Several blizzards and ice stormsduring recent winters demonstratehow a major winter storm can af-fect everyone in a large area.Heavy snow, freezing precipita-tion, strong winds, and cold tem-peratures blocked roads, causedpower outages, and prevented de-livery of essential supplies andservices; sometimes for several

weeks.As another winter season ap-

proaches, the National WeatherService encourages people to prac-tice safety guidelines to survivedangerous winter storms and pre-pare for extreme conditions by tak-ing the following steps:

Check your vehicles battery,antifreeze, wipers and windshieldwasher, ignition, thermostat, and

Time to prepare for winterweathertires.

Put a winter survival kit ineach vehicle. It should contain awindshield scraper, jumper cables,tool kit, tow chain or rope, tirechains, bag of sand or cat litter,shovel, flashlight with extra bat-teries, warm boots, and a blanket.For longer trips; add extra clothes,sleeping bags, a portable radio,

first-aid kit, high-calorie nonper-ishable food, matches and candles,and large coffee cans for sanitarypurposes or burning candles.

Keep an adequate supply offuel for your home or get an alter-native heating source. Learn howto operate stoves, fireplaces, andspace heaters safely and haveproper ventilation to use them.

Add insulation to your home;

Y2Y celebrates Red Ribbon Week

Red Ribbon Week. Students ofthe Wall School who participate in

Youth 2 Youth watched as JoelStephens from West River Electric

Association ties a red ribbonaround the Wall Drug dinosaursneck.

Red Ribbon week is celebratedduring the last week in October.

According to www.nfp.org/default.asp?PageNum=617, The RedRibbon Campaign was startedwhen drug traffickers in MexicoCity murdered DEA agent KikiCamarena in 1985. This began thecontinuing tradition of displayingRed Ribbons as a symbol of intol-erance towards the use of drugs.The mission of the Red RibbonCampaign is to present a unifiedand visible commitment towardsthe creation of a DRUG-FREE

AMERICA.Internet site http://www.gets-

martaboutdrugs.com/prevent/about_red_ribbon_week.html reports,Enrique (Kiki) Camarenas deathcreated a worldwide rallying cryagainst drug abuse. Kidnapped,

tortured, and brutally murderedby Mexican drug traffickers in1985, Kikis death mobilized thepublic and raised awareness ofdrug use and prevention.

The meaning of his sacrifice con-tinues to galvanize communitiesthrough Red Ribbon Week, whichcalls upon organizations, parents,and educators to reinforce the dan-gers of drug abuse with children.

Red Ribbon Week honors KikiCamarena, who more than 25years ago made the ultimate sacri-fice fighting drugs. The news of hisdeath touched the nation, andtoday, millions of young peopleborn well after Kikis death wearred ribbons and sign pledges to re-main drug-free, said DEA Admin-istrator Michele M. Leonhart. RedRibbon Week presents a criticalopportunity for parents, educators,and communities to fight the con-stant battle against drugs by talk-ing with children about the real is-sues around drug use and abuse.

Each year, Red Ribbon Weekreinvigorates the message that

drug abuse remains with us, andthat we must stay vigilant in thefight, says Jack Lawn, the DEA

Administrator at the time of Kikisdeath.

Agrees Administrator Leonhart,DEA will continue to take drugtraffickers out of our communitiesas part of a comprehensive drugcontrol strategy that includes ef-fective enforcement, prevention,and treatment. All those who puttheir lives on the line enforcing ournations drug laws pay tribute tothe young Americans who standwith them by wearing a red ribbonduring Red Ribbon Week.

Its important to remember thatparents, educators, and communi-ties are the first line of defense inthe fight against drug abuse, saysMr. Lawn. Law enforcement is acritical element in the fightagainst drug abuse, but the DEAalone cannot solve this problem.

We need your help and the helpof your community to keep kidssafe against drug abuse.

South Dakota hunters should bemindful that fire danger persistsacross the state, and safety meas-ures need to be taken to help pre-vent wildfires this opening week-end of the pheasant season.

We have had a particularly dryyear in our state, and hunters willfind high fire danger conditions

just about anywhere they go, saidEmmett Keyser, assistant directorfor the Game, Fish and ParksWildlife Division.

Keyser said there are severalsteps hunters should take to helpprevent wild fires.

Park your vehicle in a safe spotthat is clear of any vegetation andthen walk, Keyser said. Covercan be tall and tinder-dry, capable

of igniting from the heat of the un-dercarriage of a vehicle. Park yourvehicle in a safe spot, and exerciseextreme caution wherever youmight drive.

Besides normal hunting equip-ment, hunters should include some

Hunters cautioned

on fire dangerbasic fire prevention equipment:an extra container of water, fire ex-tinguisher, and fire suppressionequipment, such as a shovel orflappers.

Hunters should also report fires.Some of our best fire detection

comes from all our hunters in thefield, Keyser said. With all thoseeyes on the horizon, it is verylikely a potential fire can be de-tected and dealt with before it canprogress. Hunters should havetheir cell phones handy and imme-diately contact local emergencyservices or 9-1-1 to report a fire.

Keyser noted that South Dakotahas a very good record of firesafety during hunting seasons.

The key to fire safety is aware-

ness, he said. Hunters need touse common sense and be aware ofthe potential for wildfires no mat-ter what the conditions. A respon-sible persons actions can make ahuge difference in protecting bothproperty and wildlife resources.

The crane then swung the completed plane around and manualguided it to be placed on its permanent pedestal in front of themuseum.

Military Museum in Wastaadds new addition

The Military Museum at Wasta has placed a new addition to thetown of Wasta on Tuesday, October 23. Mark Brucklacher andseveral Wasta residents helped the Museum owners and thecrane operators place the body of the plane on the wings.

Do you have vision? If you areable to read this, then obviouslyyou can see, but I am not talkingabout that kind of vision, today. Iam talking about the kind of vision

that your mind sees down the road,around the corner, and up thestreet. Really, we all have the in-credible potential to see into our fu-ture. Many of us have never beentaught how to be visionary.

I would like to share with you theprocess that I have applied for sev-eral years in my life. I pretend fora moment that I have a telescopeand I am peering through it. Not atthe stars or the window across thestreet but off into the distance.What am I looking for? I see a faintimage of my life in the future. Icapture the image that I see. Theimage that I see is what my heart'sdesire and my mind's eye picturebring into focus. I know for a factthat each and every one of us arevery capable of doing this exercise,though it may take a little practice.

How do you see your life down

the road two to three years fromnow? How about three to five yearsfrom now? Or how about ten yearsfrom now? What do you see your-self doing? Are you achieving yourgoals and how are you doing it? Areyou happy? Successful? I shouldmention that it really helps ifyou're a little bit of an optimist.Being a visionary takes practice. Itis really worth it. It will stretchyou. I know that it has stretchedme.

As you begin this new week I en-courage you to look ahead. It willtake some time and some energy.Do not just "wing it" or "fly by theseat of your pants" any more. Lifeis a precious gift that should neverbe wasted. Choose to make themost of your life.

So go ahead. Get out your paint-brush and with broad strokes startpainting what you see. Don't worry

about the details. Just paint the vi-sion.

By Pastor Cornelius R. StamSt. Paul pointed out a basic Scriptural and logical

fact, when he said:For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but

the doers of the law shall be justified (Rom. 2:13).Many people suppose that God gave us the Ten Com-

mandments to help us to be good. The fact is, however,that He gave them to show us that we are bad. Rom. 3:20;Gal. 3:19 and a hundred other Bible passages teach thisclearly.

How can the Law be of any advantage to a law-breaker?How can it justify us unless we keep it perfectly?

Do you recall the woman caught in adultery, in John 8?She was a Jewess. She was better off than the Gentiles,for she had the law of Moses to show her right from wrong,but this didnt justify her; it condemned her. So her advan-tage turned out to be a serious disadvantage, for not thehearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of thelaw shall be justified.

James 1:23,24 says that one who knows the Law butdoesnt obey it, is like a man looking into a mirror, seeinghis dirty face, and then walking away without doing any-thing about it. This is why Rom. 2:14,15 declares that theconsciences of the heathen confirm what the Law says,their thoughts the meanwhile accusing, or else excusingone another.

Those in heathen lands know that it is wrong to lie andsteal and commit adultery, yet they know nothing about thelaw of God, or the Ten Commandments. How, then, do theyknow that these things are wrong? God made them withthis knowledge; He gave to them, and to us all, conscience,a sense of blameworthiness in doing wrong.

How good to know the One who has paid the penalty forour sins so that our hearts may be cleansed from an evilconscience (Heb. 10:22)!

Christ died for our sins (I Cor. 15:3).Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt besaved (Acts 16:31).

Jacob Tsitrian 1919-2012__________________________It's just as well that he survived

the 20th century, he was such aproto-child of it. My old man justdied. There's a saying in West

Africa that "when an old man diesa library burns down." You canonly imagine the size of the librarywe just lost with the passing of mydad. Born sometime around 1919in Ada Pazar, Turkey, he was a tod -dler when the local Pasha's troopscame and slaughtered all the Ar-menian men--my grandfather andnamesake Muggerdich ("John theBaptist") included--in the village

as part of a national program toeliminate millions of Armeniansand other Christians. That my dadescaped with his mother and oldersister is the stuff of family legend.

They grew up in an Armenianrefugee camp in Calamata, Greece,(the neighborhood is still called"Armeniko" among the locals,though the Armenians have longsince gone). My dad came of ageduring a Depression that was par-ticularly devastating to Greece,whose economy was so dependenton shipping olives, olive oil andwine to a world that couldn't affordthem.

Then the war came and he wasconscripted into the Greek army.He fought the Nazis in Macedonia,was shot through the hand, cap-tured, and trucked off to Dachau,near Munich. There he was a partof the second great mass killing of

the 20th century, having beenforced into work details that builtthe ovens used for burning up the

dead Jews in the concentrationcamp. He was also forced to workin the nearby BMW factories inMunich, building war machines,surviving on two half-rotten pota-toes a day. He escaped as the warcame to a close and rambledaround Europe looking for a life.

Jacob finally landed in a refugeecamp in Rome, Italy, where he metmy mother, had me, then got mar-ried. By that point he'd made it ona list to come to the United Statesas a refugee, all of us transferringup to Stuttgart, Germany, where

my sister Christine was bornshortly before we arrived at EllisIsland in 1950. He made the mostof his life as an American, had mybrother Peter in 1954, eventuallydeveloping a couple of successfulrestaurants in Los Angeles beforeretiring to the wooded country onCalifornia's north coast.

He spent his last years in a fulltime care center near his twograndchildren, Christoper andJennifer, in northern Indiana,where he died today.

I salute my dad Jacob Tsitrianfor his service to the world and formaking it possible for me, my sib-lings and our kids and grandkidsto have our lives in America. It wasnot for nothing that he endured so

many years of pain and terror, andcarried the burden of those memo-ries for every one of those daysthat made up the 93 or so years ofhis life. The streams of his progenycontinue to be positive forces intheir communities, and make a fit-ting and enduring legacy for Jacob.

Our family welcomes all per-sonal expressions of sympathy andcondolence, but requests that theresources and time devoted tosending cards, flowers or other ex-pressions of care and concern bedirected toward helping the living

through churches and charities ofchoice. I assure you that Jacob, al-ways the practical business guy,would concur with this request.John and Dawna (Estes) Tsitrian

By Coach Kent AndersonOn Tuesday, October 23rd the

Wall Eagles took on the New Un-derwood Tigers in the first roundof the 2012 State Football Play-Offs. Wall and New Underwoodmet early in the season with Wallcoming out on top by a score of 31to 20.

New Underwood came into thegame on a hot streak and fieldinga 6-2 record. The Eagles were com-ing off a three game win streakand had a 5-3 record. Both teamshad the same power points, butsince Wall had won the first meet-ing they were able to host based onthe tie breaking procedure. It was

a set up for an exciting night offootball and the fans were not to bedenied. At the end of the game, theEagles won the hard fought con-test by the score of 27 to 16.

The first quarter was what wasexpected as both teams battled toget an edge. The Tigers would takethe ball over deep in their own ter-ritory. On second down the Tigersput the ball on the ground butwere able to recover the loose ball.On third and long, Lucas Hallbroke through a couple Eagle de-fenders and rambled downfield fora 63 yard gain. What seemed to be

a long touchdown run was stoppedby the hustle of Taran Eisenbrauncatching him and keeping himfrom paydirt. A few plays laterHall was not to be denied and ranthe ball around the left end for the16 yard touchdown run. AaronOberlander finished the drive on athree yard run and gave the Tigersthe early 8 to 0 lead. The Eagleswould come back soon after andadd a score of their own as TylerTrask did some waterbug runningaround the left end and rambled40 yards for the score. Andersonkicked the extra point the Eagleswere down 7 to 8.

In the second quarter, both

teams moved the ball offensivelybut faced stubborn defense by bothteams. Neither team would scoreand the game remained in NewUnderwoods favor 8 to 7 at half.Wall had found a good balance ofrun and pass in the first half andwere anxious to start the secondhalf.

On the opening kick-off of thesecond half, New Underwoodwould try for a knock out punch asLucas Hall would ramble 86 yardsfor the score. The point after wasgood and New Underwood had aquick 16 to 7 lead. The Eagles were

not to be outdone and with thecombination of the run and passgame scored a touchdown of theirown. Trask again took the ball infor another score from 14 yardsout. Andersons kick was good andNew Underwood held a 16 to 14lead.

The game was a battle! Solid de-fense by both teams and effectiveoffense kept everyone from won-dering how it would end. It was tobe the Eagles quarter! With a dom-inating defense and an explosiveoffense the Eagles would scoretwice and bring home the win. TheEagles took the ball and moveddown the field through the air asLane Blasius hit Anderson onthree big pass plays. With the com-bined air and land attack, the Ea-gles would finish off the drive asBlasius found Anderson in theendzone for the score. Andersonskick was good and Wall took theirfirst lead of the game by the scoreof 21 to 16. The Eagles defensestepped it up and forced the Tigersto punt. With the threat of thepass, the Eagles would use theground game to finish the Tigers.With a dose of Cade Kjerstad andTrask in the ground game, the Ea-gles would secure the victory asTrask would score from 10 yardsout and the Eagles would win theirfirst round game by eleven.

The Eagles had a well balancedattack as they had 193 yards rush-ing and 156 yards passing. Traskhad another outstanding perform-ance on the ground as he had 142

yards and three touchdowns.Lane Blasius completed nine of 18passes and one touchdown. Hismain target was Anderson as hehad six catches for 111 yards andone score. Its been there and itwas a great night to have both the

pass and run kick in. The backsand receivers had a great night,but the success was due to the menup front. Our front line of BenLinn, Ridge Sandal, LaketonMcLaughlin, Ryder Wilson, ClancyLytle, and Tyler Peterson producedrunning lanes and great pass pro-tection all night. Its where thegame is won and we won the battleof the line-of-scrimmage! Hats offto these young men. They did agreat job!

Defensively we did a great jobonce again. We have been gettingbetter every week. We have beenmore stingy on D every week weplay. Tonight would once again bea great night as our Defense onlygave up one score. The battle upfront was brutal and our l ineback-ers and defensive backs would fillin for the finish. The defense wasled by Les Williams with 13 tack-les and Lane Blasius with 12. Itwas a great swarming defensethroughout the night. Our passdefense has followed suit and An-derson was able to intercept a passas well. Like we have said all year,the best pass defense is a greatpass rush! In this case, we hadgreat pressure on the quarterbackprior to the interception.

With the win, the Eagles moveto six wins and three losses. Theirsecond round opponent will be thepowerful Canistota. Canistota is33-0 and have two State titles overthe past three seasons. They aredefinitely going to be a challenge.We will give them all we have and

look for a huge upset. The odds arenot in our favor, but then againthats why we play the game.Scoring:

covered almost by the wagon loadsby the Dowd Bros., road gradingcrew working on the Chamberlain-Ft. Thompson highway, accordingto reports reaching here this week.The skeletons, it is believed, areperhaps around two hundred yearsold, being those of the Ree Indians,who were driven from this section

by the Sioux in the late seven-teenth century. The skeletons werefirst noticed Tuesday when theroad graders were leveling off astrip the width of the new roadwithin two hundred feet of theSmith Creek bridge. With gradework now being complete, there isa bank several feet high where onecan see bones protruding out fromthe bank several inches and in anynumber of places.

Last week, Monday, Miss OpalJohnson drove to Rapid City withsome of the school teachers intend-ing to visit with friends and rela-tives for a couple of days. On Tues-day, she was quietly married toLynn Flatt of Quinn. Miss Elvira
