High school football games
under Friday night lights and bas-
ketball gyms jam-packed with fans
are as much a part of South
Dakota as coffee-shop talk about
the weather and crops. High school
sports and other interscholastic ac-
tivities such as drama and music
events fuel intense civic pride in
our communities and schools.
The feats and accomplishments
of students on the field of competi-
tion or the performance stage are
celebrated by an entire community
of family, friends and school fans.
The hometown newspaper is
there as well, chronicling the
games and school activities. Cover-
ing local school sports and school
activities such as plays and con-
certs are a big part of what goes
into the local newspaper. The com-
munity expects it and a good news-
paper meets that expectation.

Philip, a one-third partner of the
continuing Stronger Economies To-
gether project, hosted the Wednes-
day, January 9, multi-community
session.
The first meeting, in December,
was held in Kadoka. The third
meeting, in February, will be held
in Wall. Attendees are still con-
tributing toward a growing kitty of
possible names for this specific
SET region. Made up of Haakon
County, Jackson County and the
eastern portion of Pennington
County, the economic partnership
could vote to be called the Bad-
lands/Bad River Region, Western
Plains Region, Central Plains Con-
nection, Old West Region or some
other name that was in the sugges-
tion jar.
This two-year federal program is
currently in its third round. The

The Wall School Board has been
selected the 2013 ASBSD School
Board Award of Excellence recipi-
ent for providing the leadership
necessary to improve achievement
for all students and exemplifying
the traits of an effective school
board.
Wall School Board was chosen
by an independent, four-person
panel and will receive a recogni-
tion plaque and a $1,000 cash
award, which was generously pro-
vided by BankWest.
Its been a total team effort by
the Wall School Board to achieve
the goals theyve set for the school
district, ASBSD Executive Direc-
tor Wade Pogany said. The award
is affirmation of their efforts to
meet those goals.
To be considered for the award,
school boards must provide data
and evidence that board actions
led to improved student achieve-
ment. Applicants were also asked
to detail how the school board em-
bodied five widely- recognized and
research-based traits of an effec-
tive school board: setting clear ex-
pectations, creating the conditions
for success, holding the system ac-
countable, building public support
and learning as a board team.
Wall School Board developed a
vision of a district of innovation
and inspiration striving for aca-
demic excellence.
As part of the vision, the board
has focused on continued support
of technology by putting a laptop
computer in the hands of each stu-
dent in the 6-12 grades, provided a
monthly magazine for parents and
community members detailing
classroom projects and continued
to develop as a board through
Wall School Board honored
with Award of Excellence
training.
The boards work has resulted in
a variety of distinguished awards,
including being recognized by the
South Dakota Department of Edu-
cation as an Exemplary Elemen-
tary and High School and as a Na-
tional Blue Ribbon School by the
United States Department of Edu-
cation.
Pogany said the Wall School
Boards progressive thinking has
produced great results and their
achievements should be shared
with the community.
The effort of the school board
can clearly be seen in the recogni-
tion their schools have received,
Pogany said.
Everyones hard work, from
school board members to students
to community members, should be
celebrated with this award.
The announcement of the award
comes one week before the start of
South Dakota School Board Recog-
nition Week, an annual event
highlighting the contributions of
locally elected school leaders. The
board will be recognized in August,
at the associations annual conven-
tion.
ASBSD is a private, non-profit
association representing more
than 880 South Dakota school
board members, the 150 school dis-
tricts they govern and the students
they serve. Our mission is to ad-
vance public education by empow-
ering local school board leaders
and advocating for a thriving pub-
lic education system.
creation of an economic plan for a
given region. The second year is for
the fun work of putting that plan
into action.
After a supper social provided by
the Philip Chamber of Commerce,
the attendees of this session fo-
cused on three main topics. The
first point discussed was the cur-
rent demographics of this region,
not only what they look like today
but what they are projected to look
like in the future. It was stressed
by speaker Dr. David Olson, com-
munity development program di-
rector, and video-taped Dr. Michael
McCurry, state demographer, that
projections, even from the Census
Bureau and other fact-based
sources, can change. Haakon
County has been losing population
for years. Currently, over 20 per-
cent of its population is over 65
years of age. Communicable dis-
eases, such as whooping cough and
others, have been diminishing,
while degenerative diseases, such
as cancer and those associated
with old age, have been increasing.
In Haakon County, the average in-
come has increased, yet the num-
ber of people considered under the
poverty line has also increased.
Things can change.
The second main topic was an
attempt to determine what makes
a strong region, particularly this
region. Differences between the
Philip, Kadoka and Wall communi-
ties are numerous. The similarities
can be used to strengthen their
partnership.
The third main topic was an ex-
amination of existing economic de-
velopment plans in the region. One
of these was a new idea promoted
by residents from the Kadoka
area. Several plans were revisited
plans from Horizons meetings held
in the individual communities
from previous years.
Kari ONeil, community develop-
ment field specialist, stated that
the kickoff session produced some
great thoughts on how this region
can gain a competitive advantage
by working together, pooling re-
sources and building relationships.
As the sessions move forward, at-
tendees are to invite those diverse
and committed people they know
who would be assets to this group.
The only real requirement is an
openness to this process and a pas-
sion for this region.
The Philip session discussed the
Creation, Attraction, Retention,
Expansion model. Communities
can grow from the creation of new
businesses, from the attraction of
new industry or businesses, from
the retention and strengthening of
existing businesses, and from the
expansion of existing firms in the
region.

Discussion Meet at the American
Farm Bureau Federation annual
By Kindra Gordon
More than 6,000 Farm Bureau
members from across the country
gathered in Nashville for the
American Farm Bureau Federa-
tions 94th Annual Meeting held
Jan. 13-16.
In the opening session address,
AFBF President Bob Stallman, a
farmer from Texas, noted the
meetings theme Many Voices,
One Vision, saying, While there
is much diversity in agriculture,
its important to sing from the
same songbook.
Stallman noted that American
agriculture faced the challenge of
drought in 2012, but scored major
policy victories, including perma-
nent estate and capital gains tax
changes.
Regarding the Farm Bill, he
stated, What Congress did on the
Farm Bill is not perfect, but at
least it gives us certainty for
2013. Stallman also noted that
with needed reform in key areas

Bill bolsters news media's ability
to cover high school sports
Technology today has allowed
newspapers to expand the tools
they use to cover high school
sports and events. Newspapers are
going beyond the traditional sto-
ries and photos printed in the
paper to innovations such as
broadcasting football or basketball
games over the internet and up-
dating readers through social
media tools. Readers have come to
expect that type of expanded cov-
erage and newspapers of all sizes
in South Dakota are delivering on
those expectations.
All good, right? Yes, except that
some schools are now putting re-
strictions and limitations on how
the local news media can cover
their school sporting events and
activities.
In Pierre, an exclusive contract
between the school and a local
radio station prohibits a competing
local radio station or the local
newspaper from broadcasting
Pierre school athletic events. How-
AFBF holds 94th Annual meeting in Nashville
such as fiscal, environmental and
labor policy hanging in the bal-
ance, agricultural unity will be es-
sential in 2013.
Stallman added that it is time
for Americas elected leaders to put
political differences aside for the
good of the nation.
Regarding the issue of agricul-
tural labor, Stallman said farmers
need a workforce that is legal, sta-
ble and reliable. He stated, For
too long, we have dealt with the
shortcomings of a broken farm
labor systemThe results have
been labor shortages, lost crops
and bureaucratic nightmares. Our
nations leaders cant continue to
avoid this issue. We need solu-
tions.
Stallman said Farm Bureau,
working in conjunction with the
Agriculture Workforce Coalition,
will this year offer a reasonable,
practical and common-sense farm
labor option that works for grow-
ever, the restrictions don't apply to
any out-of-town news media out-
lets.
In Sioux Falls, the public school
district sought to specifically pro-
hibit the local newspaper from
broadcasting high school football
and basketball games on the inter-
net.
Elsewhere, newspaper photogra-
phers are being unreasonably re-
stricted on how they can cover
high school competitions. Re-
porters are limited on how they
can use social media such as Twit-
ter and Facebook to report live
from a high school game.
Schools offer a variety of reasons
for these restrictions. Mostly, it
boils down to money. Schools look-
ing to make additional revenue
from the performances of students
on the field by placing restrictions
on how the local news media may
cover these events.
Incredible as it may sound, there
is a real trend toward more mone-
tization of high school sports.
That is why we are working for
passage of a bill in this legislative
session that would prohibit schools
from unreasonably restricting the
ability of local news media to do
their job. Senate Bill 119 would not
prohibit schools from generating
revenue through certain contracts
with media, so long as those con-
tracts do not restrict other media
from being able to do their job.
SB119 is not about creating any
special or new privilege for news
media in South Dakota. It only
tries to ensure the news media in
South Dakota can do what they
have always done when it comes to
reporting about high school sports
and activities.
Fans and supporters of high
school sports and activities expect
the local news media to be there,
creating a chronology and scrap-
book of memories and achieve-
ments through their stories, pho-
tos and other media.
Urge your legislators to support
Senate Bill 119. Let's make sure
the hometown news media can
continue to do their job and live up
to the expectations of their readers
and viewers. Nothing more, noth-
ing less.
ers and workers alike.
During his remarks, Stallman
also praised farmers and ranchers
for their innovation and productiv-
ity, sufficient to meet the diverse
and growing food demands of
todays consumers. Consumer
tastes are all over the map, and
they continue to change, he said.
He noted that agriculture must
continue to address consumers
concerns. He encouraged Farm
Bureau members to tell their per-
sonal stories about how they are
using fewer resources to grow
crops and produce meat, milk and
eggs.
Consumers really listen when
we talk about our desire to contin-
ually improve sustainability, qual-
ity and safety on our farms, he
said. We must open our doors
and maybe more importantly, open
our mindsto consumers and
their perspectives about food and
agriculture.

Its still very quiet but many of

cleared committee yet.
I voted no on the floor on HB
1079 which included a fee in-
crease, however, it did pass.
I was sorry to see that HB 1010,
constitutional carry, failed in com-
mittee by one vote. We need that to
come to the floor where I think it
has a chance of passing.
Although I am a supporter of
open government I did vote
against two of the Governors task
force bills.
HB1109 that would have re-
leased booking photos to the
media. Because I believe in the
presumption of innocence, at the
time of booking, you are not con-
victed of any crime.
HB 1111 would have repealed
the five year sealing of pardon
records. If a person is given a sec-
ond chance I feel they deserve
some time to turn their lives
around.
I flew to Hot Springs with the
Governor, Secretary of Veterans
affairs and Senator Rampelberg to
meet with the save the V.A. com-

They have a solid presentation
that should get our point across in
a very positive way. We also toured

Again very positive. Please keep

The winter months have
brought little relief to the devas-
tating drought in the state of
South Dakota. Ranchers are faced
with another challenging year.
In an effort to make prepara-
tions for the possibility of contin-
ued drought in 2013, SDSU Exten-
sion is working to provide cattle
producers with needed tools to
cope with the issues associated
with the drought, says Kalyn Wa-
ters, SDSU Extension Cow/Calf
Field Specialist.
"Management and preparedness
is what it will take to make it
through another year if the
drought continues," Waters said.
It is the goal of Waters and other
SDSU Extension Livestock staff to
help producers be as prepared as
possible to make critical manage-
ment decisions if the drought con-
tinues to progress through 2013.
As part of their plan to help South
Dakota livestock producers, SDSU
Extension has partnered with Uni-
versity of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL)
Extension to host a five-part webi-
nar series with the focus of helping
ranchers across the state prepare
for the possibility of the drought
continuing in 2013. This series of
meetings is titled "Managing
Drought Risk on the Ranch."
"UNL Extension and the
Drought Mitigation Center have
done an outstanding job putting
together this program. They have
slated some of the best speakers
available to provide critical infor-
mation to producers. Attending
these meetings will provide ranch-
ers with the tools they need to set
critical trigger dates, and begin to
develop a long term management
plan," Waters said.
She adds that these meetings
are also intended to educate pro-
fessionals and consultants who
work with ranchers as a profes-
sional development series.
The webinars will be presented
the last Wednesday of each month
beginning January 30, and con-
cluding in May. One hour webinars
will begin at 9:00 a.m. MST or
10:00 a.m. CST at the SDSU Ex-
tension Regional Centers.
Each session will include cur-
rent drought updates, forecasts
and presentations about specific
information or tools.
Following each webinar, the re-
Drought Risk on the Ranch
gional centers will join together
via video conference for a question
and answer session where SDSU
Extension State and Field Special-
ists will provide additional infor-
mation relevant to South Dakota
producers.
Topics each month will consider
drought planning information and
tools available to producers. In ad-
dition to University and Extension
presenters, a number of ranchers
will also be featured. These ranch-
ers will describe the development
and execution of their drought
management plans.
The topic of the January 30, we-
binar is Managing Drought Risk
on the Ranch: The Planning
Process. The keynote speaker of
the meeting will be Jerry Volesky,
UNL Range and Forage Specialist
at the West Central Research and
Extension Center.
Drought Risk on the Ranch is a
program that has been put to-
gether by range professionals and
ranchers with instruction for de-
veloping individualized plans that
includes ways ranchers can better
prepare for and respond to
drought. The first webinar will
provide an overview of the differ-
ent steps in putting together that
drought plan," said Voleksy.
Scheduled dates and topics for
the series include:
January 30: Managing
Drought Risk on the Ranch: The
Planning Process.
February 27: Avoiding Analysis
Paralysis: Monitoring and Setting
Critical Dates for Decision Making
During Drought
March 27: The New Cumula-
tive Forage Reduction (CFR)
Index: Assessing Drought Impacts
and Planning a Grazing Strategy
April 24: Using a Drought Cal-
culator to Assist Stocking Deci-
sions
May 29: Economic Factors to
Weigh in Making Decisions during
Drought meetings are sponsored
by the National Drought Mitiga-
tion Center at the University of
Nebraska-Lincoln.
The series was developed with
support from the Sustainable Agri-
culture Research and Education
(SARE) program, which is funded
by the U.S. Department of Agricul-
ture - National Institute of Food
and Agriculture (USDA-NIFA).

It may be a crime to speed in
South Dakota, but it hasnt been
adding penalty points to a drivers
record for the past 20-some years.
Action by the House Transporta-
tion Committee Jan. 22 during the
Speeding penalty bill pulled over in House committee
S.D. Legislature ensures that
practice will continue for the fore-
seeable future.
Rep. Steve Hickey, Sioux Falls
Republican, was trying again this
year to add speeding back into the
points system as it was prior to
1986. He called it a kinder, gen-
tler version of last years bill that
also had been defeated.
Every other moving violation
has points that are applied to a
drivers record. However, the joke,
he said, about speeding is that mo-
torists can drive as fast as you can
afford.
The purpose, Hickey said, was
not to suspend licenses, but to
slow people down. Fines, he said,
have not done that. The bill would
only affect a small fraction of the
states drivers, he said.
Speeding is no laughing mat-
ter, said Sen. Craig Tieszen,
Rapid City Republican, adding,
speed is the leading cause of acci-
dents in this state.
It is ironic, he said, that you
can get a point for driving too slow,
but not for driving too fast.
While the Department of Public
Safety had indicated to Hickey
that they did not oppose the bill,
some members thought it odd that
the DOT was not testifying for the
bill.
Rep. Manny Steele, R-Sioux
Falls, said he originally had signed
on the bill as a sponsor, but was
changing his mind and voting
against it, saying it was a bill
aimed at a few hundred people
who are abusive. He called it
overkill, citing the effort to keep
track of the records.
The committee voted to kill the
bill, 9-4, by moving it to the ses-
sions 41st day.

After a study that started this
past summer, the Criminal Justice
Initiative (SB 70) was released to
Legislators on the first day of the
Legislative Session three weeks
ago. SB 70 consists of over thirty
pages and more than eighty sec-
tions.
The Senate passed it last week
on a 32-2 vote with little debate,
and our states major newspapers
seem satisfied with simply print-
ing press releases from propo-
nents.
As a former States Attorney, I
have serious concerns about the
entire bill, including its very prem-
ise. The media has regurgitated
press releases that our state incar-
cerates more people per capita
than most of our surrounding
states.
Four of our surrounding states
are ranked in the bottom eleven
nationally in their rates of incar-
ceration, with Minnesota ranked
49th.
Other statistics you likely
havent heard from proponents of
SB 70 are:
South Dakotas per capita in-
carceration rate has consistently
hovered below or around the na-
tional average.
North Dakota has been ranked
last in per capita murders, while
South Dakota has been nearer the
average.
South Dakota has been ranked
third in the number of rapes per
capita.
North Dakota, Wyoming and
Montana are considered safer
states than South Dakota accord-
ing to 2010 CQ Press annual State
Crime Rankings.
The belief that our state dispro-
portionately incarcerates more
people, and therefore, is somehow
unfair to convicted felons is unfor-
tunate as we consider one of the
most radical changes to our states
criminal justice system in decades.
The premise of SB 70 takes me
back to Governor Daugaards re-
cently failed education reform bill,
which was passed by the Legisla-
ture and overridden by a vote of
the people.
Much like that legislation, SB
70 contains many disjointed sec-
tions designed to appease different
special interests to gain support.
First, SB 70 eliminates prelimi-
nary hearings for class one misde-
meanors. As a former prosecutor,
the preliminary hearing provides a
valuable prosecutorial judgment
tool for settling cases.
Once the defendant, their attor-
ney and the prosecutor hear the
witnesses in front of a judge, the
defendant has the option of plead-
ing guilty or not, and the prosecu-
Week in Review
By District 30
Representative Lance Russell
tor can choose to offer an appropri-
ate plea agreement to settle the
case. The elimination of the pre-
liminary hearing, I believe, will re-
duce judicial efficiency.
Second, SB 70 cuts in half many
of current maximum sentences for
certain crimes.
From my prosecutorial experi-
ence, seemingly non-violent
crimes, such as drug and alcohol
offenses, are typically interspersed
with other crimes, like thefts and
assaults.
Many times, these victims, who
are friends and family of the of-
fender, are reluctant to prosecute
and/or cooperate. Therefore, the
non-violent offenses can typically
be the crime upon which offenders
are convicted.
Third, in SB 70 the Legislature
delegates its authority to set sanc-
tions without knowing what the
sanctions are going to be.
The legislation contemplates
fixed sanctions that are of short
durations. The judge may deviate
from the tiered system to increase
the sentence up to the maximum
for the protection of the public by
making findings and conclusions
to justify the deviation.
I believe the Legislature should
not abdicate its Constitutional re-
sponsibility to set the range of sen-
tences and/or sanctions for con-
victed felons in South Dakota.
Fourth, SD 70 requires initial,
up-front cost of over eight million
dollars over the next two years in
additional personnel to supervise
all of the offenders who would nor-
mally be sent to prison.
Many local jails are currently at
capacity. Therefore, additional
jail space will most likely be
needed to be built, mostly at the
expense of property taxpayers.
I believe this proposal will result
in a significant cost shift onto local
governments. I believe it is almost
impossible to measure the poten-
tial costs of additional crimes that
could be perpetrated in communi-
ties, even with the additional su-
pervision provided for in the legis-
lation.
South Dakotans should be con-
cerned about SB 70. South
Dakotans should also be concerned
about efforts to decriminalize drug
offenses.
A judges sentencing discretion
should not be limited. A dramatic
change from our current judicial
system requires a meaningful de-
bate to evaluate the consequences
this legislation will have on the cit-
izens of South Dakota.
Please take the time to educate
yourselves and make contact with
your State Representatives.

Glad to see Kay Leonard out and
about again. She had been under
the weather but was thoughtful of
others and was a recluse until all
was better.
The One Act Play with Walls
actors was at the Power House on
Sunday, the 27th. Philips drama
group had their performance first
Discovering Rogue. Both
groups performed later that same
day at Philip. Philip and Wall are
both going to the Brandon Valley
Performing Arts Center the end of
this week to compete at the State
level. Good luck to both schools.
Birthday cake was served after
Sunday services at the Methodist
Church to acknowledge Dale
Keysers 94th birthday. Actual
date is February 1st. Even getting
up in years, Dale likes to visit.
Congratulations to him.
Virginia Poste of Casper, called
last week from Rapid City where
she was staying with her sister
Shirley Tennyson. Their sister,
Marilyn Madsen, is in Hospice
Care at Ft. Meade, so Virginia had
come to see her also.
Lyle and Viola Williams took
Loy Hamm to Sturgis on January
22 so they could attend the funeral
of Delores ODea Hercher.
Jess Williams came home on
Saturday from Sioux Falls, where
he attends the University. He has
the week off for semester break
and will go back on Sunday, Febru-
ary 3rd.
The Black Hills Stock Show is
on will be through Saturday,
February 2nd. Is this what
brought our snow on Monday and
Tuesday?
Carl Harnisch, 95, of Kingman,
Ariz., passed away last week fu-
neral services will be on February
9th at Kingman. Her was married
to Audrey Pederson, who is also
deceased. Both had been from the
Wall area. They had four sons. Our
condolences go out to the family.
Michelle Lamphere and Frances
Poste took a flight to Mesa, Ariz.,
on Friday to spend the weekend
with Rick and Tracy Seutter at
Scottsdale. Barry and Terry Poste
of Littleton, were in the Scotts-
dale/Phoenix area for the weekend
also a mini family reunion.
Would you believe that desert had
rain every day we were there and
also raining when we went to the
airport on Monday. At the Seut-
ters they had more than four
inches so things will green up al-
most overnight.
Mavrick Williams was baptized
Sunday at the Methodist Church
in Wasta. He had many family and
friends attending. His parents,
Jamie and Ray, hosted a brunch
following at their home.
We are back to winter again!
Our snow probably wont last long
as forecast is for warmer days to
come.
Have a good week!

Just a note from the Wastan
wandering in southern Florida.
The weather here has been warm
and pleasant. Not yet so warm and
humid as sometimes. Yesterday,
Tuesday, the 22nd, the news
showed wide spread blizzard con-
ditions across most of the northern
states east to west. By the time I
get this off to you that will have
changed or perhaps, in South
Dakota, by tomorrow!
It is amazing how the days are
full and time goes by rather
quickly. A few helpful tasks around
the house, a dog walk or two, a sit
in the back yard and the girls are
home from school! Then the fun be-
gins.
Olivia is 16 and a junior in high
school She swims with the high
school team and their season ends
before Christmas. She has been for
six or seven years now, has enjoyed
it and has done very well. This
past season was an extremely good
year for Olivia, though she did
have some physical problems that
caused great pain in her hip when
swimming. In spite of that and the
small school swim team, volunteer
coaches and borrowed pool, her
team went through the qualifying
rounds and all the way to state to
compete. The team did well and
Olivia came through with a per-
sonal time that put her as #11
competitive swimmer in the State.
Well done, Olivia!
Sofias ports interest is still in
soccer and last weekend we all
traveled to Naples, Florida, a
smallish town (though is a relative
description as they dont really
know small towns) to the north of
Miami just over 100 miles. We
drove up on a Friday, early evening
and found our motel and other
teammates and their parents. Sat-
urday morning was a perfect soc-
cer day a little cooler, cloudy
and armed with water bottles,
comfy chairs, jackets and umbrel-
las (just in case) off we went a soc-
cering! Thirteen little girls played
their hearts out for an hour. The
score was tie zero to zero I
was pleased. It was a good game.
The afternoon the opposing team
was heard to be really good. Our
girls, team name the Storm took
the field. Another hour of determi-
nation, skill and teamwork and
playing their hearts out brought
victory!It was pleased. It was a
good game.
One more to go Sunday morn-
ing. Probably there were as many
prayers as fervently said as in the
churches surrounding the soccer
field.
Same comfy chairs, water bot-
tles, jackets and umbrellas. Greet-
ings to other parents. Thirteen lit-
tle girls played their hearts out for
an hour. An hour of determination,
skill and teamwork and playing
their hearts out brought victory
but not to the Storm. Two scores
in the last five minutes granted
victory to the opposers and loss to
us. They played a great game, our
little girls. I was pleased. It was a
good game.
We consoled as best we could,
but such is the stress of life and
maybe there is a good lesson amid
the thrill of one minute and the
disappointment of the next.
Well, next time we visit you
can maybe hear about the dog.
Happy Trails!

Groundhog Day is almost here.
For most of its history which,
according to some reports, dates
back to the first celebration in
1886 or 1887 in Punxsutawney, Pa.
Groundhog Day held little sig-
nificance for most Americans.
But that changed in 1993 with
the release of the movie Ground-
hog Day, in which a semi-embit-
tered meteorologist, played by Bill
Murray, is forced to re-live the
same day over and over again. He
repeatedly makes poor choices,
until he finally learns from his
mistakes and is granted the ability
to move on with his life. Since the
movie came out, the term
Groundhog Day is often used to
refer to a situation in which some-
one repeats the same mistakes. Its
a phenomenon that happens in
many walks of life including in-
vesting.
So, how can you avoid becoming
a Groundhog Day investor? Here
Dont chase after hot invest-
ments. Many investors make this
same mistake over and over
they hear about a hot investment
from a friend, relative or television
commentator, and they buy it. Too
often, though, by the time they
purchase this investment, its al-
ready cooling down. Even more im-
portantly, it just might not be suit-
able for them. So instead of pursu-
ing hot choices, pick those invest-
ments that are appropriate for
your needs, goals and risk toler-
ance.
Dont over-analyze short-term
price fluctuations. Some investors
check their portfolios' performance
every day, or even several times a
day. But if youre constantly eval-
uating how your investments are
doing over short intervals, you
may be tempted to make unwise
decisions in response to sudden
drops or jumps. You can get a good
sense of the progress youre mak-
ing toward your goals by checking
your portfolio once a month.
Dont let fear and greed drive
your choices. Buy low and sell
high is the classic piece of invest-
ment advice. But too many in-
vestors only buy investments
when theyre on the rise and sell
them when theyre falling. In other
words, theyre doing the opposite
of buy low and sell high and
theyre being driven by fear and
greed. Keep these emotions out of
your investment strategy, and
youll help yourself greatly.
Dont maintain unrealistic ex-
pectations. Some people consis-
tently put off investing until
later, figuring they can always
catch up by putting away more
money during their peak earning
years. Dont make that mistake. To
achieve your long-term goals, such
as a comfortable retirement, you
need to invest early and keep in-
vesting, rather than wait for a
time in your life when you may
suddenly have more money freed
up for investment purposes. Also,
dont anticipate that youll steadily
earn a good rate of return on your
investments. Although the finan-
cial markets have trended up in
the long term, weve seen many
down markets that have lasted for
a year or longer. Factor in these
fluctuations when estimating the
rate of return youll need to
achieve your goals. For these types
of calculations, you may want to
work with an experienced finan-
cial professional.
These and other Groundhog
Day-type investment mistakes
can be costly. But you can avoid
them if you maintain a solid in-
vestment strategy, if youve got pa-
tience and perseverance and if
you stay focused on the long-term
horizon.

By Pastor Cornelius R. Stam
In Rom. 8:26 we read what our hearts must often con-
fess to be true:
We know not what we should pray for as
we ought
But the Apostle hastens to explain that the Spirit
makes intercession for us according to the will of God,
adding:
And we know that all things work together for
good to them that love God, to them who are the
called according to His purpose (Rom.8:28).
Believers may not receive whatever they ask for in the
darkness of this age, but
God is able to make all grace abound toward
you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all
things, may abound to every good work (II Cor.
9:8).
We may not receive whatever we ask for, but by His
grace we may have so much more than this, that the
Apostle, in contemplating it, breaks forth in a doxology:
Now unto Him that is able to do exceeding
abundantly above all that we ask or think, ac-
cording to the power that worketh in us,
Unto Him be glory in the Church by Christ
Jesus throughout all ages, world without end.
Amen (Eph. 3:20,21).
In the light of all this the highest expression of faith
today is found in the words of Paul in Phil. 4:6,7:
Be careful [anxious] for nothing but in
everything by prayer and supplication with
thanksgiving let your requests be made
known unto God and
And what?
And whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye
shall receive?
NO!!
and the peace of God, which passeth all
understanding, shall keep [garrison] your hearts
and minds through Christ Jesus.

Making the time and finding the
energy to improve one's self is, in
my opinion, a very wise invest-
ment, and yet I am amazed at how
many people I meet who do not
fully understand the importance of
personal and professional develop-
ment and training for themselves.
Investing one's time and money
in learning is a powerful thing. We
each have so much potential that
could and should be tapped. I have
found that investing in my own
continuing education is far more
profitable to me than investing in
the stock market.
Gaining knowledge is one thing,
however learning the skills to
think, plan, and make dreams turn
into realities, is entirely another
matter. This can be accomplished
by taking the time to sharpen our
axe. I personally choose not to be
dull. I want to be sharp. I want to
be ready at all times to cut wood-
that is, to make things happen in
life.
I encourage everyone I meet to
become a person who craves more
education and hungers for learn-
ing. Taking seminars and classes,
reading books and listening to
CD's, talking to others and asking
a ton of questions are all ways one
can sharpen their axe.
You may benefit from this four-
step process I use quite often to
sharpen my own axe. Keep in mind
that the primary reason for im-
proving oneself is so to be more ef-
fective in getting along, uplifting
and contributing to others' lives in
a positive manner.
Step One. I CAN! Make a list of
all your skills and abilities.
Step Two. I AM! Make a list of all
your roles and responsibilities.
Step Three. I HAVE! Make a list
of all your assets.
Step Four. I WILL! Make a list of
all you goals, dreams and desires.
Apply this process in your every-
day life and you will be amazed at
the results. Indeed, you will dis-
cover a definite sharpening of your
axe!

The Looking Glass of Time
80 years ago
Senate Bill No. 37, introduced
by Senator Otto L. Kaas of Britton,
proposed to repeal the law requir-
ing rural districts to pay high
school tuition. The bill has been re-
ferred to committee and will prob-
ably remain there for a few days.
This bill, if passed, would elimi-
nate high school tuition and deny
to children of rural districts the
right and privilege of secondary
education at public expense.
On Friday evening, late, the
west school house in Peno Basin
district was burned to the ground
with all the contents. About mid-
night a fire was noticed at the
building and before anyone could
reach it the north half of the build-
ing had fallen in. Investigation has
so far been unable to find any
cause for the fire at that time of
night. Mrs. Stanley Teeters is the
teacher and since the fire she has
taken her students over to the east
school in the same district and the
two teachers and twenty four stu-
dents are somewhat crowded in
the one building. The burned
building was built a year ago last
summer.
Amos Reynolds was en route to
the C.P. Kitterman place to get a
load of wood. He left his truck at
the top of a hill and went to the
bottom to find a place to drive
down. While he was investigating,
the truck started down the hill
without a driver and went over the
edge of the breaks and upset, dam-
aging the cab, breaking the wind-
shield and springing the axel. It
took several of the neighbors to get
the truck out.
At 5 oclock Sunday afternoon,
the Quinn fire bell rang giving the
usual dreaded alarm. The barn
and straw at the Carmichael
home, in town, was on fire. The
fire department acted promptly
and succeeded in checking the fire.
It was thought that the fire was
entirely extinguished but at mid-
night it blazed again and the fire
department was again called out.
Mr. and Mrs. Harrel Warner are
living in the house and it is
thought that one of the small chil-
dren succeeded in slipping out
doors with a match and starting
the straw on fire. Some chickens
and a harness were burned also.

The Eagles of the Wall high
school trimmed the Owanka five,
19 to 13 in the Owanka hall, Tues-
day evening.
Fire razed the Camp Crook
schoolhouse, also destroying much
of the equipment, shortly after
class convened Wednesday morn-
ing. The blaze apparently started
by sparks from a flame which the
janitor was using to thaw out
frozen pipes in the basement.
Burning between the walls of the
building, it was impossible to con-
trol by the few fire fighters who
could be summoned immediately.
Within two hours the wooden
building was charred ruins. Suffi-
cient help to combat the flames
could not be obtained quickly, be-
cause the fire siren had been
frozen and could not be sounded.
None of the approximately 75 chil-
dren in the building was injured.

60 years ago
The Wall Eagles evened their
score with Interior Monday
evening by winning from them on
the home floor, 62 to 46. In an ear-
lier season game, Interior had won
from the Wall boys.
Phil Logan of Kadoka, broke his
ankle last week when a horse he
was riding fell with him. They
were just preparing to move to a
farm near Belvidere and the injury
is quite a hindrance to him. Her-
man Denke is assisting with the
moving.
The Belvidere B and A bas-
ketball teams played the Quinn
teams last week and were defeated
in both encounters.
The weekly Wall livestock sales
are being discontinued until some
future notice, according to an an-
nouncement from E. C. Smoot.
Marion Renner of Wall, had a
shipment of 19 head of good qual-
ity whiteface steers that had seen
a little grain was sold Monday
through Sioux City Stock Yards in
Sioux City, Iowa, to an eastern cat-
tle feeder. The 19 head of two-year
olds crossed the scales weighing
1000 pounds and commanded
$22.00 per cwt. (He had been of-
fered $21.50 in Wall). Every mar-
ket in the nation that day had a
sharply lower market. Cattle
prices broke 50 to $1 and more.
The Renner cattle sold at the top
of the feeder market. Also with Mr.
Renner were Berle Dartt and
Merle Crown.

Starting Monday, Wall first
graders will be on half day ses-
sions. The first group will attend
school from 9:00 a.m. to 12:30 with
a milk break and the second group
will go from 12:30 until 4:00 p.m.
Mrs. Melvin Kjerstad has been
hired to teach one group. Kinder-
garten will be held from 9:00 until
10:00 as usual with second grade
starting school at 10:00 a.m. The
first grade will move to the corner
room (band room) and the second
grade to the present first grade
room.
Walls A and B teams eeked out
wins in a double header here Fri-
day night against New Under-
wood. It took an overtime period in
each game to score the wins. The
regulation time in the A game
ended in a 40-40 tie. Two free-
throws in the extra period were
made by Glenn Kjerstad to give
the local boys their win. The B
game was won in the overtime
with the final score 25-23.
A dish fell to the floor and star-
tled all who were in the Drug Store
coffee shop. Bernice Chapell hur-
riedly exclaimed, My diamond
