Cedar Canyon School locatedalong Anderson Hill Road was oneof many country schools that dot-ted the prairie in Eastern Penning-ton County. The school probablystarted out as a tar paper shacklike many of the homes, but asmore settlers came to the area theschool was remodeled to look like atypical country school. Carrol McDonald whom the WallAmerican Legion Post is namedafter was one of many teachers atthis school. His sister Mary Mc-Donald attended Cedar CanyonSchool and his mother Sarah Mc-Donald was also a teacher at theschool. Carrol was killed in 1918 inFrance. From this bit of history onecan only assume that the schoolwas built around the early part ofthe 1910’s. Joseph T. and Myrtle M. Haynestaught at the Cedar Canyon andLake Flatt Schools in 1918. Theytaught at these schools for severalyears. Students at the CedarCanyon School around 1920 wereChuck, Ona, Cliff and Ada Collins;Fred, Margaritte, Freda and OttoBatterman; Agnes, Albert and ClaySimpson; Leo, Jim, Naomi andMay Foster. Mrs Haynes was theteacher. The Batterman children be-longed to Friedrich and MinnieBatterman who lived along BullCreek. The children would eitherride horses or walk to school. Theyhad to climb Surveyor’s Hill whichwas a mile long and pretty muchstraight up and down. The Foster home set a mile southwest of the school. The Foster chil-dren would walk to school. Theyhad to cross a creek and used afallen tree as their foot bridge. Aroad was established in 1930’s tothe school. Other children that went toschool were Van Campens, McDon-alds and Wilkinsons.

Honoring our veterans On the 11th hour, of the 11th day,of the 11th month in 1918, anarmistice, or agreement to stopfighting, was reached between theAllied nations and Germany inWorld War I. One year later, PresidentWoodrow Wilson declared that No-vember 11, 1919 was a day to re-member Americans for their mili-tary service in World War I. Hecalled it Armistice Day. He sug-gested that Americans celebratewith parades and perhaps a “briefsuspension of business” around 11a.m. President Wilson also hopedit would be a time when Americansoffered prayers of thanksgiving forthose who had served and forpeace for all times. •President Wilson originally in-tended Armistice Day to be ob-served one time, but many statesdecided to observe it every year tohonor World War I veterans. •Congress followed the states’lead and in 1938 declared thatevery November 11 would be ob-served as Armistice Day. •Congress changed the name toVeterans Day in 1954 to honor vet-erans of all wars. •For a brief time, 1971-1974,Veterans Day was observed on the

4th Monday in October. Since1975, Veterans Day is always ob-served on November 11. • If November 11, falls on a Sat-urday or Sunday, the federal gov-ernment observes the holiday onthe previous Friday or followingMonday, respectively. •November 11, 1921, when thefirst of the unknown soldiers wasburied in Arlington NationalCemetery, unidentified soldiersalso were laid to rest at Westmin-ster Abbey in London and at theArc de Triomphe in Paris. •Memorial Day, the fourth Mon-day in May, honors American serv-ice members who died in service totheir country. •Veterans Day pays tribute toall American veterans, living ordead, but especially gives thanksto living veterans who served theircountry honorably during war orpeacetime. •States designate their own hol-idays, so there are no official U.S.national holidays. The governmentcan only designate holidays forfederal employees and for the Dis-trict of Columbia. But states al-most always follow the federallead.

Time line for Veterans Day ob-servance. •November 11, 1918. The fight-ing in World War I ended. (TheTreaty of Versailles formally endedthe war on June 28, 1919). •November 1919. PresidentWoodrow Wilson proclaimed thatNovember 11, 1919, would be ob-served as Armistice Day—a day tohonor the veterans of World War I. •November 11, 1921. The first ofthe unknown soldiers, a veteran ofWorld War I, was buried in Arling-ton Cemetery in Virginia in whathas become known as the Tomb ofthe Unknown Soldier. On the sameday, unidentified soldiers were laidto rest at Westminster Abbey inLondon and at the Arc de Triom-phe in Paris. •June 4, 1926. Twenty-sevenstates had made Armistice Day aholiday so Congress declared it tobe a recurring day of remem-brance. •May 13, 1938. Congress makesArmistice Day a national holiday. •June 28, 1968. Congresschanged Veterans Day to thefourth Monday in October. •September 20, 1975. PresidentGerald Ford changed VeteransDay back to November 11.

One was broken when hit by arunning horse on a cold winternight. Others gave way to roadconstruction or now stand bydriveways and sidewalks. Of the 720 quartzite monumentsthat once marked the border be-tween North Dakota and SouthDakota, officials at the SouthDakota State Historical Societyhave said that about half remain. After North Dakota and SouthDakota were admitted to theUnion on November 2, 1889, a lawpassed by Congress the next yearauthorized the secretary of the in-

“The Quartzite Border”

terior to have the seventh stan-dard parallel between the twostates surveyed and marked bysuitable and permanent monu-ments. According to The Quartzite Bor-der by Gordon L. Iseminger, SouthDakota Sen. Richard F. Pettigrewwrote the secretary of the interiorrecommending that the boundarybe marked with quartzite monu-ments available from quartzitequarries near Sioux Falls. Amongthe reasons Pettigrew made forhaving the markers be of a largesize was that a distinctly marked

boundary would allow for easier lo-cation of land claims. Also, stonemonuments would last longer thaniron posts and would cost less.Quartzite was attractive, durableand comparable in costs to suchbuilding materials as brick. WhatPettigrew probably did not statewas that he was a promoter of theuse of Sioux Falls quartzite. The contract for surveying andmarking the boundary wasawarded to Charles H. Bates ofYankton for $21,300. Markerswere to be placed every half mile. Bates’ being awarded the con-tract enraged Pettigrew, whowanted another to receive the bid. Bates and his crew of chainmen,moundmen and flagmen beganwork near the juncture of NorthDakota, South Dakota and Min-nesota boundaries in September1891. After stopping for the winter,Bates reached the eastern bound-ary of Montana in August 1892.The boundary, as measured byBates, was 360 miles, 45 chainsand 35 links. It was described as“the most perfect and comprehen-sive boundary line in the UnitedStates” by the Steele Ozone, aNorth Dakota newspaper. The markers Bates and his crewburied every half mile were sevenfeet long and 10 inches square, setthree-and-a-half feet in theground. They were marked at thequarry on the east side with M to

signify a half mile or 1M to signifya mile. All posts had the lettersN.D. on the north side and S.D. onthe south side. Markers across theSisseston-Wahpeton Reservationand west of the Missouri Rivercontained additional markings. Pettigrew continued to believethat Bates had secured the con-tract by underhanded means.Bates’ work had to be examinedand approved, and Pettigrew rec-ommended that North Dakota sur-veyor George Beardsley examineBates’ work. After examining Bates’ workeast of the Missouri River, Beard-sley reported that every monu-ment was in its proper place, cor-rectly and well-marked, and the“the surveyor did an honest pieceof work.” It was expected that the mark-ers would stand on the border for-ever. Such was not the case, how-ever, as some suffered at the handsof the elements, road builders, col-lectors and vandals. Bates’ name lives on in SouthDakota. The town of Batesland isnamed in his honor.

Now that chilly mornings haveus tucked inside we haven’t beenhearing the church bell on Sun-days and we miss it. No, we’re notasking Bud to turn up the volume,we just decided to open the backdoor for either the 8:15 reminderbell or the 8:30 “for reals” bell.Somebody has to make sure thereare 31 pulls and peels each time.Thanks, we do enjoy this Wastaway of starting the week!

For those of you who have beenlooking for information on a Medi-gap insurance policy, you know itcan be a tedious process. A groupcalled S.H.I.N.E. (Senior HealthInformation Education) is a no costservice of Health and HumanServices, you speak with real peo-ple who answer questions (pa-tiently) and send a useful packagethat is truly helpful. Halloween fun — youngstersand oldsters. Lloyd’s Wednesday morninggroup of Rapid City buddies had acouple show up for their weeklybreakfast meet that even theyfound strange. A fellow dressed for-mally in top hat and tuxedo, sideburned and bearded, a very distin-guished looking chap and a womanof uncertain age and occupationwere at the opposite end of theroom. The woman did have a sug-gestion of past glamour — longflowing auburn locks, eye lashesthat operated like “wipers” on herglasses, decked out in a stylishdress with accessories, had thecafe customers grinning and/or be-wildered. Lloyd Willey and hishigh school prankster friend BobLeonard cooked up this scheme totrick their breakfast buddies. Asuccessful trick and a good laughwas had by all! Wonder how thisbunch will retaliate? You can bet itwill be good! Evening Halloween trick ortreaters came in a variety of ap-pearances — pirates, zombies,skeletons, an orange haired rockstar, gypsies, ghoulish, long leggedbeasties, things that go bump inthe night and a spotted chickenbut this was an “udder” kind ofchicken! It’s always a treat to haveyou all come by. The youngest trickor treater was Kylee Smid and theoldest Joel Deering! The Black Hills Little LeagueFootball had their Super Bowlgames Saturday and Sunday. TheMitey Mites Wall Eagles had agreat season, made it through theplay-off games and went on to rep-resent Wall in their division. Itwas a great game on Sunday oftwo well matched teams. Thecheerleaders were on hand to keepthe crowd actively involved.Coaches and players did their best

but the Wall Eagles lost by a touchdown. To have made it to theSuper Bowl tells the world theMitey Mite Wall Drug Store EA-GLES are winners! Moms and dads, brothers andsisters, grandparents, aunts anduncles, cousins and neighbors are

FINANCIAL FOCUSSTILL TIME TO SET

UP OWNER-ONLy 401(K)FOR 2012

Richard Wahlstromwww.edwardjones.com

If you’re a small-business owner,with no full-time employees (ex-cept possibly your spouse or busi-ness partner), you’re probablyused to taking care of just abouteverything on your own. So, ifyou’re thinking of establishing aretirement plan — and you should— you might also be attracted to“going solo” with an “Owner-only”401(k). An Owner-only 401(k), some-times known as an Individual401(k), has been around for a fewyears now, and has proven quitepopular — and with good reason.This plan is easy to establish, easyto administer and, most impor-tantly, gives you many of the samebenefits enjoyed by employees of acompany that offers a traditional401(k) plan. These benefits include the fol-lowing: •Tax deferred earnings — Yourearnings aren’t taxed as they accu-mulate. •Tax deductible contributions —An Owner-only 401(k) consists oftwo components — salary deferraland profit sharing contributions,both of which are generally 100percent tax deductible. If youchoose to make Roth salary defer-rals to your Owner-only 401(k),your contributions aren’t de-ductible, but you won't pay taxeson your earnings, provided youdon’t take withdrawals until you’re59-1/2 and it's been five years sinceyour first year of Roth deferral. •Variety of investment choices— You can choose to fund yourOwner-only 401(k) with a widerange of investments. And you canconstruct an investment mix that’sappropriate for your risk tolerance

and long-term goals. Furthermore, an Owner-only401(k) can potentially allow you tomake greater contributions, at anidentical income level, than othersmall-business retirement plans,such as a SEP IRA. In 2012, youcan defer up to $17,000, or $22,500if you’re 50 or older (as long as youdon’t exceed 100 percent of your in-come). Then, in addition, you canmake a profit-sharing contributionequal to 25 percent of your income(slightly less if you are unincorpo-rated). So, by combining the salarydeferral and profit-sharing compo-nents, you can potentially con-tribute up to $50,000 to yourOwner-only 401(k) in 2012, or$55,000 if you’re 50 or older. Andthese figures are doubled if yourspouse also contributes to theOwner-only 401(k). However, you’re not obligated tocontribute anything to your plan.So, if your business is slow oneyear, you might scale back yourcontributions, or put in nothing atall. Then, when business picks upagain, you can get back towardcontributing whatever you can af-ford, up to the maximum. Clearly, the Owner-only 401(k)can offer you some key advantagesin building resources for retire-ment. But it’s not the only small-business retirement plan on themarket, so, before you make a de-cision, you may want to consultwith your tax and financial advi-sors to determine if an Owner-only401(k) is indeed the right plan foryou. But don’t wait too long. You’llhave to establish your Owner-only401(k) by Dec. 31 if you want to re-ceive any tax deductions for 2012.And in any case, the sooner youstart putting money away, thefaster the progress you will maketoward the retirement lifestyleyou’ve envisioned.

By Pastor Cornelius R. StamMen have given many gifts to each other down

through the ages, but in James 1:17 we read that“every good gift and every perfect gift is from above,”and comes to us from God. The greatest of thesegifts is our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and the re-demption He has purchased for us. In speaking to thesinner-woman at Sychar’s well, our Lord drew a pic-ture, contrasting the barrenness of her own life withthe refreshing joy of salvation, saying:

“If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is thatsaith to thee, Give Me to drink; thou wouldest haveasked of Him, and He would have given thee livingwater… Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirstagain, but whosoever drinketh of the water that I shallgive him shall never thirst…” (John 4:10-14).

By nature we are all sinners, but by the grace ofGod we all may be saved.

“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God iseternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord” (Rom.6:23).

“For by grace are ye saved, through faith, and thatnot of yourselves; it is the gift of God: not of works,lest any man should boast” (Eph. 2:8,9).

Thus St. Paul speaks of “the gift of the grace ofGod” (Eph. 3:7) and constantly emphasizes the factthat salvation is a free gift.

But a gift is not possessed until it is accepted. Thusthe Apostle, in Rom. 5:17, refers to those who “re-ceive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteous-ness.” Those who receive Christ and the salvation Hehas wrought for them, find it natural to exclaim withPaul-

“THANKS BE UNTO GOD FOR HIS UNSPEAK-ABLE GIFT!” (II Cor. 9:15).

Our own Wall Rodeo athletes didvery well at the 2012 Fall Extrav-aganza held in Rapid City on Sat-urday, October 20. As a whole Wall was well repre-sented. Wall Rodeo Club StateHigh School Rodeo Queen ElsieFortune competed as one of the topathletes in high school rodeo in thebreakaway roping event alongwith Mattee Pauley. Mattee wasleading the average with a 3.37until Elsie her teammate ropedher calf in a quick time of 2.68 totake first place. Carson Johnston wrestled hissteer in a time of 7.36. He had ex-

By Coach Kent Anderson The Wall Eagles Football Teamtraveled to Canistota for theirquarter-final play-off game onMonday, October 29th. Canistota had won 34 games ina row over the past three seasons.They were State 9B Championstwo years ago and the State 9AChampions last year. This yearwas not any different. The Eagleswent in to the game with optimismthat possibly we could end this 34game win streak. In the first quarter the Eagleswere playing a competitive game.Defensively we had some stopsand before you knew it they hit apass for a big touchdown and tookthe early 8 to 0 lead. The Eaglescame back and threatened offen-sively to put the ball in the end-zone. Off play-action the Eaglesthrew to the corner of the endzonein hopes to score. With an impres-sive play, the Canistota playerreached over the Wall receiver andintercepted the pass. It was apretty athletic play! This endedthe chance to match touchdownswith the Hawks. They took theball and moved it downfield fortheir second score of the game. Thefirst quarter of the game endedwith Canistota leading 14 to 0. The Hawks game seemed to in-tensify and the second quarter wascompletely dominated by Canis-tota. Every effort of the Eaglesseemed to go the wrong direction.Canistota was very opportunisticin turning the Eagles turnoversinto touchdowns. Before you couldblink, Canistota had put 50 pointson the board. Due to the State’s 50point rule, the game would be overat half. The Eagles came in to the gamethinking upset! This challenge tothe Hawks resulted in the sameoutcome as many of their previousgames. The coaching staff wasproud of how our team still com-peted even though the game wasnot going as planned. It’s not apretty way to end the season, butwe played hard and didn’t give up. The loss gave the Eagles a sea-son record of six wins and fourlosses. There were many greathighlights to the season. Thecoaching staff was impressed withhow we improved in many ways

80 years ago…Someone broke in the Farmers

Union Store in Quinn, some timeduring Thursday night or earlyFriday morning. The robbers man-aged to get away with quite a bit ofthe merchandise, but were evi-dently frightened away before fin-ishing the job, as some of the goodsthat was bundled up for removalwas left behind, giving evidencethat the prowlers left in a hurry.The thieves entered by breakingthe glass in a couple of doors at therear of the store.

An airplane with four passen-gers and pilot, going from SiouxFalls to Rapid City last week wasforced down on account of fog andsleet. It was impossible to pick outa landing place and the planelanded in John Guethlein’s cornfield. They were badly shaken inlanding but no one was hurt andno damage done to the plane. Thepassengers went on to Rapid Cityby automobile and the pilot re-mained with the plane and waitedfor decent weather to resume hisjourney.

The Wall Fire Departmentaverted what might have been avery serious fire Friday afternoonwhen they quickly extinguishedthe blaze which was eating its waythrough the side walls of Stran-dell’s Cottage just east of theircafe. The fire started from an over-heated stove, and when noted hadalready caught fire to the wood-work and the wardrobe containingtheir clothes. The fire squad ar-rived just as the blaze had pene-trated through to the outside.Water and chemicals quickly putan end to the grasping flames. Irasays their loss amounted tothecomplete destruction of all of theirclothes except what they werewearing, and that the watergreatly damaged all of their house-hold goods.

The Wall high school footballplayers lost to the Rapid City Re-serves to the tune of 27 to 0 on thelocal field, Saturday. This was thelast game of the season for thelocal boys.

Miss Florence Sorenson andStanley J. Teeters, both of Wall,were married at the Presbyterianmanse Saturday evening, Rev.Rew Walz officiating. The doublering ceremony was used. The cou-ple was attended by Tobe Kilianand Clara Lurz, also of Wall. Mr.and Mrs. Teeters will make theirhome at Wall.

70 years ago… Fire of unknown source burntthe barn and all its contents of hayand feed at the Irvin Paulsen’splace late Sunday afternoon. Thefamily were in the house whenthey noted the barn was blazing.The Wall fire department wascalled and a number from townwent along with the fire equip-ment, but there was very little thatcould be done. One horse was inthe barn and got singed, but other-wise it was uninjured. Isadore J. Stuntebeck, St. Cloud,Minn., was sentenced to a year inthe state penitentiary Tuesday byCircuit Judge A. R.

Looking forward to what's ahead,as we did last week when we talkedabout painting the vision is an im-portant part of the planningprocess. Likewise, looking backhelps us to recognize what hasbrought us to where we are. Todaywe will focus on the "current situa-tions" of the here and now whichgets us ready to set goals. (We'lltalk about goal-setting next week). It's always good to take an hon-

est survey of the various areas ofyour life-to recognize the areaswhere you are succeeding andthose areas where you may befalling short and needing to im-prove. Here's a quick way to get anhonest assessment in any one-orall-of the areas of your life. First, pick an area of your life

you want to work on. (How aboutwhat you have been working on thelast couple weeks after our talksabout purpose and vision?) Next,take a piece of paper and makethree columns. Label the first col-umn "The Good" and the secondone "The Bad" and the third one"The Ugly". Considering your current situa-

tion in that area of you life, startlisting under the appropriate col-umn, those things you feel are goodand right, what you think is not so

good, and the stuff that is down-right ugly. In order to really be successful

with this step you must be brutallyhonest with yourself. I know this isthe hard part for me. It can bequite painful when you are lookingat the decisions that you made thatwent belly up. I also know that thisis good medicine for me to take be-cause I really want to learn frommy mistakes so I can make betterdecisions in the future. I know thatthis is what you want too. Let me encourage you to con-

tinue with this process of planningyour Life Strategies. Planning willcertainly be challenging and takesome self-discipline. There is noquestion in my mind about how dif-ficult this process can be, and yet,planning can also be the most re-warding and result-producingthing you can do to live your life tothe fullest and maximize your per-sonal potential. The best advice I can give you as

you go through this step in theplanning process, is to have funwith it. Whatever you do, do not letit become a chore! Get those closeto you involved in the process andgather their input. Keep lookingforward! Do not let anyone stealyour dreams.

TheCity has a general lack of segregation ofduties, which is a fundamental concept ina good system of internal controls. Al-though the number of employees maylimit the ability to separate specific func-tions, proper monitoring of reconciliationsand other activities is critical in a small or-ganization.

We specifically noted a lack of review andapproval of reconciliations related to gen-eral journal entries, capital assets, pre-paid expenses, capital credit receivable,long-term debt, and accounts receivable(and related allowance and deferred rev-enue accounts). Although the City has im-plemented procedures to involve theChamber of Commerce Director in thecash receipts process, the finance office

will also collect cash at times. The financeofficer is also responsible for reconcilingbank accounts and other conflicting re-sponsibilities. This finding has been re-ported in the three previous audits.

Recommendation:

Management of the City should con-stantly be aware of this condition and re-alize that the concentration of duties andresponsibilities in a limited number of in-dividuals is not desirable from a controlperspective. Under these conditions, themost effective controls lie in manage-ment’s knowledge of matters relating tothe operations of the City. We specificallyrecommend all reconciliations and sub-sidiary ledgers related to capital assets,investments, long-term debt, receivablesand the related deferred revenue andother significant balance sheet accountsbe reviewed by someone other than theperson primarily responsible for perform-ing the reconciliations or maintaining thesubsidiary ledger to ensure accuracy andagreement with the general ledger. Thereview should be documented by initialingthe reconciliations and/or other support-ing documentation. In addition, wheneverpossible, the individual responsible forposting cash receipts and reconcilingcash accounts should refrain from han-dling cash. Segregating duties may beaccomplished by hiring an additional part-time employee to perform the reconcilia-tions and posting cash receipts, whichmay be reviewed and approved by theCity Finance Officer. If the City does nothave adequate staff resources, or an in-dividual internally that possesses theproper accounting knowledge, we recom-mend that the City engage a third party toperform annual surprise audits related tothe cycles described above.

Management’s Response:

Management agrees with the finding andrelated recommendations. The City hasbegun having the chamber director main-tain a mail log of cash receipts and com-paring the mail log to the deposit slip pre-pared by the City Finance Officer and thedeposit receipt from the bank. The Mayorreviews the bank reconciliation which in-cludes the money receipts, the moneytransfers from the money market accountto the checking account and the journalentries made in the money market ac-counts. He also reviews any adjustmentsmade in the utility billing and any journalentries made to correct errors to fund ac-counts. All documents are initialed by theperson reviewing them.

Finding:

As auditors, we were requested to draftthe financial statements and accompany-ing notes to the financial statements. Es-tablishing internal controls over thepreparation of the financial statements,and drafting the financial statements isthe responsibility of management. Thisfinding has been reported in the threeprevious audits.

Recommendation:

It is the responsibility of management andthose charged with governance to makethe decision whether to accept the degreeof risk associated with this condition be-cause of cost or other considerations. Ifmanagement is unwilling to accept risksassociated with this condition, we recom-mend that management develop a sys-tem of internal controls to ensure properreporting of the financial statements andnotes to the financial statements. Trainingshould also be provided to the individualresponsible for the accounting function tohelp prevent or reduce the likelihood ofaccounting errors. Management couldalso engage a separate accounting firmto assist in the preparation of the annualfinancial statements.


Management will continue to work on de-veloping a system of internal controls toensure proper reporting of the financialstatements. Management believes be-cause there is a single person that is re-sponsible for all the duties in the officemore time is needed to achieve this goal.

Finding:

During our review of statutory compliancewe noted that the City over-expended thebudgeted appropriations for the PublicWorks Department in the General Fund.According to SDCL 9-21-9, expendituresare limited to the amount appropriated forsuch purposes in the annual appropria-tion ordinance.

Recommendation:

We recommend that the City continue toevaluate compliance with the budget priorto year-end and make budget amend-ments considered necessary, as done inprior years. City Council should continueto review budget to actual reports eachmonth to determine if supplemental ap-propriations are necessary. Year-end ac-crual adjustments should be taken intoconsideration when City Council reviewsthe budget reports in December of eachyear.


The City will keep more money in thebudget for a cushion for this purposeand/or to restrict any spending unless it isan emergency after the 15th of Decemberto try and alleviate the problem.

Finding:

During our review of expenditures, wenoted improprieties within the cash dis-bursement cycle that were in noncompli-ance with state statutes and City policy.According to SDCL 9-23-1, itemized in-voices are required to accompany avoucher of payment and filed in the officeof the municipal finance officer. Accord-ingly, the City implements the use of pur-chase orders prior to payment for goodsand services. We noted instances ofmissing invoices that were not properlyfiled. Additionally, several purchase or-ders were not properly completed prior topayment when required by City policy.

Recommendation:

We recommend that the City continue tomonitor departmental expenditures andcommunicate the importance of statutorycompliance and City policy to responsibleofficials.


The City will keep more money in thebudget for a cushion for this purposeand/or to restrict any spending unless it isan emergency after the 15th of Decemberto try and alleviate the problem.

FOCUS ON THE FAMILYwith Dr. JamesDobson

Dr. Dobson Answersyour Questions

QUESTION: How should I respondto my spouse’s verbal and emotionalabuse? This has been a problem for thegreater part of our marriage. I havenever been physically harmed in anyway, but the constant put-downs andmind games have made my life miser-able. Some of my friends say I shouldpursue a divorce, but others have sug-gested that I don’t have biblicalgrounds. A few folks in this secondgroup have even told me that my onlyconcern is to “submit” and continue lov-ing my spouse in spite of the mistreat-ment. What do you think I should I do? ANSWER: There are two things youneed to understand about your situa-tion. First, it’s more common than youmay suspect. There’s a surprisingamount of emotional and verbal abusegoing on behind closed doors, even inChristian marriages. This suggests: 1)that you’re not alone; and 2) that manypeople have devoted a great deal oftime, thought, and energy to coming upwith solutions. Among them are some ofour most gifted and highly qualifiedmarriage therapists and counselors. Inother words, answers are available ifyou’ll take the time and trouble to lookfor them. The second point is this: the state ofaffairs you’ve described isn’t good for ei-ther of you—not you or your spouse. It’sharmful and destructive to everyoneconcerned. That includes any childrenwho may be part of the picture. Thismeans that something must be done tochange it as quickly as possible. We canalmost guarantee that the change won’tcome about as a result of adopting a“submissive” attitude toward abuse. In connection with this last thought,we’ve observed that there are generallytwo kinds of people who advise “submis-sion” in cases like this: 1) a few malepastors, counselors, and friends whotake a simplistic view of passages likeEphesians 5:22-33 and Colossians 3:18-25; and 2) abusive husbands. Our re-sponse, especially to the latter group, isthat it isn’t up to a man to see to it thathis wife “submits.” The apostle hasgiven tasks to each partner in the rela-tionship. Each partner is responsibleonly for his or her own assignment. Toput it bluntly, men need to forget about“submission.” Their job is to learn whatit means to love their spouses “as Christloved the church.” So much for theology. Let’s move onto something more practical. What canyou do to take your marriage in a morepositive direction? We suggest you beginby investigating your options. All toooften people in your position assumethat they have only two alternatives: tostay put and suffer, or file for divorce.This isn’t necessarily true. As a matterof fact, there may be a number of otherways to break the negative cycle. You can find out more by setting upan appointment with a Christian mar-riage and family counselor. Naturally, itwould be ideal if your spouse agreed tojoin you. You should definitely urge him

to do so if at all possible. But if you en-counter opposition, don’t hesitate tokeep the appointment alone. If thethought of professional counseling is toooverwhelming, consider talking to apastor or a good friend. You might alsoget a neighbor to take you to a commu-nity center where there are peopletrained to deal with domestic abuse is-sues. The idea is to find out what youcan do, not what you can’t do, and to actaccordingly. In the meantime, you may want tohave a conversation with an attorney—not to talk about divorce, but simply togather information about your options.Among other things, find out what’s in-volved in arranging a legal separation.In many cases, a temporary separationis exactly what’s needed in a situationlike yours. Marriages get stuck indeadly ruts when spouses become blindto the hurtful nature of their words andactions. If separation is what it takes toopen your husband’s eyes and stimulatesome self-examination on his part, thenso be it. An abuser can sometimes bepersuaded to make a change if his part-ner has the courage to bring about a cri-sis in the relationship—in other words,to say, “I’ve had enough.” Before closing, perhaps it would behelpful to say a few words about the un-derlying causes of abuse and list someof the identifying marks of genuinely“abusive” speech and behavior. Domes-tic abuse is almost always a techniquefor gaining and maintaining control. Anemotional abuser keeps others underhis thumb by blaming and shaming. Heuses name-calling, swearing, and otherforms of contemptuous speech to con-vince his partner that she is unworthyof better treatment. In most cases he ishighly manipulative, displays narcissis-tic tendencies, and flatly refuses to ac-knowledge any personal responsibilityfor difficulties in the marriage. If any ofthis sounds familiar, you are more thanjustified in taking whatever steps arenecessary to reverse the situation. Agood counselor can help you recognize towhat extent you may have becomebrainwashed by your spouse’s behaviorand thus lulled into a state of resigna-tion and silent acceptance of your lot. QUESTION: I just lost my job, andwithout my income I can't see how myspouse and I are going to make endsmeet. How am I going to break this ter-rible news? What will we do if I can'tfind another job? Can you help usweather this storm? ANSWER: It's important to begin bylooking at the implications of your situ-ation squarely in the face. Don't beblindsided or caught off-guard — under-stand that unemployment will impact

your emotional and mental well-beingin a very real way. It can also be a for-midable challenge to the health of yourmarriage. If you realize this, you'll knowwhere the stress is coming from, andyou'll be less likely to take out your frus-trations on your spouse or other mem-bers of the family. There are good reasons for the stress,of course. Job loss can be a serious blowto an individual's sense of identity. Thisis especially true for husbands, sincemany men define themselves in termsof their work. That's not to mentionthat, in some cases, their earnings arethe family's primary source of income(even when this isn't true, a man stilltends to perceive his own worth interms of his ability to function as abreadwinner). Without that income,running out of money becomes a veryreal possibility, since many coupleshaven't saved enough to get themthrough a prolonged period of unem-ployment. All this weighs heavily onboth partners, especially the one whofeels most responsible to "bring homethe bacon." So what should you do when unem-ployment hits your household and rat-tles your marriage? We have severalsuggestions. First, if you've been providing foryour family but have lost your job, doeverything you can to jump right backinto the job market. Don't wait anddon't delay. Try to find a position youcan get enthused about, but if that's notavailable take anything that will pro-vide your family with a living wage. Youcan work on longer-term career goals onthe side. Second, though moving away fromyour support system may sound scary,don't rule out the possibility of relocat-ing. Here again, the principle is to behumble, diligent and disciplined enoughto take whatever you can get untilsomething better presents itself. If youhave to move, you can look at it as afresh start and as an opportunity for thetwo of you to nurture your couple rela-tionship away from the demands of fam-ily and friends. Third, be flexible about the "bread-winner" role. Sometimes a wife mayhave greater earning potential than herhusband — this is just a fact of theworld we live in. If she's taken a part-time job in order to care for her children,that arrangement may need to be re-evaluated. At least for the time being,dad may need to be willing to play "Mr.Mom" while his wife takes on the taskof supporting the family in a full-timeposition. Fourth, look for ways to cut expenses.Identify habits that can be changed andplans and activities that can be put onhold. Do without restaurant lunches.Avoid buying new clothes for sixmonths. Turn down the heat and wearmore sweaters. Shop at thrift stores oryard sales. In all of this, take pains to maintainyour marriage and keep your relation-ship on a sound footing. Go out of yourway to have fun and keep things lightas much as possible - it's crucial to keepup your morale while waiting for cir-cumstances to improve. If your spouseloses his or her job, avoid the tempta-tion to ask a million questions or delivera lecture about family responsibility.Support your mate in this crisis by help-ing with the job search and expressingyour willingness to cut costs. A cheerful,positive attitude will go a long way in asituation like this.

Feeding wild birds is one of themost popular outdoor activities inthe U.S., with widespread andevenly-distributed fans among allage groups. Nearly 45% of SouthDakotans watch wildlife aroundtheir homes, which can includefeeding, observing, and photo-graphing wildlife. You don’t need alicense or any special skills to enjoyfeeding or watching wildlife – justan interest and a commitment todoing it right.

If you choose to partake in thisfun and fulfilling activity, keep afew things in mind. Place feederswhere you can watch, enjoy, andphotograph feeding visitors. Ifbothered by squirrels at feeders,place your feeder on a pole awayfrom trees. Place feeders near coverto protect feeding birds fromweather and predators, such asfree-roaming cats. Move feeders ifyou notice birds striking windows.Some birds, such as sparrows, jun-cos, doves, and pheasants, feed onthe ground or on a flat platform.Offer several feeding sites to avoidovercrowding and disease trans-mission.

If you’re only offering one menuitem, black oil sunflower seed ap-peals to many birds. Ground-feed-ing birds may prefer corn, milo ormillet to sunflower seed. Pinesiskins, goldfinches and redpollsprefer niger seed (also called finchor thistle seed), which you can offerin feeders designed for this seed.Suet or peanut butter may attractwoodpeckers, chickadees,nuthatches and brown creepers.Offer year-round water by adding abird bath heater. Avoid offeringhuman “table scraps,” which mayattract rodents or raccoons.

Remember to keep feeders andfeeding areas clean by regularlyraking up seed hulls and cleaningfeeders by scrubbing with soapywater and rinsing in water dilutedwith a small amount of bleach.Store seed in tight, waterproof con-tainers to prevent mold and to dis-courage rodents that may be at-tracted to accessible seed. Once youbegin feeding, try to continuethrough the winter, but don’t worryabout missing a few days, sincefeeding birds typically visit otherfeeding stations besides yours. Ifyou notice sick or diseased birds,disinfect your feeders and stopfeeding for 10-14 days to avoid fur-ther spreading diseases.

If you’re just beginning to learnto identify birds at your feeders,Game, Fish and Parks offers a freepublication that can help. Request“Backyard Birds of South Dakota”at this website: http://gfp.sd.gov/wildlife/critters/birds/default.aspx
