Wall Health Serviceshosts annual meeting

by Laurie Hindman Entrepreneurship class studentsRidge Sandal and Thomas VanOsdol came before the Wall SchoolBoard with a request to begin abusiness within the Wall School. The class is learning the funda-mentals of starting a business andrunning it. They asked the board to con-sider allowing them to put gumballand candy machines in the school. Their reasoning behindthis adventure is to learn every as-pect of how a business is run andwhat it takes to run it. If they make enough money theywould like to start a scholarshipfund for students who take theclass. Board Member Mary Williamswas not to keen on putting candymachines in the school. Superintendent Dennis Rieck-man asked the class to researchsome healthy options. The issuewas tabled until the March meet-ing so the class can look into differ-ent options. A technology report was given byRandall Poste for the Big WhiteSchool. Poste related different optionsfor teaching long distance learningclasses to Big White students whowill be starting the seventh gradeclass this upcoming fall. Parents from the Big White,Wall Teacher Pandi Pittman andPoste related their opinions onwhat method would be the best, Rieckman said, “The board hasthree options: Keep the school as itis, Make the school either K-5th orK-6th or K-8 and provide technol-ogy.” He also noted these are chal-lenging issues that the boardneeds to think about and make. Nathaniel Traveny who recentlymoved to Wall, is a personaltrainer and would like to use thePowerhouse to provide training toanyone who is interested. He will provide insurance and10 percent of what he charges willbe paid to the school. Rieckman has contacted theschool attorney who provided a listof what will be required by Tra-

veny. Rieckman informed Travenythey would discuss his proposalduring executive session and makea decission on what they deemedas the best. Elementary Principal ChuckSykora announced Kindergartenscreening will be held on Friday,April 5. Please call the school tomake an appointment. Parent/Teacher conferenceswent very well with 90 percent ofparents showing up. Business Manager Niki Mohrrelated, there are two board posi-tions up for reelection this year.Petitions can be picked up in heroffice on Friday, March 1 and re-turned by March 25. Rieckman gave an update on at-tendance which is sitting at 95.9percent. Track and Golf rules werehanded out for board members totake home and read. A track sched-ule was also provided to them. Head Custodian Dan Hauk andRieckman have been working on afive year Capital Outlay plan. Theboard may want to think about re-placing the Dodge Stratus and thebleachers at the Powerhouse.Handicap accessible doors will beput in the school. Rieckman said,they are looking at different secu-rity issues for the school. Williamsasked if bullet proof glass shouldbe 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 discussingstudent issues and personnel, ac-cording to SDCL 1-25-2. After executive session theboard went over the second read-ing of the Volunteer Policy andStaff Development Policy. Nathaniel Traveny’s requestwas tabled until the March meet-ing.

Fireline breaks: Floods Wall Drug basement

Garrett Bryan used a sludge pumpwhich pumps 500 gallons of watera minute to empty out the WallDrug basement. They finishedpumping around 2:30 a.m. Friday,February 15. Mayor Dave Hahn who receiveda call at 11:02 p.m. on Thursdaynight said. “Water filled the oldpart of the basement upto the olddishroom.” Hahn noted there was some

stuff stored in the old basementand guessed the leak to be around100,000 gallons of water. Site Works Specialist who hadinstalled the fireline during lastyear’s main street project andCETEC Engineer Jeb Rieb were onthe job Friday morning. It was

found the fireline going into theWall Drug had broken or cameapart causing the flood. Rieb stated, “It was an isolatedbreak and the water should beturned back on to the main portionof the Wall Drug by noon on Fri-day.” The Mall and Pharmacy wereopen for business since the base-

Out on the African Savannah,there are some things everyonejust knows are true: meerkats aresocial, lions have pride, hippos arebig, and zebras have stripes--allzebras except Xena that is! Xena was born without stripes,and to make matters worse, shespells her name with an “X” not a“Z” like zebras should. It’s just toodifferent! It’s just not right! Whatis a zebra without its stripes? Xena struggles with who she re-ally is as she listens to others tellher who she is supposed to be. How can you be comfortablewith your place in the world if youdon’t know who you are? As shemeets character after character(and boy do we mean characters!)she sees that everyone has uniqueattributes and captivating quirks! Life on the Savannah is an ex-otic, electric dream, but the Savan-nah of our dreams is not alwayspeaches 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 “youjust gotta be you,” and it neverever hurts to have a sense of

As you know, I generally do notlike Resolutions but, HCR 1006 isimportant for both the State andNation. It petitioned the President andSecretary of State to authorize theKeystone XL pipeline which Iwhole heartedly supported. Everysession we have to back fill thewildfire suppression funds andthis time it cost you 4.2 million dol-lars to pay for the 2012 fire season. Hopefully the Good Lord willshow us some mercy during the2013 fire season. In State Affairs this week, I sup-ported an important economic de-velopment initiative that com-bined two bills 1161 and 1196 thatprovide many more opportunitiesfor small towns and businesses toget assistance for startups andgrowth. I also supported, to no avail,1250 which was a States RightsBill that sent a message to theFeds to keep out of our affairs eventhough it was unenforceable. Although it is not on the flooryet, I co-sponsored and stronglysupport SB 156 that creates moreavenues for townships to allow cit-izens of isolated developments toimpose an assessment on them-

selves to improve their roads. SB27 the appropriations for the Vet-erans Home has not come to thefloor yet but I will obviously be avocal supporter of this bill.

I have one issue that popped upin regards to Purple Heart recipi-ent license plates. The way thestatute is worded it can only go toa veteran defined as not on activeduty. An active duty soldier who wasre-enlisted three times was deniedthe plate. The reasoning was thatwe did not anticipate any conflictor war that would last for morethan a decade. I am working on a complete re-view with the Department of Vet-eran Affairs and Deb Hilmen atthe Department of Revenue so thatnext session we can make all ofthose special plates for servicemembers consistent and also beable to recognize the sacrifices ofour active duty service men andwomen.Rep Mike [email protected]@aol.comCellphone- (605)391-5093Hall Phone-(605)574-2466Home Address- P.O.

This has been another week ofpassionate testimony on a numberof bills. One of them was SB 171 whichattempted to address cruelty todogs, cats and horses. Numerous atrocities againstpets were graphically describedand pictures circulated. It makesyou wonder how anyone could beso calloused and cruel. The intentof the bill was to increase thepenalty from a Class 1 Misde-meanor to a Class 6 Felony. Thebill was defeated however an im-proved bill that ties into existingcodified law will no doubt be pre-sented next year. Those of you with commercialdrivers license may be interestedin SB 44. This bill has gathered reluctantsupport from legislator due to a$12 mill penalty in loss of federalhighway funds if S.D., does notadopt it. Drivers caught textingwhile driving in S.D., or any otherstate could lose their license undercodified law found in chapter 32-12A.

A number of you have sent meemails concerning the US Secondamendment. I would encourage you to look atSB 207 which clearly states the po-sition of South Dakota regardinggun ownership and rights to self-defense. It definitively prohibits all in-fringement by federal agencies.Further it directs the Office of theAttorney General to be vigilantand proactive in protecting ourSouth Dakota rights. Octane labeling has passed thehouse 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 ofproduction, distribution and at thepumps. Kind of an easy answer toan issue that caused so muchruckus several months ago. Please contact me with yourcomments and questions.

State awards $278,000 to 23 rural hospitals Twenty-three rural hospitals inSouth Dakota will receive a total of$278,037 in federal funding forprojects to improve patient access,reduce medication errors, reducehospital readmissions, and im-prove operations. The federal Medicare Rural Hos-pital Flexibility Program fundingcomes through the South DakotaDepartment of Health. Over thelast 12 years, rural hospitals inSouth Dakota have received morethan $4,078,000 in direct awardsthrough the program. Hospitals must be Medicare-cer-tified as critical access to be eligi-ble for the funds. Critical accesshospitals receive a higherMedicare reimbursement rate andare eligible for federal funding forimprovement projects. There arecurrently 38 critical access hospi-tals in South Dakota. The funding helps rural hospi-

tals make direct, positive impactson patient care and health out-comes, noted an official from thePlatte Health Center – Avera, oneof the facilities receiving funds. “Without the additional supple-mental financial assistance we re-ceive from this program, we wouldnot have been able to implementthe programs and processes wecurrently have in place,” said JodySternberg, RN, and Director of Pa-tient Care Services at Platte. “Thisprogram makes a difference forcritical access hospitals.” Sustaining essential healthcareservices in rural and underservedareas is a key objective of the De-partment of Health’s 2020 Initia-tive.

by Libbi Sykora “Don’t make me use my librarian

voice!” Let’s 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? I’m guessing thatthe majority is able to relate to thisexperience. I am here to empathizeand report that you can expect thecontrary from our library.

You never have to be concernedabout meeting a quiet, enigmaticlibrarian at Wall Community Li-brary. Come on in and chat withus. Librarians are knowledgeableabout multitudes of topics, and welove to be in conversation with oth-ers. Because we are constantly inthe presence of books, we oftencome into contact with differentviewpoints and ideas. Discussingsuch matters creates ground forgrowth and understandingamongst the population.

In a feeble attempt to entice thepublic into our library (becausesooo many people read the news-paper anymore), I am doing a se-ries elaborating what you have to

Here’s a brief review of some ofthe S.D. Legislature’s recent ac-tion. •Veterans seeking legislativesanction of establishing a veteranscemetery in Eastern South Dakotawere disappointed by the HouseState Affairs Committee, whichvoted Feb. 6 to kill it. Rep. StaceNelson, along with various stateveterans’ organizations, asked forthe authority to acquire 50 acres ofland along the I-90 corridor, prom-ising to raise the money on theirown. The Department of VeteransAffairs objected, noting there cur-rently are cemeteries in Sturgis,and soon to be in Pine Ridge andMission. •Restoring state salary assis-tance to the county’s veterans serv-ice officers received initial ap-proval Feb. 6 from House State Af-fairs and was sent to the Housefloor with a unanimous vote. Theannual $168,000 was cut two yearsago during the state’s budgetcrunch. With HB1249, countieswould be able to request reim-bursement for some costs associ-ated with the VSO. •Efforts to give voters anotherchance to change terms for legisla-tors were addressed by the SenateState Affairs Committee resultedin one plan given the nod, theother sent to the 41st day, orkilled. The full Senate will dis-cuss SJR1, which changes thelength of the current two-yearterms to four. Killed was a pro-posal to limit legislators to no morethan eight years in each house,served consecutively. Sen. Bill VanGerpen, R-Tyndall, said he wassurprised SJR4 was not given aSenate floor hearing, when votershave expressed their support forterm limits. •A bill to permit townships tolevy a capital improvement prop-erty tax for highways, secondaryroads, bridges, and culverts passedthrough the House Taxation Com-mittee and is expected to be heardin the House this week. Townshipscould levy 50-cents per thousand..HB1189 would be an option whereneeded, it was noted. Counties hadbeen part of the original bill, butwere removed in committee. •Democrats are seeking to workwith Republicans on economic de-velopment this year. Sen. Jason

Short takes fromthe State Capitol

Frerichs, D-Wilmot, said in a re-cent news conference that “infra-structure seems to be the biggeststumbling block” to economic de-velopment. That would include im-provements for roads, water andsewer and broadband service.Housing, he said, also goes hand inhand for economic development. •Republicans leader Larry Rho-den, Union Center Senator, said hehas introduced a bill that wouldprovide a vehicle for conversationof K-12 funding, that any increasewould go to the state’s funding ef-fort. He said 30 senators and 48house members had co-signed thebill. “It appears there is a lot ofsupport to have that conversation,”said Rhoden in a Thursday newsconference. •A standing-room-only meetingof the Senate Ag Committee Feb. 7discussed SB148, which wouldhave reestablished certain admin-istrative rules in the Departmentof Environment and Natural Re-sources relating to undergroundinjection control and in situ leachmining. After two hours of testi-mony and discussion, the bill wassent to the 41st day, effectivelykilling it for this session. •Gov. Dennis Daugaard said ina Feb. 7 press conference that thestate’s economic recovery had goodnews and bad news. The goodnews: the recovery was proceedingat about the pace projected in De-cember. However, the bad newswas that the news was “not anyrosier than that,” as it had been inseveral preceding years. •Gov. Dennis Daugaard saidseveral amendments have beenmade to the School Sentinel bill,which has created much discus-sion. He said he doesn’t object tothe underlying concept of the billas long as safeguards are in place.The bill would allow school dis-tricts to have an armed guard inthe 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, notabout spouses,” cautioned Sen.Jean Hunhoff, R-Yankton. Sen.Dan Lederman, R-Dakota Dunes,noted that if it were not the rightconcept, then why had he gottenover 200 e-mails wanting itpassed. The bill failed on a vote of13 in favor, 21 against, one absent.

Charlene spent the nightwith her sister Cleo and Tuesdaymorning picked up Hazel and theyhad breakfast at the Dorsett Homewith Hazel’s tablemates from lastsummer when she was a residentafter her hip replacement. Friday, Clayton, Conrad andCharlene were in Rapid City doingtheir income tax. Charlene stayed

up and spent the night with hersister, Cindy Severson. Saturday, Clayton, Charlene,Conrad and Kalie Kjerstad andCindy Severson went to DouglasHigh School and watched Austanand Kyler and other Wall boys atthe AAU Wrestling tourney. Aus-tan placed first and Kyler placed4th. My thanks to Linda LaFee forsubmitting the news article aboutDavid Van Vleck leaving forAfghanistan! You had told me thiswhen we were in the Mesa Airportbut I neglected to ask if I could putit in the paper. I would hate to sub-mit something for publicationwithout asking to do so. Norman Klingbile had a good“turn out” for his open house onSunday for his 85th birthday. Cer-tainly was a lot of visiting going onand a place to see people youhadn’t seen in a while. Congratu-lations, Norman! Orlin and Lourine Winkowitschbrought Evelyn Kjerstad withthem on Sunday and attendedchurch. Winkowitsches went tovisit the Harnisches. Evelyn,Donna Jedlicka and Frances Postehad lunch together. Evelyn beatFrances in a couple games ofScrabble. All attended Norman’sparty. ‘Theme” meal was on Tuesday oflast week. Over thirty peopleturned out for the turkey dinner.Thursday evening of this week, the21st, will be Senior Citizen’sPotluck supper. The Meals Program will servethe last of the caramel rolls (forthis year) on Thursday morning,the 21st. We appreciated all thosewho came to partake and get insome visiting. The Methodists had a soup sup-per on Ash Wednesday followed byLenten study and worship service.

Each Wednesday evening throughLent the Methodist Men will servea soup supper at 5:30 p.m., fol-lowed by Lenten study at 6:00 p.m. President’s Day was observed onMonday, February 18th. It effectsthe bank, post office, city offices,school, etc. About a month ago, Lillian Hor-ton had been ill and was taken tothe Philip Hospital. She is betterbut is still in the “swing bed” sec-tion. We wish her well. June Wanczyk has been sickalso. She is in the Philip Hospitalbut plans are for her to be movedon February 25th to the GoodSamaritan 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 onSunday evening, a fundraiser. TheBill Leonards were among thosewho attended and Bill said it wasvery good. The Wall Drug Store is usuallyopen for business as usual — ex-

ceptions: New Year’s Day, Easter,Thanksgiving, Christmas, bliz-zard, fire and now flood! The watermain broke in the basement caus-ing a flood of water. The main storehas been opened but the restau-rant was still closed on Mondaymorning. Habits are hard to break!I’m certain all the coffee drinkerswill be back as soon as they open.Can’t even imagine the mess thathad to be cleaned up! We had some wonderfully warmtemperatures last week, especiallyon the weekend. The ice, left froma drift across my drive, finally alldisappeared on Saturday. Thereare still drifts around town andwhere they piled mountains ofsnow while clearing streets andparking lots. This week is going tobe quite a bit colder if today (Mon-day) is any indication — it iswindy, raw and cold! Kind words can be short andeasy to speak, but their echoes aretruly endless. ~Mother Teresa Have a good week!

Focus on the Familycan’t tell you where to work or ex-actly how many hours to devote toyour occupation. We don’t have asimple formula for balancing busi-ness affairs with family life. Theseare questions you need to resolveby praying and listening to God’svoice. You should also discuss yourneeds and priorities with yourspouse and seek the counsel ofclose friends. With the help ofthose who really care about you,try to work through your personalcommitments and priorities inlight of biblical principles. In a case like this it can be help-ful to remember that God hasgranted us tremendous liberty inChrist (Galatians 5:1). As a Chris-tian, you aren’t called to slavish le-galism but to freedom and discov-ery. It’s not a matter of obeyingrules or mapping out a tightly con-structed schedule. Instead, it’sabout walking by faith and livingin the Spirit. Among other things,that means learning by trial anderror how to fulfill your uniqueGod-given calling while loving oth-ers with the selfless love of Christ. Are your long hours having adamaging effect on your marriage,your family, your health, or yourrelationships with others? This isthe question you need to ask your-self. Seek the Lord’s guidance andtry to answer it honestly. If you de-cide that you really are workingtoo much, you’ll have to stop andfigure out how you got into this sit-uation. Ask yourself if there’s afeasible way out. Do you reallyhave to spend this much time onthe job? What is it that’s drivingyou? Is it your employer’s demandsor your own pressing financialneeds? If the latter, can you findother ways of balancing thebudget? Can you cut costs? Down-scale your lifestyle? Eliminate ma-terialistic goals and values? That last question brings usback to the issue of priorities. Bygetting a handle on what mattersmost to you, you can clear the airof a lot of confusion. When you

know your priorities, you can elim-inate non-essentials. This will helpyou gain a sense of focus and pur-pose. Rather than accepting yoursituation at face value, train your-self to listen to the Spirit. Try todiscern what He wants you to do.Don’t be defined by externals. In-stead, define yourself in terms ofGod’s principles and God’s plan foryour life. It’s a question of learninghow to channel your time and en-ergy into the fulfillment of yourown unique calling. Maybe you don’t think this ad-vice fits your situation. Perhapsyou believe that your priorities arein order. Maybe you’re workinglong hours solely because of the de-mands of an unreasonable boss. Ifso, you may want to start thinkingabout looking for a new position.That’s not something to be under-taken lightly, of course, especiallyin today’s challenging economy.Still, if you’re feeling pressured,unhappy in your work, and de-prived of meaningful relationshipsat home, it might be time to stepout in faith and take some risks.You don’t want to spend the rest ofyour life hating what you’re doing. Here are a few things to keep inmind as you evaluate your currentoccupation and consider the possi-bility of looking for a new job.When trying to decide if you’re cutout for a certain profession, askyourself the following three ques-tions: 1) Do I have a passion forthis kind of work? 2) Do I possessthe required background andskills? And 3) Do I feel called to dothis? If you can say “yes” to allthree, then go for it. There’s an ex-cellent chance that you’ll find suc-cess and fulfillment along thatpath.

Posted By Pastor Cornelius R. StamCenturies before Christ, the Psalmist said:

“If thou, Lord, shouldst mark iniquities… whoshall stand? But there is forgiveness with Thee…” (Psa. 130:3,4).

It is doubtful whether the Psalmist understood the basisupon which a just God, through the ages, has so gra-ciously forgiven sins, but this has since been revealed inthe Epistles of Paul.

There we read: “God for Christ’s sake hath forgivenyou” (Eph. 4:32). But this is only part of the truth, for Godforgives sinners, not merely because Christ desires this,but because Christ paid for their sins and purchased theirredemption. Thus Eph. 1:7 declares: “In [Christ] we haveredemption, 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 andbrethren, that through this Man is preached untoyou the forgiveness of sins:

“And by Him all that believe are justified fromall things, from which ye could not be justified bythe law of Moses” (Acts 13:38,39).

Obviously such forgiveness can never be rescinded orrevoked, for it is based upon the full and complete pay-ment of our whole debt of sin by “the precious blood ofChrist.”

Sad to say, many people do not feel they need forgive-ness, for they have not seen themselves as they truly arein the sight of a holy God, but those who are conscious oftheir sins and are willing to say with the prodigal son: “Ihave sinned,” may experience the peace and joy of sinsforgiven by faith in Christ who paid sin’s penalty for us.

Here is forgiveness that can never be revoked becauseit is based on the “one offering [of Christ at Calvary]” bywhich our Lord “hath perfected forever them that are sanc-tified [i.e., set apart as His own]” (Heb. 10:14).

FRoM YoGA FoLLoWERS?Richard Wahlstrom

www.edwardjones.com It’s probably not on your calendar,but World Yoga Day takes place onFeb. 24. As more people have discov-ered its healthful benefits, yoga hasgrown in popularity. But whether ornot you practice yoga, you can applyits lessons to other areas of your life— such as investing. Specifically, consider the followingyoga-related themes and how theymight translate into investmenthabits that may be beneficial: •Balance — If you observe ad-vanced yoga practitioners, you willbe amazed at the balance they ex-hibit during certain positions. Butfor serious yoga students, the idea of“balance” goes beyond physicalmovements and extends to a conceptof life that emphasizes, among otherthings, an avoidance of extremes. Asan investor, you too need to avoid ex-tremes, such as investing too aggres-sively, too conservatively or too spo-radically. By building a balancedportfolio, and by investing regularly,you can help improve your chancesof making progress toward your fi-

nancial goals. •Flexibility — Among its manybenefits, yoga helps people increasetheir flexibility — and greater flexi-bility results in fewer injuries andan increased capacity to enjoy manyphysical activities. As an investor,you need to be flexible enough to ad-just your portfolio as needed whilestill following a long-term strategythat’s appropriate for your individ-ual goals, risk tolerance and timehorizon. •Relaxation — For yoga students,proper relaxation is essential toachieving mental equanimity, emo-tional balance and inner strength.But relaxation doesn’t always comeeasily — even experienced yogapractitioners need to work at it. Asan investor, you also may need totrain yourself to relax because, giventhe ups and downs of the market, it’snot hard to become overwrought andmake ill-advised decisions based onshort-term events. Staying calm andmaintaining a long-term view ofthings may help you make better in-vestment decisions. •Positive thinking — Our ownthoughts and actions are largely re-sponsible for creating our happiness

and success, according to yogateachings. And positive thinking canplay a key role in investing, too. Forexample, if you were to constantlylook at negative headlines, youmight conclude that it is pointless toinvest for the future because exter-nal events — economic instabilityabroad, political squabbles at home,natural disasters and so on — willjust disrupt your plans. Conse-quently, you might decide not to in-vest, or invest in such a way thatcan make progress toward your fi-nancial goals difficult. But if youmaintain a positive attitude, youmay be more inclined to investwisely for •Visualization —In yoga, visualization is often usedto reduce stress. At any given time,you might find it difficult to relax,but you can use your imagination tosee yourself — and put yourself — ina relaxed state. As an investor, youneed to visualize your goals, such asa comfortable retirement, before youcan define a strategy to help youwork toward them. By seeing your-self where you want to be, you’ll bemotivated to take the actions neces-sary to work toward getting there. Try putting the principles of yogato work — they may help you be-come a better investor.

School & Sports Pennington County Courant • February 21, 2013•

We are in the middle of Febru-ary and the weather has beenpretty good. One of the tougher de-cisions I make during the schoolyear is calling off school, leavingearly, or starting late. First andforemost my decision is based onthe safety of the students. So far Ihave not had to deal with theschool closing this year, but we stillhave some winter left. In January, I made a recommen-dation to the school board to movethe Big White School from a K-8attendance center to K-5. I based my recommendation onthe new Common Core Standardscoming out in Math, LanguageArts, and Science. The rigor involved and the newway the standards are beingtaught makes it a huge undertak-ing for any school. I also looked at the number ofgrade levels being taught at BigWhite next year by one teacherand an aid. By moving to K-5 we will reduce

From the Desk of the Superintendentthe number of grades by two. Itmay not seem like a big change,but when the grade levels are atthe Middle School level it doesmake it a big difference. The school was presented withsome options to use technology toteach the middle school studentsand remain a K-8 school. The Big White School and theteachers over the years have pro-vided an excellent education forthe students. It is a great commu-nity of students and supportiveparents. I see this change as a positivemove for the middle school stu-dents and an opportunity to betterthe education of the younger stu-dents by focusing more time withthem. The board will make a decisionin March, as to what direction theywant Big White to move. It will bea difficult and emotional decisionand we will move forward withwhatever is decided and do what isbest for our students.

The legislature is better thanhalf done with their session for2013. It has been a quiet sessionfor education so far. Looming out there is HB 1087which deals with armed sentinelsin schools. The bill would give local boardsthe option of arming some staffmembers with a weapon. This willallow a first line of defense if nec-essary. Everyone wants to feel theirchild will be safe when they aredropped off each day. As Superintendent, the safety ofthe students in our school is a pri-ority. We are always looking for waysto improve the safety of our stu-dents. Is bringing weapons intothe school the right thing to do? Ihave reservations and questions asI hope everyone does. I feel it needs to be studied morebefore implementing any law al-lowing weapons on school property.

30 years ago… The weather seemed to favor thespectators as much as the driversin the Badlands Baja 100 off-roadvehicle race held near Interior onSunday, February 20. Theweather, sunny and warm with amild breeze, led to a fast-pacedrace and a crowd of some 3000 peo-ple. Whereas mud is usually an in-tegral part of bajas, this year dustcreated problems for the drivers.Several drivers’ cars overheated orsuffered mechanical breakdowns,and one car rolled over at the startas a result of the dusty conditions.Daryl Dressler of Rapid City wonfirst place overall. Rocky Kennedywas the highest placer from Wallwith a second place finish in themodified 4-wheel drive class. Marty Huether and Barry Sev-erson represented Wall in theState “B” Wrestling Tournamentheld in Huron, February 18-19.The results of the two wrestlerswere entirely different as Huethercame out of the tournament un-scathed and Severson was unableto garner a victory at the toughlevel of state competition. Huetherbecame the first wrestler in Wall’shistory to make it through a sea-son as the undefeated state cham-pion. He ran his season record to24-0 in becoming the 119-poundchampion. His career record endedat 108 wins, seven losses and onetie. 20 years ago… The Wall Board of Educationmet in special session last weekand following executive sessionmoved to reduce high school Eng-lish teacher Nancy Iverson fromfull-time to half-time in the Eng-lish department.

Dave and Linda LaFee sold theirExpress Mart Conoco conveniencestore to Shannon Capital, a RapidCity-based company which hadbeen delivering fuel products tothe Wall store.

A long time ago, my wife and Icame to the conclusion that usuallywhen we see something that is notso positive in one of our children,there is a very good chance thatone or the other of us, as parents,is needing improvement in thatsame area of our own life. Put an-other way, seeing the weaknessesin our child's life is a lot like look-ing into a mirror that reminds us ofour faults and shortcomings. For instance, you scold your sonfor grumbling and complainingabout doing their chores; when youhold up the mirror you see youhave been grumbling and com-plaining about your job too. Or youremind your daughter for theumpteenth time to stop leaving herstuff laying all over the place; themirror reveals that you aren't verygood about putting your thingsaway either. Whatever our actionsand attitudes, our children some-how get the idea they have our per-mission to do what they have seenus do. Monkey see, monkey do! We dads (and moms too) whetherwe like it or not, are setting the ex-ample every day for our children athome. It can take a great deal ofcourage and honesty to look intothat mirror and have to admit thatour child is only imitating whatthey have seen in us. Please keep in mind that I havebeen on a quest for self-improve-ment for nearly all my adult life,and at the same time have been anopen book, sharing my journeywith its challenges, discoveries andsuccesses along the way. I have not

said this in a long time, but the factremains that accountability and re-sponsibility go hand in hand. Notonly parents, but also employers,supervisors, politicians and anyoneelse who is in leadership in any ca-pacity needs to look in the mirrormore often-to take a good look tofind out what is behind that maskof mediocrity. If you recognize yourself in whatI 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 professionalchanges necessary in order to havea more positive impact on thosethat we lead.

Look in the Mirror
