Want to have a great feeling allday on January 28? Plan to stop bythe Wall Badlands Chamber ofCommerce blood drive, from 11:00a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the Wall Com-munity Center. By giving blood, a donor helpsreplenish a community resourceused by a neighbor, relative,friend, or even complete stranger.The donation gives a future pa-tient the same recovery opportu-nity as current patient, because itassures blood will be on hospitalshelf when it’s needed. Only when a significant numberof people donate on a regular basiscan a community maintain ade-quate blood supplies. “If everyonewaited for an emergency to donate,many lives would be jeopardized,”said Lori Liebman, United Blood

Services,” Donor Recruitment Di-rector. “Waiting to donate in anemergency only creates moreemergencies. Blood must be avail-able at all times in sufficientamounts to meet the needs of acommunity.” Volunteer blood donors must beat least 16 years old, weigh at least110 pounds and be in good health.Additional height/weight require-ments apply to donors 22 andyounger and donors who are 16 or17 in certain areas, must havesigned permission from a parent orguardian. Potential donors can make anappointment to give at www.blood-hero.com or by calling 342-8585 inRapid City or 996-3688 inMitchell. Donors will receive a freecholesterol test.

Wall Community Library Book Clubto meet Wednesday, January 30

It delves into the themes of do-mesticity, work, and true love andhow each is a critical facet of awoman’s identity. Some have ar-gued that within Little Women canbe found the first vision of the“American Girl” and how her mul-tiple aspects are embodied in theindividual March sisters. Alcott followed Little Womenwith two sequels, also featuringthe March sisters: Little Men(1871) and Jo’s Boys (1886). All ofthese titles can be checked out atthe Library, especially if you areanxious to find out what happenedin the lives of the March sisters.

ANNUALELM SPRINGSFIRE DISTRICT

MEETING

Wed., Feb. 64:00 p.m. at the

Elm Springs Fire Hall

Making the time and finding theenergy to improve one's self is, inmy opinion, a very wise invest-ment, and yet I am amazed at howmany people I meet who do notfully understand the importance ofpersonal and professional develop-ment and training for themselves. Investing one's time and moneyin learning is a powerful thing. Weeach have so much potential that

could and should be tapped. I havefound that investing in my owncontinuing education is far moreprofitable to me than investing inthe stock market. Gaining knowledge is one thing,however learning the skills tothink, plan, and make dreams turninto realities, is entirely anothermatter. This can be accomplishedby taking the time to sharpen ouraxe. I personally choose not to bedull. I want to be sharp. I want tobe ready at all times to cut wood-that is, to make things happen inlife. I encourage everyone I meet tobecome a person who craves moreeducation and hungers for learn-ing. Taking seminars and classes,reading books and listening toCD's, talking to others and askinga ton of questions are all ways onecan sharpen their axe. You may benefit from this four-step process I use quite often tosharpen my own axe. Keep in mindthat the primary reason for im-proving oneself is so to be more ef-fective in getting along, upliftingand contributing to others' lives ina positive manner. Step One. I CAN! Make a list ofall your skills and abilities. Step Two. I AM! Make a list of allyour roles and responsibilities. Step Three. I HAVE! Make a listof all your assets. Step Four. I WILL! Make a list ofall you goals, dreams and desires. Apply this process in your every-day life and you will be amazed atthe results. Indeed, you will dis-cover a definite sharpening of youraxe!

By Pastor Cornelius R. StamA Bible test was sprung recently on five classes of col-

lege-bound 11th and 12th graders in an American publicschool.

Some thought Sodom and Gomorrah were lovers; thatthe Gospels were written by Matthew, Mark, Luther andJohn; that Eve was created from an apple; and that thestories which Jesus told were called parodies.

Eighty to ninety percent of the students could not com-plete the most familiar quotations from Scripture.

The teacher, Thayer S. Warshaw, was understandablyupset and rightly asked: “Is the student to study mythol-ogy and Shakespeare and not the Bible? Is it importantfor him to learn what it means when a man is called anAdonis or a Romeo, yet unimportant for him to be able totell a Jonah from a Judas?”

This writer’s heart is with that teacher and all who areawake enough to see that the Bible is disappearing moreand more from American life. How can we expect any-thing but juvenile delinquency, the rapid general rise inthe crime rate, the growing divorce rate, increasing dis-honesty at every level of business and social life — howcan we expect anything but these conditions when theBible is flaunted and despised? This departure from theWord of God is bound to get us deeper and deeper intotrouble.

But whatever the conditions about you, you may havethe joy and peace and light that comes from that BlessedBook. The Bible tells us frankly that “all have sinned”(Rom.3:23) and that “the wages of sin is death”(Rom.6:23) since a just God must deal with sin. Ah, but ittells us also that “Christ died for our sins” (ICor.15:3), andthat the believer may have “peace with God through ourLord Jesus Christ” (Rom.5:1).

Read the Bible, especially the Epistles of Paul, who wasraised up to proclaim “the gospel [good news] of the graceof God” (Acts 20:24). You will never cease to thank Godfor having given your attention to this wonderful Book.

Lessons from the gardenThe spring and summer of 2012

brought exciting new learning op-tions to the students of Wall Ele-mentary. As the days grew longerand warmer and students eagerlycounted down the days until sum-mer vacation, teachers took the les-sons and learning outside. BrendaCarmichael and Jackie Rosethguided students from second gradeand WASP through lessons in lifescience, but by the end of the grow-ing season the lessons would havean even greater significance.

The project started with a grantapplication to KidsGardening.org,an organization of the NationalGardening Association. The stafffound research on the benefits ofgardening in a school setting. Theresearch showed that studentsworking together in the gardenhelps to develop and improve“problem solving skills, school atti-tudes, communication skills, ap-preciation of culturally differentpeers, and an increased willingnessto try new tasks” (Robinson and Za-jicak p.456) As staff waited for com-munication of a grant award, theycame to a collective realization thatwaiting to receive confirmation ofgrant acceptance would be too lateto begin a teaching garden beforeschool was dismissed for the sum-mer. At that point they began gath-ering extra tools and supplies fromtheir own gardens to get the pro-gram started.

Second graders were the first toget their hands dirty in this newendeavor. Each day they wouldcome to school eager to see whathad spouted. There were surprisesand disappointments as studentsbegan moving their fragile chargesinto the raised bed. As the dayspassed and summer began the stu-dents of WASP under the guidanceof Jackie Roseth continued caringfor the raised bed and put in asmall pumpkin patch and hillsidegarden near the practice footballfield. They had many surprises anddisappointments too as theywatched the small garden patchesstruggle through heat, drought,and grasshoppers.

Beginning in June, the Kids’Garden added another excitinglearning experience—the Kids’Garden Market. The third Wednes-day of each month through thegrowing season students harvestedand prepared foods. Concessions aswell as recipes for in-season pro-duce were made available to thecommunity through the Kids’ Gar-den Market. At first the studentsdidn’t really understand the con-cept of a market. The aha momentarrived in August when the bountywas rolling in from the school andstaff gardens. There was a realsense of pride and accomplishment.All produce and concessions weremade available for a free will dona-tion. Each market day staff wouldtalk with the students about help-ing and serving others.

With the return of school in thefall, Mrs. Carmichael’s new secondgraders joined with Mrs. Ruland’sthird graders, the kids who startedthe project the previous spring, fora salsa party. Students made salsaand sampled vegetables likekohlrabi which were new to them.The most inspiring moment of the

teaching garden happened asWASP students gathered to cele-brate the season of growing andlearning. Their little eyes poppedand their faces lit with surpriseand joy when the students learnedthat their efforts along with thoseof a very generous community al-lowed them to donate $500 to theCountry Cupboard food pantry tobe used with the Back Pack Pro-gram, a program that provides foodfor the weekend for children of fam-ilies qualifying for food assistance.

A project which began with les-sons in life science grew to encom-pass life lessons-- perseverance,creativity, compassion and generos-ity. Students and staff would like togratefully acknowledge for follow-ing people and organizations fortheir support: Eastern PenningtonCountry Conservation District and

Lillian Helms along with CindyWeaver for providing educationalmaterials, Dan Hauk and ButchKitterman for moving dirt, RoseLudeman and the Wall BuildingCenter for the donation of seeds,Karol and Gale Patterson for thedonation of pumpkins for the end ofthe season garden party, all indi-viduals who so generously andfaithfully through wind and heat (… and did we mention wind?) par-ticipated in the Kids’ Garden Mar-ket, and the Wall School Districtand School Board for their supportthrough planning and implementa-tion of the project. Currently fund-ing is being sought to expand theKids’ Garden. Anyone who wouldlike to support this work with thisproject should contact JeanineSykora at 279-2285 [email protected].

FINANCIAL FOCUSHELP YOUR CHiLDRENAVOiD STUDENT DEBT

BURDENRichard Wahlstrom

www.edwardjones.com It’s not so easy being a collegekid these days. The job market forrecent graduates has been shakywhile, at the same time, studentsare leaving school with more debtthan ever before. If you have chil-dren who will someday be attend-ing college, should you be worried? You might indeed have cause forconcern. Americans now owe moreon student loans than on creditcards, according to the FederalBank of New York, the U.S. De-partment of Education and othersources. For the college class of2011, the most recent year forwhich figures are available, the av-erage student loan debt was about$26,500, according to the Institutefor College Access and Success’sProject on Student Debt. This type of debt load, coupledwith the struggles to find a well-paying job commensurate withtheir education, is causing manyrecent graduates to get off on thewrong foot in terms of developingsavings and investment strategiesthat could help them throughouttheir lives. So, what can you do? If you want to help your kids payfor college, you may want to con-sider a 529 plan. When you investin a 529 plan, all withdrawals willbe free from federal income taxes,as long as the money is used forqualified college expenses. (How-ever, non-qualified withdrawalsmay be subject to ordinary incometax plus a 10% penalty on theearnings portion.) Contributionlimits are high, and, contributionsmay be eligible for a tax deductionor credit for residents in certainstates. A 529 plan, while valuable, isnot the only college savings vehicleavailable. You may also want toconsider a Coverdell EducationSavings Account, which, like a 529plan, can generate tax-free earn-

ings if the money is used for highereducation expenses. However, aCoverdell account’s contributionlimits are much lower than thoseof a 529 plan. You could also estab-lish a custodial account, known asan UGMA or UTMA, which offerssome tax benefits and no contribu-tion limits. Nonetheless, while these vehi-cles may help you save and investfor college, they may also divert re-sources that you might have usedfor other financial goals — such asa comfortable retirement. Ofcourse, it’s not an “either-or” situ-ation — there’s nothing stoppingyou from contributing to a 529plan, Coverdell account or custo-dial account along with your401(k) and IRA. Clearly, though, it will take dis-cipline and perseverance on yourpart to save and invest for bothyour children’s education and yourown retirement. Like everyoneelse, you don’t have unlimited re-sources. But you do have anotherally — time. The earlier you begininvesting for education and retire-ment, the greater your chances ofachieving your goals in theseareas. And by understanding howyour goals interact, you can workto make sure you don't inadver-tently derail one when saving foranother. Avoiding the student loan “debttrap” while still making progresstoward your retirement savingswill require creative thinking —and both you and your childrenmay have to make some sacrificesalong the way. But the ultimategoals — a college degree that isn’tone big IOU and a comfortable re-tirement — are worth the effort.

The Looking Glass of Time 80 years ago…

Complete publicity showing re-ceipts and expenditures in allcounty and local units of govern-ment is one of the most effectivemeans of keeping public expensedown, James P. McDonnell of Buf-falo, vice-president of the Min-nesota Taxpayers Association, de-clared in an address. Published re-ports in newspapers give everytaxpayer a chance to “check up” onpublic transactions, and taxpayerscan follow up with protest whenthese appear necessary.

Women visitors to hospitals arepermitted to kiss male patients,even if these are married, a courtin Vienna ruled. Paul Johannes,lying in a Viennese hospital, wherehe had been operated on, fre-quently was visited by a girl friendof his wife. His visitor, a good look-ing widow of about thirty, alwayskissed the man when coming andleaving. His wife considered thewidow’s behavior to be too “chari-table” and filed a suit of divorce.The court, however, did not see adefault in the kisses of the youngwidow and dismissed the case.

Senate Bill No. 37, introducedby Senator Otto L. Kaas of Britton,proposes to repeal the law requir-ing rural districts to pay highschool 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 denyto children of rural districts theright and privilege of secondaryeducation at public expense.

70 years ago… Lysle T. Dartt, 33, of Wall, is oneof more than 500 U. S. Naval Re-serve Officers who graduated fromthis indoctrination school, January11, 1943. Lieutenant Dartt hasconcluded an intensive 60-daycourse, designed to acquaint himwith Navy life. Officers receive in-struction in seamanship, ord-nance, correspondence, navigation,naval regulations and customs andother allied subjects. He attendedWall high school, graduating in1927, and received his bachelor’sdegree in 1933 at the University ofSouth Dakota, Vermillion. Fire stricking in the bitterly-coldearly morning hours Tuesday de-stroyed the Quinn school dormi-tory, forming students and teach-ers to flee in their night clothes.Cause of the fire, which started inthe basement, is undetermined,but it did not burst into flames inthe upper stories until the childrenstarted rushing out of the old two-story school building. 60 years ago… The Pennington CountyCourant, along with the RapidCity Journal and Gate City Guide,was designated last week by theBoard of County Commissioners tocontinue to serve as a county offi-cial paper for 1953. Sonny Huether won a technicalknock out in the Legion boxingcard held last week in Rapid City.He is expected to enter the GoldenGlove tournament that is beingstagged in Rapid City, February 2,3, and 4, according to his trainers,George Tivis and Roy Pederson. The largest banquet ever held inWall was given Sunday evening inthe new WREA building by theChamber of Commerce in recogni-tion and appreciation of the newWREA headquarters and for sev-eral farmers who had achievedrecords in soil conservation prac-tice. The ladies served one hun-dred fifty persons, about half ofthem being guests of the Club. 50 years ago… Bouquet of blue and white car-nations adorned the altar of theFirst Lutheran Church in Wall, inwhich Miss Margy White becamethe bride of Jerald Kjerstad at anevening ceremony, January 12.The bride is the daughter of Mrs.Donald Cress of Sturgis, and thegroom is the son of Mr. and Mrs.Elnoris Kjerstad of Quinn. In spite of regular tests, rumorsstill persist that Wall’s deep wellwater supply is contaminated.Tests were made from water takenfrom different taps in Wall —Crown residence, Fountain Motel,at the pump house and JensenTrailer Court. All samples weremarked satisfactory. The testswere for organic matter or bacteriaand made January 4, 1963. A drama that could have endedin tragedy occurred Thursdaynight in this age of modern two-way radios, cars, planes and‘copters, that would never havebeen so serious back in homesteaddays when everyone knew that thelatch string was always out for anystranger that happened alongwhether owners were home or not— and the Carl Ericksons are stilljust that type. Two missile workersbecame stalled with their truck inthe Deep Creek country about 5:00o’clock in the afternoon. Afterworking two or three hours tryingto get their truck and trailer

(which was loaded with expensivewelding equipment) out, theywalked about two miles to the CarlErickson place. Finding no one athome they finally entered andused the phone. However, theywere afraid to “make themselvesat home” as would have happenedin early days. So after notifyinghome base (Sturgis) that they werestalled, the men went back to theirtruck where they were found thenext morning after an all-nightsearch. The stranded men hadgiven such poor description of theirlocation, that the search coveredthe entire area from Cottonwood toPedro and Creighton to Grind-stone.

40 years ago… The City Council at their regu-lar meeting last week voted to se-cure the services of the Sixth Plan-ning and Development District todraw up plans for a Clinic to re-place the old hospital building onSouth Main Street. The old hospi-tal building was formerly the resi-dence of A. C. Kingsbury and wasmoved here from Cottonwoodabout thirty years ago, equippedfor use as a hospital and operatedby the late Dr. G. W. Mills. Today,a few of the rooms on the lowerfloor are being used as office spacefor the Wall nurse, a dentist andan optometrist, and occasionallyfor a doctor. The proposed buildingwould be located on these two lots,100 ft. by 150 ft. and would containoffices and examination rooms tobe used by a doctor, and nurses, adentist and optometrist, emer-gency rooms for patients, and per-haps a garage for the Wall Ambu-lance. Fire Tuesday afternoon de-stroyed a workshop and contentsat the Robert Marsden place west

of Wall. The Wall firemen wereable to save the truck that hadstarted to burn and a chickenhouse adjacent to the work shop.Sparks from welding set fire tosome gasoline which was the causeof the fire. Calene Beth Knock and RandyGene Babcock were united in mar-riage at a firelight ceremony in thehome of the bride’s parents, Mr.and Mrs. Calvin N. Knock inBillings, Mont. on New Year’s Eve.Parents of the groom are Mr. andMrs. Gordon Babcock.

The Chicago andNorth Western, the only railroadin western South Dakota, lastweek gave official notice that theline running between Rapid Cityand Pierre will be subject to aban-donment or discontinuance withinthree years. Absentees from the startinglineup were a factor in the Wallbasketball game against LymanCounty on Friday, January 21, butthe major contributor for their losswas uncontrolled ball handlingwhich produced 31 Wall turnoversduring the game. Wall was de-feated by a score of 77-55. Scoringthe most points for Wall was juniorJim Tines with 16. Although AndyLinn didn’t shoot many from thefield, his free throw attempts werevery accurate.
