School funding, financial oversight

to highlight legislature
The governor spells out much of
his legislative agenda in Tuesdays State of the State speech to
open the 2014 legislative session,
while legislators already are
shaping their own proposals.
Traditional issues such as the
state budget, property taxes and
education funding will once again
percolate throughout the session
while new ones such as beefed-up
oversight of the states financial
picture and economic development programs by legislators will
enter the scene.
The 89th legislative session
runs for 38 days, with the final
day of the main portion set for
March 14 and a veto day scheduled for March 31.
Gov. Dennis Daugaard has proposed a three percent increase in
per-pupil funding from state aid
and general-education property
taxes for public school districts.
Some school officials and legislators would like to see a 3.8 percent hike to get school funding
back to levels before budget cuts
that were made in 2011.
I think that a discussion will
take place regarding 3.8 percent,
but the truth is there is not the
ongoing funding available to get
to that number, said Senate Majority Leader Tim Rave (R-Baltic).
We were lucky to get to three
percent with the influx of the $70
million extra one-time money and
should move forward.
Rave adds that if near the end
of the session legislators discover
that the states financial picture
is rosier than anticipated, the discussion to consider a school-aid
increase greater than three percent could be intensified.
House Minority Leader Bernie
Hunhoff (D-Yankton) supports a
3.8 percent increase for education
funding.
A bipartisan summer study of
lawmakers recommended a 3.8
percent increase. Thats affordable and I support the summer
study report, Hunhoff said.
A legislative interim committee
studying school funding last fall
recommended a 3.8 percent increase in education funding on an

8-7 vote.
Meanwhile, the controversy
that developed last year over
state-involved funding and support for the bankrupted beef
packing plant in Aberdeen will
draw attention from legislators in
the coming weeks.
Questions also surfaced about
the states involvement in a federal program to recruit foreign investors, the EB5 visa program.
The EB5 program is only part
of the fiasco that were facing,
Hunhoff said. The inherent failure of our trickle-down economic
development philosophy is being
exposed in bits and pieces. To restore confidence and ensure that
we have policies and programs
geared toward helping South
Dakotans, we need an exhaustive
and independent audit.
Republican legislators want to
wait for the results of various ongoing financial investigations involving the Governors Office of
Economic Development before
making any further decisions.
We will address that issue
when the U.S. attorney finishes
his investigation and we have all
the information in hand to make
sure we are making educated decisions about any issues, Rave
said. To do anything before we
have all the audits and investigations are complete would probably not be productive.
Legislators also want to step up
their role in the state budget
process. They are proposing that
the governor present his proposed
budget to the legislature three
weeks earlier. Now the governor
presents his budget in the first
few weeks of December.
Legislators also want the governors budget office to pay attention to recommendations of the
Legislature Planning Committee
and present a long-term financial
plan annually to the legislature.
Bills that are introduced and
work being done by legislative
committees and chambers can be
tracked on the South Dakota Legislative Research Councils website. Contact information for all
legislators also is on the website.

with RCRH to lease Wall Clinic

by Laurie Hindman
Rapid City Regional Health
(RCRH) Attorney Jason Green addressed the Wall City Council during their Tuesday, January 7
meeting. Green has made the necessary changes to the lease agreement between RCRH and the City
of Wall for the Wall Clinic.
Green said he has put a provision in the lease if all goes well
over the next five years and both
parties are okay with the arrangements the lease will automatically
roll over for another five years.
Green also advised the council
on the liability insurance for the
clinic. He went on to say RCRH
maintains a liability insurance
policy that has not less than one
million in coverage and if the city
wants more coverage RCRH
would have to look elsewhere for
additional coverage. Council members were okay with the coverage
amount and would like the insurance to be included in the lease.
The council approved the lease
agreement with the provisions
and to have Mayor Dave Hahn
sign the lease when the city receives it.
S.D. Farm Wine licenses were
granted for Matt Steiner, owner of
Broken Arrow business and Frontier Cabins with stipulations. All
business from here on who request a S.D. Farm Wine license
will be required to stay open year
round. Finance Officer Carolynn
Anderson will publish all the requirements for hearings and will
make appropriate changes to the
ordinance.
C. Anderson has received several complaints about snow not
being removed from sidewalks. It
was discussed whether to put a

notice in the paper or send out

postcards to remind residents to
keep their sidewalks clean. The
council approved a motion to send
out postcards.
C. Anderson has spoken to Lucille Holsether about the ambulance
receiveable
accounts.
Holsether is in the process of contacting a collection agency that
has been used in the past to come
down and look to see what accounts can be collected.
Captain Jay Evanson with the
Pennington County Sheriff s
Dept. introduced Sgt. Todd Battest who is the new supervisor for
the department. Evanson also
noted that the month of December
was very quite in Wall.
After a lengthy discussion of
whether to delete or keep the city
mailbox ordinance it was approved through a motion to keep
it on the books.
The council approved to combine the election agreement with
Wasta and Wall Public School for
publication costs and with the
school if there is need of an election.
Tuesday, June 17, 2014 was approved for an election date.
Positions open for election are:
Mayor- two year term; Ward 1 two year term - Rick Hustead;
Ward 2 - two year term - Stan Anderson and Ward 3 - two year term
- Jerry Morgan.
Petitions for those openings can
be circulated beginning Tuesday,
April 8 and returned to the City
Finance Office by Friday, May 9 at
5:00 p.m.
A sign permit was approved for
the Wall Clinic.
Transfer of the Beautification
budget balance to reserve for 2014

in the amount of $606.60 was approved.

First Interstate Bank was approved as the official depository
for the city.
The water usage report still
shows a 11 percent water loss.
Public Works Director Garrett
Bryan is waiting to hear from
Nick Jackson with S.D. Rural
Water to see what the issue could
be.
Bryan gave an update on Well
#2. He has spoken with the City
Engineer Ted Schulz who said
they would need to pull the pump
and put a camera down the casing
going into the well to see where
the problem is. Hahn thought it
would cost between $5,000 and
$8,000 and questioned if the city
wanted to make that investment
when it might be more feasible to
dig a new well next to the old one.
Bryan is waiting to hear from
Gary English on the I-90 lighting
issue.
New meter readers are needed
for wells 3 and 6. The council authorized purchase of two new meters and if they can receive a discount they will purchase one
more.
Other items approved by the
council:
Agenda.
Minutes for the city meetings
of December 5 and 30.
Minutes for the fire department.
Bills for the City of Wall, fire
department and library.
The next council meeting will
be held on Thursday, February 6
at 6:30 p.m. in the Wall Community Center meeting room.
With no other business, Hahn
adjourned the meeting.

Wall School Board hears from Lunchtime Solutions

by Laurie Hindman
Deni Winter and Chris Goeb
who represent Lunchtime Solutions attended the Wall School
Board meeting on Wednesday,
January 8.
Lunchtime Solutions works
with local school districts to operate their lunchroom. They provide
nutritional menus for students
which include several entrees for
each meal plus other healthy food
choices.
They also throw tailgate parties
and holiday dinners at school in
which the community can attend.
Winter and Goeb explained the
school district would still keep
control over the lunch program,
choosing what to offer, prices
charged for meals and extras, as
well as developing all of the food
service policies.
Winter also noted that they try
to buy locally grown vegetables,
fruit and meat but the meat has
to be USDA inspected.
Board member Mary Williams
asked if there is a food waste concern? Winter replied, yes, at first
but once they know what works
and what doesnt there is hardly
any food thrown away.
The board questioned whether
it would be any benefit to have an
outside company take over the
food service.
Business Manager Niki Mohr is
concerned with keeping students
who receive free or reduced meals
identities confidential and would
they be treated differently by students who do pay for their own
lunch tickets.
After
further
discussion
Williams asked that the issue be
brought to the February meeting.
In appreciation of South
Dakota School Board Recognition
Week Superintendent Dennis
Rieckman handed out certificates
to all board members.
Rieckman gave an update on
impact aid. Application 8003 is
out at this time and will have to
be submitted by Jan. 31. He also
asked if any of the board members are interested in attending
the Impact Aid meeting in Washington, D.C. in March. Board
Member Carolynn Anderson
replied she would like to attend
the meeting and will let him
know if she can go.

Spending at states farmers markets

tops $1 million in 2013
South Dakota farmers market
vendors sold over $1.3 million
worth of products in 2013 according to the South Dakota Department of Agriculture (SDDA) and
state farmers markets.
Direct marketing between
farmers and consumers is a growing niche in South Dakota agriculture, said ag development
representative Alison Kiesz.
Farmers are able to sell their
food directly to customers
through markets, Community
Supported Agriculture, roadside
stands and other similar venues.
The Department partnered
with 12 farmers markets in 2013
to determine gross sales, pricing
of products and conduct a customer survey.
South Dakota has at least 61
farmers markets in the state,
said Kiesz. Few operate year
round with monthly indoor markets during the winter and
weekly or bi-weekly markets during the summer. Farmers mar-

kets in this study were open for

18 weeks on average during the
growing season.
The surveys showed that while
market vendors are geared up for
early season sales in May and
June, customers are not often
shopping early in the season.
Sales and customers usually pick
up in July and August and taper
off in September.
Customers who shop at farmers markets are often loyal customers with 63 percent of them
shopping at the market two to
four times per month.
Nearly half of all customers reported spending $10-20 on each
trip to the farmers market while
29 percent of customers spent less
than $10 on each visit.
Fifty percent of customers purchased fruits and vegetables at
the market, 21 percent bought
baked goods and 16 percent took
home processed or prepared foods
such as jelly, salsa or pot pies.
Product pricing data was also

collected from various markets

across the state to assist sellers in
appropriate pricing for the future.
This information gives us some
valuable insight into statewide
customer habits and the great potential of this market, said Lucas
Lentsch, Secretary of Agriculture.
We look forward to a continued
partnership with these farmers
markets and helping grow the
local foods movement in South
Dakota.
Agriculture is South Dakota's
number one industry, generating
over $21 billion in annual economic activity and employing
more than 122,000 South
Dakotans.
The South Dakota Department
of Agriculture's mission is to promote, protect, preserve and improve this industry for today and
tomorrow. Visit us online at

Health News Service
At the tail end of last year the
Food and Drug Administration
approved a drug that may cure
some three million Americans
who have hepatitis C, a disease
that interferes with liver function
and can eventually lead to liver
cancer.
It's a serious illness; many people don't know they have it until
the first symptoms show up years
later, and those who do have it
undergo grueling and sometimes
ineffective treatments.
So when Gilead Sciences, the
manufacturer of sofosbuvir, which
goes by the brand name Sovaldi,
announced its new drug was
ready for prime time, doctors who
treat patients with the disease
cheered.
Results of clinical trials showed
side effects appeared to be mild
compared to those from conventional treatment and cure rates
seemed to be high. A hepatitis expert at Johns Hopkins said, "This
is about as hot as I've ever seen."
Stock analysts were ecstatic.
One told the New York Times
global sales---about 170 million
people worldwide are infected--could surpass the sales record of
$13 billion set by Lipitor, the
statin used to treat high cholesterol.
The press touted the good news,
too, as it customarily does when a
new wonder drug hits the market.
And as it too often does, it gave
short shrift to the price.
Sovaldi has one major drawback---its budget-busting price
tag. Gilead says it will cost
$84,000 for the three-month
treatment regime. That's $1,000 a
pill.
The debut of sofosbuvir offers a
clear example of how expensive
technology enters the medical
marketplace even before all the

evidence comes in that the drug

works. In Sovaldi's case not all
the new drug combinations have
been extensively tested. "We may
be in for surprises, still," said
Charles Rice, a hepatitis C expert
at Rockefeller University in New
York City.
It also raises important questions about who should pay for
the drug. Should it be Medicare?
Medicaid? Commercial insurers?
Or should it be the patients
whose insurance policies increasingly come with high amounts of
cost-sharing in the form of deductibles and coinsurance? And
what contribution does Sovaldi
make to the overall high price of
medical care in the U.S., the highest in the world?
Indeed these questions can be
asked about any new drug or
medical device. But they aren't.
Other countries have agencies
that deliberate such trade-offs.
We don't. To raise them conjures
up unpleasant images of rationing-patients deprived of lifesaving treatments. Asking them
also conflicts with a deeply held
American belief that the medicine
man sits at the right hand of God,
and we're willing to spend anything for cures and treatments
even if they are extraordinarily
pricey.
The entry of Sovaldi also invites serious questioning about
why the price of new medical
technology doesn't seem to decrease as prices for other technological advances do---computers,
for example. There's no downward pressure on prices. The
patent system for new drugs-protection from competition for seven
to 12 years---leaves drug makers
in the driver's seat. Payers pretty
much have to cough up what drug
makers charge. And federal rules
prevent Medicare, one of the
largest buyers of drugs, from ne-

gotiating with drug makers over

prices. Basically, what's left is
negative publicity, and the press
doesn't provide much of that.
A recent NPR segment did,
however, probing the high price of
sofosbuvir. It questioned why the
drug maker needed to make its
prices so high especially given the
large potential market for the
drug.
One hepatitis expert wanted to
know why once Gilead recovered
its costs it couldn't reduce the
price. "I don't want to say it's unfair, but it does start feeling more
exploitative," she told NPR listeners.
A Gilead vice president responded "That's very unlikely
that we would do that." Right now
they don't have to.
Instead Gilead said it would
help patients pay for the drug.
You know one of those patient assistance programs that no doubt
helps those who have no money
for such expensive treatment.
(These programs do meet testing; that is, help is available only
for those with the lowest incomes.)
But does that gesture do much
to bring down the cost of the drug
and thus the country's health care
tab that feeds into the insurance
premiums and cost of care we pay
out of pocket? No, say many experts. Such programs may serve
to keep drug prices high.
All this is something to ponder
as we move into an election year
with health care and its cost
promising to dominate the campaign.

Conservation Corner
What are Hostas?
Hostas are not a place to stay!
They are an extremely popular,
hardy herbaceous perennial plant
and are grown primarily for their
beautiful foliage. They are easy to
grow, shade tolerant, low maintenance plants.
The various varieties come in a
wide range of shapes, colors,
sizes, and textures and may be
solid in color or variegated in different combinations of blue,
green, white, and gold.
A hosta plant generally reaches
full maturity in four to eight
years, and its size depends on the
variety.
The miniature Baby Bunting

grows to only a few inches in diameter, while others reach eight

feet wide or larger.
All hostas bloom in summer
with spikes of lavender to white,
lily-like flowers. They are considered shade-tolerant plants but
most do not thrive in deep shade.
Hostas grow best in an exposure
to morning sun and afternoon
shade.
Although the recommended
conditions are for rich organic
well drained soil with an inch of
water each week, I can vouch for
the fact that they will live in badlands conditions of packed soil
with minimum water. With additional water they will show more

substantial growth.
The existing plant can be divided to propagate, as they do not
come true when planted from
seed.
To plant the hosta, work the
soil eight to nine inches deep, add
some organic matter and untangle the roots. (they often come in
root-bound pots.)
Placing gravel around the
plants in their bed will allow for
better drainage.
Hostas will become root-bound
in their area and it will benefit
the plants to split and thin them
after eight to 10 years.
Visit the Conservation Office to
see what varieties we offer.

It occurs to me that there may
be services we offer that you may
not know about. Yes, the Wall
Community Library is primarily
a free library for books, but we do
have limited numbers of other
technologies.
We have DVDs, mostly entertainment.
We have audiobooks. Several
people borrow them when making
long trips. Better than commercial radio!
We have three computers with
access to the internet. They can
be used to download ebooks.
And we have large print books
for those of us who are sure the
print is shrinking.
Our hours are Wednesday, 12
p.m. to 7 p.m.; Thursday, 9 a.m. to
12:30 p.m. and 1:30 p.m. to 5
p.m.; and Friday 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Story Time is on Friday morning at 9:00 a.m. (for little kids, but
we dont check ages).

Wastas skating rinks are melting rapidly. Most people are familiar with the rink on the north
side of the drive way at the old
Wasta Post Office, but a new one
appeared just the latter part of
last week to the east of the fire
hall. Oh, oh, a big water leak from
broken pipes. Not a good thing.
The good news is that I located
my missing ice-skates. The bad
news is that my courage to get on
the ice is still missing. After my
debut a few years ago which resulted in a broken wrist, I tread
lightly these days on ice, even
with my handy dandy yak
tracks strapped on my boots!
It seems the bird population is
getting back to a more normal
count after the Octobers blizzard
which left Wasta with a silent
autumn for some weeks. Barb
Crawford seems to have a large
number of the feathered friends
and squirrels as well, as do Ken
and Danene Skillingstad.
Squirrels and birds at Faye
Bryans house as well as a plump
little cottontail appear happy and
well fed.
A special invitation from Kassandra Linn to come for the matinee of the comedy production,
Big Ugly Doug. The performance is at 3:00 p.m., Sunday, January 19th at the Power House.
Autumn Deering is another actor

host of other talented kids. Come
on out, it will be a good break

from the football play-offs.

Keep in mind, Operation Replant Wasta. May will be here before we know it! Raise your hands
if youre looking forward to
spring! It will be very welcome
and when you think of it weve already seen three months since destruction hit! AKA ATLAS!
If you havent yet heard of Operation Re-plant Wasta, it is simply this: A tree (four feet high)
will be given to each Wasta occupied residence, and will include a
deer guard (plastic fencing) to
protect it from said critter.
It would be very nice and fun as
well for anyone able to volunteer
to do so and be part of this endeavor. We could probably even
have a pot luck picnic at the park!
Trees will be available from the
County Conservation District and
will be picked up by a team member of Operation Re-plant.
If you have interest in purchasing additional trees or shrubs,
grass or flowers excellent prices
are offered by the Conservation
District.

This is a great way for Wastans
to do what they do well work
together on a common goal to
pretty-up Wasta.
The four foot tree will be given
away and planted for you volunteers to help are needed and
appreciated any other trees,
shrubs or plants can be purchased through the Pennington
County Conservation District.
Lloyd and I have been enjoying
the company of great-grandson,
Skyler Patterson. He lives in
Rapid City with his dad now and
has good memories of Wasta.
These little guys sure grow up
fast, dont they?
Skyler brought his football and
after a few passes and catches
and touchdowns (his not mine)
explained I was supposed to catch
him and stop him to prevent his
touchdown. After an explanation
of old knees making running difficult, and a moment of quiet, he
shrugged and said, Grandmother, you cant run because
youre old but you throw good.
A beautiful morning, but then
they all are.
Happy Trails!

Dealing with
Disgruntled People
Have you ever been doing your
job and someone calls on the
phone or steps up to your desk or
work area and unloads about a
week's worth of frustration on
you? Not much fun, is it?
After the initial "shock and awe"
that you experience, you might be
tempted to lash out with a few
choice words of your own. However, there is a better way. This is
the time to remind yourself of the
opportunity you have to take a
"mega" negative and turn it into
something positive.
In these situations I always like
to get a person's attention by giving them a friendly smile and a
kind word to break the aggression.
Here are some vital steps you can
take to turn the difficult situation
into something that will create a
win-win result for everyone involved.
Step One: Smile a reassuring
smile to let the disgruntled person
know you are confident that you

Thomas Dale Hand______________________________

Thomas Dale Hand, age 77, of
Midland, S.D., died Sunday, January 12, 2014, at the Rapid City

was born on March 24, 1936, in
Pierre.
He was raised on the family

will be able to resolve their challenge.

Step Two: Ask the other person
for permission to take notes, as a
way to show them that you are serious about resolving their challenge.
Step Three: Listen to the other
person's complaint and play it
back to them as you try to gain an
understanding of the issue at
hand. Gain their agreement and
show them that you have heard
them.
Step Four: Calmly, ask this
question: "What would you like
me to do to resolve this challenge
to your satisfaction?" (Note: Never
refer to the situation as a problem.
It is a "challenge.") If you are empowered to resolve their challenge, of course, go ahead and do
so. If you can't, get someone who
can. The goal is to create a happy
result for them.
Step Five: Remember not to
take things like this personally,

/).2 ,!$1/
2!,%
1).'2
-/23 /&
3(% $!7

% 1!8)/

but do always be personable and

sympathetic to the other person's
view of the situation.
Treating disgruntled people in
the manner described above, will
most often result in even the most
irate person calming down. However, there are times when someone still insists on being verbally
or physically abusive. You do not
have to subject yourself to abuse;
neither should you start dishing
out abuse of your own. If someone
starts swearing at you or calling
you names, or in some other way
threatens you, protect yourself by
walking away from them. Go and
get your boss or another in higher
authority to help you deal with the
situation. If all else fails, you may
have to ask them to leave.
Dealing with disgruntled people
is usually not a very pleasant
thing to do, but armed with the
right attitude, and the application
of these simple steps to the difficult situation, the end result can
be a positive one.

Eagles dominate Rapid City Christian PRCA Xtreme Bulls Tour lineup set for Black Hills
By Coach Ryan Dinger
The Wall Eagles boys basketball team escaped with their
fourth straight win of the season
Thursday, January 9th by defeating Rapid City Christian 53-50.
The Eagles trailed by two points
after the first quarter, but rallied
in the second quarter to take a 2824 halftime advantage.
In the third quarter, the game
remained close and the third
quarter ended with a two handed
dunk by Rapid City Christian that
tied the game with a score of 3939.
In the fourth quarter, the Eagles stepped up their defensive
game to help overcome a poor
shooting effort on offense.
Trevor Anderson hit a 12 foot
jump shot to give the Eagles a one
point lead with only 21 seconds on
the game clock.
Les Williams forced a turnover
by Rapid City Christian and he
was fouled and hit two critical free
throws to seal the win with a final
score of 53-50.
The Eagles struggled shooting

the basketball after a three week

break over the holiday season,
but rallied as a team to come
away with a big district win over
a very determined and well
coached team.
Tucker ORourke was the leading scorer for the Eagles with 13
points, while Anderson and Tyler
Peterson added 12 points each.
ORourke also led the team
with 14 rebounds for his second
double double of the season.
Anderson also led the defense
with five steals and led the offense with five assist on the night.
The team was 20-61 from the
field for 33 percent, 3-15 from the
three point line for 20 percent,
and 10-13 from the free throw line
for 77 percent.

Lady Eagles bring home a win over RCC

By Asst. Coach Ashley Kier
On January 9th, the Wall Lady
Eagles traveled to play the Rapid
City Christian Lady Comets.
The Junior Varsity team started
off the day by earning themselves
a win with a final score reaching
32 to 11.
Kay Bielmaier was the teams
leading scorer with seven points
and her teammate Savana Johnston earned herself six.
Johnston was also the teams
leading rebounder with eight total
rebounds.
The girls played really well as
a team! I am proud of how this
group of girls has started play together. They stepped onto the
court ready to play and ready to
have fun; and it was quite evident
that they were having fun, said
Coach Kier.
The Varsity team also walked
away with a win with their final
score reaching 53 to 26.
Carlee Johnston led the team in
points with 17, and Monica Biel-

maier chipped in a whopping 10.

Josie Blasius got after things
defensively as she accumulated
eight defensive rebounds, which
contributed to her 12 boards.
The girls had a great game
against the Comets. We really
came together as a team, and
shined on different game tactics
that we have been working on in
practice. Their intensity and joy
towards basketball makes every
game fun to watch and to be a
part of. I am proud of how well
they played, said Coach Hess.

take this step, but will do if necessary. We continue to have problems with the machines being
tampered with, holes being made
in the west wall by basketballs,
and people propping open doors.
In the scheme of things these
may seem pretty small, but when
a facility like the Power House
has these things happening on a
continuous basis it is a problem.
The Power House was made
available for community use by
the school board. The city makes
a yearly contribution as well to
help maintain and provide this facility.
The community of Wall is very
fortunate to have a fitness facility
of this size and that is assessable
to community members.
To continue to offer cardholders
the use of the facility during nonsupervisory hours, then the above
listed things and other negative
outcomes need to stop.
If you see someone doing something wrong, abusing equipment,
not putting weights away etc. please correct them. If you are not
comfortable in doing so, report it
to the school and give us the date
and time so we can check the
cameras.
The fitness facility is there for
everyone to get in a workout and
enjoy. We continue to offer free
use of the facility during the
hours when a supervisor is present. I am assuming and I could be
wrong, but the damage to the
walls and messing with the equipment is happening when the supervisor is not present.
All we ask is for the community

members to help oversee the care

of the facility. Do not attempt to
repair any of the equipment. For
instance, someone took it upon
himself/herself to shorten the
cable on one of the machines. We
have the specs on the machines so
theres no need for anyone to repair the equipment.
There is absolutely no reason
we should have any type of vandalism in the Power House. If students are doing this stuff we need
to know to be able to correct the
problem without shutting the facility down.
The last thing we need everyone to do is sign in so we have an
idea who is using the facility and
the times people are using it. It is
all part keeping the facility open
for community use. The school
has priority in its use and we are
in a busy time of year for practices etc.
I do know the gym area will be
closed for the 1-Act play on Friday
(17th) thru Sunday (19th). The
fitness area will be closed on Sunday (19th) from 11:00 - 5:00 for
the performance of the play.
The gymnastics floor will be set
up on Wednesday, February 5th
and will stay up for a couple of
weeks. The home gymnastics
meet is scheduled for Friday, Feb.
7th.
Please help us out by making
sure the Power House remains a
community asset for everyone to
use.
If something is broke, please let
us know right away. Please do not
try and fix it yourself.

the team with seven points, and
Katy Bielmaier helped lead the

Taylor Richter was the teams
leading rebounder with eight
boards, and K. Bielmaier had

The girls played hard, played

and how well they kept their composure when we were down, and
how well they heightened their
intensity to get themselves back
into the game. Way to go girls!,
said Coach Kier.
The Varsity team has a true
battle with the Warriors. The Eagles came up a little short with a
final score reaching 39 to 47.

The Looking Glass of Time

80 years ago
At a special meeting of the
Town Board it was decided to ask
for CWA aid to gravel the streets
of Wall. The town to furnish the
gravel and other necessary materials.
The resurfacing of 14 and 16
from the west end was finished
Tuesday afternoon and the project
from the east side of the county
was begun the same afternoon.
The two projects include 24 miles
reaching from the east county line
to the Cheyenne river bridge.
The ice harvest is on in full
swing here, there are three
houses being filled, T. E. Hustead,
Herman Sebade Sr., and Carl
Klingbile. The ice is being cut
from the town dam and is of excellent quality.
Wm. Gantenbein met with
quite a serious accident last Friday when riding in the Badlands
Basin. In chasing a horse, his
horse went over an embankment
about twenty feet high. Mr. Gantenbein came out of it with an injured side and chest. The Scenic
doctor was called but found no
bones broken or internal injuries.
70 years ago
Wall farmers are already laying
plans for the coming season with
the purchase of new farm machinery. The Wall Motor and Implement Co., have sold and delivered
two new tractors one to Henry
Denke and the other to Blake
Crowser. They have also delivered
two grain blowers, one to Ivan
Parkin and the other to Oscar
Teuber. Recent tractor buyers
from the Johnson Chevrolet, were
Wm. Harnisch, Ray Naescher,
Eggie Melrose, Wm. Leehman,
Glen Hawkin and Theodore Norman.
Coming to the Wall Theatre
this weekend is Olivia Dehaviland and Robert Cummings in
Princess ORourke. Others in
the cast include Jane Wahman,
Carson and Chas. Columne.
The Wall triplets have been
given the names of Alice Margaret, Anna Rose and Alma Marcella. They were visited the first
of the week by their grandmother,
Mrs. Rosena Luken of Freeman,
and their uncle Fred Luken. The
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Oscar
Eisenbraun, were presented last

threatened the life of 21-year-old
Jed Bryant when his head came
in contact with the nail gun of a
co-worker standing over him.
Bryant was in Wall with a construction crew building the new
Pennington County Shop located
north of Wall. He was taken to the
Wall Clinic as Life Flight from

any long-term effects.

also demonstrate the concept of
taking short turns (five minutes
or less) by using a kitchen timer:
Jared can have the book until
the buzzer goes off, and then
Samantha gets to look at it. This
second option is especially useful
because it gives your child an opportunity to experience sharing
(however reluctantly), and even
to begin making a habit of it,
under your immediate supervision. Save your oration about the
virtues of sharing for next year,
when he can better understand
what youre talking about and retain the basic idea.
Many parents look to nursery
schools and play groups to provide training in this area. We
have mixed feelings about this. A
great deal depends on a childs developmental readiness for group
interaction, and this is something
that parents and teachers arent
in a position to force no matter
how hard they try. Child development experts generally agree that
most children dont get much out
of structured socializing until
they are at least two-and-a-half
years old. Under normal circumstances, the foundations for
healthy, productive interactions
with others will be laid at home
and in low-key, informal play with
friends under your direction.
Children at this age tend to play
one-on-one rather than in true
group activities. We suspect that,
given time, your son will learn
how to get along with others quite
nicely without attending any
structured program for toddlers.

FOCUS ON THE FAMILY

with Dr. James
Dobson
Dr. Dobson Answers
your Questions
QUESTION: How can my
spouse and I make major decisions together with the least
amount of conflict and misunderstanding? As a young couple just
starting out, we want to practice
good communication skills that
will help us build a successful lifelong marriage.
ANSWER: The most successful
marriages are those where a husband and wife learn how to function as a team and lean on one anothers strengths. If the woman is
better at finances, then shes in
charge of the budget. If the man
is better at planning, he maps out
family outings, vacations, and
family devotions. As on a football
squad, each player uses his talents and works with the others
for the good of the whole team. If
one player tries to do it all, the
team suffers. If one player insists
on playing a position hes not
gifted for, the same thing happens.
This analogy bears special application to an appropriate understanding of Ephesians 5:22-30,
where the apostle Paul writes
that the husband has a special position to play as head of the
wife. This doesnt mean that the
man is free to dominate the
woman in an authoritarian manner. Instead, hes supposed to act
as a wise team captain, recognizing his wifes strengths and
using them for the benefit of the
entire family.
If the captain is truly looking
out for the best interests of the
rest of the team, and if hes willing to sacrifice for the common
good, wise decisions will be made.
Those decisions may be made
jointly, or by each spouse in his or
her area of expertise. Either way,
your goal as a couple should be to
make decisions that strengthen
and benefit your relationship.
Here are some guidelines for
making decisions that you can follow individually and together:
1) Apply sound judgment. God
has given the two of you rational
minds and the ability to investigate. He expects you to use them
in your decision making.
2) List pros and cons. Sometimes seeing on paper the benefits
and drawbacks of possible choices
helps to put things in perspective.
3) Consult Gods Word. When
making a decision, study the
Bible and see what God has to say
on the subject specifically or in
principle.
4) Pray. Many couples find that
if both spouses are praying about
a decision, God gives them a
peace about taking one direction
over another.
5) Seek wise counsel. Pride
only breeds quarrels, but wisdom
is found in those who take advice
(Proverbs 13:10). Dont be afraid
to talk to other couples, a pastor,
or a mentor about your decision.
Sometimes others can see things
more objectively than you can.
This is especially helpful when
the two of you have different
points of view and cant seem to
agree or compromise.
One last point: when couples
who share a Christian commitment come to a fork in the road,
they usually want to know if their
choice of direction reflects Gods
will. Sometimes theyre burdened
by fears that they may miss the
one and only right choice. But
decisions arent always a matter
of absolute right or wrong; sometimes theyre about preference. If
consulting Scripture and other
mature believers doesnt turn up
a spiritual principle to follow,
youre probably picking between
two or more equally valid choices.
In that case, the Lord promises to
guide you often invisibly and
imperceptibly as you take your
concerns to Him in prayer. Remember the words of the apostle
James: If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who
gives generously to all without
finding fault, and it will be given
to him (James 1:5).
QUESTION: How can I teach
my toddler to share his things
and be more generous and kind
when he plays with others? Ive
been shocked to see how selfish he

can be in social situations with

other children.
ANSWER: No matter how
flawlessly your child has been
reared, the virtue of sharing with
others probably wont become a
part of his social repertoire until
sometime around the third birthday. Sharing is not an easy concept to grasp at this age for a
number of reasons: the inborn,
primitive self-centeredness of infancy and toddlerhood doesnt
wane easily; patience is in short
supply at age two; and it takes a
while to grasp the idea that something given up now can be retrieved later.
While you shouldnt let your
toddler act like a playroom
tyrant, you shouldnt expect to see
any light bulbs go on while you
give an inspirational message
about the importance of being unselfish or ask, How would you
feel if someone did that to you?
The best strategy for dealing
with selfish behavior usually involves a distraction of some kind.
For instance, you might deal with
a squabble over a toy or book by
diverting the combatants attention to something else. You can
