Number 33
Volume 107
August 16, 2012
By Governor
Dennis Daugaard
I wrote a couple of weeks ago
about the good news on our state
budget. South Dakota closed its
fiscal year on June 30, 2012, in the
black, with revenues exceeding ex-
penses by $47.8 million. As re-
quired by law, that amount was
transferred to the Budget Reserve,
which brings our total rainy day
funds to 11.2 percent of current
spending.
The next Legislature will be able
to decide whether to save or spend
those dollars. A major reason for
this result is that South Dakotas
economy has recovered from the
recession more quickly than was
projected. Some might argue that,
because of this strong economic
news, we should be quick to spend
the new money.
I take a more cautious approach
because of potential threats on the
horizon. One important threat is
the federal budget. The Budget
Control Act passed by Congress
last fall created a "Super Commit-
tee" charged with finding a partial
solution to unsustainable federal
deficit spending. Because the com-
mittee failed to agree on a plan,
automatic spending cuts of $1.2
trillion over 10 years will take ef-
fect beginning January 2, 2013.
The spending cuts contemplated
next year total $120 billion. It is
important to note that the recent
deal in Congress to further delay a
budget agreement until after the
election does not delay, in any way,
these automatic cuts.
Necessary federal cuts
will cost South Dakota
Congress needs to reduce spend-
ing. Federal spending this fiscal
year will total more than $3.627
trillion. Federal revenue will total
$2.456 trillion. The federal govern-
ment is spending $1.171 trillion
more than it receives this year,
and the national debt currently
stands at $15.9 trillion.
I find it hard to wrap my mind
around trillions of dollars but if
you remove some zeros, you can
translate the federal budget sce-
nario into your household budget:
Your income stands at $24,560 per
year. Your expenses total $36,270
per year. That means you are
spending $11,710 more than you
are earning in a year, and adding
that debt to your credit card. And
the debt on your credit card is al-
ready $159,100.
The total cuts being proposed for
next year would be only $1,200
from this households spending.
Thats an important first step, but
you can see its a long way from
solving the problem.
In order to balance the federal
budget, Congress and the Presi-
dent need to trim more than $1
trillion from annual spending.
The automatic cuts are just $120
billion. And even if they cut $1 tril-
lion in spending and balance the
budget, that would do nothing to
make a dent in the nearly $16 tril-
lion federal debt.
Other governors have called on
Congress to delay making any
cuts, because they are concerned
about the effect on their states. I
dont think we can wait much
longer, though. Although I'm con-
cerned about federal cuts to South
Dakota, I'm more concerned about
our nation's future if we don't get
our budget under control. I will
work with our congressional dele-
gation to make sure South Dakota
is treated fairly, but every state
must do its share.
South Dakota's share of the cuts
that are scheduled for January
would be about $46 million a year.
That is only 2.6 percent of the fed-
eral funding our state receives, but
it would be a sizable amount to re-
place. Our state policymakers will
have decide whether to allow these
federal programs to be shut down
or scaled down, or whether to keep
them going with state tax rev-
enues.
A cut of $46 million in federal
funds to South Dakota could only
be the first step. The current re-
duction contemplated in the
Budget Control Act is a drop in the
bucket compared to what needs to
be done. If Congress made enough
cuts to balance the federal budget,
it would cost South Dakotas
budget an estimated $383 million
per year.
Being $47.8 million in the black
this year wont protect South
Dakota from the tough decisions
that need to be made in Washing-
ton, D.C., during the next several
years. We need to be prepared for
what has to happen. Although
$47.8 million is a large sum, it is
truly paltry in the context of the
fiscal challenges facing our nation
in the years ahead.

Bikes of every kind
fill the streets of Wall
The 72nd annual Sturgis Motor-
cycle Rally officially began on
Monday, August 6.
The streets of Sturgis are lined
with motorcycles but Wall just so
happens to be the stopping place
for a very interesting bike. It looks
like Crocodile Dundee, Jeremiah
Johnson and the Buck Command-
ers got together to build a road kill
bike complete with a buffalo robe
for a seat cover.
The bike features elk horns,
mountain lions, bobcats, skunk,
badger and many other numerous
wildlife parts along with a wig that
lies on the passenge seat.
One can only imagine how many
hunting trips this took to com-
plete.

Helms with the ambulance district
had questions about the lease
agreement for the ambulance.
Hoffman wanted to know if there

sure they were okay with every-
thing. Usage split on utilities and
insurance will be specified in the
lease before it is sent to the attor-
ney.
Sewer issues at 215 W. Fifth

looked at the manholes around
town and the ones over the hill are
in bad condition and need to be re-
placed within the year. Phases for

Social Security News
Question:
How can I get a copy of my So-
cial Security Statement?
Answer:
If you are age 18 or older, you
may get your Social Security
Statement conveniently online at
any time after creating an account
at www.socialsecurity.gov/mys-
tatement. The Statement pro-
vides estimates for retirement,
disability and survivors benefits,
as well as a way to determine
whether your earnings are accu-
rately posted to your Social Secu-
rity record. Social Security sends
paper Social Security Statements
in the mail only to people age 60
and older and, beginning July
2012, to workers the year they
turn 25. If this applies to you, you
should receive your Statement
about two to three months before
your birthday. Also, you can get
an instant, personalized estimate
of your future retirement benefit
using our online Retirement Esti-
mator at www.socialsecurity.gov
/estimator
Question:
My child, who gets Social Secu-
rity, will be attending his last year
of high school in the fall. He turns
19 in a few months. Do I need to
fill out a form for his benefits to
continue?
Answer:
Yes. You should receive a form,
SSA-1372-BK, in the mail about
three months before your sons
birthday. Your son needs to com-
plete the form and take it to his
schools office for certification.
Then, you need to return page two
and the certified page three back
to Social Security for processing.
If you cant find the form we
mailed to you, you can find it on-
line at the following address:
www.socialsecurity.gov/schooloffi-
cials/ssa1372.pdf
Question:
My neighbor, who is retired,
told me that the income he re-
ceives from his part-time job at
the local nursery gives him an in-
crease in his Social Security ben-
efits. Is that right?
Answer:
Retirees who return to work
after they start receiving benefits
may be able to receive a higher
benefit based on those earnings.
This is because Social Security
automatically re-computes the re-
tirement benefit after crediting
the additional earnings to the in-
dividuals earnings record.
Learn more by reading the pub-
lication, How Work Affects Your
Benefits, at www. socialsecurity.
gov/pubs/10069.html
Question:
I plan to retire soon. When are
Social Security benefits paid?
Answer:
Social Security benefits are
paid each month. Generally, new
retirees receive their benefits on
either the second, third, or fourth
Wednesday of each month, de-
pending on the day in the month
the retiree was born. If you re-
ceive benefits as a spouse, your
benefit payment date will be de-
termined by your spouses birth
date.
Heres a chart showing how
your monthly payment date is de-
termined:
Day of the Month You Were
Born - Social Security Benefits
Paid On:
1st-10th - Second Wednesday
11th-20th - Third Wednesday
21st-31st - Fourth Wednesday
For a calendar showing actual
payment dates for 2012, see the
Schedule of Social Security Bene-
fit Payments at www.socialsecu-
rity.gov/pubs/calendar.htm.
Question:
I get Social Security because of
a disability. How often will my
case be reviewed to determine if
Im still eligible?
Answer:
How often we review your med-
ical condition depends on how se-
vere it is and the likelihood it will
improve. Your award notice tells
you when you can expect your
first review using the following
terminology:
Medical improvement ex-
pectedIf your condition is ex-
pected to improve within a spe-
cific time, your first review will be
six to 18 months after you started
getting disability benefits.
Medical improvement possi-
bleIf improvement in your med-
ical condition is possible, your
case will be reviewed about every
three years.
Medical improvement not ex-
pectedIf your medical condition
is unlikely to improve, your case
will be reviewed about once every
five to seven years.
Your Questions, Our Answers
Nobody likes working in front of
a hot oven during the summer. But
if you and your family love
desserts, youll still want to par-
take of sumptuous treats that will
keep you all cool.
According to top dessert experts,
theres a whole world of alterna-
tives to baking for those who suffer
from a year-round sweet tooth.
On hot days, my mind usually
turns to frozen treats such as pop-
sicles or sorbet; for something a bit
more elegant I'll whip up a choco-
late ganache tart with cookie
crust, says Lindsay Landis, au-
thor of the new book, The Cookie
Dough Lovers Cookbook. Landis
has created over fifty recipes using
egg-free cookie dough that is safe
to eat raw.
By repurposing your favorite
desserts for the summer season,
you can take the need for heat out
of the equation. For example, if
you love pie, consider a graham
cracker, whipped cream and can-
died fruit based dessert that can be
created in minutes and served
cold.
And dont forget that one of the
best things about summer is the
abundance of fresh fruit. No mat-
ter what you come up with, adding
a garnish of exotic fresh fruits like
kiwi, pineapple and mango will
wow your guests with a boost of
natural sweetness. Or create a
parfait of frozen yogurt, fresh
strawberries and a variety of nuts.
For a bit of inspiration, try out
this perfect no-bake summer treat

Invisible Cookie Dough Ice

Makes: Four pops
Active time: Five minutes
Total time: Three hours
Great bake-free desserts
ideas for summer
Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups milk (skim, 2 percent, or
whole)
1/3 cup light brown sugar, packed
Pinch salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons mini semisweet
chocolate chips
Directions:
In a microwave-safe container or
glass measuring cup, microwave
milk 30 seconds or until warm to
the touch. Add brown sugar and
salt and stir until dissolved. Add
vanilla.
Place 1/2 tablespoon chocolate
chips in the bottom of each of four
1/3-cup ice-pop molds or small
paper cups. Top each with milk
mixture. Insert sticks and place
molds in freezer. Freeze until solid,
at least three hours.
To release pops, run molds
under warm water 20 to 30 sec-
onds; they should slide right out. If
using paper cups, simply peel cups
away and discard.
If your ice-pop mold does not in-
clude built-in sticks or a lid to hold
them in place, you may find your-
self with sticks pointing every
which way but up. To prevent this,
stretch a layer of plastic wrap over
the top of the mold and secure it
with a rubber band. Cut a small
slit in the plastic, centered over
each pop, and insert a stick
through each opening. Alterna-
tively, you can adjust sticks as nec-
essary after about 45 minutes of
freezing, when the pops arent yet
frozen solid.

You dont need an oven. You just
need ingenuity to create crowd-
pleasing summer treats.

Back-to-school season is the
ideal time for families to reestab-
lish routines and get organized --
both at home and on the go. But
before hitting the stores for sup-
plies, take time to plan ahead with
shopping lists that meet both your
childrens and your familys needs.
There are many great tips to
help get a fresh start on the aca-
demic year ahead:
Save
If you have more than one child,
or want to stock up for the year,
save on items like glue sticks,
notebooks and writing utensils by
taking advantage of sales and pur-
chasing value packs, which are
easy to find at back-to-school time.
For better deals on items like tis-
sues and sanitizing wipes, hold off
until you are also buying these
products for the home at a ware-
Get the whole family organized at back-to-school time
house club or with coupons.
Teach Organization
Teach kids the importance of
starting the day organized. One
way to simplify the morning shuf-
fle is by assigning a color to each
child for easy identification of
binders, backpacks and pencil
pouches. Assign colors before shop-
ping to prepare for easier in-aisle
decisions. Five Star products
(www.meadfivestar.com), for ex-
ample, are available in a variety of
on-trend patterns and basic solid
color options to complement and
contrast styles. Or use color-coded
stickers and labels to maintain
consistency.
Synchronize Schedules
The school year often brings ad-
ditional commitments for families.
Creating a mission control in a
central location in the home will
improve communication and ease
the stress of time management.
Look for calendars with high
functionality like meal planners,
look-ahead features, magnetic
backings and repositionable peel-
and-stick adhesives. Dont forget to
include a white board or cork
board where notes can be left for
one another.
Student planners are crucial to
help your children stay on top of
due dates, keep their own commit-
ments and operate on the same
schedule as the rest of the family.
Vow to spend time on a weekly
basis reviewing and synching cal-
endars and discussing the week
ahead.
Manage Papers
With each new school year
comes an overwhelming amount of
handouts, reminders, permission
slips and medical forms. Parents
and children all benefit from a
paper management system. Use
bins, expanding files and binder
dividers with reminder flags to
keep track of priorities. Flag items
needing immediate attention --
whether its homework or paper-
work.
If your children have busy
schedules, make it easier for them
to work on the go. Opt for binders
with writing surfaces, internal
storage pockets for loose paper and
places to stash pens and pencils.
And you can do the same. Consider
using binders and expanding files
in the car to create a place for last-
minute notes, papers and storage.
With a little planning and cre-
ativity, the whole family can pre-
pare to stay organized throughout
the school year.
A valuable resource for families
and individuals in difficult eco-
nomic circumstances, the Bridge to
Benefits website (www.sdbridgeto-
benefits.com) has been just been
updated. Developed by South
Dakota Voices for Children in part-
nership with the Childrens De-
fense Fund of Minnesota, the site
now includes the latest eligibility
requirements for benefit pro-
grams.
Research that shows poverty as
the single greatest threat to chil-
drens well-being prompted devel-
opment of the Bridge to Benefits
site. Living in poverty can con-
tribute to social, emotional and be-
havioral problems among children
as well as poor physical and men-
tal health. Risks are greatest for
children who experience poverty
when they are young and/or face
deep and persistent poverty.
On the other hand, economic se-
curity, safe, affordable housing,
health care, nutrition and quality
education all help children to
flourish. Tax credits and benefit
programs were created as a step
Reclamation will be increasing
water releases from Shadehill
Reservoir through Labor Day to
draw down the reservoir to allow
contractors to begin shore protec-
tion work at Ketterlings Point.
Water releases will range be-
tween 40 cubic feet per second (cfs)
and 160 cfs, depending on weather
and inflows into the reservoir.
Reclamation will partner with
South Dakota Game Fish, and
Parks to coordinate recreation ac-
tivities and complete the shoreline
protection work at Ketterlings
Point.
According to Jeff Nettleton,
Chief of Facility Operation and
Maintenance and Engineering
Services for Reclamations Dako-
tas Area Office, the shore protec-
tion contract at Shadehill Reser-
voir will start after Labor Day and
be completed this fall
The present water surface ele-
vation at Shadehill Reservoir is
2,264.3, said Nettleton. The
water elevation will need to be
drawn down to 2,263.5 by Labor
Day to allow the contractor to in-
stall riprap protection along the
shoreline of Ketterlings Point
Recreation Area.
Jim Straight, District Park
Manager for Shadehill Recreation
Area, South Dakota Game, Fish
and Parks, stated that the boat
ramps at Ketterlings Point and
the West Cabin area are open and
will remain open as the water level
is drawn down.

mations South Dakota Reservoirs

Stirling Family Hits 15 Year
Milestone in Assisting Families.
Cowboys and cowgirls through-
out the region will round up with
unique purpose for the 15th an-
nual Stirling Family Memorial
Ranch Rodeo to be held at the
Stanley County Fairgrounds in
Fort Pierre, S.D. on Saturday, Sep-
tember 22.
Originating in 1998 as a team
penning event to honor S.D.
rancher Dick Stirling and his
courageous battle with cancer, this
benevolent event has since evolved
into a ranch rodeo drawing con-
testants from the tri-state area
and showcasing time-honored
ranching traditions all in the name
of helping area families fight can-
cer. So far 80 families have bene-
fited from over $25,000 raised.
One of eight Stirling children,
Carrie Kelly said, The funds
raised by this event go directly to
families that are in the midst of
the battle to assist with anything
they have a need for, whether it is
gas money for trips to the doctor,
uninsured medical expenses, a
special family outing or whatever
the need may be. We just want to
give a little because we under-
stand that cancer can take so
much."
This years event has expanded
to include calf branding, range doc-
toring, a trailer relay race, and
ranch bronc riding, stray gather-
ing and wild cow milking. Plus a
Ranch rodeo targets cancer
family chore time for kids will in-
clude grain hauling, gathering
eggs, cow milking and mutton
busting. There will also be an all-
ages boot scramble and sack race,
and new this year: a businessper-
son's boot scramble.
Reflecting on the events success
and future, matriarch Nancy Stir-
ling Neuhauser said, Reaching
the 15 year mark has reiterated
our familys resolve to reach far-
ther and raise more. Dick would be
proud of what weve done, but
would want us to keep on. Moving
to a larger venue, extending our
team target area, and offering
more ways to get involved will
hopefully compound our fundrais-
ing efforts and help even more
families. Cancer is not going away
any time soon, so we arent either.
The 50-team long go round will
start at 10:00 a.m. A free-will do-
nation barbeque and silent auction
will run at 5:00 p.m. The top 10
teams are slated for the Calcutta
short go action at 6:00 p.m. fol-
lowed by a dance with music by
Twice the Fun.
Fifty first come, first serve team
entries will be accepted until Sep-
tember 10. A four-person team reg-
istration is required. To enter or

Friday, August 5, Carla Bruck-
lacher traveled to Custer State
Park to meet Ron and Jennifer Ti-
etsort and family for a movie at the
new Hermosa outdoor movie
screens. We went to the 9:40
movies. It was supposed to have
two movies. We saw Brave, but
due to technical difficulties, The
Avengers never did get shown. For
all the warm beautiful evenings in
the past, this night was extremely
windy and chilly. We were sitting
outside shivering, and it started to
lightning and rain, so we werent
too unhappy when they couldnt
get the second movie to show.
Noah was the only one who had
never seen it, as the rest of us had.
I had seen it twice. On the way
home, Carla saw her first real live
Mountain Lion, as one ran across
the road in front of the car.
Saturday morning, Carla, Jen-
nifer, Noah and Hope headed for
Colorado to visit Matthew and
family and get away from all the
Motorcycle Rally bikes that in-
habit Custer State Park at this
time. Saturday evening, we discov-
ered that The Avengers movie was
playing in Fort Collins, so we
loaded up for the 9:00 p.m. show-
ing and Noah finally got to see the
movie. It was three times for me
and Matthew and his family.
On Sunday, we all headed for
Denver and Coors Field to see the
Colorado Rockies play San Fran-
cisco. It was part of Carlas birth-
day party and presents to cele-
brate her 65th. We ate $12.00 hot-
dogs, cracker jacks and $8.00
drinks. After the game, we went to
a fun arcade and restaurant. Hope
Tietsort promptly hit a thousand
tickets, Noah, a master of the
crane machines, pulled out a huge
blue dolphin, two frogs, one ele-
phant, one stuffed banana, one
small dolphin and a couple other
things. Matthew hit two thousand
ticket jackpots and G-Ma Carla hit
a 500 jackpot. What fun we had.
The grandkids had a grand time
shopping with their tickets in the
gift shop.
We spent two afternoons swim-
ming at the Greeley Country Club
pool and attended a going away re-
ception at the Country Club for
Matthews former wrestling coach
from the University of Northern
Colorado.
Wednesday evening, August 8,
Matthew and Jennifer cooked a
fantastic meal for my actual Birth-
day and I opened gifts and cele-
brated with one fabulous cupcake
with one candle on it. Everyone
sang the birthday song and took
pictures and everyone got one bite
of the cupcake!
Thursday, Sonja, Maylin and
Alissa Brucklacher and Jennifer
and her children and Grandma
went school clothes shopping at

happy!
July 28th, some of the West

fields are in bloom, brightening the
landscape.

Greetings Mary Paulsen re-
ported they had a freak hail storm
recently and her vegetable garden
was ruined, also the sunflowers
planted on some of their acres. The
sunflowers are struggling to come
back but the garden is a loss.
Grandson Dawson Paulsen is at
a basketball camp in Billings,
Mont. Dawson has qualified for fu-
ture honors in the basketball field
and is very sports honored.
Another very dedicated family
member is son Tom of Lead. He is
in training at Fort Lee, Virginia.
When he goes back to school in
January and finishes, Tom will el-
igible for the honor of Major. Our
best wishes and prayers for Tom to
be working for this honor. May the
Countryside join Toma nd parents
in feeling the honor of one of our
own local residents to reach this
place in his life.
Thought: A creative person is
motivated by the desire to achieve.
Hope sees the invincible, feels the
intangible and achieves the impos-
sible.

FOCUS ON THE FAMILY
with Dr. James
Dobson
Dr. Dobson Answers
your Questions
QueSTION: It seems like there
aren't enough hours in the day to do
all that needs to be done. What with
working and maintaining a house-
hold it's difficult to spend quality
time with my kids. What do you
think I should do?
ANSweR: You may have more
time than you realize. If not, it's cru-
cial that you put out an effort to find
or make some.
A few years ago family experts
were preaching that what's impor-
tant is "quality time," not "quantity
time." More recent research shows
that kids need both "quality" and
"quantity" time with their parents.
In fact, the more involved parents
are with their children, the less
likely they are to have social, emo-
tional or academic problems, use
drugs or alcohol, become involved in
crime or engage in premarital sex.
Without more detailed informa-
tion about your family situation it's
hard to know exactly how to advise
you. But your inquiry leads us to be-
lieve that you may need to re-exam-
ine your priorities. You can begin by
asking yourself a few simple ques-
tions. Is your employment outside
the home a matter of providing for
basic needs, or are you driven by ma-
terialistic desires or a longing for
personal significance? Are there any
aspects of "maintaining a household"
that you can afford to sacrifice? Do
you attach a greater value to status
or appearance than to the well-being
of your kids? After all, a spotless
home isn't nearly as important as a
close relationship with your chil-
dren. As an anonymous poet has
written:
For when at times I'm forced to
choose
The one job or the other,
I'd like to cook and clean and scrub,
But first I'll be a mother.
Another suggestion: one of the
easiest ways to make more time for
your kids is to turn off the TV. In the
average American home, the televi-
sion is on 49 hours a week. By way
of contrast, the average amount of
time that both parents spend in
meaningful conversation with their
children is 39 minutes a week. If
you're serious about wanting more
time with your kids, make the obvi-
ous choice. Instead of watching TV,
read to them, play board games to-
gether, take a walk to a local park or
just talk to them.
It's also important to avoid the
temptation to get your kids overly
involved in activities outside the
home. Some parents feel pressure to
sign their children up for numerous
sports teams, music and dance les-
sons, social clubs and all kinds of
community organizations. Don't fall
prey to this mindset. Kids don't need
a dozen different weekly activities.
They need quality and quantity time
with loving, involved and committed
parents.
QueSTION: I've received a lot of
conflicting answers to the following
question: is the quality of time I
spend with my family more impor-
tant than the quantity? What do you
say?
ANSweR: We don't think so. A
few years ago family experts were
preaching that what's important is
"quality time," not "quantity time."
More recent research shows that
kids need both "quality" and "quan-
tity" time with their parents. In fact,
the more involved parents are with
their children - and the word "more"
here is used with direct reference to
the concept of quantity - the less
likely they are to have social, emo-
tional, or academic problems, use
drugs or alcohol, become involved in
crime, or engage in premarital sex.
You have to bear in mind that it's
not always possible to plan meaning-
ful interactions between parent and
child. Such serendipitous moments
can't be cooked up and crammed into
a few minutes of "quality time" every
day. Many critical opportunities to
teach or model moral values may
catch you off-guard and will be gone
in the blink of an eye. You can't seize
the moment if you're not there to do
the seizing. And that means spend-
ing lots of "quantity" time together
with your kids.
Without more detailed informa-
tion about your family situation it's
hard to know exactly what else to
tell you. But your inquiry leads us to
believe that you may need to re-ex-
amine your priorities. The very fact
that you're thinking in terms of
"quality" vs. "quantity" indicates
that you're looking to justify spend-
ing smaller amounts of time with
your family. Is this supposition any-
where near the truth?
If you're not sure, you can put the
matter to the test by asking yourself
a few simple questions. Is your em-
ployment outside the home a matter
of providing for basic needs, or are
you driven by materialistic desires
or a longing for personal signifi-
cance? Are there any aspects of
"maintaining a household" that you
can afford to sacrifice? Do you attach
a greater value to status or appear-
ance than to the well-being of the
people with whom you share your
life? After all, a spotless home isn't
nearly as important as a close rela-
tionship with your spouse and chil-
dren.
Another suggestion: one of the
easiest ways to make more time for
loved ones is to turn off the TV. In
the average American home, the tel-
evision is on 49 hours a week. By
way of contrast, the average amount
of time that both parents spend in
meaningful conversation with their
children is 39 minutes a week. If you
need more time with your spouse
and your kids, make the obvious
choice. Instead of watching TV, read
together, play board games together,
take a walk to a local park, or sit and
talk.
If you have children, it's also im-
portant to avoid the temptation to
get them overly involved in activities
outside the home. Some parents feel
pressure to sign their children up for
numerous sports teams, music and

"In hope of eternal life,
which GOD, WHO CANNOT
LIE, PROMISED..." (Tit. 1:2).
In the Mediterranean Sea
there lies an island which in
Paul's day had a very bad
reputation. It's name is
Crete. To Titus, a pastor sent
to evangelize the inhabi-
tants, the Apostle Paul
wrote: "One of themselves,
even a prophet of their own,
said. The Cretians are al-
ways liars..." (Tit. 1:12), and
he added: "This witness is
true" (Ver. 13). Paul knew
this to be a fact, for he had
labored among them. In-
deed, even secular history
bears witness to this trait of
the Cretians, for we are told
that in ancient times to call a
man a Cretian was to call
him a liar.
How wonderful that St.
Paul had succeeded in es-
tablishing a few small Chris-
tian assemblies on this is-
land and that Titus was now
laboring there as his succes-
sor! And how reassuring that
to Titus and these few believ-
ers, surrounded on every
hand by people who could
not be trusted, Paul could
write about "eternal life,
which God, who cannot lie,
promised"!
"God is not a man, that He
should lie; neither the son of
man, that He should repent:
hath He said, and shall He
not do it? or hath He spoken
and shall He not make it
good?" (Num. 23:19).
Thank God, millions have
trusted His Word, especially
about salvation through the
all-sufficient and finished
work of redemption wrought
by Christ at Calvary, and
they have found it to be
blessedly true.
In dozens of passages of
Scripture God has promised
eternal life to those who trust
in Christ and His payment for
sin. "Christ died for our sins"
(I Cor. 15:3). "[He] was deliv-
ered for our offences and
was raised again for our jus-
tification" (Rom. 4:25). "He
that believeth on the Son
hath everlasting life" (John
3:36). "Believe on the Lord
Jesus Christ, and thou shalt
be saved" (Acts 16:31). Take
Him at His Word; His prom-
ise is good. "GOD, WHO
CANNOT LIE, PROMISED."
GOD, WHO CANNOT LIE,
PROMISED

Sunday morning gratitude for
the blessings of the morning! It is
cool, sweatshirt cool; translating to
60ish degrees. It just feels good!
Morning clouds to the east and to
the west, big puffy guys with
Wasta in the middle.
Last night we thought for cer-
tain that two big dark clouds from
east and west would converge and
give Wasta a needed downpour but
as we watched the potential for the
downpour went quickly off to the
south. Maybe my Gursen cousins
west of Martin were beneficiary of
much needed moisture. As for us
on the front porch of the Old Hotel
at Wasta, we didnt even get a good
spit!
As promised the friend of Lloyds
from Custer grade school days ar-
rived Monday afternoon from Cal-
ifornia. Long time good friends are
always enjoyable, easy to be with
and dont embarrass you with, yes
you just told me...!!
Boyd Simonson has enjoyed the
Rally for several years but recently
decided that as geezerhood was
upon him he would sell his motor-
cycle but come to visit by car dur-
ing the Rally. A visit to Sturgis for
t-shirts, time with Mary Jones
(friend fo Boyds mother) in Quinn
and her son Kelly, a must trip to
Custer to say hello to Jack and
Joyce OConnor and a relaxing sit
upon the front porch for a glass of
wine and evening viewing of the
traffic interstate and Wasta.
A friendly appearing fellow
coasted by on his motorcycle, giv-
ing us a wave and a cheerful grin.
Within minutes we heard tires
squeal and then a THAWACK!
Lloyd and friend Boyd said an
Uh-oh and jumped in his car and
took off in the direction of the high-
way leading to the interstate en-
trance going east. Under the over
pass on the east side of the road,
lay the motorcycle with the rider
between the guard rail and the
concrete support pillar. 911 was
called, sheriff, highway patrol, am-
bulance, fire truck and ultimately
Life Flight came and flew the in-
jured rider away. We dont know
his name, he appeared to be badly
hurt, but so far have not heard on
the news that there was a fatality
at Wasta.
It is so hard to get my mind
around the quickness, the sadness.
It has been a sort of mantra to say
the last two years. None of us
know how much time we have on
this earth and that certainly was
brought home Wednesday, the 8th
of August, 2012.
Our thoughts and prayers are
with him and his loved ones and
we hope to hear he is doing well,
this fellow with the friendly grin
and wave.
Speaking of the Rally, were we
speaking of the Rally?
A former guests of the hotel
stopped by Friday morning to say
hello. Brent Buzz Moermond
from Winchester, Ohio stayed here
in 2005 with his brother Lonnie
and friend Willa. They were here
enough days to become acquainted
and to enjoy coffee visits in the
morning and front porch talks at
night. In 2007, Brent and friend
Kelly returned for another several
day stay that we enjoyed so much.
This year, Brent and friend
Daryl Wright from Sardinia, Ohio,
stopped during their Rally vaca-
tion for a good catch up visit.
How thoughtful of them to take
the time to stop. Thanks guys it
was appreciated. Hope to see them
again along with Kelly!
Dick and Gay Hadlock won the
award for most company in a sum-
mer! Grandson Joshua McNeil and
his family, wife Natalie, daughters,
Nadia, 4, and Karalynn, seven
months, and son Peter, 7, had a
wonderful time here in Wasta. A
surprise was daughter Melody who
came along! Gay said that the lit-
tle ones were so good, even though
they had traveled so much. A trip
to the Badlands and time with
grandparents was the agenda.
Joshua and Natalie live in
Gainesville, Georgia and Melody
(Hadlock) ONeil lives in Davis
Junction, Illinois.
An additional surprise was from
Terry (Wenzel) and husband Gary
Rantela from Ocala, Fla., who
helped blow out candles on Gays
birthday cake while everyone was
still here! Happy Birthday!
A correction: Gay and Dicks for-
mer daughter-in-law and visitor
later part of July, with Uncle Les
Ever, are from Cal-Nev-Ari, NE-
VADA not Arizona. I called them
four times and still got it wrong!
Thank you for your patience and
sense of humor, Hadlocks.
We think we have a humming-
bird sitting in Wasta. Faye Bryan
spotted the little guy hovering over
the red monarda flowers at the
northeast edge of the hotels back
yard (AKA Margee and Lloyds).
We spent some happy moments ob-
serving the darts, dashes and occa-
sionally buzzing the finch who
wanted to share the tasty break-
fast. The problem is with identifi-
cation. It seemed to be over-all a
drab light brown and very tiny -
maybe not more than two and one
half to three inches. Would we
have enjoyed it more had we
known its name? Probably not.
A brief description by Hazel
Kalkbrenner of Heather Schells
wedding it was wonderful! Start
to finish great!
To be continued next week
Happy Trails!

Irene Fortune__________________________________
Irene Fortune, age 94 of Philip,
died Tuesday, August 7, 2012, at
the Philip Nursing Home.
Irene Clements was born April
20, 1918, in Haakon County, S.D.,
the daughter of Ernest and El-
freida (Meyers) Clements. She
grew up and attended rural schools
in the area. During her high school
years, she lived with Mrs. Senechal
in Philip. She learned many things
from her, including cooking and
cleaning.
Irene was united in marriage to
Howard Bill Fortune on Septem-
ber 23, 1940, at the Sacred Heart
Catholic Church in Philip. They
ranched in the Quinn area all their
married life. They moved into
Philip from 1970 to 1979, where
they resided while some of their
daughters were attending Philip
High School.
After 1979, they returned to
their ranch near Quinn, where
they continued to reside. Her hus-
band preceded her in death on Sep-
tember 4, 2000. She later moved
into Philip, where she has since
resided.
First and foremost, Irene was a
prayer warrior. She told Kay that
she didnt know where she got her
faith except for seeing how impor-
tant going to Mass was for her dad
as he shoveled snow so they could
get there.
Irene was a true German, every-

The Commissioners of Penning-
ton County, C. A. McDonald,
Charles Nippell, A. C. Hunt, Ben
Rush and Albert Kocher were in
Wall, Thursday afternoon finding
out the amount of land that was
necessary for the county to pur-
chase in order to put the road
through south to the Pinnacles.
Thirteen-hundredths of an acre
will have to be obtained from both
sides of the road as it joins High-
way 16. This land on the east be-
longs to Mr. Muller and on the
west to Nystrom and Packman.
The commissioners also believe
that some extra land might be
needed where the road curves
around The Bowl
Saturday morning, Joe Wilson

McLaughlin have purchased some
printing presses from the printer
at Hermosa, which they are as-
sembling in the corner building be-
longing to Sam Johnson. At pres-

An open house was held at the
Midland telephone building yes-
terday afternoon according to M.
C. Allen, manager of the North-
western Bell Telephone company.
In addition to showing visitors the
dial telephone equipment which
serves them and how their calls
are handled, the telephone com-
pany had a tent with some inter-
esting telephone displays. The
telephone service expansion and
improvement program completed
at Midland last year included in-
stallation of dial telephones with
cable and wire additions and re-
arrangements. Also special equip-
ment was installed to provide
more telephone lines between Mid-
land and Philip. The total cost of
the work was more than $22,000.
Since 1940, the number of tele-
phones served by the Midland of-
fice was nearly double, going from
94 to 185. Of these, 101 are town
telephones and 84 are on rural
lines.

the Advisory Board of the New Un-
derwood Good Samaritan Center
reports that the Board of Directors
of the Good Samaritan Society re-
cently approved the construction of
an addition to the nursing home in
New Underwood. This addition
would include expanded dining
space, expanded bathroom space

the capacity to 50 beds. The added
beds will provide additional em-
ployment and services to the resi-
dents of the community. The pres-
ent facility opened as a 31 bed unit

built as the New Underwood Com-
munity Hospital. Later, the build-

convert it to a nursing home. This
new addition is required to meet
the needs, as requests for beds are
being received by the home.

Struggling with the dehabilitat-
ing affects of a major heart attack,
Duane Bessette, Rapid City, S.D.,
formerly of Wall and Kadoka, bat-
tled for survival for several years.
Finally on July 16, it was apparent
to medical personnel at Rapid City
Regional Hospital that he could
not continue with his present qual-
ity of life. Arrangements were
made, and he was flown to Salt
Lake City Utah VA Medical Cen-
ter. At 10:00 p.m. on Tuesday
night, August 4, he was given the
news that a heart was available for
him. Duane was taken to the Op-
erating Room at Salt Lake City VA
Medical Center at 5:20 a.m.,
Wednesday, August 5. He was pre-
pared for surgery, anesthetized,
and his chest was opened up, ribs
pulled and his failing heart was re-
moved. At 7:20 a.m. a helicopter
arrived and landed at the medical
center from New Mexico, carrying
the new heart, his lifeline. In a
total time of three and one have
hours from the time Bessett had
entered the operating room or at
9:00 a.m. the new heart had been
placed in his chest cavity, con-
nected, and the incision closed.

No extras and postponing antic-
ipated improvements were the
theme as the Wall City Council
tightened their budget due to a de-
crease in sales tax revenues. The
Council held the first reading of
the 2003 budget during their Au-
gust 8 meeting. The finance com-
mittee had prepared a budget that
was presented to the full council at
the August meeting. One area the
council cut back on was Wall
Health Services. The Council in
the past has budgeted $13,000 for
the health services. They have not
used the money in the past three
years. Other groups that requested
money and were denied include
Wall Rodeo Booster and Wall
Neighborhood Housing Services.
