Wall school board held May meeting By Michaela Bryan The Wall school board held their May meeting on May 13 at 7:00 p.m. School board members present were President Scot Eisenbraun, Pam Johnson, Spencer Cordes, Ryan Kjerstad, Kevin Bielmaier and Todd Trask. Superintendent Cooper Garnos, Elementary Principal Charles Sykora and Business Manager Niki Mohr were also in attendance. The meeting was called to order. The agenda and consent agenda were approved by the board. The board approved 2015-2016 administrative contracts which included: Superintendent Cooper Garnos; SPED Director Charles Sykora; Maintenance/Transportation/Power House Supervisor Dan Hauk; Business Manager Niki Mohr; Technology Coordinator Randall Poste; Elementary Principal/Federal Program Coordinator Charles Sykora; and Speech Therapist Ronda Wilson. The 2015-2016 staff contracts were approved by the board which included Head Cook Lynn Dunker; Power House Supervisor Dave Jones; Dishwasher DeAnna Kammerer; Secretary Amanda Kjerstad; Asst. Cook Gwen McConnell; WASP Aide Marlene McMillan; Custodian Kim Morgan; and Administrative Assistant Aimee Paulsen. The board approved 2015-2016 teacher contracts for Mark Ammann; Kent Anderson; Tabitha Berglund; Brenda Carmichael; Andrea Christiansen; Shawn Cutler; David Ermish; Anita Heathershaw; Dani Herring; Ashley Kier; Cheryl Lester; Rachel McConaghy; Kelly McMillan; Lorayna Papousek; Karol Patterson; Randall Poste; Kandy Punt; Mary Roeder; Jackie Roseth; Michelle Ruland; Kelli Sundall; Jeanine Sykora; Marlie Trask; Samra Trask; and Lori Walker. The 2015-2016 activity contracts were approved by the board which included Head Golf Coach Mark Ammann; Athletic Director and Head Football Coach Kent Anderson; K-12 Vocal Music and 5-12 Instrumental Music Andrea Christiansen; Multi-Media and Freshman Advisor Shawn Cutler; MS S.A.D.D./Youth to Youth Advisor Lynn Dunker; Asst.

Girls Basketball and MS Track Coach Ashley Kier; Eighth Grade Advisor Cheryl Lester; Head Track Coach, Head Cross Country Coach and Elementary Student Council Advisor Karol Patterson; National Honor Society Co-Advisor Randall Poste; Oral Interp Kandy Punt; Sophomore Class Advisor and Asst. Volleyball Coach Mary Roeder; National Honor Society CoAdvisor Kelli Sundall; Senior Class Co-Advisor Samra Trask; Seventh grade Advisor Lori Walker and Student Council Advisor Ronda Wilson. The board accepted the resignation from custodian Todd Grimmett. Lastly on the consent agenda, Tayah Huether was congratulated for being honored at the 25th Annual Academic Excellence Banquet for being in the top one percent of her senior class. First on the regular agenda, was an update on the athletic complex by architect Sam Fisher. Fisher informs the construction of the athletic complex is ahead of schedule. Cement construction is to continue on the pole vault, long jump and triple jump within the next couple of weeks. Fisher informs the turf crew will start on the turf field near the beginning of June toward middle June. There will be decisions made by the board on the type and location of fencing and gates to protect the turf field. Also decisions on drainage dikes, culvert locations and fencing will be made by the board in the future. A synthetic turf field needs protection against mud, grit, and constant traffic; so the need for certain locations of drainage culverts, dikes and walking areas are important. The school board discussed declaring the old football field land surplus and taking sealed bids. The school board plans to keep the score board, bleachers, shed, sprinkler heads and other useful items from the old field. West River Electric has already shut down power to the old field. The board discussed other schools or programs interested in purchasing the light poles and other items left at the field would need to make arrangements with the upcoming purchaser of the land and the upcoming purchaser would make arrangements with organizations interested in wanting to purchase items on the old football field. The school board motioned to claim the old football field surplus and to plan on taking sealed bids. The school board voted no on Cain Creek land exchange due to not wanting to lose revenue for the school. The board did not want to lose any more federal impact aid. The SDHSAA election is coming up. The SDHSAA board has eight people on the board and plans on adding a nineth seat. The board voted on a Mike Schmidt from Wilmot and a Mike Oleson from Bennett County. The Wall school board motioned to approve the 2015-2016 proposed budget. There were no big changes from the 2015-2016 budget as compared to other budgets. Business Manager Mohr encouraged school board members to email her with any questions on the budget. Some new factors to the 2015-2016 budgets were the upcoming updating of computer laptops, new math materials, replacing lighting with LED lighting (a three year plan), replacing the old color coping printer and adding new football uniforms. There was concern on the recent roof leaking from the school. Some of the front desk offices, school rooms and certain parts of the gym have had leaks. There will be updates on the expenses to fix the school leaks. Elementary Principal Sykora gave his report. Sykora informed Kindergarteners had their last day on May 14. The K-6 Elementary students and staff did a wonderful job at the spring concert on May 11. Sykora reminded people of the K-6 awards held on Wednesday May 20. Officer Dani Owens has been coming to the school doing presentation and working with elementary, middle and high school students. The board and staff thought it was great that K-12 students can build relationships with a police officer and authority figure. There was also discussion on possibly holding elementary track and field days so to utilize the new athletic complex. Business Manager Niki Mohr informed the annual audit will take place on August 10. The board motioned to approve financial advisors Casey Peterson and Associates to perform the audit. Superintendant Garnos noted sixteen seniors are to graduate. Garnos informed 24 students will be taking 34 college classes next year. The dual credit courses are offered through Northern State University and Western Dakota Tech. The school board went into executive session at approximately 9:35 p.m. There were two motions made after executive session. The first motion was for approving to keep the logo and lettering on the upcoming new turf field by using donations. The other motion was to approve to offer contracts to the paraprofessionals. The next Wall school board meeting will be held at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday, June 10.

A Proud Week for South Dakota This past week has shown us, yet again, why we can be proud to be South Dakotans. On Friday, May 8, our state welcomed President Barack Obama to Watertown. Linda and I were honored to greet the President at the airport and to join his motorcade as he rode to the Civic Arena. Thousands of people lined the entire four-mile route – waving, cheering and holding American flags. Members of the national media who travel with the President commented on the impressive display. It was all the more impressive because, based on election returns, many of those who turned out probably don’t support President Obama politically. But this was not a day for politics – it was a day for patriotism. We welcomed our nation’s President to South Dakota, and I was proud of the reception and the respect Watertown showed. President Obama delivered the commencement address at Lake Area Technical Institute and recognized LATI as one of the na- tion’s best two-year institutions. His speech focused on several of the graduates who had faced adversity and had come to LATI to seek a better life. The President recognized the values of hard work and self-reliance that make South Dakota a great state. All across South Dakota on that same weekend, thousands of hard-working students celebrated a successful college graduation, in a similar way. On Sunday morning, I was back in Pierre. Our family was enjoying a Mother’s Day brunch after church. In Delmont, families were doing much the same – spending time with friends and family. Then, out of nowhere, a tornado came from the south and tore through the west side of town. I arrived in Delmont mid-afternoon. The devastation and destruction were even worse than had been reported. Dozens of homes were damaged, along with the city’s brand-new fire hall and the beautiful Zion Lutheran Church. I was saddened by the great loss of property, but grateful that no one was killed or critically injured. And, once again, I was inspired by the people of South Dakota. Delmont’s citizens joined together to help their neighbors. Local officials set aside their personal losses to coordinate the city’s response. With the Delmont fire hall destroyed, firemen from Armour and Tripp came to Delmont’s aid. Power linesmen were immediately on the scene, working to restore power. The people of Delmont began to clean up their city and comfort those who suffered losses. Yet again, the worst of Mother Nature brought out the best in South Dakota. Just as we’ve seen again and again – during the Missouri and Big Sioux River floods, Winter Storm Atlas, and the Wessington Springs tornado – South Dakotans stepped up to help their neighbors. In South Dakota, we love our country. We work hard to advance ourselves. And we step up to help our neighbors when disaster strikes. That’s why this week made me proud, still again, to be a South Dakotan. Strength in Times of Adversity South Dakotans are no strangers to the beauty and bounty Mother Nature can provide – landscapes, cropland, and seemingly endless outdoor recreation – and the devastation she can wreak – floods, blizzards, tornados, long winter storms, and summer droughts. These are facts of life in South Dakota. Generations before us not only persevered in the Great Plains through natural disasters and ever-changing weather patterns, they prospered. We’re doing the same today in South Dakota. Delmont is the latest community to face adversity, as they continue to deal with the aftermath of an EF-2 tornado that hit on May 10. The tornado destroyed homes, businesses, and community buildings, but thankfully no lives were lost during the storm. The long path to recovery continues today for many of the 200 South Dakotans who call Delmont home. Last weekend’s storm is a good reminder that the government has an important role to play in preparing for and responding to natural disasters. Severe weather watches and warnings ahead of potentially dangerous storms help communities prepare for the worst, while they hope for the best. When those hopes are not realized, federal disaster assistance helps communities rebuild after the storm strikes. Like any federal program, federal disaster assistance programs can be improved, too. I’m working every day to do so. Over the past few years, I’ve helped enact permanent, standing agriculture disaster assistance that provides help to producers when disasters strike, rather than years later when Congress may or may not choose to enact ad hoc disaster assistance. Today in the Senate, I’m working to modernize our National Weather Service through my proposal to redirect taxpayer resources away from supporting outdated bureaucracies and toward improving the accuracy of severe weather watches and warnings and modernizing how those warnings are communicated in the Internet age. However, while these services are critical, federal programs play only a small role in rebuilding South Dakota communities in the wake of disasters. In Delmont, first responders were on the ground before the clouds had even cleared – despite the fire hall being completely destroyed by the tornado. Neighbors are helping neighbors search for belongings scattered across the county. South Dakotans are driving from miles away to help the recovery and serve food at an area shelter. Families whose homes were spared by the storm are opening their doors to friends and relatives who were not as fortunate. And although the walls of the 100-year old Lutheran church were completely destroyed, the congregation was strengthened, and will no doubt continue to serve the people of Delmont for the next 100 years. South Dakota is routinely ranked among the most charitable states in the country. We understand that for as strong as Mother Nature can be, our communities and our families are even stronger. The people of Delmont will need that generosity once again. MOVING?

She got right back on the horse, gave her another kick, and off they loped across the arena. A few years later, Kennedy was riding the horse in a rodeo and a woman came up and asked, “Is that Loosey?” I said that it was and the woman proceeded to tell me that they had tried Loosey out too, but found her far too ornery. She spoke about several other families who also gave the horse a chance, but none of them worked out either. Then, she said, “Well, I guess Loosey found her girl.” She was right. The strength and determination Kennedy displayed that first day with Loosey is the way I hope each of my kids approach the challenges they face in life. Brush yourself off and climb back on. It’s an attitude we’ve seen reprise many times throughout Kennedy’s life – and something I greatly admire in her. Kennedy’s athletic career has not been without its own challenges. Even after breaking her foot and knocking out her front teeth, she has been committed to pursuing her passion for basketball. Her biggest athletic challenge came last year when she fractured her back during a game. The break was bad enough that it required surgery, four days in the hospital, and several more weeks in a hospital bed in our living room. She was limited to months of no activity – a hard ask for a girl who rarely stops moving. By the time her senior basketball season came around, the doctors had cleared her to play – so long as there was limited contact. I’d wondered if the doctors had ever watched a basketball game. There were many times this season where Kennedy had to fight through the pain, but the doctors said she’d be alright so we let her push on. Then came one of the most exciting days of Kennedy’s high school career – the day she learned the University of Sioux Falls coach was saving a spot on the basketball team for her. That same patient determination that she had with Loosey all those years ago carried her through the back injury and onto a college team – just like she dreamed of. It makes a mom proud. As we prepare for Kennedy to leave for college – and for us to be left alone with Loosey – I can’t help but find a deep love and appreciation for that horse. After all, it was Loosey who put Kennedy to the test and my little girl showed a level of determination that I’m confident can carry her through anything life throws at her. Congratulations on your graduation, Kennedy. Dad and I are so proud of you. Reliable, Affordable Energy Last summer, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released a proposed rule to reduce carbon emissions from existing power plants. Self-titled the “Clean Power Plan,” the rule would require power plants across the country to comply with costly new rules and regulations that would reduce energy production and raise electricity rates – with little environmental benefit. South Dakotans could see their electricity rates double due to the Clean Power Plan. For those of us who oppose higher taxes and believe in a comprehensive “North American” energy policy, stopping the Clean Power Plan is an important first step. As a member of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, which has jurisdiction over EPA, I recently joined my colleagues in introducing bipartisan legislation to roll back the President’s Clean Power Plan. The Affordable Reliable Energy Now Act (ARENA) would make certain consumers have reliable and affordable access to energy, put jobs and our economy first and curb federal overreach. It would protect ratepayers from rate increases and prevent EPA from enforcing overly burdensome regulations on American consumers. It would also force EPA to submit a report to Congress describing the quantity of greenhouse gas emissions the Clean Power Plan is expected to reduce, as well as show the science used to develop the rule. Most importantly, ARENA would give states more flexibility if the Clean Power Plan is enacted by allowing them more time to comply with the regulations. It would also force EPA to issue state-specific model plans demonstrating how each state could meet the required emissions reductions under the rule. State highway funds would also be protected in our bill by preventing EPA from withholding the highway funds from any states who are in noncompliance. In South Dakota, the Clean Power Plan threatens the existence of the only coal-fired power plant in South Dakota at Big Stone, which is already in the midst of a $400 million compliance upgrade. If the proposal is enacted, Big Stone would only be allowed to operate at an annual capacity factor of just 23 percent, which is both uneconomical and practically impossible. This would essentially shut down the plant, all while it’s in the middle of a major, expensive upgrade to comply with a different set of EPA regulations. Not only does this threaten the nearly 100 jobs at Big Stone, but it would increase energy costs for South Dakotans and reduce energy reliability. The hundreds of millions of dollars currently being invested to comply with EPA rules would be a stranded investment. Americans must continue to have access to reliable, affordable energy. People deserve to know that their homes will be heated in South Dakota’s freezing cold winters, and that their lights will turn on when they flip the switch. The ARENA legislation would help provide peace of mind for ratepayers. It would provide reliable energy to power South Dakota’s agricultural and manufacturing industries. It also goes one step further in limiting the number of burdensome, unnecessary regulations imposed not by lawmakers, but by unelected bureaucrats at the EPA. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has indicated his interest in bringing ARENA to the Senate floor for consideration. I look forward to having that debate.

What I Admire in My Daughter We’ve watched a lot of old family videos these last few weeks as we prepared for Kennedy to graduate. It’s been a special opportunity to see who she is – who she has always been. She never seemed to mind her older sister telling her what to do. She’d let other kids at her birthday parties open her presents and play with the gifts – even if she hadn’t had the chance to yet. We saw her helping her cousins up when they fell and faithfully answering the questions we asked with the sweetest lisp and a crooked smile. I distinctly remember a day when Kennedy was five. I took her to a friend’s house in rural Raymond to look at a couple horses for her and her older sister Kassidy. Kass returned home that day with Dunny – and Kenners was left with Loosey. When we pushed Kennedy up on the horse’s back, her little legs barely hung over Loosey’s sides and even if Kennedy hung off the saddle horn, her feet were still a good two feet from the ground. But she didn’t seem to mind. Kennedy gave Loosey a kick and a cluck, but Loosey just laid down. I ran over to pull Kennedy off Loosey’s back as she went down and I remember getting this cold feeling in my stomach. “Oh great,” I thought. “Now, I have a five-year-old problem horse for Tayah Huether Girls’ Track U.S.P.S 425-720 nington County, the towns of Wall, Quinn and Wasta, and the school district in Wall, SD, is published weekly by Ravellette Publications, Inc.

South Dakota’s emergency medical technicians (EMTs) play a critical role in the state’s health care system, says a state health official as Emergency Medical Services Week approaches. Gov. Dennis Daugaard has proclaimed May 17 through the 23 as Emergency Medical Services Week in South Dakota. “It’s very appropriate that we set aside a week every year to recognize the dedicated EMTs, many of them volunteers, who are the front line responders to accidents, emergencies and disasters in our state,” said Tom Martinec, Deputy Secretary of Health. “These individuals stand ready to provide lifesaving care to those in need 24 hours a day, seven days a week.” South Dakota’s EMS system includes 123 ground ambulance services, five air ambulance services and more than 3,100 EMTs. Nearly 80 percent of EMTs in the state are volunteers. “Providing emergency care at all hours requires a significant time commitment of these individuals but they also need to spend considerable time training to maintain their certification,” said Martinec. The initial training consists of approximately 165 hours of classroom time, followed by national written and practical examinations to become certified.

He encouraged South Dakotans to consider becoming a member of their local ambulance services.

Wall Community Library Theresa Schaefer, Library Director Memorial Day is approachingif you want to remember those who served by reading a good book, the library has both novels and non-fiction with military themes. Bill O’Reilly’s Killing Patton covers not only Patton’s mysterious death in an auto accident, but also his invaluable contributions during the final months of World War II in Europe. Mrs. Grant and Madame Jule, by Jennifer Chiaverini, is a new novel with a Civil War setting. The story centers on the relationship between Julia Grant and her maid, Jule, who Mrs. Grant kept as a slave right up until Emancipation, despite the fact that General Grant was leading the fight for the Union and abolition. The last week in May is International Headband Week. According to Wikipedia, “People all around the world are encouraged to wear headbands to work and other social events to promote character building and confidence in the workplace and other social environments.” In honor of this idea, and just for fun, the library will hold a Teen Night on Wednesday, May 27, from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., to make headbands (or hatbands if preferred). The library will provide some supplies, but bringing more is encouraged. Ideas include worn out stretchy clothing, duct tape, fabric, ribbon, April Dairy Queen Golf Athletes of the Month Call us for all your printing needs.

Yes, Memorial Day is being celebrated this coming Monday, May 25th. I’m not knocking the moisture! When we get some the Countryside turns a beautiful green. There was some flooding this past weekend and people living close Wasta Wanderings Submitted by Lloyd & Margee Willey It is good to be home and seems as though we have been gone WEEKS! We left to be with family in southeran California, May 1st and to attend services for my brother Richard King, who had passed away April 20th. Dick had attended every family reunion from the first in 1993 and to the 2010 when his health began to fail. He so enjoyed Wasta, the local people, family and revisiting favorite spots he enjoyed while growing up in Longvalley and Rapid City. Yes, there is the sadness at his passing but there is also the great store of memories that bring the gratitude of having had this very, very good man, this brother in my life for all of my life. Our good neighbor, Hazel Kalkbrenner, took care of cats and warned us of a surprise May blizzard across Wyoming and South Dakota which gave us an unexpected “lay-over” in Salt Lake City and a good bonus day there with family. The storm had gone as far west as Evanston, Wyo., so we were extra pleased when we saw the snow all along and on the ground in Wasta. Wrapping up the week on Saturday, we enjoyed the Wall High School graduation ceremony. Two Wasta good kids received diplomas, Dylan Carter, son of Angela and Tom Carter and Will Housman, son of Tracie Crawford and step-son of Justin Crawford. Both boys are hard working and we wish the best for each as they head toward their future, with Will beginning his studies at the School of Mines and Dylan looking to travel to Oregon and schooling there. A former Wasta kid, Andrew Ferris, was also part of this class and plans to go into a career with Game, Fish and Parks. Andrew has been a life SanDee’s located at the Wall Golf Course long outdoorsman, so no surprise there. The graduation ceremony is very well done and a definite “feel good” that we enjoy every year. Congratulations to students and parents who devote the work and energy and care that goes into these years of “getting it done”. Danene Skillingstad had a second foot surgery — different foot, same surgery. We’re hoping you are out and about soon, Danene. Barb Crawford is enjoying being home after a stay at Rapid City Regional for pneumonia. Home is best, yes, Barb? She is also recuperating from a broken ankle. Okay, Barb, just get all this out of the way to enjoy the soonto-be summer weather! Not to be thought even remotely whining about all our lovely rain, but the river is certainly expanding it’s banks! Holy Moly! Quote from Abraham Lincoln and appeared on the graduation program as the W.H.S. Class Motto “In the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years.” Well said, Mr. Lincoln and well chosen, Class of 2015. Do you remember your graduating class motto? If so, how much relevance has it had to your life? Some day I am sure I will appreciate advertising sent to me by a funeral home. Today is not one of those days. Wasta has some beautiful flowers! It has seemed a perfect spring for Iris and Columbine. And Dandelions. The tulips have rested, also the daffodils. Today we’re not addressing the wide variety and great abundance of weeds, old and familiar, new and unnamed. Birds? Faye Bryan has been enjoying the appearance of the Goldfinch gang in all their Dandelion yellow spring garb — she likes to call them “flowers that fly” and I definitely associate with that. Our numbers have been down since the 2013 October blizzard so the little creatures are es- pecially appreciated. Barb Crawford was excited to see a Cardinal at their house feeding and the excitement was doubled when a mate showed up. Then a third appeared on the scene so perhaps it’s mate will soon show up. Jerry Schell captured this handsome red visitor on camera. Memorial Day is around the near corner and you know what that means! Think Independence Day! Parade and park fun — food and talent show! Get your trucks, tractors, classic Broncos, skateboards, scooters, bikes, ponies and puppies dusted off and join us over here for Wasta July 4th. — PLEASE — And bring your favorite talent PLEASE Happy Trails.

Peterson Memorial Hospital in Philip. Arline M. Nelson was born Feb. 10, 1923, in Midland, the second of seven children born to Oliver and Edrie (Faubel) Nelson. As a child, Arline helped her brother, Rupert, herd sheep during the hot summer days. While the sheep rested in the heat of the day, Arline embroidered small quilt blocks to pass the time. She grew up in the “Dirty Thirties” when times were tough. She learned many lessons from these times and they helped shape her life. She lived on a farm and attended country schools, Eureka and Pleasant View 63, north and west of Midland. She then went to high school in Midland, graduating in 1940. She attended Black Hills Teachers’ College in Spearfish for one year. She taught at two country schools, three years at the Pheba School in Stanley County and one year at the Markwed School, north of Midland. Arline and Clarence Petoske were married in Durham, N.C., on Nov. 2, 1944; and to this union were born five children. They moved into their new home on the hill in 1957. She and her husband owned and operated Petoske Construction, a dirt construction business until they sold to their son, James, in 1982. Her husband, Clarence, preceded her in death in 2011. She lived in Midland all her life, until she moved into the Silverleaf Assisted Living in Philip in 2011 and then into the Philip Nursing home in 2013. Arline enjoyed raising her family of five children. When they graduated from high school, she went back to an old love of art and began to work and enjoy drawing, painting, sewing, quilting, and ceramics. She especially enjoyed painting and produced many beautiful works, especially roses and other flowers. Arline was a member of St. William Catholic Church, Midland, and a member of their Altar Society. She served on the Midland School Board for 12 years, was a 70 year member of the American Legion Auxiliary where she was recently honored as a 70year Gold Star Sister.

So, when Kallie's cancer treatment caused her to lose her hair, it was a devastating blow. "Seems like such a trivial thing to be sad over…more like insult to injury. She's still beautiful inside and out," says Kallie's mom, Brenda. On the night that the family gathered to shave Kallie's head, her best friend Hailey, who had faced her own cancer battle, shaved hers too in a show of true friendship and support. Now cancer free, Kallie has a whole new head of hair, but more importantly, she is happy and healthy! This year, Kallie and the Flint family are fighting for all children with cancer by holding a lemonade stand during Alex's Lemonade Days, June 12-14, 2015. Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF), a nonprofit dedicated to finding cures for all kids with cancer, has selected fifty families across the country to represent their state and take a stand against childhood cancer during Alex’s Lemonade Days, June 1214, 2015. The 50 State Representatives, all of whom have been personally impacted by childhood cancer, will work to spread awareness about the ongoing childhood cancer fight by sharing their personal journeys. Alex’s Lemonade Days is a volunteer fundraiser commemorating eight-year-old Alexandra “Alex” Scott’s challenge to raise $1 million for childhood cancer cures, one cup of lemonade at a time. During Alex’s Lemonade Days, volunteers across the country host lemonade stands over the course of three days to continue her mission and bring renewed attention to the fight against childhood cancer. In an effort to amplify just how prevalent childhood cancer is across the country, affecting more than 12,000 children in the United States annually, ALSF wanted each state to be represented in the national fundraising weekend. As part of their “campaign” duties, the Hero State Representatives will each hold a lemonade stand during Alex’s Lemonade Days, spread the word about the initiative to their communities, enlist community members to host their own stands and even share why their state “stands” apart from others. “Our family knows firsthand just how personal the fight against childhood cancer is,” said Liz Scott, Co-Executive Director of ALSF and Alex’s mom. “Our daughter Alex literally took the lemons of her situation, battling childhood cancer, and turned them into lemonade by empowering others to make a difference in the fight against childhood cancer. We are honored to know that these 50 families will do the same thing, inspiring those in their community to come together toward finding cures.” Alex’s Lemonade Days began in 2004 when Alex Scott set her sights on raising $1 million to fight childhood cancer, including hers. Alex invited volunteers to join her in hosting lemonade Pennington County Courant • May 21, 2015 • 8 stands to help achieve her ambitious goal one dollar and one lemonade stand at a time. Through the help of these volunteers, Alex would reach her million dollar goal before losing her life to cancer in August of that year. Each June, the weekend before Father’s Day, Alex’s mission of raising $1 million returns through Alex’s Lemonade Days, when supporters everywhere contribute to a cure. The Foundation was built upon the principle that you are never too young to make a difference in the lives of others. Following in the footsteps of Alex Scott, the Foundation encourages volunteers everywhere to participate in National Lemonade Days, including many stands held by children. During Alex’s Lemonade Days, ALSF offers support to all volunteers who sign up to host lemonade stands. In addition to having access to a member of the Foundation’s staff to help with any lemonade stand needs, Lemonade Days participants also receive a limited edition box while supplies last. The box consists of materials to assist in the fundraising process including: an ALSF square banner, posters, stickers, temporary tattoos, a prepaid return envelope and so much more! In 2015, the Foundation will also encourage participant support through social media utilizing the hashtag #LemonadeDays. All participants, whether they host a lemonade stand, visit a stand, or encourage others to do so, will utilize the hashtag to show their support for the Foundation on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and more.

Update on Kallie Flint Kallie had surgery in July, 2014 to remove an enlarged lymph node on her neck. On August 5, we received the diagnosis of Hodgkin's Lymphoma and left immediately for The Journey Clinic at the University of Minnesota Amplatz Children's Hospital in Minneapolis. After many appointments, labs, scans, ultrasounds, over seven-10 days, it was determined that she might have cancer cells in her tonsils as well. The family opted to have those removed then and there while in Minneapolis. Good choice, pathology showed they also were cancerous. They came home for a couple weeks while the oncologists decided on her treatment plan. The next trip to Minneapolis started with outpatient surgery to place a port under the skin on her chest in which to receive her chemotherapy. The next day she started her first cycle of chemo infusion which lasted approximately six hours. She had to also take many medications orally, as well, including a week long oral chemo drug for the first week after every chemo infusion. Then, one week later, back in Rapid City, she had to go in for more chemo drugs through her port and labs…always labs at least weekly if not more often. Every three weeks, the routine would start over with another trip to Minneapolis to start the next cycle of chemotherapy infusion. This went on for three cycles of chemotherapy. She had her last infusion on October 30. The labs continued for the next month and then in November had outpatient surgery in Rapid City to remove her chemo port! She saw her oncology team in December…at that time, her waist length, long, red hair was just a little red fuzz starting to grow back! She had an ultrasound of her heart in January and will do that yearly to monitor for side effects from the drugs. She continues to see someone from her oncology team every three months and also will continue labs every three months for at least the first year…then may be changed to every six months. At six months post treatment about three weeks ago, Kallie was in for labs. At this time they also did titers to see if she retained any immunity from all her childhood vaccinations. She did retain immunity for almost all of her shots and will only have to repeat one series of vaccinations. She was very happy about that! She sometimes still tires easily and she does not have all her strength back to where it was before she started with all of this, but she is gaining every day. The good news is she is healthy and has been deemed "cancer free!" About Childhood Cancer Childhood cancer is a general term used to describe cancer in children occurring regularly, randomly and sparing no ethnic group, socioeconomic class, or geographic region. Childhood cancer extends to over a dozen types of cancers and a countless amount of subtypes. Just a few of these cancer types include: Ewing’s sarcoma, glioma, leukemia, lymphoma, medulloblastoma, neurobosteosarcoma, lastoma, retinoblastoma, rhabdomyosarcoma and Wilm’s tumor. In the United States, childhood cancer is the leading cause of death by disease in children under the age of 15. Every day, approximately 250 kids around the world die from cancer, accounting for 91,250 losing their lives to the disease every year. About Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF) emerged from the front yard lemonade stand of cancer patient Alexandra “Alex” Scott (1996-2004). In 2000, four-yearold Alex announced that she wanted to hold a lemonade stand to raise money to help find a cure for all children with cancer. Since Alex held that first stand, the Foundation bearing her name has evolved into a national fundraising movement, complete with thousands of supporters across the country carrying on her legacy of hope. To date, Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation, a registered 501(c)3 charity, has raised more than $100 million toward fulfilling Alex’s dream of finding a cure, funding over 475 pediatric cancer research projects nationally.
