By Kindra Gordan, for SDSU College of
Agriculture and Biological Sciences
Being actively involved and serving in leadership
roles for various agricultural organizations has
been important to Myron and Mary Williams of
Wall, S.D. because they recognize agriculture's im-
portance to their past, present and future.
Myron and Mary both grew up on agricultural op-
erations and then attended SDSU. They each grad-
uated in 1971, and the couple began their ranching
career by leasing a registered Hereford ranch.
Today, they run a cowherd and yearling operation
and also have a feedlot facility for backgrounding
calves - which they built in the late 90's with input
from SDSU Extension's ag engineering specialists.
The Williams's son Marty works on the home op-
eration, while son Monty operates his own cowherd
nearby - both are SDSU grads.
Grandchildren are now also involved with the
daily ranch activities, as well as 4H and rodeo.
Myron credits SDSU animal science faculty, re-
searchers and Extension for providing valuable
input for their ranching and feeding operation. "We
utilize SDSU Extension for nutrition questions, bal-
ancing rations, range management or whatever we
need input on," he says.
Looking to the future, both Myron and Mary
know that continuing to support and advocate for
agriculture is key.
Mary says, "Agriculture today is being bom-
barded from every direction by non-ag people who
make decisions that affect our business and liveli-
hood. We need to repeatedly tell our story - that
those of us in agriculture are the real environmen-
talists, the legitimate stewards of the land, and we
are adamant about animal care.. Our livelihood de-
pends on how well we do in these areas."
Today, the Williams are doing their part to sup-
port the future of agriculture through their leader-
ship roles in industry organizations as well as by
supporting several SDSU programs including the

recent "Send A Cow To College" fundraising campaign
in which proceeds will fund the new South Dakota
State University Cow-Calf Education and Research
Facility.
Supporters of the unique campaign are being asked

to play a role by donating dollars or the proceeds from
a cull cow or group of cull cows to the SDSU Founda-
tion to make the SDSU Cow-Calf Education and Re-
search Facility a reality. Donations are tax free.
"We are helping to build the new SDSU Cow-Calf
Education and Research Facility because investing
in cows, kids, and college is the future of South
Dakota agriculture," Myron says.
By participating in the Send a Cow to College
campaign, South Dakotans who support agriculture
can assist SDSU in providing Animal Science stu-
dents with the facilities that will prepare them to
be competitive in the ever evolving cattle industry.
The proposed facility has an estimated cost of
$4.1 million. A little over half of that total has been
raised at this point, some coming from the generos-
ity of individuals, financial institutions, businesses
and organizations that have already made substan-
tial contributions to the Facility.
However, the funding effort is far from complete.
How you can participate
South Dakota sale barn owners understand the
program and are willing to provide the opportunity
for cattle producers to participate in the Send a
Cow to College campaign.
"The process is simple," said Dave Barz, a large
animal veterinarian with Northwest Veterinary
and Supply in Parkston, and active in fundraising
for the new center. "Cattlemen willing to support
this cause should complete a Deed of Gift form that
is available at their sale barn of choice. This trans-
fers ownership of the cow or cows to the SDSU
Foundation and relieves cattlemen of any tax con-
sequences for the value of the animals donated to
the campaign. That's all there is to it."
Barz added that if cattle producers prefer, they
can donate calves instead of cows. For those not in-
volved in the cattle business, but would like to sup-
port the construction of this center, monetary dona-
tions or tax free gifts of grain are also accepted.
For more information, contact Jim Krantz, SDSU
Extension Cow/Calf Field Specialist at 605-480-
1056. To learn more about the Williams family and
other cattle producers who are contributing to the
Send a Cow to College Campaign visit iGrow.org.
For the past five years newspapers across South
Dakota have worked together to support a website
that aggregates all of the public notices that have
been published previously in the newspaper.
The website is www.sdpublicnotices.com.
The 130 daily and weekly newspapers in the
state cooperate to provide the online site at no
charge to any government entity. The newspapers
pay for all ongoing costs to host and maintain the
website.
Once a public notice is printed in the newspaper,
the next step taken is to upload it to sdpublicno-
tices.com.
Newspaper publishers in South Dakota recog-
nize the value that this site delivers to enhance the
reach and searchability of public notices first pub-
lished in the local newspaper, said David Bor-
dewyk, general manager of South Dakota Newspa-
per Association.
South Dakota newspapers are observing Public
Notices Month in October, so this is a good oppor-
tunity to bring attention to the value-added online
presence for public notices through sdpublicno-
tices.com, he said.
Publication of public notices in the local news-
paper remains the most effective and most efficient
way to notify the public about government actions.
Plus, publication in the newspaper ensures the no-
tices are verifiable, independent and permanent,
Bordewyk said. And yet the newspapers in South
Dakota are keenly tuned in to the evolving and
transforming world of news and information deliv-
ery.
Website collects public notices from states newspapers
That is why you see newspapers across the state
using a variety of technology tools to deliver news
and advertising information, Bordewyk said.
Newspapers are using websites, social media
such as Facebook and Twitter, email and other
media to deliver news and advertising.
Many newspapers are even sending an entire
electronic replication of the printed newspaper via
email to readers. Bordewyk points out that elec-
tronic subscriptions are becoming more popular in
particular among subscribers who otherwise have
been hampered by slow delivery of the newspaper
via the Postal Service.
This transformation in technology will only con-
tinue, Bordewyk said. However, I believe that
newspapers that do a good job of providing local
news, information and advertising will remain the
go-to third-party provider for government public
notices as well, regardless of the delivery methods
or technology evolutions.
Bordewyk encouraged readers wanting more in-
formation about sdpublicnotices.com or the tech-
nology changes in news delivery to talk to their
local newspaper publisher or editor.
You can also learn more about public notices by
visiting with the staff of your local newspaper and
through promotional material that your local news-
paper will be publishing during the month of Octo-
ber. You can visit www.facebook.com/PublicNotices.

The Common Core Standards was discussed during
the Wall School Board meeting held on Wednesday, Oc-
tober 10.
Superintendent Dennis Rieckman asked Samra
Trask to be present at the meeting to explain what the
new standards mean for her math classes.
Trask explained the standards were developed to
help students develop their own processes and ideas.
The rigor is to begin teaching the curriculum earlier to
students to encourage them to work through the prob-
lem and not to give up. This will make them more suc-
cessful in college and when they are competing for jobs
in the workforce.
Trask did say she is nervous about the differences in
the common core standard testing and the ACT testing.
Board Member Mary Williams asked what hidden
agendas are behind the new standards. Rieckman said,
there isnt any. Elementary Principal Chuck Sykora
said the reasoning for raising the new standards is to
make the U.S. more successful with those countries
whose students are very successful.
Trask noted the new standards are school wide and
nation wide. If a student should change schools during
the middle of the year, they will pick right up from
where they had been in their studies.
The board approved a Resolution to allow Philip to
become a member of the Wall-Kadoka gymnastics co-
op. The gymnastics program will be revisited next year
due to the loss of students who will be participating.
An open enrollment application was approved by the
board. Williams asked how the school made the new
students welcome. Rieckman replied that Mrs. Sundall
sets them up with a partner and all new students have
been accepted.

Trask will attend the next Impact Aid meeting in Jan-
uary.
The board approved the Native American Policies
and Procedures for Impact Aid.
A motion was approved to have either Carolynn An-
derson or Willimas attend the Delegate Assembly in
Pierre on Friday, November 22.
Rieckman informed board members there is an op-
portunity for a school board member to run for a seat
with the State School Board Association.
Rieckman is in the process of setting up meetings
with Lunchtime Solutions and CBM to meet with the
board.
Board members were asked their thoughts on pur-
chasing a small generator for the bus garage and pos-
sibly a bigger one for the school.

In South Dakota, we pride ourselves on our hard
work, persistence and self-reliance. Our ancestors
tamed the prairie and lived through difficult times,
and these South Dakota values have been passed
down through the generations.
We also learn in South Dakota to care for our
neighbors. Whether its a natural disaster or a per-
sonal tragedy, South Dakotans always come to-
gether to lend a helping hand to those in need. We
learn that early in our lives. It becomes so in-
grained in us that when we are needed, we simply
show up. Thats just part of being a neighbor, and
in tough times, South Dakota is one big neighbor-
hood.
This is a very tough time in western South
Dakota. Our friends and neighbors there continue
to respond to the recent disaster, during which
much of West River was hit with one of the largest
blizzards in our history. Homeowners lost trees, ex-
perienced property damage and went without
power for days. Businesses suffered from collapsed
roofs or other damage that will require repairs be-
fore they can reopen.
A helping hand to our friends and neighbors
Many ranchers suffered devastating losses. The
early winter weather created a perfect storm that
killed thousands probably tens of thousands of
cattle and other livestock. These animals mean
something more than just net worth, and losing
them has put our ranchers in an unthinkable posi-
tion.
We need to do what we can to help our friends
and neighbors during their time of need. If you are
able to help those affected by the blizzard, please
call 211 or 877-708-4357 to offer your assistance.
In addition, a Rancher Relief Fund has been set
up to help our livestock producers. The fund is a co-
operative effort of the South Dakota Cattlemens
Association, the Stockgrowers Association, the
Sheep Growers Association and the Black Hills
Area Community Foundation. Linda and I made a
donation earlier this week, and I hope you will con-
sider a gift as well.
To donate to the Rancher Relief Fund, visit
www.giveblackhills.org and search "Rancher Relief
Fund." Donors can also mail checks to Rancher Re-
lief Fund, PO Box 231, Rapid City, S.D. 57709.

Guest Editorial
The South Dakota Department
of Agriculture (SDDA) reminds
producers who have lost livestock
during the recent blizzard to doc-
ument losses. Proper documenta-
tion is critical to ensure processing
of potential claims.
This early season, record set-
ting blizzard is devastating to our
producers and our thoughts are
with them, said Secretary of Agri-
culture Lucas Lentsch. We are
working to coordinate with ag in-
dustry stakeholders to establish
and execute a response plan.
SDDA is working closely with
the Office of Emergency Manage-
ment, Animal Industry Board,
Brand Board and Governors Of-
fice on recovery efforts.
Producers should document all
livestock losses with pictures, vac-
cination and hauling receipts, or
any other records for possible fu-
ture use in disaster relief pro-
grams. Third-party verification of
losses is recommended. If you
have questions regarding live-
stock identification, please contact
the South Dakota Brand Board at
605-773-3324.
Affected producers should con-
tact their local county emergency
manager listed below.
Bennett County: Jeff Siscoe,
Public Notices in this Newspa-
per: Your VIP All-access Pass
Public notices published in this
newspaper play a major role in
the ongoing production of inform-
ing you about the business of your
government.
By public notices, we mean
things like the printed minutes of
the school board and city council,
election notices, rezoning notices,
advertisements for bids, notice of
property tax opt-outs, govern-
ment employee salaries, proposed
annual budgets, delinquent prop-
erty tax lists, township annual
meeting notices, exempt property
tax lists and much more.
Public notices that keep you in-
formed about what government is
doing and how it is spending your
tax dollars. An ongoing diary of
governments work.
The public notices in this news-
paper serve a two-way trans-
parency street. Besides keeping
you informed about the work of
your elected officials, public no-
tices also provide them with an
independent and permanent
record that accurately reflects
their actions and decisions.
That is why we are observing
Public Notices Month this
month. Newspapers all across
South Dakota are bringing atten-
tion to the role that public notices
play in our everyday lives. We are
highlighting this month with a
VIP All-access theme.
Public notices printed in this
newspaper are VIP: verifiable, in-
dependent and permanent.
Verifiable because this newspa-
per is accessible to all segments of
the public as a valid, credible
source for public notices delivered
directly to your mailbox or
doorstep.
Despite the ongoing shutdown
of the federal government, all
state parks and state hunting
areas in South Dakota remain
open, Gov. Dennis Daugaard said.
We are fortunate in South
Dakota to have many outstanding
state parks, from Custer State
Park to Good Earth State Park,
and all remain open to visitors,
said the Governor.
Unlike some other states,
Independent because this
newspaper provides an independ-
ent, third-party check in the
process of delivering public no-
tices to you.
Permanent because the public
notices printed in this newspaper
cannot be altered, hacked or
deleted. Something that is not
true in the digital world.
Public Notices in this newspa-
per: your VIP all-access pass to
what your government is doing.
Unfortunately, there are ongo-
ing efforts to eliminate the publi-
cation of public notices in newspa-
pers. Certain special interests
and lobbying groups representing
local governments want to do
away with public notices laws, ar-
guing that its a waste of money
and that no one reads them any-
way.
We will be crystal clear that
this newspaper indeed is paid to
publish public notices. Just as
any business or entity is compen-
sated for goods and services it
provides to government, this
newspaper is paid for publication
of public notices. In doing so, we
have laws to follow. State law dic-
tates a uniform compensation
rate that is fair and consistent. In
fact, you can find the cost of pub-
lication at the bottom of almost
all government public notices
published in this newspaper.
On average, the total cost to
local governments in South
Dakota to publish all of their re-
quired public notices equals an
amount less than one-half of one
percent of their total annual
budget. What value do we put on
making sure citizens have the
ability to be informed about their
government?
As for the argument that no one
reads them anymore, not surpris-
ingly we disagree on that one as
well.
Statistically valid statewide
readership surveys conducted by
South Dakota Newspaper Associ-
ation have shown consistently
over the years that more than
half of all South Dakotans read
public notices in their local news-
paper on a frequent basis.
Or, consider the story about the
confidential $175,000 settlement
agreement between the Huron
School District and its former su-
perintendent that was uncovered
following a lengthy investigation
by The Daily Republic at
Mitchell. It made for some big
headlines around the state this
year.
All of this started because
someone wondered why a pay-
ment of more than $10,000 per
month to the former superintend-
ent kept showing up in the school
board proceedings published in
the local newspaper.
An excellent example of light
being shone on something govern-
ment wanted to keep in the dark.
And it all started with something
that someone read in the school
board minutes printed in the
newspaper. Public notices at
work.
That is why we bring special at-
tention to public notices this
month. We urge you to read them
and to tell legislators to resist the
ongoing efforts by special inter-
ests in Pierre to eliminate them.
Good government depends on
public notices. You depend on
them. Public notices are your VIP
all-access pass to knowing more
about the business of government
and your tax dollars at work.
Governor offers update on parks and hunting lands
South Dakota does not have any
state-run parks or recreation
areas on federal lands, so no state
facilities have been threatened
with closure.
Federal officials have an-
nounced that they have closed the
federal wildlife refuge system,
which includes wildlife refuges
and waterfowl production areas.
State Game, Fish and Parks offi-
cials are not enforcing the closure
of federal lands, but will continue
to conduct compliance checks for
licenses and bag limits, as usual.
Prior to the federal government
shutdown, Gov. Daugaard offered
state resources to keep Mount
Rushmore National Monument
open. The National Park Service
rejected the Governors offer say-
ing the entire National Park Sys-
tem should be closed during the
shutdown.

This week is Teen Read Week.
Teen Read Week began in 1998
and is held annually during the
third week of October.
Its purpose is to encourage
teens to be regular readers and li-
brary users.
When was the last time you
read a teen novel? If you are an
adult, chances are you are miss-
ing out on some great reads if you
bypass the teen section of the Li-
brary.
Some wonderful books have
been produced in young adult lit-

tion of American Publishers
ranked Children's/Young Adult
books as the single fastest-grow-
ing publishing category. Teen
books include such NY Times
bestsellers as The Hunger Games,
The Fault in Our Stars, Insur-
gent, and The Book Thief.
Of course, many of the teen
books have been turned into hit
movies as well.
Wall Community Library celebrates Teen Read Week
The theme for this year is Seek
the Unknown at your library,
which encourages teens to explore
and learn about the unknown
through mystery, adventure, sci-
fi, and fantasy books.
We have a fairly good selection
of young adult literature at the
Wall Community Library.
Come by and pick up a new
read, and maybe even find a new
favorite!
The Library is open Wednes-
days from 12 - 7 p.m., Thursdays
from 9 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. and 1:30
- 5 p.m., and Fridays from 8 a.m.
- 1 p.m. We are located at 407
Main Street.
When life gives you lemons make lemonade and when life gives
you snow make snowwomen. This gal showed up in Peno Basin
shortly after Atlas blew in with an October 4 - 5 blizzard.

George Washington has been
called The Father of our Coun-
try. He might also be called The
Father of our Pheasants.
The nations first president is
credited with being the first per-
son to bring pheasants to the
United States, according to infor-
mation from the South Dakota
Department of Game Fish &
Parks contained in the South
Dakota State Historical Society --
Archives, located in the Cultural
Heritage Center in Pierre.
Washington had several pairs
of English pheasants sent from
England to his Mount Vernon es-
tate during his first term as pres-
ident.
The basis of pheasants in South
Dakota and throughout the
United States, though, is said to
have come from 70 pheasants
that Judge O. N. Denny, then U.S.
Consul at Shanghai, shipped to
his brother, John Denny, in Ore-
gon in 1880. The pheasants were
released in Oregons Willamette
Valley in 1880, 1881 and 1883.
Redfield calls itself the Pheas-
ant Capital of the World. It was
in Spink County that the first
successful stocking of pheasants
and the first pheasant hunting
season took place in South
Dakota.
A. E. Cooper and E. L. Ebbert
bought several pairs of pheasants
from a Pennsylvania game farm
in 1908 and introduced them in
wooded sections of their farms
south of Doland. Those pheasants
This picture was taken in the 1920s near Madison. According to information on similar photographs in
the State Archives, local sportsmen from the American Legion had taken National American Legion
Commander ONeil pheasant hunting. The man on the right is ONeil. His first name is not included on
any of the captions.
The immigrant who thrived in South Dakota

fell victim to heavy snow that
winter. Cooper and Ebberts ef-
forts to release pheasants the
next year met with success.
H. P. Packard, H. J. Schalke
and H. A. Hagman, all of Redfield,
bought pheasants and released
them on Hagmans farm north of
Redfield in 1909. About that same
year, A. C. Johnson released 25
pheasants on his ranch south of
Frankfort.
Inspired by the success of these
releases, the Redfield Chamber of
Commerce made the first large
release of pheasants in the area.
In 1911, the South Dakota De-
partment of Game and Fish re-
leased 48 pairs of pheasants near
Redfield that were purchased
with privately donated funds.
That same year, the state
bought 200 pairs of pheasants
and issued them to farmers living
along the James River in Spink
and Beadle counties.
The headline in the Sept. 3,
1913, Daily Capital-Journal in
Pierre read The Pheasants are
Coming. The article stated that
State Game Warden H. S.
Hedrick had been notified that
5,000 Chinese ring-necked pheas-
ants were arriving from a game
farm near Chicago.
After being displayed at the
state fair in Huron, the pheasants
in families of one rooster to sev-
eral hens were to be distributed
throughout the state, the places
of location being determined by
the showing for natural protec-
tion and care which will be as-
sured the birds for the first few
years.
In 1919, the shots heard round
South Dakota were fired when
the first open season on pheas-
ants took place on October 30 in
Spink County. Game wardens es-
timated that 200 of the pheasant
population of 100,000 made the
transition from the landscape to
the dinner table.
In 1943, state Rep. Paul
Kretschmar of Eureka delivered a
speech to the South Dakota Leg-
islature in which he extolled the
virtues of the pheasant. Other
states had designated the
meadow lark as their state bird,
while others had chosen song
birds, he said.
To reward a bird of fine table
delicacy, sporting blood vigorous
and hardy, found throughout the
state, responsible for a substan-
tial part of our state income, and
one that has given us national
recognition, it is my recommenda-
tion that the Ring Neck Pheasant
be officially named as the bird of
our state, he said.
A bill designating the Chinese
ring-neck pheasant as the states
official state bird was passed by
the Legislature in 1943. Thus,
South Dakota became a state that
extensively promotes the killing
and eating of an official symbol.
Pheasant numbers have varied
through the years, but that allure
of hunting pheasants has not.

Gable, Carole Lombard and
Robert Taylor; baseball players
Ty Cobb, Bob Feller and Gabby
Hartnett; and politicians such as
former U.S. Vice President Dick
Cheney have all hunted pheas-
ants in South Dakota.
A magazine article by Don
Eddy, published about 1948, told
how railroad executive Lucien
Sprague brought a special 11-car
train from Minneapolis to Leola
containing at least two carloads of
millionaires from all points of the
compass during the pheasant
hunting season.
At Huron, 36 out-of-state air-
planes were parked for the pheas-
ant hunting season opener.
In Aberdeen, the pheasant can-
teen operated from Aug. 19, 1943,
to March 31, 1946, as a project of
the American Red Cross and the
USO.
Thousands of soldiers, sailors
and marines who were traveling
through Aberdeen toward train-
ing facilities or deployments were
greeted with hospitality and
pheasant sandwiches.
The 2012 pheasant hunting
season was from October 20,
2012, through January 6, 2013,
statewide.
There were 68,337 resident and
93,419 nonresident licenses is-
sued that allowed holders to hunt
pheasants, according to informa-
tion from G,F&P. A projected total
of 1.4 million pheasants were har-
vested. The economic impact of
pheasant hunting was $172.5 mil-
lion.
When the 2013 pheasant hunt-
ing season begins at noon on Sat-
urday, Oct. 19, it continues an an-
nual autumn holiday in South
Dakota.
The opening weekend is filled
with good food, good dogs and
good tales of previous hunts. Its
the story of how enduring friend-
ships are built upon common in-
terests, and how the tradition of
hunting still serves as an impor-
tant rite of passage into adult-
hood.
Its passing down from one gen-
eration to the next the essential
values of good sportsmanship: re-
spect for nature and sharing
abundance.
The immigrant bird has made
good in a big way.

South Dakota National Guard
members continue to support the
state in aftermath of the Oct. 4
winter storm that crippled west-
ern South Dakota.
Nearly 50 Soldiers and Airmen
have been called to state active
duty to support local citizens
since October 5 and have helped
to clear road ways, remove snow
and assist electrical cooperative
crews with gaining access to loca-
tions needing power lines re-
paired.
More than a dozen other full-
time National Guard members
have also provided dedicated sup-
port to state active-duty person-
nel in response to the storm.
So far, 19 separate missions
have been requested of the Guard
since operations began. Eight
missions are complete and the
Guard expects to continue to as-
sist electric companies in power
restoration efforts for the next
seven to 10 days.
Guard forces and equipment
began responding immediate
after the blizzard and sent to lo-
cations hardest hit in Harding,
Meade, Perkins and Pennington
counties.
Equipped with snow blowers,
front-end loaders, bulldozers,
heavy expanded mobility tactical
S.D. Guard continues support to state in wake of winter storm
trucks and humvees, Guard mem-
bers were dispatched locally and
from across the state to help com-
munities dig out from the record-
breaking storm.
Our Soldiers and Airmen are
proud to be able to respond to
local emergencies such as this,
said Maj. Gen. Tim Reisch, adju-
tant general of the SDNG. Our
service in a state active duty sta-
tus like this is foundational to
what the National Guard is all
about.
Across the region, snow totals
averaged 30 inches, with some
isolated areas recording almost
five feet, setting new snowfall
records for October in the Black
Hills and many western counties.
Snow accumulation, along with
freezing temperatures and wind
gusts up to 70 mph, downed thou-
sands of tree limbs and electrical
power lines, blocked roadways
and decimated livestock caught in
the storm.
Local emergency management
officials from multiple counties
requested support to the states
emergency management office
and the governor, who declared a
state of emergency and activated
National Guard forces to assist.
The call for Guard assistance
came early Saturday morning
and coordination began immedi-
ately to bring in personnel and
dig out equipment.
With roads nearly impassable
and no travel advised, several
Soldiers trekked on foot several
miles to reach the Guard head-
quarters on Camp Rapid in Rapid
City to set up operations. Soldiers
also trudged through deep snow
in the towns of Belle Fourche and
Sturgis to begin opening equip-
ment yards. From across the
state, Guard personnel from units
in Aberdeen, Mobridge, Sioux
Falls and Yankton were dis-
patched to deliver equipment and
to help respond to recovery ef-
forts.
Gov. Dennis Daugaard an-
nounced that he has reached an
agreement with the National
Park Service to re-open Mount
Rushmore for the duration of the
federal government shutdown.
Visitors from around the world
come to the Black Hills to see
Mount Rushmore, and Im
pleased that our nations Shrine
to Democracy will be re-opened,
said Gov. Daugaard. I appreciate
the willingness of the National
Park Service to partner with us to
operate the monument.
The National Park Service will
charge the state $15,200 per day
to operate the monument. The
monument re-opened Monday
morning at 8 a.m. MDT.
Partners from across South
Dakota have stepped forward to
buy a day of operation of Mount
Rushmore:

Wasta Week in Review After
the Storm October 7 - 12, 2013.
Residents in Wasta are feeling
grateful!
Some who drove through our
town reported to us and to others,
Wasta looks like a war zone!
That was Monday. Today is
Sunday.
Much hard work by many have
us pretty well cleaned up.
Power was restored Saturday
at 5:45 p.m.
There are so many people to ac-
knowledge and thank it is hard to
know where to start.
I missed the actual storm,
being in Utah because of a death
in the family and could not get
back until Monday afternoon.
Faye Bryan opened her home to
Mary Lewis and Lloyd. Faye has
a free standing propane heater
and gas cook-top so when the
power went out Friday night, she
was well prepared with
kerosene lamps, candles and a
great attitude.
By Monday, the streets were
passable as the snow melted and
residents could assess the dam-
age through town. And it werent
purdy! Our tall old trees took a
major hit.
Todd Trask, who had not been
able to fully assess damage and
loss at his own place came to offer
help, Tuesday morning.
Later that morning, Terry
Schell was setting up generators
for those who needed to keep
freezers and refrigerators going.
We were prepared to save what
we could using blocks of ice. How
rich we felt knowing that genera-
tor was keeping food fresh, as we
shared with neighbors in Wasta
on a rotation basis.
As we were out clearing and
cleaning up, stacking limbs,
branches and general debris
along the street as Terry Schell
had volunteered to pick up the
stacked remains of Wastas trees,
it looked like great hedges lining
the streets.
Ray and Jamy Williams, Ken
and Danene Skillingstad and
Kerry Heriger teamed up to put
great meat loaf together to share
with neighbors, David Humphrey
had an extra generator to lend
and Norm Current and chain saw
was busy with B Street clean-up.
Billie Hulm and niece Becky
took goodies around to workers
who welcomed a cool drink and a
snack.
Kyle Schell and friend, Carrie
Buchholz, helped whomever
wherever they were needed, Don
Anderson and son Daryl spent a
day cutting tree limbs into fire-
wood and went home with a
promise to return.
Mary Lewis and Faye Bryan
hitched up Fayes mule and it ap-
peared that they were roping
snags and urging the mule to pull
them down. However, that may
not be exactly how it happened!
Hazel Kalkbrenner was search-
ing for and finding what had been
spared in her garden and yard as
well as helping others.
Today, Sunday, Stuart and
Shirley Kitterman, Colby Shearer
and Melanie Webber pitching in
to clear Cliff Siehs home where
Melanie now lives and then went
on to Wastas Community Hall
and Ann Mae Allreads.
The last I saw of Mary Lewis
and Faye Bryan, they came to en-
courage Kyle and Carrie to join
the fun on A Street with one
more clean-up!
I dont know if Terry Schell has
yet called it quits or if hes still
picking up.
Lloyd finally came in and is en-
joying a snooze in his chair.
We thank the West River Elec-
tric Association for their tireless
work to get power back to cus-
tomers as soon as possible.
Mel and Dorothy Anderson,
Bunny Bail and daughter Emily
were also part of the great Wasta
Blizzard Clean-up of 2013.
We feel fortunate and grateful
that no homes were damaged or
people injured.
We are also aware of those all
around us who have suffered
losses with livestock or damage
far more serious than we here in
Wasta have known.
Our thanks to all our neighbors
who have pitched in to help us. It
is, after all, about people helping
people.
All of you who drove through
Wasta last week are invited to
come by again for a look-see.
You could even join in our fun
and help us we have a great
time!
It was recently mentioned that
our tourist traffic was high
tourist season and maybe we
should install a toll booth. Just
kidding! We appreciate your con-
cern.
So come have a look at us
now!
Monday morning Power out
and back on. And thank you all
who helped!
Happy Trails!

Custer on Saturday. They all
came out victorious. Yah, Eagles!
Heard on the noon news that
huge pits have been dug for
ranchers to get rid of the livestock
lost in the blizzard. One is at
Quinn, one at Owanka and an-
other near White Owl. Perhaps
there will be more.
The Carmichael family held a
reunion this past weekend. Satur-
day, the Wall Golf Course Club-
house was the scene for their
gathering. Those attending from
out of town were Denny and
Karen Carmichael of Brookings;
Tom Carmichael of Oakland,
Neb.; Barb Croell of Sundance,
Wyo.; Jim Doyle of Belle Fourche;
Tim, Loni Jane and Logan Lands-
man of Hutchinson, Minn.; Scott,
Angie, Tyson and Aiden Dunbar

and Cooper Venjohn of Piedmont.
Joining them were Merlin and
Mary Jane Doyle, Dave and Arla
Olson, Brenda Carmichael and
Maddie Bauer. They enjoyed good
food, fellowship and made plans
for next year.
Stan and Alice Mettler are an-
nouncing the birth of their first
great-grandchild. Konrad Michael
LaRue was born October 12,
2013, to Kate and Sean LaRue of

We have another birth to report
daughter of Randy and Mary
Williams, Kaylin and Robert Sea-
ger of Lincoln, Neb., have a baby
girl, making Leslie and Kay
Williams great-grandparents
again. the little miss has been
named Eden Marie, weighed 7
lbs. 12 oz. and 19 inches long.
Congratulations to the family!
Yesterday was Columbus Day,
or Native American Day,
whichever you prefer. It actually
fell on Saturday but is being ob-
served so some offices can have a
three day weekend such as
banks, Post office, GWTC and
WREA (but I bet the outside crea
worked if they still have some
consumers without power). If we
get as much snow as we had on
the first weekend of October,
more places may close.
Tuesday, and snow is coming
down with wind. Are you ready
for round two?

Delmer and Mary Paulsen got
to make their trip to Colorado
Springs and visit their daughter
Lynn Mary and family. Grand-
daughter Hannah is in the eighth
grade now and was the Cantor for
Mass on Sunday evening, the
29th of September. Callie was one
of the servers at the St. Peter
Church in Monument, Colo.
In visiting with Frank Wilsey,
he said the river is a worry but
they didnt get a hugh amount of
snow just the storm. He had just
a few calves temporarily blinded
and had to move hay bales away
from it.
Kathleen Shull was so excited
about her new great-grandson Eli
Thomas. His parents are Mary
Lynn and Joey Roeder. They were
snowed in at Rapid City during
the storm but it has settled down
now.
Josh Geigle did fine during the
storm. It was a storm but it could
have been worse.
People are talking about the
devastation on the road and side
sights going to Rapid City. It is
heart breaking and that is a
farmer/ranchers yearly wages
laying there.
Mary Wilsey is visiting her sis-
ter in Spearfish for a few days.
On Delbert and Mary Paulsens
trip, they left before the storm so
they got to enjoy their trip and
also the evening meal on Satur-
day, while in Colorado Springs.
They also enjoyed a great garden
and Mary was busy canning be-
fore going and they enjoyed tak-
ing the produce to share.
Sunday evening, Delbert and
Mary enjoyed attending their gift
program with friends and neigh-
bors at the St. Patricks Church,
that was well attended.
They did bring their garden
pumpkins and winter squash into
the quonset before the storm to
save them from nasty weather.
Mary Paulsen is anxiously
waiting for the birth of a great-
nephew and praying all goes well
for all.
I got my usual please leave a
message and we will get back to
you or no answer at all. I also en-
joyed a great visit with Kathleen
and then with Frank.
May the Countryside send sin-
cerest sympathy to those that
have lost loved ones and those
waiting for loved ones to heal and
get better.

chapter in the book of wisdom.

FINANCIAL FOCUS
WHAT DOES GOvERNMENT
SHUTDOWN MEAN TO
INvESTORS?
Richard Wahlstrom
www.edwardjones.com
As youre well aware, a partial
government shutdown began on
Oct. 1. No matter what ones views
are on the political issues that led
to this event, its probably fair to
say that a shutdown is not partic-
ularly good news, on many fronts.
Although essential services will
continue, including Social Security
and Medicare payments, other
governmental functions will be dis-
rupted, and hundreds of thousands
of workers will be furloughed. So,
as a citizen, you may well have
concerns about the shutdown. But
how will the shutdown affect you
as an investor?
First of all, you may want to
take to heart the slogan popular-
ized by the British in World War
II: Keep calm and carry on. You
dont need to panic, nor do you
need to make massive changes to
your investment portfolio or even
take a time out from investing.
Its highly likely that, like all polit-
ical/economic traumas in the past,
this one, too, shall pass.
To gain some perspective, you
might be interested in knowing
that the current situation is not
unique. Weve had 17 government
shutdowns in the past, most re-
cently in 1996. And the overall ef-
fect of these shutdowns on the fi-
nancial markets has not been par-
ticularly negative. Stocks dropped
during nine of these shutdowns
and rose during the other eight.
Once the shutdowns ended, the av-
erage stock market gain was 2.5%
over the following three months
and 13.3% over the following 12
months, according to an analysis of
the S & P 500 stock market index.
Of course, as youve no doubt
heard, past performance cannot
guarantee future results, so you
shouldnt necessarily expect the
market to turn in similar results
once this current shutdown is over.
Nonetheless, the history of the
markets performance following
government shutdowns does tell
us something about the tremen-
dous ability of the financial mar-
kets to absorb short-term crises
and then move on.
This isnt to say that you wont
see some volatility in the days and
weeks ahead if the shutdown con-
tinues for a while. The financial
markets do not like uncertainty,
and while some of this uncertainty
may already have been factored
in during the past few weeks, as
the possibility of a shutdown in-
creased, we may still see some sig-
nificant price gyrations.
Try not to overreact to these
price swings, if they do occur. If
you feel you must do something
with regard to your investments,
why not take this opportunity to
look over your long-term strategy
to make sure its still properly
aligned with your goals, risk toler-
ance and time horizon? Over time,
your personal situation can change
in many ways, so its always a good
idea to review your investment
portfolio, and to make those
changes that can help you con-
tinue making progress toward
your objectives, such as a comfort-
able retirement.
Furthermore, if we do see some
price declines, you may well be
presented with the opportunity to
buy quality investments at good
prices, so stay alert for these pos-
sibilities.
Above all else, dont let the head-
lines of today scare you away from
investing for tomorrow. With pa-
tience, discipline and the ability to
maintain a long-term perspective
in spite of short-term events, you
can develop good investment
habits that will serve you well for
a lifetime.
State Parks open after early October
blizzard
Though State Parks in western
South Dakota were affected by the
early fall blizzard last week, park
officials say that all parks have re-
opened with the exception of
Shadehill Recreation Area near
Lemmon.
Shadehill Recreation Area will
likely be without power for another
week.
The electric company is focused
on restoring power to residential
areas first, said Shadehill man-
ager Jim Straight. We hope to
have electricity to the campground
by next weekend.
In addition to the power outage,
Shadehill also lost around 30 per-
cent of its trees. Nearby Llewellyn
Johns campground is open with
electricity.
French Creek Horse Camp,
Game Lodge and Blue Bell Camp-
grounds are open at Custer State
Park. Needles Highway remains
closed; however, all other park
roads are open.
With the exception of some tree
branch cleanup, the park is back to
normal for this time of the year,
said park superintendent Matt
Snyder. Custer State Park did not
lose any buffalo or wildlife to the
storm.
There are downed trees and large
snow drifts on the Mickelson Trail.
The trail is open, but it could take
several weeks to completely clear
the trail.
Angostura Recreation Area near
Hot Springs and Rocky Point
Recreation Area near Belle Fourche
received some tree damage, but
both parks are fully functional.

and you'll find only one. There is only one God
in the Bible, and He is the creator of all things.

mediate attention while others
may be dealt with at a later time.
Decisions made soon after the
damage occurs can, and will, de-
termine whether or not a dam-
aged tree survives.
Do not prune or remove more
than necessary right after an oc-
currence. Remove any hazards,
and clean up roughly broken
branches, but save major deci-
sions on pruning and removals for
later.
While the damage may look se-
vere at first, concentrate more on
how to save the tree rather than
making a quick decision to cut it
down.
Damaged trees may still be
able to serve the function for
which they were planted. Don't be
too hasty to remove a tree if that
decision can be delayed until
spring or even for a year. The tree
may not have been damaged as
badly as first believed.
On the other hand, a major in-
jury may reduce the useful life of
the tree. Severe or large wounds
can produce an entry point for
decay, fungi or insects.
The only pruning that really
needs to be done immediately
after damage has occurred is the
removal of broken branches.
If damage occurs during the
winter leave the fine pruning and
finishing cuts until late winter or
early spring. All pruning cuts will
dry out to some degree during the
winter.
Die back of inner bark around a
pruning cut can be minimized if
final pruning is left until just be-
fore the tree begins to grow in the
spring.
If a tree is injured so badly that
it must be removed, consider re-
placing it. Before planting a new
tree, make sure the replacement
tree is the proper species and size
for the site.
Contact your Conservation Of-
fice or tree nursery for advice on
tree selection and planting.
Before you completely dispose
of all your branches check out a
Google search or Pintrest for
some interesting uses of tree
branches. It isnt every day we
have branches to use!!

The Wall Lady Eagles traveled
to Philip for a rival game on
Thursday, October 10th.
The first time we met Philip
this year it took five sets to decide
the match and it was highly con-
tested until the end.
This time Philip took control
early and was able to take advan-
tage of some Wall players that
were feeling a bit under the
weather.
Wall had a hard time making
hits count and were not able to get
much offense going throughout
the game. Philip took the game in
three sets.
Leading the Eagles were Nicole
Eisenbraun and Kaitlin Schreiber
both with 100 percent serving,
Katy Bielmaier with seven kills
and one block, Emily Linn with 10
assists and Tayah Huether with
13 digs.
The Eagles face off against New
Underwood on Thursday, October
17, in a make-up game from the
blizzard followed by the Douglas
Tournament on Saturday, October
19.

day afternoon, October 1, in a
hard fought battle with Philip, 7

closed recently because no help
was available.

ner would lose his temper? 10.
Peggy didnt fall down every kit-
tenball practice? Mr. Gardner ev-
idently thinks there is something
quite serious between Warren
and Irene as he asked Ruth if
they had eloped last Thursday,
when they were both absent from
school. Peggy and Kathleen seem
to be interested in the affairs of
Philip. I wonder why?

Pennington County authorities
are investigating the theft of over
$42,000 worth of gold jewelry
from the Buffalo Gift Shop in
Wall, following a break-in at the
shop between 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oc-
tober 11, and 8:30 a.m. Wednes-
day, October 12. The jewelry
stolen included Black Hills gold
rings and bracelets, according to
investigators. This was the sec-
ond theft at the Buffalo Gift Shop
in recent months. In July, thieves
broke through the rear door of the
shop and stole around $3000
worth of jewelry. That burglary
has not been solved.
The theft of a 13-inch black and
white television set and a shop
vacuum cleaner from the Big
Foote School is being investigated
by local authorities, according to
Wall Police Chief Norman Kling-
bile. The theft occurred this past
weekend. Klingbile, who says the
incident probably happened Sat-
urday night, said entry was
gained to the school by prying
through the front door.

Crowned the 1993 Homecoming
King and Queen were Ryan Pat-
terson and Shannon Shampson.
It wasnt a pretty game, and it
would be argued that it wasnt
even a good game. A hopelessly
out-classed Rapid City Christian
was stomped by the Wall Eagles
football team, 40-0. The home-
coming victory was sweet, how-
ever. Ice and freezing tempera-
tures delayed the Wall Homecom-
ing game from Friday night to
Saturday afternoon, providing
perfect football weather to make
up for the delay.
It was a good basketball game
for Wall as they played the
Kadoka Kougars, until the third
quarter when things fell apart
leading to a 49-44 loss to Kadoka.
The B-squad was also defeated by
Kadoka, 27-32.
BIRTH: Born September 9,
1993 a girl, Shelly Josephina, to

ber 10, against the New Under-
wood Tigers. Wall defeated New

38 to 6.
With the Lady Eagles hitting

Monday, October 6, the girls had
a tough match-up with the Tigers.

battle, as they had to play all five
games, and then came up short
the fifth game.
The Looking Glass of Time
Every now and then we hear
these questions nagging at us, ei-
ther in reality or in our imagina-
tions. What is this all about? Why
are we doing it this way? Where are
we going? When will we get there?
How will we know when we get
there? Who is staying with us?
These are all good questions just
begging for an answer, would you
not agree?
Here is what happens. (Keep in
mind, this can happen on the job or
in our personal life). We are busy;
our schedules jam-packed. There
are pressing deadlines and de-
mands literally shouting for us to
hurry up and get things done. So
much of the day is given over to
whatever seems most urgent, and
yet you have this nagging feeling
that what you value most-the really
important things in your life-are
being left in the dust. Every day
starts out the same-so much to do,
so little time to do it in. We promise
ourselves that the important things
will get done, but at the end of the
day, we realize all we have done is
rushed around stomping out brush
fires, and what is most important to
us has been left-again-by the way-
side.
Time passes all too quickly, at a
blinding speed that many times
stunts our better judgment and
thinking. It's at this time when the
haunting questions come, and we
realize we have lost our focus, and
we can't seem to find our motivation
anywhere. Our momentum, too,
seems to have got up and left. Dis-
couragement abounds and we need
answers now!
So what's the solution? What we
need, quite frankly, is to step back,
regroup, and rethink our reasons
for doing things in a certain way,
method or manner. After all, if we
keep doing a certain thing a certain
way with out thinking of change or
improvement, we can very easily be
left in the dust. (Can't say I am
aware of any buggy whip manufac-
turing companies that are profiting
today, can you?)
In other words, a much needed
clarification, or possibly a re-clarifi-
cation, of the mission must occur if
we are to regain our focus, be
rightly motivated, and build mo-
mentum for future success. Each of
us needs to rethink the purpose be-
hind what we are doing, by asking
ourselves these two basic questions:
"What do I want?" and "Why do I
want that?" and then writing down
the answers to be able to see things
from a new and improved perspec-
tive.
Is it time for you to do a little
"tweaking" on your mission? I can
guarantee you will never regret tak-
ing the time to examine your focus
and motivations, as you clarify your
mission, and your momentum will
most assuredly begin to pick up
speed. Call or write me if you need
help with clarifying your mission.

PENNINGTON COUNTY

RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT
OF STATE LEGISLATION
PROHIBITING THE USE OF
ELECTRONIC

DEVICES TO COMPOSE,

ELECTRONIC MESSAGES
WHILE OPERATING A
MOTOR VEHICLE
WHEREAS, according to
the NHTSA, in 2010 3,092
people were killed in crashes
involving a distracted driver
and an estimated additional
416,000 were injured in motor
vehicle crashes involving a dis-
tracted driver, and
WHEREAS, texting while
driving is one of the most dan-
gerous of all distracted driving
activities because it takes your
hands off the wheel and eyes
and mind off the road, and
WHEREAS, sending or
reading a text averages 4.6
seconds and, at 55 mph thats
like driving the length of a foot-
ball field blindfolded which cre-
ates a crash risk 23 times
worse than nondistracted driv-
ing, and
WHEREAS, without a uni-
form state-wide law prohibiting
such activity, motorists and
pedestrians are subject to a
checkerboard application of in-
consistent local ordinances fur-
ther confusing those subject to
the law and leaving significant
populated areas without ade-
quate safeguards in place; now
therefore,
BE IT HEREBY RE-
SOLVED that the Pennington
County Commission is in favor
of legislation being introduced
and enacted during the 2014
legislative session prohibiting
the use of electronic devices
while operating a motor vehi-
cle.

deputy and vacations taken. He stated
the new deputies are still scheduled to
start in January.
The Auditors were unable to attend and
give the presentation on the 2012 audit
because of sick family members. They
are rescheduled for the November meet-
ing.
The property at 428 Fourth Avenue has
been purchased by Tim Eisenbraun and
a building permit to demolish the house
and garage was submitted. Motion by S
Anderson, second by Patterson to ap-
prove the permit for demolition with a
completion date of December 31, 2013
and to waive the rubble site fees. Motion
carried.
The following building permits were re-
viewed: Jim Reynolds at 408 Glenn

Discussion was held again on the Wall
Health Service. The attorney was con-
tacted about drawing up a lease agree-
ment between the City and Regional
Health Service (RHS). The attorney re-
quested answers to several questions
that would need to be addressed in the
agreement. The council felt Brett Blasius
and a representative from RHS would
need to attend the November meeting be-
fore moving forward any farther with the
agreement.
Motion by Patterson, second by S Ander-
son to approve Dave Jones as the librar-
ian assistant with an hourly wage of
$7.75, with the previous assistant unable
to fulfill the position. Motion carried.
Finance Officer (FO) Anderson asked for
a set wage for a fill-in employee in the ab-
sence of the librarian and assistant librar-
ian. Motion by Patterson, second by M
Anderson to approve an hourly wage of
$8.00 for a fill-in. Motion carried.
Mayor Hahn asked Ray Williams to ad-
dress the council on the invoice that was
submitted for payment. Ray explained he
was contacted by the public works em-
ployees to run his rotor router in the
sewer main so it could be located for the
contractor working on the sewer project.
Public Works Director (PWD) Bryan com-
mented the contractors planned on pay-
ing that expense. Williams was directed
to submit his bill to Site Works Specialists.
Williams commented he wanted the
council to be aware he has started a
plumbing service and would like to be
considered when there were any plumb-
ing needs.
PWD Bryan reported a quote for boring
on the I-90 light repair was $12 a foot and
there would be approximately 3,000 feet
to bore. Bryan was in contact with the
State for permission to do the boring and
Gary Engel with the State indicated they
may be able to help with the costs. Bryan
will report back when he hears back from
Engel.
The Engineers estimate for the
2013/2014 Street Improvement project
was $258,673.50. Two bids were re-
ceived; Hills Material Company for
$448,203.00 and from Simon Contractors
of SD for $404,469.35. The Engineers
recommendation was to reject the bids
and to rebid the project for January 23,
2014. Comments were made that funds
for this project are $375,000 which would
include the engineers fees. Some cuts
may need to be made on the project and
possibly having the PW employees do
some of the tear out for the project since
the City now has a backhoe that could be
used. Motion by S Anderson, second by
Hauk to reject all bids. Motion carried.
Motion by Patterson, second by Hauk to
have the street committee review the op-
tions to cut costs for rebidding the project.
Motion carried.
Mayor Hahn commented on the condition
of the Airport Road. Hahn stated it use to
be the old Highway and was turned over
to the City since it was in the limits of the
City. The City council at that time agreed
to retain pavement on a portion and the
rest would be graveled. The pavement
portion has major potholes and needs to
be repaired or turned into gravel. Motion
by Patterson, second by S Anderson to
have the street committee meet to review
the options and bring back for council ap-
proval. Motion carried.
Two quotes from H-C Galloway on up-
grade options for the water system was
reviewed. The water fund is over budget
already with emergency repairs done on
Well #2 and #7. Motion by S Anderson,
second by Hauk to have the water com-
mittee meet to review the options and
bring back a recommendation for the
2014 Expenditure Budget. Motion carried.
There is 2,075 gallons left in the 2013
propane contract. The contract price for
2014 is $1.49/9 per gallon. Motion by
Hustead, second by M Anderson to ap-
prove contracting 8,000 gallons of
propane. Motion carried.
Croells Concrete was requesting to get
water service from West River Lyman
Jones because of the high temperature
the City of Wall provides; therefore, cre-
ates issues with the set up on their con-
crete. It was discussed there could be
other options for Croells to cool the water
down and therefore did not want to set a
precedence by allowing then to get their
water from another provider. Motion by
Hustead, second by S Anderson to deny
Croells request. Motion carried.
Motion by S Anderson, second by Hus-
tead to approve Resolution 13-09; Home-
coming requests. Motion carried.
RESOLUTION 13-9

RESOLUTION 13-11
A RESOLUTION
SIGNIFYING THE CITY OF
WALL POSITION ON TAX
EXEMPTIONS FOR
MUNICIPAL BONDS
Whereas, municipal bonds
are the means by which state
and local governments finance
the critical infrastructure of our
nation, including roads,
bridges, hospitals, schools,
and utility systems; and
Whereas, under current law
the owners of municipal bonds
are not required to pay federal
income tax on the interest in-
come they receive from the
bonds; and
Whereas, this tax exemp-
tion is part of a more than cen-
tury long system of reciprocal
immunity under which owners
of federal bonds are, in turn,
not required to pay state and
local income tax on the interest
they receive from federal
bonds; and
Whereas, this federal tax
exemption provides a signifi-
cant difference between public
sector and private sector debt
financing; and
Whereas, municipalities
benefit from this tax exemption
through substantial savings on
the interest cost of borrowed
money; and
Whereas, the benefit of
lower capital costs attributable
to tax exempt financing are
passed on to property tax pay-
ers through reduced rates,
greater local investments, or
both; and
Whereas, from time to time
Congress and the President
have proposed legislation to
tax or alter the federal tax ex-
emption of interest on munic-
ipal bonds; and
Now, Therefore, Be It Re-
solved, that the City of Wall,
South Dakota opposes any ef-
forts by Congress and this, or
any future, President to elimi-
nate or limit the federal tax ex-
emption on interest earned
from municipal bonds.

FO Anderson explained last months mo-
tion to approve dissolving the tax ID for
Eastern Pennington County Transit
(EPCT) and the Cemetery did not include
naming the check signers on those ac-
counts which is needed for the Banks
records. Motion by Patterson, second by
Hustead to approve the Mayor, Finance
Officer, Council President and Council
Vice-President as check signers on the
EPCT and Cemetery bank accounts. Mo-
tion carried.
PWD Bryan explained the monthly cost
for a street light at Lariat Drive would de-
pend on the bulb that was used on the
pole. The cost could range from $11.00 -
$20.00. The trenching estimate for the
wiring was $428.00 by TLC or $328 by
Todd Sieler. The pole and hook-up would
be at WREA expense. Mayor Hahn ques-
tioned whether the PW employees could
doing the digging for the wire with the
newly purchased backhoe. Motion by
Patterson, second by S Anderson to hire
Todd Sieler for the trenching and to use
WREA recommendation on the wattage
of bulb to use for that area. Motion car-
ried.
PWD Bryan commented the sprinkler
system at the Park does not work prop-
erly, there are some faults in the wiring.
He was in contact with the Sprinkler
Guys from Rapid City and they would
come down and locate the problems and
make a recommendation on the repair
costs for $80.00 - $100.00. This would
need to wait until spring with the season
ending. Motion by S Anderson, second by
M Anderson to hire the contractor next
spring to determine the problems with the
Park sprinkler system. Motion carried.
PWD Bryan reported the meters at Well
#6 and #2 are still not working properly.
The meter at #6 is under warranty and the
problem with the meter at #2 is still being
determined.
PWD Bryan questioned the process for
getting quotes for larger purchases or re-
pairs. The consensus was to meet with
the committee that would pertain to the
purchase; thus, to get a recommendation
whether to proceed with the quote
process.
PWD Bryan explained the Bobcat tires
are showing wear with 700 hours of use
on them. He checked on cost for retreads,
they would cost approximately $200 a
tire, replacement of the same tire would
be $314 a tire and severe duty tires would
cost $386.25 a tire. Motion by S Ander-
son, second by M Anderson to purchase
four (4) retreads. Motion carried.
The Water Usage report showed 20%
water loss for September. With the water
leaks that occurred due to Site Works
Specialist hitting water mains it is hard to
track accurately. The sales tax report was
reviewed and it is down 2%.
Mayor Hahn commented the West River
Lyman Jones annual meeting will be in
the community center October 9th, start-
ing at 5:00pm. The Wall Badlands Cham-
ber Appreciation Supper has been post-
poned until October 24th. The WREA an-
nual meeting has also been postponed
until October 19th.
The employee evaluations need to be
completed along with PWD Bryans six
month probation period nearing comple-
tion. Motion by Hustead, second by M An-
derson to begin the November 7th council
meeting with executive session at 5:45pm
to review Bryans probation and pending
any requests from the other employees
after being evaluated to start the execu-
tive session earlier if needed. Motion car-
ried.

day, November 7th at 6:30pm.
With no further business the meeting was

Chairperson Eisenbraun thanked Andrew
Ferris for being present to video for Teen
19.
An open enrollment application was
passed around for the Board to review.
4850. Bielmaier moved to approve the
open enrollment application for Collin
Hunt. Seconded by Cordes. Motion car-
ried.
Rieckman discussed allowing Philip to be
part of the Wall-Kadoka gymnastics co-
op.
4851. Cordes moved to approve Res-
olution #14-2 which approves to add
Philip to our gymnastics cooperative as
outlined by the SDHSAA. Seconded by
Williams. Motion carried.
Next, the board discussed entering into a
propane contract with Des Oil at the price
of $1.499 per gallon.
4852. Cordes moved to approve con-
tracting 6,500 gallons with Des Oil at
$1.499 per gallon. Seconded by John-
son. Motion carried.
Rieckman wanted to have a general dis-
cussion about the Common Core stan-
dards due to the recent hype over the
changes, etc. There may be legislation
this year to back off Common Core.
Rieckman asked Samra Trask to discuss
some of the changes in the math stan-
dards due to the Common Core Stan-
dards being implemented. Trask dis-
cussed the new Smarter Balanced as-
sessments that will be used to test the
students. A Common Core meeting
sponsored by the Rapid City School Dis-
trict is being planned for October 30th in
Rapid City. More information on specifics
will be coming out soon. Anyone inter-
ested in learning more about Common
Core is encouraged to attend.
Elementary Principal Sykora informed the
Board that parent-teacher conferences
will be held on October 16th and 17th.
The Elementary attendance is at 98%
and there are still 75 students who have
perfect attendance. With the help of Ms.
Pittman the 2012-2013 District Report
Card is completed and will be distributed
to local business for viewing. Community
members may also contact the school for
a copy.
Business Manager Mohr noted she has
been very busy with insurance topics
dealing with changes caused by health-
care reform. She also noted that effective
October 1st our health insurance admin-
istrator is now Wellmark not First Admin-
istrators.
Rieckman referred to the Junior High
Girls Basketball rules that were sent out.
There was discussion about 9b that
states Shoes and socks shall be blue,
white or black only. Board members
were concerned about athletes who
planned to use shoes from volleyball, etc.
that have other colors included.
4853. Trask moved to approve the
2013-2014 Junior High Girls Basketball
rules with a change made to 9b noting
athletes may wear shoes they have from
another sport even if they arent blue,
black, or white. Seconded by Johnson.
Motion carried.
Rieckman gave an Impact Aid update.
He attended a conference in Washington
DC a couple weeks ago and noted that
the Districts most recent application has
been filed. They were told at the confer-
ence that the timeline for approval would
possibly be November, but with the gov-
ernment shutdown we are not sure of the
timeline now.
Next, the Board approved the Indian poli-
cies and procedures for purposes of Im-
pact Aid funding.
4854. Cordes moved to approve the In-
dian policies and procedures. Seconded
by Trask. Motion carried.
Rieckman asked if any of the members
were available to attend Delegate Assem-
bly.
4855. Johnson moved to approve
Member Williams or Member Anderson to
attend Delegate Assembly on behalf of
our Board. Seconded by Cordes. Motion
carried.
Rieckman notified the Board members
about an open position on the ASBSD
Board they may run for if they choose.
A couple of the topics that will be dis-
cussed at Delegate Assembly are the
equalization of Capital Outlay funding and
Other Revenue. Our District is against
the equalization of Capital Outlay funding
because we would have less funding and
some of our taxpayer dollars would be
going to fund other schools. Our District
is also against any legislation dealing with
getting rid of Other Revenue.
Rieckman asked the Board to think about
the possibility of purchasing a generator
due to the recent storm when power was
lost.
Next month, Lunchtime Solutions will be
present at the meeting to discuss serv-
ices they could offer our lunch program.
CBM should be present at the December
or January meeting to discuss what their
company could offer our lunch program.
With no further business brought to the
board, Chairperson Eisenbraun declared
the meeting adjourned at 8:30 p.m.

Business Manager

FOCUS ON THE FAMILY
with Dr. James
Dobson
Dr. Dobson Answers
your Questions
QUESTION: My husband is bipo-
lar but he refuses to seek treatment
what should I do? I want our mar-
riage to work, but the strain on our
relationship is becoming too much to
bear.
ANSWER: Bipolar Disorder is a
serious and extremely complex psy-
cho-physical condition. Causes can
include genetic, environmental, and
medical factors, as well as poor life
choices. For these reasons, optimal
treatment consists of a combination
of physical, psychological, and spiri-
tual intervention and support. In
most cases, appropriate medication
(usually mood stabilizers and anti-
depressants) is indispensable, along
with Christian counseling for the
sufferer, his spouse, and sometimes
his family.
If your spouse is unwilling to sub-
mit to this kind of treatment, your
response will have to focus primarily
on the need to protect yourself and
the other members of your family
from the negative fallout of his poor
choices. This could mean a number
of different things: tough love, in-
tervention, possibly even a tempo-
rary separation, designed to force a
crisis in your husbands life. With-
out detailed information we really
arent in a position to suggest a more
specific plan.
Focus on the Family makes avail-
able an excellent online list of re-
sources designed to help families
like yours. One of the best books
available on the subject of depres-
sion, mental illness, and Bipolar dis-
ease is Dr. Paul Meiers Mood
Swings. In it, Dr. Maier suggests
that you nurture, support, and en-
courage the bipolar sufferer while
also maintaining realistic expecta-
tions and setting appropriate bound-
aries. Such limits will depend on
your individual situation. They
might include:
Taking away all credit cards.
Assuming legal control over
banking privileges.
Taking away car keys during a
mood-swing episode.
Insisting on hospitalization (in
spite of resistance) whenever the
sufferer is out of control. Obviously,
this may require the intervention
and physical assistance of a group of
friends.
Meanwhile, both you and your
spouse need to understand that
there is nothing sinful or shameful
about seeking professional psycho-
logical and medical assistance in
cases of genuine Bipolar Disorder.
Its a condition that arises directly
from an imbalance between three
important chemical neurotransmit-
ters which function to control de-
pression and euphoria within the
brain: serotonin, dopamine, and
norepinephrine. As such, its a prob-
lem that can and should be dealt
with medically. There are many
other diseases associated with simi-
lar chemical imbalances for exam-
ple, diabetes, migraine headaches,
cancer, and thyroid disease but few
carry the social stigma that is often
attached to Bipolar Disorder. As
youre probably aware, many unin-
formed people draw a connection be-
tween this particular disorder and
the sufferers moral and spiritual
character. This is a dangerous mis-
understanding that needs to be cor-
rected. Here again Dr. Paul Meier
has written a book, Blue Genes, that
can be extremely helpful in dis-
pelling some of the more common
myths and misconceptions about
Bipolar Disorder.
You are in a difficult position, and
you need all the outside help you can
get. Wed strongly encourage you to
seek out the fellowship of a support
network, possibly through your
church or a special interest group.
You should also consider the option
of getting assistance from a licensed
Christian counselor, with or without
your husbands willing participation.
QUESTION: Whats the best way
to bring up sensitive issues with my
spouse? Im concerned about things
that are going in our marriage, but
Im afraid to talk to my spouse about
them because I dont want to start a
fight and make things worse.
ANSWER: When tough topics
come up, couples can find lots of
places to veer into the ditch. Some
pitfalls are dug before marriage if
you didnt develop the right skills in
your family of origin, its hard to
learn how to manage conflict with a
spouse. Other mistakes can be
traced to simple inexperience.
Whatever your situation, there
will always be some topics that are
trickier to address with your spouse
than others. Even in the happiest
marriages issues like in-laws, fi-
nances, sex, major purchases, or hol-
iday traditions can quickly shake
things up. Handling these matters
can be difficult, but its not impossi-
ble. The important thing is to stay
away from the twin errors of 1)
avoiding conflict at any cost, and 2)
escalating conflict into unmanage-
able chaos. You need to find ways to
talk about your concerns calmly, ra-
tionally, and constructively. There
are a number of practical ways you
can do this.
Begin by acquiring the skills you
need in order to discuss sensitive is-
sues in a civilized manner. Chris-
tian bookstores are loaded with
books all about the role of communi-
cation in marriage. In cases like
yours, utilizing the right body lan-
guage, word choice, and tone of voice
can make a huge difference. Its also
important to time your discussion
appropriately. Get rid of distractions
like television, cell phones, pagers,
and interruptions from kids. And
make a point of starting every dis-
cussion with prayer this habit can
literally transform your marriage.
Once you start talking, take delib-
erate measures to keep the conver-
sation principle-centered. Dont ask
whos right. Ask whats right. If you
attack the problem instead of the
other person, youll help to create a
safe environment thats conducive to
sharing at a deep, effective level on
any topic.
Throughout the process, make it
your priority to partner with your
spouse in any way you can. While
its critical to find the truth about is-
sues affecting your marriage, rela-
tionship is always more important
than issues. Youre partners, not
prosecutors, and that partnership
doesnt end when you discuss sensi-
tive topics. It can be helpful to stop
and ask yourself whether youre
showing your spouse the same re-
spect youd show your co-workers or
friends. If youre Christians, ask
yourself whether youre acting first
as a brother and sister in Christ and
second as husband and wife.
Remember this: if the thought of
discussing a sensitive subject has
you fearing your spouses reaction,
youre losing focus. Your agenda
should be to please God and speak
the truth in love. If thats your goal,
you wont hesitate to bring up the is-
sues that are threatening the health
of your marriage, regardless of the
potential for conflict.
