Different species of plants require different nutrient levels, so the greenhouse will be customized to serve the needs of the various plants. By Chastity Julson On the north side of the Elk Creek breaks along the Wicksville Road, a 26’x100’ greenhouse stands out from the regular live- stock barns and machine sheds that normally dot the countryside. The greenhouse, which began taking shape in the fall of 2014, represents another aspect of the entrepreneurial spirit that typi- fies rural South Dakota. Kent and Jo Wilsey, both South Dakota natives who have worked and lived in numerous states but most recently residents of Greens- boro, N.C., made the difficult deci- sion to change careers, locations and lifestyles in 2014 when they moved from their North Carolina home to join Kent’s parents on their ranch north of Lakeside. “We had been playing with ways to make a living in South Dakota for over four years,” Kent said. Kent, who is an aerospace engi- neer by trade, had spent his work- ing life designing airplanes and space raft. At the time that the family decided to move to South Dakota, he was working for Honda Aircraft, designing the wing for Honda’s business jet. Kent and Jo knew that they would have to find some kind of supplemental income if they re- turned to the family ranch. Slowly, Kent became aware of the growing demand for locally grown food. He thought of his parents’ place and the growing potential it had. Con- sidering the short growing season, though, Kent knew that a green- house would help give the plants more time to grow and produce. He began to investigate hydropon- ics and aquaponics. Hydroponics involves plants being raised in water using mineral nutrient so- lutions without soil. Aquaponics combines hydroponics with aqua- culture, which is the raising of aquatic animals in tanks. The urgency to return to the family ranch was heightened in 2013 when Kent’s father, Jim, mentioned that he was not sure he could make it through another South Dakota winter without some aid. Continued on Page 3 Attorney General Marty Jack- ley announced on Oct. 28 that the original State Flag of South Dakota that was missing has now been recovered by the Attorney General’s Office. The Secretary of State’s Office began an internal investigation for the missing State Flag in January 2015, and ulti- mately reported the missing flag to South Dakota Legislative Original state flag recovered by Attorney General’s Office; criminal charges anticipated Audit. On July 15, 2015, South Dakota Legislative Audit referred the matter to the Attorney Gen- eral’s Office.

She did. It was a blazing sun, on an azure background. May liked the design, and Senate Bill 208 was introduced.

... Continued from Page 1At 5:30 p.m. prior to the meet-
ing, the council met at the WallMall to review the building. Somethoughts on moving into the WallMall were because the presentchamber location in the commu-nity center provides informationto tourists but does not have pub-lic bathrooms. Leach stated manytourists from the chamber comeinto the Badlands Saloon to usethe restrooms right when theyopen. Also, expanding the cham-ber and making the location morefindable and visible to touristswould be an asset to the city.Leach said the cost to rent thespace would be 75 cents persquare foot, which would averageto be about $2,650 a month. Thelarge main room would be thechamber space and visitor centerto direct people to the variousbusinesses in town. Husteadvoiced the Wall Mall is a beautifulbuilding but he personally wouldnot feel comfortable renting spacewhich was not owned by the cityand spending tax payer dollars onit. The cost would average about$30,000 a year. He thought maybeit would be best to get more com-munity input. Hustead also sug-gested hiring an architect to re-model the current community cen-ter. Possibly adding offices in thecurrent meeting room and thenholding meeting in the large com-munity center room. Renting aspace on private property couldbring complications. Hustead alsostated some years budgets aretight, extra money would helpmaintain the streets, sewer, waterand to provide money to the cityservices such as the fire depart-ment, ambulance service and theclinic. “The Wall Drug store wouldnot be in business today if it werenot for the fire department,” pro-claimed Hustead. The councilmembers agreed a decision onwhether to move into the WallMall or hire an architect to redothe community building is toosoon and the council should waitto feel more confident on a deci-sion. Both options have expense.Both council and Leach agreed itwould be nice to increase the visi-bility and open up of the chambervisitor center, expand chamberand city offices, and provide publicrestrooms and water in the future.The council will research the op-tions and look into finding an ar-chitect to look at the communitycenter.
Preston Johnson was present torequest an extension on prior air-port building permit application.Airport leases have changed inRapid City from 25 years to 35years. Hustead motioned to ap-prove extending Johnson’s leasefrom 25 to 35 years and Hauk sec-onded.
Economic Development DirectorCheyenne McGriff gave a brief up-
date. McGriff encourages people tostop by her office or call and visitif they have any thoughts or ques-tions. McGriff also noted she likesgetting out and about and cancome visit businesses. People arestill taking the surveys and thereis still time to take one.
Dar Haerer was present to sub-mit plans for building a two cardetached garage at 604 DorothyStreet. S. Anderson motioned toapprove and Hauk seconded.Haerer also informed he plans toredo the parking lot in front of theAce Building Center and the laun-dry mat. The parking lot slopsdown. Haerer was thinking ofadding a retaining wall to theparking lot making it a flat sur-face. South Boulevard is a stateroad and he will talk to the statepeople to get approval for the re-construction of the parking lot.Haerer will be submitting designplans in the future.
The Polish Pinky Salon condi-tional use permit was up for athree year renewal. C. Andersoninformed there has been no com-plaints. Hustead motioned to ap-prove the renewal and S. Ander-son seconded.
Mary Riss, representing TimBriggs, was present to go over fix-ing the property at 212 FifthStreet to get the property back tocity standards. There has beensome communication obstacleswith the owner but council is stillwilling to allow some time for re-pairs. Briggs will be getting a listof things to be done. Riss notedBriggs just had replacement kneesurgery. Briggs is a licensed con-tractor and plans to make the re-pairs himself. Council informedRiss, Briggs should come up andsee what needs to be done in per-son too. The foundation needssealed up and two corners withbasement blocks are falling in.The corners need re-blocked. Theshingles and screen windows anddoors need repair as well. Huetherand C. Anderson plan on contact-ing Briggs over the phone to see ifhe could see the house in personand to make a plan and get a timeframe going for the repairs.
There was a general complaintfiled for the grain bin noise. Mor-gan informs the silencers were puton the last few buildings thatneeded them. The city has newsound meters that will measurethe noise. No action was taken.
Wall Fire Department’s Jim Kit-terman wants to keep the fire de-partment and their non-profit sta-tus going. Kitterman voiced his
concern on the average age of thefire department being 55. Kitter-man really wants the fire depart-ment to acquire younger volun-teers and encourage them to join.The fire department is necessaryand needs to have a secure future.Kitterman encourages people tostop in and find out how they canjoin the department. Kittermansaid he would be glad to have in-terested parties go on runs withthe department or give them aride in the fire truck. He stated avolunteer would not have to go onevery call.

To be state certifiedrequires 120 hours. Kittermannoted the department could holdtheir own classes but they wouldneed at least eight to ten people.
The Wall Clinic has medicalfiles before Rapid City Regionaltook over. The city was asked totake the files or find something todo with them. The council thoughtabout calling or sending a letter tothe people on the files to see ifthey want them. The councilthought about talking to their at-torney to see what to do with thefiles. Hustead noted he would askthe pharmacist at Wall Drug if sheknew what to do with medicalfiles. C. Anderson noted the clinicholds meetings with Rapid CityRegional on Fridays. Huether andHustead said they would attendthe meeting to look into what to dowith the old medical files.

...Continued from Page 1Kent and Jo’s son, Zack, had just finished high school and decided to
spend a year helping his grandparents on the ranch as he established residency in order toattend South Dakota School of Mines and Technology. Zack eventually
planned to attend college full time, though, so Kent knew this was onlya temporary solution.
External circumstances helped Kent and Jo make the final decisionto leave North Carolina and return to their home state. The Wilseyswere living in a rental house in Greensboro, and they received noticeone day that the state was building a new road in the area. Because thearea in which the Wilseys lived was going to be cut off by the road, thehouses in the area were forced to be abandoned. This came with a hid-den blessing. The state of North Carolina was willing to help pay thedisplaced residents to move. This was the impetus the Wilseys needed.Finally, they looked earnestly at heading west. Kent was talking to one of their North Carolina neighbors about movingplans, when the neighbor mentioned that she was not sure what shewas going to do with her greenhouse. Interest piqued, Kent looked intothe matter. The woman was willing to sell the frames for a good price,and the Wilseys jumped at the opportunity.
Jo and their daughter, Zarah, moved to South Dakota in August 2014,just in time for Zarah to start her freshman year of high school in Wall.Kent finished tying loose ends and began making trips across the coun-try with the family’s belongings, including the greenhouse frames.
Once the family home was established, Kent set to work building thegreenhouse. They had the frames, but had to construct the cover andthe heat and water for the greenhouse. The engineering backgrounds ofboth Kent and Jim stood them in good stead during this process. Thedifferences in their engineering fields led to some humorous standoffsat times. “I am an aerospace engineer, Dad is a civil engineer,” Kentsaid. This causes Kent to design intricately detailed things, while Jimdesigns things intended for strength and longevity. “My stuff is too weakfor Dad,” Kent said, a smile on his face as he recalled various incidentsin which the two combined their specialties.
The family heritage goes deeper than generations working togetheron the greenhouse, though. The Wilsey ranch is the original home ofKent’s mother, Caroline. In 1995, Jim and Caroline left an engineeringfirm in Sioux Falls to return to the ranch that had been Elmer and RuthWilson’s. Ruth, Caroline’s mother, had passed away, and Caroline’s fa-ther, Elmer, needed someone to step in and help with the ranch.
Now Kent and Jo are continuing the tradition. The site of the green-house is where the Wilson’s house and hog shed originally sat. As theyhave been working the ground, the Wilseys have found all manner ofscrap metal left behind from everyday activities in the past. “I actuallyjust used a whole pile of washers that we found out there,” Kent said.
The greenhouse has been operable since the winter of 2014-15. Kenthas a Dutch bucket hydroponic system installed in the greenhouse. Cur-rently, the system is used for tomato plants. This summer, in additionto a variety of tomatoes, Kent also raised carrots, zucchini, various let-tuce, chives, oregano, basil, watermelon, Wandering Jew, arugula, Napacabbage, sweet and hot peppers and cucumbers. During the warmweather, the greenhouse was expanded to include an outside growingarea, particularly for the vining plants. As a specialty item, Kent alsoplanted hops, which are used for home beer brewing.
The Wilseys experienced a true test of their greenhouse venture on

City Council discuss office options at first November meeting
Father’s Day when high winds hit the area and decimated the originalgreenhouse. Overnight, the poles were caved in and twisted, and theplastic covering was destroyed. Much of the produce in the greenhousewas either destroyed or spread across the countryside. Undeterred, theWilseys picked up the pieces and spent the rest of the summer recon-structing the greenhouse, salvaging what they could and replacing whatthey could not salvage. This meant straightening the poles, reinforcingthem to withstand South Dakota winds, and replacing the plastic coveron the greenhouse. “Putting it back together was a bigger job than build-ing it the first time,” Kent said.
Throughout the summer, the Wilseys marketed their vegetables at afarmer’s market in Rapid City. This was a good experience, and onethrough which they learned a great deal about their client base and thedirection they should take in their marketing. It also showed the Wilseysthat there was indeed a market for homegrown vegetables and beef.
When the farmers market closed at the end of October, the Wilseysbegan to consider a new direction for their produce. Beginning in Janu-ary, Kent plans to do a trial run of a site-to-home produce purchasingconsortium, in which local people will be able to purchase and have de-livered a box filled with roughly $30 worth of vegetables from the green-house weekly. Initially, Kent hopes to have 10 families take part in atrial run of the consortium, then expand the offer as the system isstreamlined.
As with any new occupation or activity, a great deal of learning takesplace at the onset. Kent was surprised at the variety of vegetables avail-able, many of which never make an appearance in the grocery storeaisles. In response to the desire of customers, Kent has attempted toavoid genetically modified seeds. Some people want to see his produceand plants to be officially certified organic, but organic, by definition,requires that plants be in soil, so a hydroponics operation cannot betechnically certified as organic.
Though the greenhouse business is gaining speed, the Wilsey ranchis still primarily a cow/calf operation. The most surprising discoveryKent has made since relocating to western South Dakota is how muchhe enjoys animal husbandry, including learning how different cows havedifferent personality quirks. “I never expected to have so much fun withthe livestock end of things,” Kent said.
Kent also enjoys the help of his family in both the greenhouse and onthe ranch. His son, Zack, who is studying to become an industrial engi-neer, is still able to come home to help with ranch work on the weekends.Zarah, who is in her sophomore year of high school, has also become ahand both in the greenhouse and with the ranch work. Caroline enjoysgardening and has helped Kent with a great deal of the planting. Sheand Kent have a friendly competition over the success of the tomatoesin his greenhouse and her garden. Jo continues to hold all the ends to-gether for the family, despite having to learn many new things herself.
Though a greenhouse might initially look out of place overlooking theElk Creek breaks, the can-do spirit embodied in the greenhouse is theepitome of the hardworking and enterprising spirit that marks much ofrural South Dakota.
until summer. Bryan noted thepool awning is very tattered and issix years old. A new one would cost$1,600 dollars and would last fiveyears. There was $4,000 left in thepool budget. S. Anderson motionedto approve the purchase of a newawning and Morgan seconded. Itwas discussed to have a year endmeeting but it was decided therewas no need due to the council al-ready meeting two times a month.
The Public Works report wasgiven. Bryan noted a fire hydrantis in need of replacement, the lo-cation at 7th Street and Hustead.It was noted the fire hose with thefire truck can not fit on it. S. An-derson motioned to approve thereplacement of the fire hydrantand Hauk seconded. The curb andsidewalk repair at the bus unload-ing zone is in progress.
A new city vehicle for publicworks employees was reviewed. Anew vehicle is needed and is innext year’s budget. There is$30,000 in the budget and if thecouncil orders them now, the vehi-cle will arrive next year and thecity will be charged next year aswell. The two choices for vehicleswas a Chevy Silverado extendedcab or a Dodge Ram. Council de-cided on the dodge crew cab for$26,978, white in color (the Walldecal will show better), with anadded bed liner, limited slip rearaxle and a back-up mirror. S. An-derson motioned to approve andM. Anderson seconded. Prices for
replacing the City Shop lightswere given. Huether and Hauknoted there is a rebate with WestRiver Electric if lights are re-placed with LED lights. Hauknoted the Powerhouse and busbarn were switched to LED lights.The LED lights take up to 80 per-cent less electricity and last fortwenty years. It was decided to getmore quotes and add the replacingof the lights on January’s agenda.
S. Anderson noted he will be inArizona for the month of Decem-
ber. S. Anderson thought theycould have a trial with the Face-Time App before he leaves so hecould attend the meeting on theinternet.
The next city council meetingwill be on Nov. 19 at 6:30 p.m.with a personnel meeting at 5:30p.m.
There was no need for an exec-utive session and Huether ad-journed the meeting at approxi-mately 9:30 p.m.

Bonnie D. LeibyBonnie Dee Leiby, 82, passed
away Tuesday, Nov. 3, 2015, at herlongtime home, with all of herchildren and most of her grand-children present.
Bonnie was born on Dec. 31,1932, in Quinn to Reba and RayHillery. As a child she lived nearInterior, fought off RheumaticFever, worked on her family’sfarm, and attended Big FootSchool through the eighth grade.She graduated from Interior HighSchool in 1950, lettering as acheerleader along the way. OnFeb. 28, 1955, she married JamesEarl Leiby in Pierre, after whichthey moved to Rapid City andbegan their family.
Throughout the decades thatfollowed, Bonnie and her husbandJim were the foundation of alarge, connected family, and theirresidence in Chapel Valley, from1960 up to the present, was homeand host to immediate and ex-tended family and friends, for hol-idays, other special occasions, andthroughout the many years ofdaily life they enjoyed.
In addition to the very manyfamily members and friends Bon-nie helped in multiple ways, shealso was the loyal and steadfastcaretaker through the years of herdog Chico, then her cat Johnny, afew stray cats that she couldn’t re-sist caring for, and a series of sev-eral gigantic hibiscus plants,which have descendants living onin multiple other states. Bonnie’sgarden, especially her many flow-ers, also received careful atten-tion, and played a central role inher bittersweet relationship withthe local deer. Thankfully, herlarge stand of lilacs created nosuch conflicts, providing instead abeautiful and aromatic wall forher children and grandchildren tohide Easter eggs in.
Although Bonnie operated with
notably more thrift than those shewas with on her many trips to LasVegas and Deadwood, and was abit more reluctant to play cardswith friends and family during themany decades, she did so in herhome and elsewhere. She was astealthily strong competitor, oftendefeating her opponents in GinRummy, and establishing the all-time family record for Yahtzeescore in what is believed to be herfirst and only time conceding toplay the game.
Bonnie will be happily remem-bered for her countless expres-sions of love through food — fromcooking daily meals, to making piecrusts for holidays, from sharingcoveted recipes like butterscotchpudding and corn mush, to teach-ing others how to be as nourishingand helpful in the kitchen as theycould be, and especially for consis-tently offering food from the enor-mous amounts she and Jim al-ways had on hand, consideratelysuggesting that everyone eat atevery chance they got.
Beyond these acts of affectionand concern for everybody’s well-being, Bonnie’s innumerable
wishes that everyone be carefulwhenever they were doing any-thing were a reliable reminderthat she was there for all, and hermassive array of medicinal items,particularly the huge dresserdrawer full of supplies, werestanding by in case not enoughcare was taken.
Moreover, Bonnie will be deeplymissed and joyfully rememberedand celebrated for her welcomingkindness and generous caring, herquiet yet fierce independence, herprivate and strong-willed nature,and her honesty, thoughtfulness,and sweetness. Bonnie’s frequentterms of endearment and funda-mental sense of fairness will per-sist in the many who benefittedfrom her presence in their lives.All who cherished her and wereloved by her will continue to beblessed by having known such awarm, patient, entertaining, sup-portive woman widely regarded asthe most selfless person that any-body who knew her had ever met.
Bonnie was preceded in passingby her parents; her husband ofnearly 59 years, James; and herolder brother, Allan, amongst oth-ers. She is survived by older sister,Alice (Jesse) Baysinger and sister-in-law, Dixie Hillery, all of RapidCity; two daughters: Jean (Alvino)Jimenez of Statesville, N.C., andJanet (Robert Valdez) Houser ofRapid City; two sons: Mike Leibyand Lloyd Leiby, both of RapidCity; five grandchildren; six great-grandchildren; and numerousnieces, nephews, cousins, and oth-ers.
Funeral services were heldMonday, Nov. 9, at the Osheim &Schmidt Funeral Home with Rev.Jeff Kintner officiating.
Interment followed at BlackHills National Cemetery nearSturgis.

are probably just some simplecommunications breakdown, amisunderstanding, a jumping toconclusions, or an unfair judg-ment-something so slight andquite easy to remedy. There is a better way to dealwith such negative situations.Whenever someone has offendedme, I go directly to that personand start asking questions (not inan accusing way, but very respect-fully.) I am trying to understandwhere the other person is comingfrom, hoping to find a way to turnthis situation around for the posi-tive. Chances are that they didn'teven realize they had hurt or of-fended me, so by being honestwith them about my feelings,what could have become a verylarge negative situation affectinglots of other people, is now turnedinto a positive, good relationship.
Today, I have many friendshipsthat have blossomed as a result ofresponding to others in this way.Ask yourself if there is someoneyou need to confront so you canturn that negative situation into apositive one. Then go do it! Thisrequires courage. I know that if Ican do it, I know you can too.
Resolving Conflict by TurningNEGATIVES into POSITIVES Resolving conflict begins withhaving the right attitude -an atti-tude of working hard at findingcreative and innovative ways toturn negatives into positives. Takethe typical reaction when some-body does you wrong. The ten-dency is to "write them off" andhave as little as possible to dowith that person in the future. Instead of dealing with theissue head-on, you might tell oth-ers about how this person is "lowdown and dirty" advising them notto have anything to do with thatperson. That kind of negative atti-tude only adds fuel to the fire, cre-ating dysfunction and hinderinggrowth in individuals, families,businesses and even whole com-munities. In all reality, most"wrongs" committed against us

“In the annual reporting periodfrom July 1, 2014, through June30, 2015, the TIPs program re-sulted in 126 arrests of wildlifelaw violators,” GFP law programadministrator Andy Alban said.“Wildlife would have been lost andviolators would have gone unpun-ished if citizens had not beenproactive by calling the TIPs hot-line and reporting violations theyhad observed.”
During the past year, the TIPsprogram reported 213 investiga-tions initiated through citizen re-ports, leading to 126 arrests,$18,558 in fines and $30,100 incivil penalties.
Callers can remain anonymous,and are eligible for rewards incases that lead to an arrest. Re-

By Coach Karol PattersonThe Cross Country season has
come to an end. On Saturday, Oct.24 in Sioux Falls at the YanktonTrail Soccer Complex, over 700athletes participated in the statemeet. It was a cool, slightly windyday with many spectators watch-ing six races as runners in each di-vision traveled 3.11 miles to thefinish line.
David Bintliff ran at 2:30 p.m.that day with 120 runners in theClass B boys race. He had a greatstart and was in a good position tomedal when a mile and a half hestarted suffering from a thighcramp. He kept going but it was
Wall Cross Country ends seasonobvious that the cramp was notgoing away. He finished 55th in a19:08.66. Daniel Burkhalter fromBison won the state meet as wellas our Region meet.
Coach’s Comments: A memo-rable season has once againended. There were joyous mo-ments as well as sad. The roadtrips were always entertainingwith much discussion, thought,and laughter. I now know how toplay Green Glass Doors whichcaused lots of laughter on the wayto state.
David Sykora, best wishes foryou as you complete your senioryear. You are a hard worker and
this will serve you well. David Bintliff, junior, we were

As of Nov. 7, many of thefurbearer seasons across the statebegan. The South Dakota Game,Fish and Parks Department re-minds individuals to leave trap-ping equipment or furbearers intraps undisturbed. Tamperingwith either one is a violation.
“Trapping is a recreational op-portunity enjoyed by sportsmenand women across the state,” saidKeith Fisk, GF&P wildlife damageprogram administrator. “Ouragency is reminding individualswho come across trapping equip-ment or furbearers in traps to notdisturb the animals and equip-ment as the trapper will be check-ing the traps in accordance withstate regulations."
Traps, including snares, are de-signed to humanely hold furbear-ers. When individuals voluntarilyshoot a furbearer in a trap think-ing they are assisting the trapper;they oftentimes destroy valuablepelts, which can lead to conflicts.
“Dispatching furbearers intraps is best left to the individualoperating the devices,” said Fisk.
In 2014, 3,577 sportsmen andwomen pursued the renewablenatural resource of wild fur as arecreational outdoor activity.Trapping is an important compo-nent of wildlife management andserves as a critical role in manag-ing South Dakota’s furbearer pop-ulations.
