CSP eligibility requirements, stewardship 

threshold requirements 

and payment types.

A Letter to America 

America is headed straight towards 

destruction. And this destruction 

will come as a judgment 

from God. This judgment can only 

be averted is we seek God and turn 

ourselves and our country around. 

Responsibility for the ungodliness 

which now prevails in our 

great country belongs to each one 

of us. But why me, you are probably 

thinking, to yourself. Because 

God says so! You see, God is going 

to hold us responsible for everything. 

For what we have done and 

for what we have failed to do. 

In the Word of God (the Holy 

Bible) it says, “Let us hear the conclusion 

of the whole matter: Fear 

God, and keep his commandments; 

for this is the whole duty of man” 

(Ecclesiastes 12:13). 

We failed our duty in many different 

ways! 

We stood by as our nation was 

being corrupted and perverted, 

and we let ungodliness seep into 

every aspect of our lives. Everything 

which God considers abomination 

is now accepted in America. 

Some of our political leaders 

now brazenly support things 

which God Almighty called wicked 

and abominable.

Governor’s Mansion tours to resume 

The third season of free weekly 

tours at the South Dakota Governor’s 

Mansion will begin next 

month. 

First Lady Linda Daugaard said 

she and the Governor are happy to 

again open the home on the shore 

of Capitol Lake to the public. 

“This home was built not only as 

a place for governors and their 

families to live, but also as a South 

Dakota showcase for others to 

enjoy,” Mrs. Daugaard said. “We 

are pleased to welcome those who 

wish to take the tour.” 

Tickets for mansion tours must 

be obtained in advance from the 

Pierre Chamber of Commerce. 

Beginning June 5, weekly public 

Here’s a recap on what occurred 

throughout the Rapid City community 

Wednesday, May 29 

evening/night: 

•Flash flooding around 7:30 

p.m. throughout the Arrowhead 

Drainage Basin (along Sheridan 

Lake Rd.) – streets and driveways 

were impassible for a short period 

of time 

•Pennington County Sheriff 

Deputies, Rapid City Police Officers, 

Rapid City Firefighters, and 

Emergency Management patrolled 

known trouble spots and monitored 

the local drainages 

•The Rapid City / Pennington 

County Emergency Operations 

Center was activated to support 

agency responses 

•Runoff from the Jackson Boulevard 

Drainage Basin followed an 

atypical path into the Midwestern 

subdivision (Judy Ave. area) resulting 

in broken basement windows 

and basement flooding in a 

few homes. The Rapid City Fire 

Department and Red Cross addressed 

the immediate issues 

•Around 8:30 p.m. water was up 

three feet against Meadowbrook 

School at Argyle Street 

•When the flows at Founders 

Park reach approx. 800 cubic feet 

per second, the Water Rescue 

Team assembles a squad and begins 

a roving patrol around known 

trouble spots 

•Many groups of spectators 

standing along the edge of the 

water in the dark were encouraged 

to keep away from the creek 

•Rapid Creek crested in Rapid 

City around 9 p.m. with a flow of 

1,180 cubic feet per second and a 

depth of about 7.5 feet (earlier in 

the day the creek was steady at 25

They are either not knowledgeable 

in God’s word, or are defying 

God. 

The Holy Bible shows what happened 

to nations who dared to defy 

God, or that got so morally depraved 

that God finally destroyed 

them. 

So we need to admit that America 

is morally and spiritually corrupt, 

and that it is time to turn 

back to God. As a start, turn the 

TV off, and then close your eyes, 

sit back, take a few deep breathes, 

and relax for a few minutes without 

thinking. 

Then believe the Bible truth 

that there is a living God, our Creator, 

who created everything that 

was created and made, including 

you, and that He loves you. 

On a clear night, go outside 

where it is dark and look at the 

moon, stars, and the never-ending 

universe. Everything you see before 

you, stands, on God’s Word. 

God wants us to love him, obey 

him, and serve him, in return for 

the life he has given us. To get to 

know God, read the Word of God, 

the Holy Bible, from beginning to 

end.

Rapid City area flooding event 

cubic feet per second and 3.5 feet 

deep) 

•Some of the heaviest rainfall 

occurred in drainage basins that 

feed into Rapid Creek after it 

passes under E. St. Pat. and before 

it gets to South Valley Drive – the 

flows at South Valley Drive were 

significant and several homes in 

the Melody Acres subdivision 

(Melody Lane area) were evacuated 

by the Rapid Valley Fire Department 

and the Water Rescue 

Team. The Red Cross was receiving 

and processing displaced residents 

at the Family Thrift Center 

on E. St. Pat. 

•Rapid Creek crested at South 

Valley Drive around 11 p.m. at 

over 15.5 feet deep. 

•By 12:30 a.m. the next morning 

the Water Rescue Team was released 

from the South Valley area 

as the water was subsiding 

•Around 12:45 a.m., the Rapid 

Valley Fire Department notified 

residents in the Green Valley 

Drive area that the high water was 

moving through their area, no 

evacuations were made 

Communication and coordination 

were superb during this event. 

While there was some property 

damage, there were no injuries. 

This event highlights how rapidly 

conditions in our local 

drainages can become menacing, 

however it also highlights the phenomenal 

interagency working rel 

a t i o n s h i p s , c o m m u n i c a t i o n 

processes, specialized training, 

and proper equipment that can be 

brought to bear during emergency 

situations in our community.

The 2013 track season 

has come to a close 

By Coach Patterson 

The State B track meet was held 

May 24th and 25th at Howard 

Wood in Sioux Falls. 

The track squad of Taran Eisenbraun, 

Tyler Trask, Nathan Patterson, 

Laketon McLaughlin, Tyler 

Peterson, Austin Huether, Sadie 

O'Rourke, Tayah Huether, Monica 

Bielmaier, Anika Eisenbraun, Autumn 

Schulz and Maddi Bauer 

competed well. 

Friday was a cool, cloudy day 

along with a 45 minute lightning 

delay. 

A. Eisenbraun, Bielmaier, T. 

Huether, and O'Rourke ran the 

400M Relay with a time of 58.60 

for 15th. 

Then O'Rourke ran the 100 

Meter Dash in a 13.22 for 12th, 

the 200 Meter Dash in a 27.65 for 

10th, and the 400 Meter Run in 

1:02.23 for ninth. 

T. Huether ran the open 800 in 

2:28.10 for ninth. 

Schulz threw the discus 87' 7" 

for 16th and on Saturday, the shot 

put 34' 4" for 16th place. 

Bauer had a no height in the 

pole vault. 

The boys on Friday had Trask 

and Patterson running the 100 

Meter Dash. Trask ran an 11.70 for 

16th and Patterson 11.74 for 17th. 

Peterson placed ninth in the 

long jump with a leap of 19' 2.25" 

and McLaughlin threw the discus 

115' 11" for 16th. 

The 800 Relay consisting of T. 

Eisenbraun, Peterson, Patterson, 

and Trask ran a 1:38.52 for 13th. 

Saturday was a cool day, but 

with sunshine. 

A. Huether ran the 1600 for 

17th in a 5:02.13. 

Then Peterson leaped 41' 3.5" to 

place second in the triple jump.

McLaughlin heaved the shot put 

46'.00" for fifth place. 

Coach's Comments: The athletes 

performed well with good 

times against tough competition. 

O’Rourke just missed out in the 

400 for medaling. Her time was 

1:02.23 and eighth was 1:02.20. It 

came down to the lean. 

T. Huether was close as well 

with eighth place at 2:27.98 and 

her time of 2:28.10. 

The relay teams gave it their all 

with good hand offs and running 

hard. Trask and Patterson ran 

hard, as well as A. Huether in 

their open events. 

Bauer attempted the opening 

height in pole vault coming so 

close clearing it. It was not meant 

to be that day. 

T. Eisenbraun, Bielmaier and A. 

Eisenbraun ran their legs of the 

relays well at the meet. 

T. Eisenbraun is an excellent 

starter and will do well in college 

track. 

Schulz threw both days to end 

her career as a dual sport qualifier 

in track and golf during her high 

school years. 

McLaughlin and Peterson made 

it on the medal stand in their 

events. It is quite a deal to have 

two athletes medal at the state 

meet. 

The top 16 plus athletes from 

across the state are there and competition 

is tough. 

Congratulations to all the Wall 

athletes. You made us proud.

Wall News 

Gathered by Frances Poste 

Seemed like last week went by 

quickly. must have been because of 

two Sundays (Memorial Day 

seemed like a Sunday, too.) wasn’t 

the rain wonderful?! We needed it 

and it didn’t come with a lot of 

wind, soaked into the thirsty 

ground. 

A lot of obituaries have been 

listed in the paper again. They included 

Phyllis Kochersberger (59) 

died May 25; Rosie Lejaune (94) 

died may 23; Laura Morgan (102) 

died May 28. We offer our condolences 

to all of their families and 

friends. 

Theme Meal was held on Friday 

at Prairie Village with 32 attending, 

a few more than last month. 

Heard the menu was different and 

very tasty. 

Election Day in Wall is June 4th 

but the only thing to vote on is for 

a councilman for Ward I. So if you 

are not a resident of that ward, 

you have no vote. 

Last week, Stan and Alice Mettler, 

along with brother Dick and 

Carol Mettler, traveled to 

Dubuque, Iowa, to witness the installation 

of their nephew Bishop 

Michael Owen Jackels as the 10th 

Arch Bishop of Dubuque. The impressive 

ceremony was held before 

an audience of 1200 (invited only) 

guests. The Arch Bishop was employed 

as a chore boy at Wall Drug 

when he was a 16 year old, about 

1970. 

Jim and Leila Joyce of Custer 

came to Wall on Friday and took 

Frances Poste along with them to 

Philip to attend the funeral of Jim 

Dean. Jim was a cousin of Leila. It 

is always nice to visit family you 

haven’t seen in awhile; just sad 

that a funeral is the time they get 

together. Plan a family reunion. 

Bruce Swan’s mother, Lois of 

Newell, is in Wall visiting Bruce 

and Kathy for a few days. They 

were in Custer on Saturday to take 

in the “Grand Magic Show” at 

Bedrock City, Flintstone Village. 

Laura is a part of the show as she 

was last year, too. Sounds like fun! 

Rob Smart of Alaska, was in 

Wall on Sunday attending church. 

He is staying in Rapid City with 

Orlin and Lourine Winkowitsch to 

help care for Orlin. Earlier Orlin 

had spent some time in the hospital 

with pneumonia and had the 

misfortune to fall while there, injuring 

his back. He has been home 

for awhile. We send our “get well” 

messages out to him. 

The Regional High School Rodeo 

took place this past weekend in 

Wall. Looked to be quite a muddy 

mess in the beginning. But one 

thing — each contestant had the 

same disadvantage. 

According to Deb Bryan, plans 

are underway for the Badlands 

Alumni reunion in Wall on July 

12th. We’ll keep you posted. 

Vacation Bible School was a 

huge success at the Methodist 

Church last week — Tuesday

worked to make this possible. 

Carl and Jan Hill and grandson

City on Sunday, playing tourists. 

They visited with Gerald and Esther

Colorado was beautiful and the 

Willey family gathering was great 

fun. It is traditionally held at a little 

red, one room school house built 

in 1897. It is a simple affair, pot 

luck style with everyone bringing 

their own chairs. The countryside 

was so green and lush. The western 

slope has had good moisture 

throughout winter and spring. As 

we have not been since 2009, we 

had some catching up to do. From 

new babies to college graduates, 

the scene changes yearly. They are 

a fine group of cousins and we all 

helped Violet Willey Goodsell 

Mooney celebrate her 90th birthday. 

She keeps up with garden, 

kids, grandkids and great-grandkids 

and works two hours every 

morning five days a week just so 

she doesn’t get lazy! 

I want to be just like Violet when 

I grow up! 

News around Wasta? Louis Rancour 

has graduated from kindergarten, 

Thursday, the 23rd. He 

said he was definitely looking forward 

to first grade, and expects 

yearly graduations. 

On Wednesday, the 22nd, a 

meeting was held at the Wasta 

Post Office for the decision regarding 

service there. The consensus of 

those returning the questionnaire 

sent out by U.S.P.S. was a majority 

in favor of shortened hours, which 

will be 7:30-11:30 a.m., Monday 

through Friday and hours on Saturday 

the same as the present Saturday 

hours. 

Tuesday some familiar faces 

were spotted strolling up “B” 

street. Natalee and Kylee Smid 

with Aunt Lisa Smid were returning 

from the post office with two 

huge and protective doggies kept 

under control by Natalee. Actually, 

the dogs are cute and friendly chihuahuas. 

Natalee was quick to 

share that she passed first grade 

and will be a second grader, that 

school was fun and she was returning 

with Aunt Lisa to Phoenix for 

six weeks! Baby sister Kylee isn’t 

going as she is too little! They will 

get to see a lot of people and have 

fun at Sea World and the San 

Diego Zoo. Natalee is always fun to 

visit with. 

Grandparents, Kyle and Doreen 

and Uncle Dayton Skillingstad 

have been enjoying a family vacation 

at Desert Ridge Resort close to 

Scottsdale, Ariz. 

Doreen and Kyle have added a 

mud room entry to their house and 

some sidewalks. Doreen said she 

wouldn’t have believed how excited 

she could get about sidewalks and 

cement! 

Dayton’s baseball schedule is 

still unknown but the team has 

begun playing. 

Moni Grenstiner will have surgery 

on her knee Friday, the 7th, 

so she may be laid up for a short 

time, but knowing Moni she will 

find a way to get around. 

Grenstiner girls are taking a 

hunter safety course in Sturgis 

with Uncle Ty Grenstiner driving 

them to and from. They will learn 

gun safety called the Ten Commandments 

of Safety. This class is 

mandatory for any hunters wanting 

to be licensed who are under 

age 18. We know these girls are 

sportsman and enjoy hunting with 

their dad and mom so congratulations 

to the Grenstiners for seeing 

this important step is taken. 

Checking in with RoseMary 

Trask we are told that Celine is 

still recovering so very well from 

her serious accident last December. 

RoseMary said Celine can ride 

an adult size three wheeler trike, 

and can do several turns around 

an area about a block square. “It 

definitely helps to be able to go 

outside and do something” says 

RoseMary of this determined 

daughter. Celine was also able to 

do all of her school work at home 

and knows now she passed into 

11th grade! 

You have our admiration, Celine, 

and would love it if you would 

ride that trike in Wasta’s July 4th 

parade. Your courage and determination 

is amazing! 

The Wall school had its elementary 

school awards Thursday, the 

23rd of May and some Wasta kids 

to be mentioned are: 

Samantha Rancour - Perfect attendance 

for the second year in a 

row. Dad, Tom Rancour, hinted 

that she didn’t let tummy ache or 

a little nose sniffle keep her home. 

This girl wanted perfect attendance! 

Other awards and participation 

recognition went to: 

Ash Grenstiner - Principal’s 

Honor Roll, President’s Gold 

Honor Roll;

Elm Springs News 

Submitted by Shirrise Linn 

The Elm Springs area has welcomed 

4.39“ of rain for the month 

of May. Things are beautiful, 

green, lush, and wonderful. The 

brandings and trailing to summer 

pasture are running a little 

behind schedule, but there hasn’t 

been a lot of complaining. Thank 

Heaven for the rain!!! 

The news is short this week as 

everyone is busy finishing the 

cattle work so spring planting 

can resume and hay season can 

begin. 

Freddie Ferguson reports he’s 

done not much more than play in 

the creek fixing flooded out fence 

- no complaints though. 

Charlotte and Katie Wilsey 

visited John and Jean Linn’s, 

Sunday. 

Kassandra Linn enjoyed movie 

night at Pat and RoseMary 

Trask’s, Monday night. Laken 

Years ago I had a boss who nearly 

every day would say to me, "Results! 

Just get me the results!" He did not 

want to hear about all the stuff and 

fluff of my daily activities; he just 

wanted the results from my activities. 

He was a pretty tough boss, but 

he did teach me of the importance of 

getting results. 

According to Wikipedia, "result" is 

defined as the final consequence of 

a sequence of actions or events 

(broadly incidents and accidents) expressed 

qualitatively or quantitatively, 

being a loss, injury, disadvantage, 

advantage, gain, victory or 

simply a value. There may be a 

range of possible outcomes associated 

with an event possibly depending 

on the point of view, historical 

distance or relevance. Put simply, a 

result is simply the outcome or consequences 

of something. 

As we all come to find out sooner 

or later, there are always results, 

but the results we get are not always 

what we had hoped for. I have 

found that when people don't get the 

results they wanted there is usually 

something that has gotten in their 

way, such as: 

•Laziness 

•Lack of focus

Just Get Me Results 

•Fear 

•Stress and anxiety 

•Priorities being out of whack 

•Timing isn't right 

This list, of course, is far from 

complete. You may have to do a little 

soul-searching to find out what exactly 

is keeping you from getting the 

results you desire from all your activity. 

"Getting the job done is job one" 

may be your motto, but it is vital 

that you define the results you are 

after, in the initial stages of the action 

process. It is always a good idea 

to take the necessary time to clarify 

your goals and objectives. Remind 

yourself that results do not just happen 

by osmosis, and that there is no 

magic or easy way to get things 

done. If you want results, you are 

going to have to work for it! Sometimes 

results require that you work 

very hard until the job is done! Another 

thing-be sure that the things 

you are doing are actually moving 

you closer to achieving your desired 

results. After all, if what you are 

doing is taking you in the wrong direction, 

you will probably not reach 

your destination. 

Results come from action-consistent 

daily actions. Awesome results 

are the by-product of planning, 

tenacity, enthusiasm, commitment, 

and ultimately taking action. I know 

you've heard me say it before, and I 

will continue to say it: Take Action 

and you become! 

From personal experience, I can 

say that once the intended results 

are achieved, standing back and reviewing 

the results of your activity 

is a very pleasurable experience. 

Even the mistakes you corrected 

and the challenges you have tenaciously 

overcome along the way add 

to your ultimate satisfaction. 

In conclusion, bringing everything 

to a productive closure is exactly 

what I am doing right now with you. 

Now that you have received your 

"motivation" your time, energy, and 

money now needs to be invested in 

some productive and profitable activities 

that do not include reading 

any more of this article. “Smile!”

Carol Ruth Borelson, age 78, of 

Kadoka, S.D., formerly of Rapid

the Kadoka Nursing Home. 

Carol Ruth Borelson was born 

October 13, 1934 at New Underwood, 

the third daughter of Tobias 

“Toby” and Christine (Matthews) 

Borelson. The family resided in 

New Underwood for a while. After 

the accidental death of Carol’s oldest 

sister, Lorraine, the family 

moved to their Rapid City area 

ranch. 

Carol grew up on the family 

ranch and after her parents death, 

she continued to reside on the 

ranch with her sister and care 

giver, Dorothy Borelson. On September 

23, 2009 Carol moved into 

the Kadoka Nursing Home, because 

of the failing health of her 

sister, Dorothy. Carol continued to 

reside at the nursing home until 

her death. 

Carol was baptized into the 

Catholic faith. 

Grateful for having shared her 

life are her guardian, Robert “Bob”

Linda Kramer__________________________________ 

Linda Kramer, age 67, of Philip, 

S.D., died April 6, 2013, at St. 

Joseph Hospital in Tucson, Ariz. 

Linda Lee Long was born September 

25, 1945, to Orville (Tim) 

and Mathilda (Tillie) Long. She 

was raised on the family farm near 

Philip. She was baptized and confirmed 

at Philip's Our Redeemer 

Lutheran Church. As a young girl, 

she looked forward to finishing her 

daily chores so she could spend 

time with her sister, Sally, swim in 

the stock dams, fish, and visit her 

many cousins. After graduating 

from Philip High School, she attended 

the American Business College 

in Rapid City and earned a degree 

in business administration. 

She married John (Jack) Still in 

1967, who passed away in a plane 

crash in 1968. 

In June 1970, she married 

Danny Kramer in Davenport, Iowa. 

During their careers, they had the 

opportunity to reside in a number 

of states, including Illinois, Iowa, 

Michigan, Washington and California. 

During her career, Linda 

achieved significant success in both 

the banking and mortgage industries. 

Following retirement, Linda 

and Danny moved from Moorpark, 

Calif., to Burlington, Iowa. In 2007, 

they purchased a motor home so 

they could spend more time visiting 

family and friends around the 

country. In June 2012, they sold 

their home in Burlington to follow 

their dream of becoming full-time 

RV'ers. In her retirement, Linda 

enjoyed reading, golfing, genealogy, 

water aerobics and coin collecting 

but most of all, she relished spending 

time with her five grandchildren 

and, as she put it, "making 

memories." 

Grateful for having shared 

Linda's life include her husband, 

Danny Kramer, of Philip; her son, 

John (Tonya) Kramer of Philip; her 

son, Jason (Penelope) Kramer of 

Corona, Calif.; five grandchildren, 

Coy, Corbin and Colden (Philip); 

Kaylee and Zachery (Corona); sister, 

Sally (Arthur) Campbell of Port 

Washington, Wis.; and a host of 

other relatives and friends. 

She was preceded in death by 

her parents; a brother, Arnold; and 

her first husband. 

According to her wishes, her 

body was cremated. 

Memorial services will be held at 

2:00 p.m. on Friday, June 14, at the 

First Lutheran Church in Philip, 

with Pastor Frezil Westerlund officiating. 

In lieu of flowers, memorials 

may be directed to the American 

Lung Association.

May Mednansky________________________________ 

May Mednansky, age 91 of 

White River, S.D., died Thursday, 

May 30, 2013, at the Maryhouse in 

Pierre. 

Juanita “May” Shouldis Mednansky 

was born to Charles and 

Mary A. (Atkins) Shouldis, December 

12, 1921, in Mellette County. 

May married Clarence Mednansky 

in Valentine, Neb., September 

16, 1940. Three children were born 

to this union: Audrey (Ed) Burnette, 

Pierre, Rodney (Oleta) Mednansky 

and Janice Ellis, White 

River. From there the family grew 

to include grandchildren, Angela 

(David) Aud, Great Mills, Md., Guy 

(Michele) Burnette, California, 

Md., Sonya (Josh) Feaster, Tucson, 

Ariz., Justin (Dena) Mednansky, 

Richard Mednansky and Duane 

Mednansky, White River, Chad 

(Margarita) Ellis, Mexico, and Tricia 

Shedeed, Otter Tail, Minn.; 

great-grandchildren, Joey, Brandy, 

Bailey, Sage, Taylor, Sharissa, Ashton, 

Logan, Justin, Kade, Alexandra, 

Michelle, Nathan, Lauren, 

Kaise, Adam, Matthew, James and 

Alana; and proud to have Nova 

Maylynn as her great-great-granddaughter. 

May barely answered to being 

called Juanita but loved being 

called Mom, Grandma, Grandma 

Great, Aunt or Auntie May. May 

sometimes spelled with an “e”, 

sometimes with a “y”, just to keep 

us on our toes. When asked about 

doing something here lately, her 

come back would be, “Well, I’m 

ONLY 91!” She loved her family 

and friends, going to the grandkids’ 

programs, concerts and games. She 

loved seeing the sun and moon rise 

and set, working with the livestock, 

admiring the birds and flowers and 

all that nature provided. 

May was a sweet, hardworking, 

quiet country girl. She worked side 

by side with Clarence on the farm/ 

ranch as well as maintaining the 

house and preparing the greatest 

meals. The farm was a vacation 

spot to many nieces and nephews 

growing up and later to her grandchildren. 

Moving from “home” to 

town was a big adjustment for both 

May and Clarence. 

After moving to town, she enjoyed 

bird watching and neighbor 

watching! She knew what every 

bird was and what every neighbor 

was doing. She was looking forward 

to sitting on her new deck 

this summer and had plans for 

flowers she would be able to enjoy 

as she soaked up the sunshine. 

May loved playing canasta, 

solitare, embroidering and crocheting. 

May embroidered towels that 

are raffled off at the Mednansky 

family reunion and has them ready 

for this year! 

May was an active and proud

Power Perfected In weakness 

Posted By Pastor Cornelius R. Stam 

To Paul was committed the greatest revelation of all time. He was divinely commissioned 

to proclaim the glorious all-sufficiency of Christ’s redemptive work, God’s offer 

of salvation by free grace to all who trust in Christ and their heavenly position, blessings 

and prospect. 

Lest he should become puffed up by the glory of these great truths, God gave him 

what he calls “a thorn in the flesh”, an aggravating physical infirmity of some sort. “For 

this thing,” he says, “I besought the Lord thrice [three times], that it might depart from 

me” (IICor.12:8). But the Lord knew better than Paul what was best for him: 

“And He said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee; for My strength is made 

perfect in weakness” (Ver.9). 

How right God was! Every Christian knows that with brimming health and “good fortune” 

comes the tendency to forget our need of Him, while infirmity causes us to lean 

harder and to pray more and this is where our spiritual power lies. Every believer should 

acknowledge this and say with Paul: 

“Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of 

Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities…for when I 

am weak, then am I strong” (IICor.12:9,10). 

Infirmities of the flesh are common even to God’s choicest saints. What satisfaction 

there is, then, in just believing God’s Word: “My grace is sufficient for thee, for My 

strength is made perfect in weakness”.

A vote by the Pennington County 

Board of Commissioners on May 

21, 2013 changed the minimum 

acreage criteria for an agricultural 

classification for property tax purposes 

in Pennington County, SD. 

South Dakota codified law 10-6- 

31.3 lists 3 criteria required for an 

agricultural property tax classification. 

This law allows the county 

commission to set the minimum 

acreage required between 20 acres 

and 160 acres. The previous minimum 

acreage in Pennington 

County was 40 acres. This change 

will possibly affect the 2014 property 

tax classification for properties 

currently classified as agricultural 

for property tax purposes. This is 

not a zoning classification and only 

affects property assessment and 

taxes. 

SDCL 10-6-31.3 requires any 2 of 

the 3 criteria be met for an agricultural 

classification. This change in 

the minimum acreage will require 

that agricultural classed properties 

below 160 acres meet the principal 

use and income criterion. Those requirements 

are, in summary, that 

the principal use of the property be 

agricultural production for intended 

profit and that one third of 

the owner’s total family gross income 

be derived from agricultural 

production. 

The office of the Pennington 

County Director of Equalization 

will notify, in writing, all property 

owners who might be affected by 

this change in classification. This 

notice will be mailed in the fall of 

2013 and will request information 

relating to qualification for the 

agricultural classification. Property 

owners should expect to provide 

information identifying total 

owned acres, percentage of gross 

income derived from agricultural 

production, and principal use of the 

property. This information will be 

used in determining the 2014 assessment 

for taxes paid in 2015. 

Assessment notices mailed near 

March 1, 2014 will detail the 

exact property assessments and 

classifications, and will include instructions 

for appeal. 

For questions regarding this 

change or any property assessment, 

please contact the Pennington 

County Director of Equalization 

at (605) 394-2175 or visit the 

office at 505 Kansas City Street, 

Rapid City, SD.
