lands Area Chamber of Commerce
meeting.

Wall Health Services held their
annual meeting on Saturday, Feb-
ruary 9 at the Wall Drug Store.
President Brett Blasius called
the meeting to order at 9:00 a.m.
Blasius read the certification of
the annual meeting and then in-
troduced guests, medical staff and
the medical board. With 26 mem-
bers registered a quorum was
present for the meeting.
Reading of the previous years
annual meeting was approved.
Blasius then gave the 2012 Fis-
cal Report. Net assets in 2012 were
down from 2011 due to accumu-
lated depreciation and account re-
ceivables being a little high and as
Blasius noted, is the nature of the
business.
Blasius then gave a report on
the clinic. 2012 has been a chal-
lenging year and the board is ex-
cited about 2013. Dave Custis who
had a major health issue is back
again full-time.
They are in the process of train-
ing for the Electronic Medical
Record program. This program al-
lows the clinic to stay modern and
provide top-notch medical care.
Their home health program is in
its fourth year with Jana Biel-
maier being the home health
provider.
Blasius also went on to say,
Wall Health Services is the only
free standing clinic in South
Dakota which does not have a hos-
pital, nursing home or assisted liv-
ing center to help them out finan-
cially. We do have a management
agreement with Regional Health
Systems who does the payroll,
budget and cost reporting.
Dave Custis addressed the
members and gave a brief talk on
his past medical issues and is very
appreciative of all those who were
supportive and sent prayers while
he was ill.
Blasius then asked Todd Trask
who is the chairman of the nomi-
nating committee to come forward
with nominations. Norman Geigle,
Teddy Hustead and Marty
Williams who where once again re-
elected to the board.
With no other business the
meeting was adjourned for another
year.
Wall Health Services
hosts annual meeting
by Laurie Hindman
Entrepreneurship class students
Ridge Sandal and Thomas Van
Osdol came before the Wall School
Board with a request to begin a
business within the Wall School.
The class is learning the funda-
mentals of starting a business and
running it.
They asked the board to con-
sider allowing them to put gumball
and candy machines in the school.
Their reasoning behind
this adventure is to learn every as-
pect of how a business is run and
what it takes to run it.
If they make enough money they
would like to start a scholarship
fund for students who take the
class.
Board Member Mary Williams
was not to keen on putting candy
machines in the school.
Superintendent Dennis Rieck-
man asked the class to research
some healthy options. The issue
was tabled until the March meet-
ing so the class can look into differ-
ent options.
A technology report was given by
Randall Poste for the Big White
School.
Poste related different options
for teaching long distance learning
classes to Big White students who
will be starting the seventh grade
class this upcoming fall.
Parents from the Big White,
Wall Teacher Pandi Pittman and
Poste related their opinions on
what method would be the best,
Rieckman said, The board has
three options: Keep the school as it
is, Make the school either K-5th or
K-6th or K-8 and provide technol-
ogy.
He also noted these are chal-
lenging issues that the board
needs to think about and make.
Nathaniel Traveny who recently
moved to Wall, is a personal
trainer and would like to use the
Powerhouse to provide training to
anyone who is interested.
He will provide insurance and
10 percent of what he charges will
be paid to the school.
Rieckman has contacted the
school attorney who provided a list
of what will be required by Tra-
veny.
Rieckman informed Traveny
they would discuss his proposal
during executive session and make
a decission on what they deemed
as the best.
Elementary Principal Chuck
Sykora announced Kindergarten
screening will be held on Friday,
April 5. Please call the school to
make an appointment.
Parent/Teacher conferences
went very well with 90 percent of
parents showing up.
Business Manager Niki Mohr
related, there are two board posi-
tions up for reelection this year.
Petitions can be picked up in her
office on Friday, March 1 and re-
turned by March 25.
Rieckman gave an update on at-
tendance which is sitting at 95.9
percent.
Track and Golf rules were
handed out for board members to
take home and read. A track sched-
ule was also provided to them.
Head Custodian Dan Hauk and
Rieckman have been working on a
five year Capital Outlay plan. The
board may want to think about re-
placing the Dodge Stratus and the
bleachers at the Powerhouse.
Handicap accessible doors will be
put in the school. Rieckman said,
they are looking at different secu-
rity issues for the school. Williams
asked if bullet proof glass should
be installed in the doors. Rieck-
man will look into the cost of hav-
ing them installed.
A motion was made and ap-
proved to enter into executive ses-
sion for the purpose of discussing
student issues and personnel, ac-
cording to SDCL 1-25-2.
After executive session the
board went over the second read-
ing of the Volunteer Policy and
Staff Development Policy.
Nathaniel Travenys request
was tabled until the March meet-
ing.
The board approved the agenda
and consent agenda, for the min-
utes of the January 9, 2013 board
meeting and February claims.
With no other business the
meeting was adjourned.

The Eastern Pennington County
Ambulance District met in the
Wall Community Center meeting
room on Thursday, February 14 at
7:00 p.m.
Elden Helms and Norman
Eisenbraun were absent from the
meeting.
President Wally Hoffman called
the meeting to order with Car-
olynn Anderson and Jem Kjerstad
present.
A letter asking townships for do-
nation was reviewed and approved
to send out.
Anderson gave an update on
Quickbooks purchase. She bought
the program and then found out it
wasnt compatible to her computer
and returned the program. Ander-
son informed the board she is fine
with doing payroll through
Quicken. Hoffman said if it be-
comes a hassle the board will do
something about it.
A motion to pay bills was ap-
proved.
Anderson noted that the grant
for the keyless entry system and
the ambulance building has been
deposited into the checking ac-
count.
The board agreed to have the
WREA bill paid through autopay.
A motion was approved to have
Dave Hahns name removed from
the ambulance savings account.
John Kitterman with the ambu-
lance service informed the board
that Freshmen Impact will be held
on April 24 at the Douglas School.
Freshmen students from Wall,
Philip and Kadoka will also take
part in the activity. An ambulance
from Wall along with the Wall Vol-
unteer Fire Department will at-
tend. Kitterman said, they hand
out t-shirts during the event which
will cost between $120 - 130.
PCC is now doing the billing for
the ambulance service.
The annual meeting will be held
on Thursday, March 21 at the Wall
Community Center meeting room.

year terms.

Public Works Director Jeff Clark
received a call around 10:40 p.m.
Thursday, February 14 from the
well computer monitoring system
informing him the main water
tower was losing water.
Clark went looking for the cause
and found water bubbling up from
under the sidewalk and also run-
ning down the sidewalk in front of
the Wall Drug Store. The main
water line running into the store
was immediately shut off.
Upon further inspection it was
discovered the water leak had de-
posited four feet of water and mud
in the older basement under the
main portion of the Wall Drug.

Fireline breaks: Floods Wall Drug basement
Garrett Bryan used a sludge pump
which pumps 500 gallons of water
a minute to empty out the Wall
Drug basement. They finished
pumping around 2:30 a.m. Friday,
February 15.
Mayor Dave Hahn who received
a call at 11:02 p.m. on Thursday
night said. Water filled the old
part of the basement upto the old
dishroom.
Hahn noted there was some
stuff stored in the old basement
and guessed the leak to be around
100,000 gallons of water.
Site Works Specialist who had
installed the fireline during last
years main street project and
CETEC Engineer Jeb Rieb were on
the job Friday morning. It was
found the fireline going into the
Wall Drug had broken or came
apart causing the flood.
Rieb stated, It was an isolated
break and the water should be
turned back on to the main portion
of the Wall Drug by noon on Fri-
day.
The Mall and Pharmacy were
open for business since the base-

of the Wall Drug Store. A fireline had broke and flood the old
basement of the store with thousands of gallons of water.

ment under that portion of the
business was not damaged.
The sidewalk in front of the drug
store was torn apart to find the
fireline break and will have to be
replaced. Hahn thought they
would have to wait on pouring a
new sidewalk until the weather
warmed up a bit.
Out on the African Savannah,
there are some things everyone
just knows are true: meerkats are
social, lions have pride, hippos are
big, and zebras have stripes--all
zebras except Xena that is!
Xena was born without stripes,
and to make matters worse, she
spells her name with an X not a
Z like zebras should. Its just too
different! Its just not right! What
is a zebra without its stripes?
Xena struggles with who she re-
ally is as she listens to others tell
her who she is supposed to be.
How can you be comfortable
with your place in the world if you
dont know who you are? As she
meets character after character
(and boy do we mean characters!)
she sees that everyone has unique
attributes and captivating quirks!
Life on the Savannah is an ex-
otic, electric dream, but the Savan-
nah of our dreams is not always
peaches and cream.
There are tough issues of self-
image, friendships and peer pres-
sure that we all must face.
In the end the truth is that you
just gotta be you, and it never
ever hurts to have a sense of

The South Dakota Farm Bureau
is hosting a series of meeting

more about the EPAs Oil Spill Pre-
vention, Control and Countermea-
sure (SPCC) Program, which re-
quires compliance by May 10 of

Two representatives from the
U.S. Environmental Protection
Agencys Region 8 office in Denver

According to the U.S. EPA,

than 1,320 total U.S. gallons of oil
or oil products in aboveground con-
tainers sized 55 gallons or larger,
or more than 42,000 U.S. gallons
in completely buried containers,
and could reasonably expected to
discharge oil to waters of the U.S.,
are required to have an SPCC
Plan.
EPA requires an SPCC Plan to
be in place by May 10, 2013. Read
the EPA backgrounder here with

My senior project
Off Road Go - Kart. Nathan Patterson used a 4-wheeler and a
Honda 450 engine to build this Go - Kart which can go up to 90
mph (need seat belts to do that.) Patterson said, It seemed like
fun but I have 130 hours into my project. He plans to attend
SDSM&T to study mechanical engineering.
Wall Senior Maddie Bauer served as Legislative Page for Mike
Verchio. Bauer very much enjoyed working at the legislature, ex-
cept for the one time when Ryder Wilson made off with her iPod.
She gained many friendships and valuable experience on how
our government is run. Buaer plans on attending Dakota Wes-
leyan in Mitchell to pursue a nursing degree. She is the grand-
daughter of Dave and Arla Olson of Wall. ~Courtesy Photo

As you know, I generally do not
like Resolutions but, HCR 1006 is
important for both the State and
Nation.
It petitioned the President and
Secretary of State to authorize the
Keystone XL pipeline which I
whole heartedly supported. Every
session we have to back fill the
wildfire suppression funds and
this time it cost you 4.2 million dol-
lars to pay for the 2012 fire season.
Hopefully the Good Lord will
show us some mercy during the
2013 fire season.
In State Affairs this week, I sup-
ported an important economic de-
velopment initiative that com-
bined two bills 1161 and 1196 that
provide many more opportunities
for small towns and businesses to
get assistance for startups and
growth.
I also supported, to no avail,
1250 which was a States Rights
Bill that sent a message to the
Feds to keep out of our affairs even
though it was unenforceable.
Although it is not on the floor
yet, I co-sponsored and strongly
support SB 156 that creates more
avenues for townships to allow cit-
izens of isolated developments to
impose an assessment on them-
selves to improve their roads. SB
27 the appropriations for the Vet-
erans Home has not come to the
floor yet but I will obviously be a
vocal supporter of this bill.
I have one issue that popped up
in regards to Purple Heart recipi-
ent license plates. The way the
statute is worded it can only go to
a veteran defined as not on active
duty.
An active duty soldier who was
re-enlisted three times was denied
the plate. The reasoning was that
we did not anticipate any conflict
or war that would last for more
than a decade.
I am working on a complete re-
view with the Department of Vet-
eran Affairs and Deb Hilmen at
the Department of Revenue so that
next session we can make all of
those special plates for service
members consistent and also be
able to recognize the sacrifices of
our active duty service men and
women.

This has been another week of
passionate testimony on a number
of bills.
One of them was SB 171 which
attempted to address cruelty to
dogs, cats and horses.
Numerous atrocities against
pets were graphically described
and pictures circulated. It makes
you wonder how anyone could be
so calloused and cruel. The intent
of the bill was to increase the
penalty from a Class 1 Misde-
meanor to a Class 6 Felony. The
bill was defeated however an im-
proved bill that ties into existing
codified law will no doubt be pre-
sented next year.
Those of you with commercial
drivers license may be interested
in SB 44.
This bill has gathered reluctant
support from legislator due to a
$12 mill penalty in loss of federal
highway funds if S.D., does not
adopt it. Drivers caught texting
while driving in S.D., or any other
state could lose their license under
codified law found in chapter 32-
12A.
A number of you have sent me
emails concerning the US Second
amendment.
I would encourage you to look at
SB 207 which clearly states the po-
sition of South Dakota regarding
gun ownership and rights to self-
defense.
It definitively prohibits all in-
fringement by federal agencies.
Further it directs the Office of the
Attorney General to be vigilant
and proactive in protecting our
South Dakota rights.
Octane labeling has passed the
house and will be heard in the Sen-
ate.
It avoids controversy by requir-
ing all 85 octane gasoline to be la-
beled appropriately at all stages of
production, distribution and at the
pumps. Kind of an easy answer to
an issue that caused so much
ruckus several months ago.

State awards $278,000
to 23 rural hospitals
Twenty-three rural hospitals in
South Dakota will receive a total of
$278,037 in federal funding for
projects to improve patient access,
reduce medication errors, reduce
hospital readmissions, and im-
prove operations.
The federal Medicare Rural Hos-
pital Flexibility Program funding
comes through the South Dakota
Department of Health. Over the
last 12 years, rural hospitals in
South Dakota have received more
than $4,078,000 in direct awards
through the program.
Hospitals must be Medicare-cer-
tified as critical access to be eligi-
ble for the funds. Critical access
hospitals receive a higher
Medicare reimbursement rate and
are eligible for federal funding for
improvement projects. There are
currently 38 critical access hospi-
tals in South Dakota.
The funding helps rural hospi-
tals make direct, positive impacts
on patient care and health out-
comes, noted an official from the
Platte Health Center Avera, one
of the facilities receiving funds.
Without the additional supple-
mental financial assistance we re-
ceive from this program, we would
not have been able to implement
the programs and processes we
currently have in place, said Jody
Sternberg, RN, and Director of Pa-
tient Care Services at Platte. This
program makes a difference for
critical access hospitals.
Sustaining essential healthcare
services in rural and underserved
areas is a key objective of the De-
partment of Healths 2020 Initia-
tive.

Dont make me use my librarian
voice!
Lets be honest how many of
us were afraid of the cranky old li-
brarian we were destined to en-
counter on our ventures to the li-
brary as a child? Im guessing that
the majority is able to relate to this
experience. I am here to empathize
and report that you can expect the
contrary from our library.
You never have to be concerned
about meeting a quiet, enigmatic
librarian at Wall Community Li-
brary. Come on in and chat with
us.
Librarians are knowledgeable
about multitudes of topics, and we
love to be in conversation with oth-
ers. Because we are constantly in
the presence of books, we often
come into contact with different
viewpoints and ideas. Discussing
such matters creates ground for
growth and understanding
amongst the population.
In a feeble attempt to entice the
public into our library (because
sooo many people read the news-
paper anymore), I am doing a se-
ries elaborating what you have to
Breaking Standards An Introduction

look forward to when setting foot
in your local library.
At Wall Community Library, the
employees and library board are
working hard to break standards.
We are doing everything we can
in order to make your library-
going experience as pleasurable
and meaningful as possible.
We make available to the public:
book groups, reading programs for
kids, job resources, and other ac-
tivities to include all generations
in our library.
Please stay tuned to our column
for further information, and/or

following means.
We are open at 407 Main Street
on Wednesdays, from 12:00 - 7:00

Heres a brief review of some of
the S.D. Legislatures recent ac-
tion.
Veterans seeking legislative
sanction of establishing a veterans
cemetery in Eastern South Dakota
were disappointed by the House
State Affairs Committee, which
voted Feb. 6 to kill it. Rep. Stace
Nelson, along with various state
veterans organizations, asked for
the authority to acquire 50 acres of
land along the I-90 corridor, prom-
ising to raise the money on their
own. The Department of Veterans
Affairs objected, noting there cur-
rently are cemeteries in Sturgis,
and soon to be in Pine Ridge and
Mission.
Restoring state salary assis-
tance to the countys veterans serv-
ice officers received initial ap-
proval Feb. 6 from House State Af-
fairs and was sent to the House
floor with a unanimous vote. The
annual $168,000 was cut two years
ago during the states budget
crunch. With HB1249, counties
would be able to request reim-
bursement for some costs associ-
ated with the VSO.
Efforts to give voters another
chance to change terms for legisla-
tors were addressed by the Senate
State Affairs Committee resulted
in one plan given the nod, the
other sent to the 41st day, or
killed. The full Senate will dis-
cuss SJR1, which changes the
length of the current two-year
terms to four. Killed was a pro-
posal to limit legislators to no more
than eight years in each house,
served consecutively. Sen. Bill Van
Gerpen, R-Tyndall, said he was
surprised SJR4 was not given a
Senate floor hearing, when voters
have expressed their support for
term limits.
A bill to permit townships to
levy a capital improvement prop-
erty tax for highways, secondary
roads, bridges, and culverts passed
through the House Taxation Com-
mittee and is expected to be heard
in the House this week. Townships
could levy 50-cents per thousand..
HB1189 would be an option where
needed, it was noted. Counties had
been part of the original bill, but
were removed in committee.
Democrats are seeking to work
with Republicans on economic de-
velopment this year. Sen. Jason
Short takes from
the State Capitol
Frerichs, D-Wilmot, said in a re-
cent news conference that infra-
structure seems to be the biggest
stumbling block to economic de-
velopment. That would include im-
provements for roads, water and
sewer and broadband service.
Housing, he said, also goes hand in
hand for economic development.
Republicans leader Larry Rho-
den, Union Center Senator, said he
has introduced a bill that would
provide a vehicle for conversation
of K-12 funding, that any increase
would go to the states funding ef-
fort. He said 30 senators and 48
house members had co-signed the
bill. It appears there is a lot of
support to have that conversation,
said Rhoden in a Thursday news
conference.
A standing-room-only meeting
of the Senate Ag Committee Feb. 7
discussed SB148, which would
have reestablished certain admin-
istrative rules in the Department
of Environment and Natural Re-
sources relating to underground
injection control and in situ leach
mining. After two hours of testi-
mony and discussion, the bill was
sent to the 41st day, effectively
killing it for this session.
Gov. Dennis Daugaard said in
a Feb. 7 press conference that the
states economic recovery had good
news and bad news. The good
news: the recovery was proceeding
at about the pace projected in De-
cember. However, the bad news
was that the news was not any
rosier than that, as it had been in
several preceding years.
Gov. Dennis Daugaard said
several amendments have been
made to the School Sentinel bill,
which has created much discus-
sion. He said he doesnt object to
the underlying concept of the bill
as long as safeguards are in place.
The bill would allow school dis-
tricts to have an armed guard in
the school for protection of stu-
dents and teachers.
The Senate killed a joint phys-
ical custody bill, SB125, on Feb. 7.
This is about children, not
about spouses, cautioned Sen.
Jean Hunhoff, R-Yankton. Sen.
Dan Lederman, R-Dakota Dunes,
noted that if it were not the right
concept, then why had he gotten
over 200 e-mails wanting it
passed. The bill failed on a vote of
13 in favor, 21 against, one absent.

I dont know about you, but I
think I have seen enough wind
around here lately to last a life-
time. The other day the dust and
dirt were flying around pretty
good. I cant imagine how they
dealt with it during the Dust
Bowl in the 30s. I dont know
which is worse, blowing snow or
blowing dirt.

He didnt want to go to wrestling
until the cows were fed!
Looks like that is all until next
week.

My thanks to Linda LaFee for
submitting the news article about
David Van Vleck leaving for
Afghanistan! You had told me this
when we were in the Mesa Airport
but I neglected to ask if I could put
it in the paper. I would hate to sub-
mit something for publication
without asking to do so.
Norman Klingbile had a good
turn out for his open house on
Sunday for his 85th birthday. Cer-
tainly was a lot of visiting going on
and a place to see people you
hadnt seen in a while. Congratu-
lations, Norman!
Orlin and Lourine Winkowitsch
brought Evelyn Kjerstad with
them on Sunday and attended
church. Winkowitsches went to
visit the Harnisches. Evelyn,
Donna Jedlicka and Frances Poste
had lunch together. Evelyn beat
Frances in a couple games of
Scrabble. All attended Normans
party.
Theme meal was on Tuesday of
last week. Over thirty people
turned out for the turkey dinner.
Thursday evening of this week, the
21st, will be Senior Citizens
Potluck supper.
The Meals Program will serve
the last of the caramel rolls (for
this year) on Thursday morning,
the 21st. We appreciated all those
who came to partake and get in
some visiting.
The Methodists had a soup sup-
per on Ash Wednesday followed by
Lenten study and worship service.
Each Wednesday evening through
Lent the Methodist Men will serve
a soup supper at 5:30 p.m., fol-
lowed by Lenten study at 6:00 p.m.
Presidents Day was observed on
Monday, February 18th. It effects
the bank, post office, city offices,
school, etc.
About a month ago, Lillian Hor-
ton had been ill and was taken to
the Philip Hospital. She is better
but is still in the swing bed sec-
tion. We wish her well.
June Wanczyk has been sick
also. She is in the Philip Hospital
but plans are for her to be moved
on February 25th to the Good
Samaritan Center in New Under-
wood for therapy. Our get well
wishes go out to her too.
The Wasta Volunteer Fire De-
partment had a steak supper on
Sunday evening, a fundraiser. The
Bill Leonards were among those
who attended and Bill said it was
very good.
The Wall Drug Store is usually
open for business as usual ex-
ceptions: New Years Day, Easter,
Thanksgiving, Christmas, bliz-
zard, fire and now flood! The water
main broke in the basement caus-
ing a flood of water. The main store
has been opened but the restau-
rant was still closed on Monday
morning. Habits are hard to break!
Im certain all the coffee drinkers
will be back as soon as they open.
Cant even imagine the mess that
had to be cleaned up!
We had some wonderfully warm
temperatures last week, especially
on the weekend. The ice, left from
a drift across my drive, finally all
disappeared on Saturday. There
are still drifts around town and
where they piled mountains of
snow while clearing streets and
parking lots. This week is going to
be quite a bit colder if today (Mon-
day) is any indication it is
windy, raw and cold!
Kind words can be short and
easy to speak, but their echoes are
truly endless. ~Mother Teresa

FOCUS ON THE FAMILY
with Dr. James
Dobson
Dr. Dobson Answers
your Questions
QUESTIoN: How much time
should I devote to my work? My
job requires me to put in long
hours every week. As a result Im
not able to give as much attention
to other thingsincluding my
familyas I would like. In your
opinion, how much time is too
much time for work? Do you sug-
gest I look for another job?
ANSWER: Perhaps you wont
be surprised to learn that we dont
have a hard-and-fast answer for
this question. Focus on the Family
cant tell you where to work or ex-
actly how many hours to devote to
your occupation. We dont have a
simple formula for balancing busi-
ness affairs with family life. These
are questions you need to resolve
by praying and listening to Gods
voice. You should also discuss your
needs and priorities with your
spouse and seek the counsel of
close friends. With the help of
those who really care about you,
try to work through your personal
commitments and priorities in
light of biblical principles.
In a case like this it can be help-
ful to remember that God has
granted us tremendous liberty in
Christ (Galatians 5:1). As a Chris-
tian, you arent called to slavish le-
galism but to freedom and discov-
ery. Its not a matter of obeying
rules or mapping out a tightly con-
structed schedule. Instead, its
about walking by faith and living
in the Spirit. Among other things,
that means learning by trial and
error how to fulfill your unique
God-given calling while loving oth-
ers with the selfless love of Christ.
Are your long hours having a
damaging effect on your marriage,
your family, your health, or your
relationships with others? This is
the question you need to ask your-
self. Seek the Lords guidance and
try to answer it honestly. If you de-
cide that you really are working
too much, youll have to stop and
figure out how you got into this sit-
uation. Ask yourself if theres a
feasible way out. Do you really
have to spend this much time on
the job? What is it thats driving
you? Is it your employers demands
or your own pressing financial
needs? If the latter, can you find
other ways of balancing the
budget? Can you cut costs? Down-
scale your lifestyle? Eliminate ma-
terialistic goals and values?
That last question brings us
back to the issue of priorities. By
getting a handle on what matters
most to you, you can clear the air
of a lot of confusion. When you
know your priorities, you can elim-
inate non-essentials. This will help
you gain a sense of focus and pur-
pose. Rather than accepting your
situation at face value, train your-
self to listen to the Spirit. Try to
discern what He wants you to do.
Dont be defined by externals. In-
stead, define yourself in terms of
Gods principles and Gods plan for
your life. Its a question of learning
how to channel your time and en-
ergy into the fulfillment of your
own unique calling.
Maybe you dont think this ad-
vice fits your situation. Perhaps
you believe that your priorities are
in order. Maybe youre working
long hours solely because of the de-
mands of an unreasonable boss. If
so, you may want to start thinking
about looking for a new position.
Thats not something to be under-
taken lightly, of course, especially
in todays challenging economy.
Still, if youre feeling pressured,
unhappy in your work, and de-
prived of meaningful relationships
at home, it might be time to step
out in faith and take some risks.
You dont want to spend the rest of
your life hating what youre doing.
Here are a few things to keep in
mind as you evaluate your current
occupation and consider the possi-
bility of looking for a new job.
When trying to decide if youre cut
out for a certain profession, ask
yourself the following three ques-
tions: 1) Do I have a passion for
this kind of work? 2) Do I possess
the required background and
skills? And 3) Do I feel called to do
this? If you can say yes to all
three, then go for it. Theres an ex-
cellent chance that youll find suc-
cess and fulfillment along that
path.

Posted By Pastor Cornelius R. Stam
Centuries before Christ, the Psalmist said:
If thou, Lord, shouldst mark iniquities who
shall stand? But there is forgiveness with Thee
(Psa. 130:3,4).
It is doubtful whether the Psalmist understood the basis
upon which a just God, through the ages, has so gra-
ciously forgiven sins, but this has since been revealed in
the Epistles of Paul.
There we read: God for Christs sake hath forgiven
you (Eph. 4:32). But this is only part of the truth, for God
forgives sinners, not merely because Christ desires this,
but because Christ paid for their sins and purchased their
redemption. Thus Eph. 1:7 declares: In [Christ] we have
redemption, through His blood, the forgiveness of sins,
according to the riches of His grace.
And thus Paul could proclaim to his hearers in the syn-
agogue at Pisidian Antioch:
Be it known unto you, therefore, men and
brethren, that through this Man is preached unto
you the forgiveness of sins:
And by Him all that believe are justified from
all things, from which ye could not be justified by
the law of Moses (Acts 13:38,39).
Obviously such forgiveness can never be rescinded or
revoked, for it is based upon the full and complete pay-
ment of our whole debt of sin by the precious blood of
Christ.
Sad to say, many people do not feel they need forgive-
ness, for they have not seen themselves as they truly are
in the sight of a holy God, but those who are conscious of
their sins and are willing to say with the prodigal son: I
have sinned, may experience the peace and joy of sins
forgiven by faith in Christ who paid sins penalty for us.
Here is forgiveness that can never be revoked because
it is based on the one offering [of Christ at Calvary] by
which our Lord hath perfected forever them that are sanc-
tified [i.e., set apart as His own] (Heb. 10:14).

copper. Those bringing receipts
from Freddie Lewis were admitted
free to the show Saturday night.

The Wall Eagles kept the Con-
ference Leaders the Quinn Tuplets
on their toes throughout the game
played on the Quinn floor, Thurs-
day evening. Too close guarding
made fouls pile up seventeen on
each side during the first half.
Wall lost two men in the third
quarter and Quinn dropped two in
the last quarter, due to fouls. The
Quinn boys were able to keep the
lead during the game and gained
four or five points each period.
Kelly led his teammates with
about half their tallies, 31 of 65.
The scoring by periods with Quinn
leading: 11-13, 21-28, 24-48, 46-65.
The Quinn basketball team mo-
tored to Chadron, Neb., Friday for
the weekend and played the
Chadron high school team Satur-
day night and were defeated by 10
points which was very good consid-
ering the Chadron team has
played 43 games and has lost only
one.
About a dozen Wall business
men drove to Pierre yesterday to
help those in business from other
towns in the State impress the
Legislature for the need of high-
way legislation which would re-
quire the Highway Commission to
consider the welfare of communi-
ties when building or rebuilding
highways.

A circuit court judge has ruled
that the state has the right to deny
a landowner the use of an under-
ground flow of water on his prop-
erty. In a memorandum decision
released by the attorney generals
office, Judge Fred J. Nichols ruled
that the state legislator has writ-
ten its constitutional means when
it adopted a new rights law in
1955. It was the first time a court
has ruled on the 1955 law. The
case rose when W. W. Knight of
Brookings sought a permit from
the South Dakota Water Resources
commission to drill irrigation wells
on his property. Knight later with-
drew his request and filed suit in
Brookings county circuit court.

Miss Barbara Jodene Herron
(Eaton), adopted daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Clark Eaton of Wasta,

First Lutheran Church in Philip.

The fifth annual Badlands Baja
races were held Sunday afternoon,
February 18, seven miles west of
Interior. A chilly wind kept the
large crowd milling around
some going and others coming dur-
ing the day-long event. The tem-
perature was above freezing which
made some of the Badlands gullies
a little greasy and the drivers and
homemade done buggies and jeeps
soon gathered a coating of mud.
Wall had two entries in the Baja.
Jay Hoffman and Bob Johnson
built a Baja Special out of scrap
materials. Also Gallyn Wolf, Craig
Adams and Jimmy Johnson made
themselves an entry.
Gene Richmond, mail carrier
from Cottonwood, and Jay Gold-
hammer had a fender bender colli-
sion at the intersection between
the Wall school and the Methodist
Church before school, Wednesday
morning.

Hans E. Hanson________________________________
Hans E. Hanson, age 91 of
Philip, S.D., died Friday, February
15, 2013, at the Philip Nursing
Home.
Hans E. Hanson was born No-
vember 17, 1921, in Mt. Vernon,
the son of Martin and Lizzie Han-
son. He grew up on a farm near
Mt. Vernon and attended rural
schools, prior to graduating from
Mt. Vernon High School in 1939.
Hans was united in marriage to
Velma P. Lorang on June 8, 1941,
in Las Vegas, Nev. They made
their home in Burbank, Calif.,
where their first child, Sharon,
was born. Later, Hans entered the
U. S. Army and served in the Pa-
cific during World War II. During
that period, Velma and Sharon
moved back to Mt. Vernon and
lived with Hans mother until his
discharge from the Army. In 1946,
the family moved to Madison
where a son, Michael, was born.
Later, they moved to Mitchell, and
Hans operated a Standard Oil
bulk agency.
In October 1950, the family
moved to Philip. Subsequently, a
third child, Steven, was born in
Kadoka. In 1953, Hans and Velma
purchased the Ned Ronning City
Meat Market and Locker Plant
and, in 1960, they built and oper-
ated Hansons Super Valu until
their retirement in 1986.
Throughout his life in Philip,
Hans was a leading businessman
and active promoter of the Philip
community. Among Hans many
contributions were his service as
both president of the Haakon
School Board and Chamber of
Commerce. He also was famous for
organizing large community-based
pit barbeques. Hans was proud of
having played for the Mitchell
Kernels, a semi-pro baseball team,
and most of all for being a military
veteran. Most recently, he played a
founding leadership role in the es-
tablishment of the Philip Veterans
Living Memorial. Second only to
his family, was his love of golf,
hunting and fishing. Hans and
Velma were long serving members
of the First Lutheran Church in
Philip.
Hans was grateful for having
shared his life with a daughter,
Sharon Johnson, of Shawnee,
Okla.; two sons, Michael and his
wife, Shizuko, of Fairfax, Va., and
Steve and his wife, Paulette, of
Nashville, Tenn. He also is sur-
vived by five grandchildren and 11
great-grandchildren.
Hans was preceded in death by
his loving wife, Velma; his parents;
13 brothers and sisters; his son-in-
law, Orrin Johnson; and his grand-
daughter Carries husband, Chad
McCoy.
In lieu of flowers, the family re-
quests memorials be directed to
the Philip Volunteer Fire Depart-
ment.
Services were held Tuesday,
February 19, at the American Le-
gion Hall in Philip, with Pastor
Frezil Westerlund officiaing.
Music was provided by Mari-
anne Frein, pianist, and Elvera
Moos, vocalist. Ushers were Quinn
McCoy and Seth Johnson.
Pallbearers were Scott, Matthew
and Craig Johnson, Mark Hanson
and Logan McCoy. Honorary pall-
bearers were Hans granddaugh-
ter, Carrie McCoy, and his 11
great-grandchildren.

FRoM YoGA FoLLoWERS?

Its probably not on your calendar,
but World Yoga Day takes place on
Feb. 24. As more people have discov-
ered its healthful benefits, yoga has
grown in popularity. But whether or
not you practice yoga, you can apply
its lessons to other areas of your life
such as investing.
Specifically, consider the following
yoga-related themes and how they
might translate into investment
habits that may be beneficial:
Balance If you observe ad-
vanced yoga practitioners, you will
be amazed at the balance they ex-
hibit during certain positions. But
for serious yoga students, the idea of
balance goes beyond physical
movements and extends to a concept
of life that emphasizes, among other
things, an avoidance of extremes. As
an investor, you too need to avoid ex-
tremes, such as investing too aggres-
sively, too conservatively or too spo-
radically. By building a balanced
portfolio, and by investing regularly,
you can help improve your chances
of making progress toward your fi-
nancial goals.
Flexibility Among its many
benefits, yoga helps people increase
their flexibility and greater flexi-
bility results in fewer injuries and
an increased capacity to enjoy many
physical activities. As an investor,
you need to be flexible enough to ad-
just your portfolio as needed while
still following a long-term strategy
thats appropriate for your individ-
ual goals, risk tolerance and time
horizon.
Relaxation For yoga students,
proper relaxation is essential to
achieving mental equanimity, emo-
tional balance and inner strength.
But relaxation doesnt always come
easily even experienced yoga
practitioners need to work at it. As
an investor, you also may need to
train yourself to relax because, given
the ups and downs of the market, its
not hard to become overwrought and
make ill-advised decisions based on
short-term events. Staying calm and
maintaining a long-term view of
things may help you make better in-
vestment decisions.
Positive thinking Our own
thoughts and actions are largely re-
sponsible for creating our happiness
and success, according to yoga
teachings. And positive thinking can
play a key role in investing, too. For
example, if you were to constantly
look at negative headlines, you
might conclude that it is pointless to
invest for the future because exter-
nal events economic instability
abroad, political squabbles at home,
natural disasters and so on will
just disrupt your plans. Conse-
quently, you might decide not to in-
vest, or invest in such a way that
can make progress toward your fi-
nancial goals difficult. But if you
maintain a positive attitude, you
may be more inclined to invest
wisely for Visualization
In yoga, visualization is often used
to reduce stress. At any given time,
you might find it difficult to relax,
but you can use your imagination to
see yourself and put yourself in
a relaxed state. As an investor, you
need to visualize your goals, such as
a comfortable retirement, before you
can define a strategy to help you
work toward them. By seeing your-
self where you want to be, youll be
motivated to take the actions neces-
sary to work toward getting there.
Try putting the principles of yoga
to work they may help you be-
come a better investor.

School & Sports
Pennington County Courant February 21, 2013 Page 7
We are in the middle of Febru-
ary and the weather has been
pretty good. One of the tougher de-
cisions I make during the school
year is calling off school, leaving
early, or starting late. First and
foremost my decision is based on
the safety of the students. So far I
have not had to deal with the
school closing this year, but we still
have some winter left.
In January, I made a recommen-
dation to the school board to move
the Big White School from a K-8
attendance center to K-5.
I based my recommendation on
the new Common Core Standards
coming out in Math, Language
Arts, and Science.
The rigor involved and the new
way the standards are being
taught makes it a huge undertak-
ing for any school.
I also looked at the number of
grade levels being taught at Big
White next year by one teacher
and an aid.
By moving to K-5 we will reduce
From the Desk of the Superintendent
the number of grades by two. It
may not seem like a big change,
but when the grade levels are at
the Middle School level it does
make it a big difference.
The school was presented with
some options to use technology to
teach the middle school students
and remain a K-8 school.
The Big White School and the
teachers over the years have pro-
vided an excellent education for
the students. It is a great commu-
nity of students and supportive
parents.
I see this change as a positive
move for the middle school stu-
dents and an opportunity to better
the education of the younger stu-
dents by focusing more time with
them.
The board will make a decision
in March, as to what direction they
want Big White to move. It will be
a difficult and emotional decision
and we will move forward with
whatever is decided and do what is
best for our students.
The legislature is better than
half done with their session for
2013. It has been a quiet session
for education so far.
Looming out there is HB 1087
which deals with armed sentinels
in schools.
The bill would give local boards
the option of arming some staff
members with a weapon. This will
allow a first line of defense if nec-
essary.
Everyone wants to feel their
child will be safe when they are
dropped off each day.
As Superintendent, the safety of
the students in our school is a pri-
ority.
We are always looking for ways
to improve the safety of our stu-
dents. Is bringing weapons into
the school the right thing to do? I
have reservations and questions as
I hope everyone does.
I feel it needs to be studied more
before implementing any law al-
lowing weapons on school property.

It was a run-away for the Philip
Area grapplers as they claimed the
Region 4B title by more than 60
points, and garnering seven first
and second placings.
Head coach Matt Donnelly was
pleased for the team and the indi-
viduals as they wrestled well at
the tourney. The team took 10 kids
and placed nine. Four open slots in
the 126, 132, 138, and 145 weight
classes were not good for the team
though, he said. Injuries and ill-
ness were the main reasons for the
openings.
Team standings following the
February 16 tournament were
Philip Area (181.5), Bennett
County (118.5), Stanley County
(112), Hot Springs (106.5), Potter

Donnelly noted that while Geof-
frey DeVries did not place at the
region tournment he has been
learning at every tournament. De-
Vries, Donnelly noted, is at the
light end of the heavy weight divi-
sion and is just an eighth grader
wrestling older, heavier opponents.
Up next for the Badlands
Brawlers is the State B tourna-
ment in Aberdeen, Febraury 22
and 23. Donnelly is excited about
Philips prospects at the tourna-
ment, but noted it will be tough.
Anyone can beat anyone, he said.
They are there for a reason.
State team rankings heading
into State B are Parkston (144),
Canton (100), Wagner (98),
Howard (90), Beresford (88), Tri-
Valley (87), Philip (77), Flandreau
(72.5), Bon Homme (71) and Web-
ster (70).
Individual rankings have Brown
in sixth, Johnson ninth, Donnelly
eighth, Blasius second, Sudbeck
third, Stout sixth, Knutson fifth
and Ammons eighth.
Philip Area grapplers brought back the Region 4B Region championship title last Saturday. Back
row from left are Brandy Knutson, Jed Brown, Geoffrey DeVries, Clint Stout, Chance Knutson,
Rance Johnson, Cody Donnelly, Nick Donnelly, Bosten Morehart and Keven Morehart; Front from
left are student managers Kelsie Kroetch and Madyson Morehart, Chandlier Sudbeck, Lane Bla-
sius, Logan Ammons, Gavin DeVries, Raedon Anderson, and head coach Matt Donnelly.

Motion by Hustead, second by Leonard to
approve the agenda. Motion carried.
Cpt. Jay Evenson presented the police
report. Cpt. Evenson introduced the new
deputy, Robert Schoeberl who is now
serving the area.
Jonny Holsether addressed the council
on Library issues. She first thanked the
council for all the support they give the li-
brary. Holsether stated the sign on the
east side of the building is hard to read
and could use some sprucing up. Motion
by Hustead, second by Leonard to ap-
proving painting the existing sign with no
change to the wording. Motion carried.
Holsether commented direction signs for
the Library would be helpful to visitors in
town. A sample of a sign was presented
and suggested to be placed in three dif-
ferent areas of town. Motion by M Ander-
son, second by Leonard to approve pur-
chasing three direction signs for the li-
brary. Motion carried.
Holsether noted a rail from the fence on
the west side of the library has been
missing for a year and would like to see it
replaced. Also snow, drifts in front of the
library entrance and questioned whether
a snow fence would help the issue. Coun-
cilman Leonard will take notice during the
next snowfall to determine whether snow
fence could be helpful. Note: The fence
rail will also be replaced.
Public Works Director (PWD) Clark re-
quested on Eric Hansens behalf; ap-
proval to connect to the Citys water main
near the shooting range east of town.
Hansen purchased property south of the
shooting range across the road and
needs water for livestock. The meter pit
will be placed on the north side of the
road and all costs will be borne by
Hansen with the exception of the tapping
saddle and the corporation stop. These
will be the Citys expense. The water
usage will be considered a commercial,
Out of City limits account and therefore
will have a minimum charge each month
even if water is not used. Motion by Hus-
tead, second by Dunker to approve
Hansens connection to the water main
with all the stipulations as stated. Motion
carried.
There was a building permit request from
June and Arvin Hout to remove the exist-
ing manufactured home at 211 W. Fifth
Street and be replaced with a larger man-
ufactured house. It will be located the
same distance from the frontage of the lot
and extend (10) ten feet farther south on
the lot. It will still be within the required
distance from all lot lines. The foundation
will be enlarged with the same existing
material. Motion by Dunker, second by
Leonard to approve the building permit for
the Houts. Motion carried.
Preston Johnson requested a building
permit for a hanger at the airport. The
FAA has approved a 100 x 100 hanger
but Johnson has requested an additional
20 for the hanger from the FAA and pend-
ing their approval would request the same
from the council. Upon the completed
construction of the hanger, Johnson
would like to move his existing fuel tanks
and storage facility to the northwest of the
hanger. Motion by Hustead, second by
Leonard to approve the building permit for
Johnson to build a hanger and move his
fueling facility. Motion carried.
The issue of business brochures that
hang on the outside of buildings are blow-
ing around, cluttering the street. Motion
by Dunker, second by M Anderson to
send a letter to the businesses requesting
no brochures when the business is
closed for the season as well as resolving
the issue when they are open. Motion car-
ried.
Mayor Hahn explained lights at the airport
are not working. The lights can be acti-
vated by pilots using their microphones
with a signal. The light is an FAA require-
ment and he is trying to repair them. A last
resort may be purchasing a new light con-
troller for $3,000.00. Motion by Dunker,
second by M Anderson to approve pur-
chasing new lights if they are not able to
be repaired. Motion carried.
Mayor Hahn expressed variations for sell-
ing the Backhoe, repairing it, or purchas-
ing another one. The known repairs esti-
mated cost is $4,800 and an approximate
cost for a backhoe that is ten to fifteen
years old would cost $35,000 - $40,000.
Possible usage of a backhoe would be 50
hours per year; however if a local contrac-
tor was hired for a $100 an hour with op-
erator would cost $5,000. Bids for the
1978 Case Backhoe where opened at
this time. A total of five bids were re-
ceived.
Motion by Dunker, second by Leonard to
award to the highest bid on the backhoe
to Wayne Huether for $5,051.51. Motion
carried.
An update was given on the purchase of
the Dunker property needed to move for-
ward with the sewer project. All required
paperwork is ready to be submitted to the
lien holder once notification is received
concerning if the appraisal is needed.
Motion by Hustead, second by M Ander-
son to authorize the engineer to go to bid
on the sewer project when all paperwork
is completed. Motion carried.
Councilman Morgan entered the meeting
at 7:30pm.
There was discussion on the need for a
generator and whether to pursue applying
for a grant to purchase one for the com-
munity center during a power outage. Es-
timated cost for the generator and the in-
stallation would be $100,000. Annual es-
timated maintenance cost would be
$2,500 -$2,800. Motion by Hustead, sec-
ond by M Anderson to pursue applying for
a grant to cover 100% of the cost. Motion
carried.
Motion by Dunker, second by M Anderson
to approve transferring the Ambulance
money market savings over to the new
EIN of the Ambulance District. Motion car-
ried.
Snow removal issues were addressed.
Some businesses on Main Street are not
removing snow at all and some are not
clearing the snow from building to curb as
required by ordinance. Snow is being
piled in the alleyways and on street cor-
ners that obstruct visibility. Letters are
being sent out and snow removal hired by
the City and then billed to the property

tal at Rapid City and Mrs. Curtis
was with him when the fire oc-

The weather seemed to favor the
spectators as much as the drivers
in the Badlands Baja 100 off-road
vehicle race held near Interior on
Sunday, February 20. The
weather, sunny and warm with a
mild breeze, led to a fast-paced
race and a crowd of some 3000 peo-
ple. Whereas mud is usually an in-
tegral part of bajas, this year dust
created problems for the drivers.
Several drivers cars overheated or
suffered mechanical breakdowns,
and one car rolled over at the start
as a result of the dusty conditions.
Daryl Dressler of Rapid City won
first place overall. Rocky Kennedy
was the highest placer from Wall
with a second place finish in the
modified 4-wheel drive class.
Marty Huether and Barry Sev-
erson represented Wall in the
State B Wrestling Tournament
held in Huron, February 18-19.
The results of the two wrestlers
were entirely different as Huether
came out of the tournament un-
scathed and Severson was unable
to garner a victory at the tough
level of state competition. Huether
became the first wrestler in Walls
history to make it through a sea-
son as the undefeated state cham-
pion. He ran his season record to
24-0 in becoming the 119-pound
champion. His career record ended
at 108 wins, seven losses and one
tie.

The Wall Board of Education
met in special session last week
and following executive session
moved to reduce high school Eng-
lish teacher Nancy Iverson from
full-time to half-time in the Eng-
lish department. According to
Supt. Ken Poppe, the move was
made due to projected student
numbers, the boards desire for
change in curriculum offerings and
the need to be more efficient with
staff and offerings now available.
Dave and Linda LaFee sold their
Express Mart Conoco convenience
store to Shannon Capital, a Rapid
City-based company which had
been delivering fuel products to
the Wall store. Shannon Capital,
which recently purchased a second
convenience store in Mitchell,
changed the name of Walls Conoco
from Express Mart to the Corner
Pantry, which is the name of their
Mitchell store as well. Chuck Van
Vleck manager of LaFees Express
Mart, resumes at duty as manager
of the Corner Pantry. Ownership
changed January 7, 1993.
Three Wall High School seniors
recently returned from Pierre,
where they were serving as legisla-
tive pages. Heather Fortune,
daughter of Roger and Bonna For-
tune, Quinn, served under Repre-
sentative Gordon Pederson; Anna
Eisenbraun, daughter of David
and Maria Eisenbraun, Wall,
served under Representative Gor-
don Pederson; Sean Patterson, son
of Dale and Barb Patterson, Wall,
served under Senator Lyndell Pe-
terson.
The Eagles continued their suc-
cessful season with a third place in
the Regional Wrestling Tourna-
ment. Wall qualified four wrestlers
to the State Meet held in Water-
town this weekend. Stanley
County ran away with the tourna-
ment and Mobridge took second.
The qualifiers for State are Ryan
Patterson, Chris Lurz, Dustin
Lurz, and Matthew Brucklacher.
Wall Eagles soar to their fifth
win of the season with a convinc-
ing 78-71 victory over heated rival
New Underwood in Wall, last
Tuesday.

A long time ago, my wife and I
came to the conclusion that usually
when we see something that is not
so positive in one of our children,
there is a very good chance that
one or the other of us, as parents,
is needing improvement in that
same area of our own life. Put an-
other way, seeing the weaknesses
in our child's life is a lot like look-
ing into a mirror that reminds us of
our faults and shortcomings.
For instance, you scold your son
for grumbling and complaining
about doing their chores; when you
hold up the mirror you see you
have been grumbling and com-
plaining about your job too. Or you
remind your daughter for the
umpteenth time to stop leaving her
stuff laying all over the place; the
mirror reveals that you aren't very
good about putting your things
away either. Whatever our actions
and attitudes, our children some-
how get the idea they have our per-
mission to do what they have seen
us do. Monkey see, monkey do!
We dads (and moms too) whether
we like it or not, are setting the ex-
ample every day for our children at
home. It can take a great deal of
courage and honesty to look into
that mirror and have to admit that
our child is only imitating what
they have seen in us.
Please keep in mind that I have
been on a quest for self-improve-
ment for nearly all my adult life,
and at the same time have been an
open book, sharing my journey
with its challenges, discoveries and
successes along the way. I have not
said this in a long time, but the fact
remains that accountability and re-
sponsibility go hand in hand. Not
only parents, but also employers,
supervisors, politicians and anyone
else who is in leadership in any ca-
pacity needs to look in the mirror
more often-to take a good look to
find out what is behind that mask
of mediocrity.
If you recognize yourself in what
I have written-as I know it de-
scribes me at times-then be chal-
lenged right now to commit to mak-
ing the personal and professional
changes necessary in order to have
a more positive impact on those
that we lead.
Look in the Mirror
