Newspaper Association High school football games

under Friday night lights and bas-ketball gyms jam-packed with fansare as much a part of SouthDakota as coffee-shop talk aboutthe weather and crops. High schoolsports and other interscholastic ac-tivities such as drama and musicevents fuel intense civic pride inour communities and schools.

The feats and accomplishmentsof students on the field of competi-tion or the performance stage arecelebrated by an entire communityof family, friends and school fans.

The hometown newspaper isthere as well, chronicling thegames and school activities. Cover-ing local school sports and schoolactivities such as plays and con-certs are a big part of what goesinto the local newspaper. The com-munity expects it and a good news-paper meets that expectation.

by Del Bartels Philip, a one-third partner of thecontinuing Stronger Economies To-gether project, hosted the Wednes-day, January 9, multi-communitysession. The first meeting, in December,was held in Kadoka. The thirdmeeting, in February, will be heldin Wall. Attendees are still con-tributing toward a growing kitty ofpossible names for this specificSET region. Made up of HaakonCounty, Jackson County and theeastern portion of PenningtonCounty, the economic partnershipcould vote to be called the Bad-lands/Bad River Region, WesternPlains Region, Central Plains Con-nection, Old West Region or someother name that was in the sugges-tion jar. This two-year federal program iscurrently in its third round. Thetwo-year program’s first year is the

The Wall School Board has beenselected the 2013 ASBSD SchoolBoard Award of Excellence recipi-ent for providing the leadershipnecessary to improve achievementfor all students and exemplifyingthe traits of an effective schoolboard. Wall School Board was chosen

by an independent, four-personpanel and will receive a recogni-tion plaque and a $1,000 cashaward, which was generously pro-vided by BankWest. “It’s been a total team effort by

the Wall School Board to achievethe goals they’ve set for the schooldistrict,” ASBSD Executive Direc-tor Wade Pogany said. “The awardis affirmation of their efforts tomeet those goals.” To be considered for the award,

school boards must provide dataand evidence that board actionsled to improved student achieve-ment. Applicants were also askedto detail how the school board em-bodied five widely- recognized andresearch-based traits of an effec-tive school board: setting clear ex-pectations, creating the conditionsfor success, holding the system ac-countable, building public supportand learning as a board team. Wall School Board developed a

vision of “a district of innovationand inspiration striving for aca-demic excellence.” As part of the vision, the boardhas focused on continued supportof technology by putting a laptopcomputer in the hands of each stu-dent in the 6-12 grades, provided amonthly magazine for parents andcommunity members detailingclassroom projects and continuedto develop as a board through

training. The board’s work has resulted in

a variety of distinguished awards,including being recognized by theSouth Dakota Department of Edu-cation as an Exemplary Elemen-tary and High School and as a Na-tional Blue Ribbon School by theUnited States Department of Edu-cation. Pogany said the Wall School

Board’s progressive thinking hasproduced great results and theirachievements should be sharedwith the community. “The effort of the school board

can clearly be seen in the recogni-tion their schools have received,”Pogany said. “Everyone’s hard work, fromschool board members to students

to community members, should becelebrated with this award.” The announcement of the award

comes one week before the start ofSouth Dakota School Board Recog-nition Week, an annual eventhighlighting the contributions oflocally elected school leaders. Theboard will be recognized in August,at the association’s annual conven-tion. ASBSD is a private, non-profit

association representing morethan 880 South Dakota schoolboard members, the 150 school dis-tricts they govern and the studentsthey serve. Our mission is to ad-vance public education by empow-ering local school board leadersand advocating for a thriving pub-lic education system.

creation of an economic plan for agiven region. The second year is forthe “fun work” of putting that planinto action. After a supper social provided bythe Philip Chamber of Commerce,the attendees of this session fo-cused on three main topics. Thefirst point discussed was the cur-rent demographics of this region,not only what they look like todaybut what they are projected to looklike in the future. It was stressedby speaker Dr. David Olson, com-munity development program di-rector, and video-taped Dr. MichaelMcCurry, state demographer, thatprojections, even from the CensusBureau and other fact-basedsources, can change. HaakonCounty has been losing populationfor years. Currently, over 20 per-cent of its population is over 65years of age. Communicable dis-

eases, such as whooping cough andothers, have been diminishing,while degenerative diseases, suchas cancer and those associatedwith old age, have been increasing.In Haakon County, the average in-come has increased, yet the num-ber of people considered under thepoverty line has also increased.Things can change. The second main topic was anattempt to determine what makesa strong region, particularly thisregion. Differences between thePhilip, Kadoka and Wall communi-ties are numerous. The similaritiescan be used to strengthen theirpartnership. The third main topic was an ex-amination of existing economic de-velopment plans in the region. Oneof these was a new idea promotedby residents from the Kadokaarea. Several plans were revisitedplans from Horizons meetings heldin the individual communitiesfrom previous years. Kari O’Neil, community develop-ment field specialist, stated thatthe kickoff session produced somegreat thoughts on how this regioncan gain a competitive advantageby working together, pooling re-sources and building relationships.As the sessions move forward, at-tendees are to invite those diverseand committed people they knowwho would be assets to this group.The only real requirement is anopenness to this process and a pas-sion for this region. The Philip session discussed theCreation, Attraction, Retention,Expansion model. Communitiescan grow from the creation of newbusinesses, from the attraction ofnew industry or businesses, fromthe retention and strengthening ofexisting businesses, and from theexpansion of existing firms in theregion.

Bill bolsters news media's ability to cover high school sports

Technology today has allowednewspapers to expand the toolsthey use to cover high schoolsports and events. Newspapers aregoing beyond the traditional sto-ries and photos printed in thepaper to innovations such asbroadcasting football or basketballgames over the internet and up-dating readers through socialmedia tools. Readers have come toexpect that type of expanded cov-erage and newspapers of all sizesin South Dakota are delivering onthose expectations.

All good, right? Yes, except thatsome schools are now putting re-strictions and limitations on howthe local news media can covertheir school sporting events andactivities.

In Pierre, an exclusive contractbetween the school and a localradio station prohibits a competinglocal radio station or the localnewspaper from broadcastingPierre school athletic events. How-

AFBF holds 94th Annual meeting in Nashvillesuch as fiscal, environmental andlabor policy hanging in the bal-ance, agricultural unity will be es-sential in 2013. Stallman added that it is timefor America’s elected leaders to putpolitical differences aside for thegood of the nation. Regarding the issue of agricul-tural labor, Stallman said farmersneed a workforce that is “legal, sta-ble and reliable.” He stated, “Fortoo long, we have dealt with theshortcomings of a broken farmlabor system…The results havebeen labor shortages, lost cropsand bureaucratic nightmares. Ournation’s leaders can’t continue toavoid this issue. We need solu-tions.” Stallman said Farm Bureau,working in conjunction with theAgriculture Workforce Coalition,will this year offer “a reasonable,practical and common-sense farmlabor option that works for grow-

ever, the restrictions don't apply toany out-of-town news media out-lets.

In Sioux Falls, the public schooldistrict sought to specifically pro-hibit the local newspaper frombroadcasting high school footballand basketball games on the inter-net.

Elsewhere, newspaper photogra-phers are being unreasonably re-stricted on how they can coverhigh school competitions. Re-porters are limited on how theycan use social media such as Twit-ter and Facebook to report livefrom a high school game.

Schools offer a variety of reasonsfor these restrictions. Mostly, itboils down to money. Schools look-ing to make additional revenuefrom the performances of studentson the field by placing restrictionson how the local news media maycover these events.

Incredible as it may sound, thereis a real trend toward more mone-tization of high school sports.

That is why we are working forpassage of a bill in this legislativesession that would prohibit schoolsfrom unreasonably restricting theability of local news media to dotheir job. Senate Bill 119 would notprohibit schools from generatingrevenue through certain contractswith media, so long as those con-tracts do not restrict other mediafrom being able to do their job.

SB119 is not about creating anyspecial or new privilege for newsmedia in South Dakota. It onlytries to ensure the news media inSouth Dakota can do what theyhave always done when it comes toreporting about high school sportsand activities.

Fans and supporters of highschool sports and activities expectthe 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 supportSenate Bill 119. Let's make surethe hometown news media cancontinue to do their job and live upto the expectations of their readersand viewers. Nothing more, noth-ing less.

ers and workers alike.” During his remarks, Stallman

also praised farmers and ranchersfor their innovation and productiv-ity, sufficient to “meet the diverseand growing food demands” oftoday’s consumers. “Consumertastes are all over the map, andthey continue to change,” he said.

He noted that agriculture mustcontinue to address consumersconcerns. He encouraged FarmBureau members to tell their per-sonal stories about how they areusing fewer resources to growcrops and produce meat, milk andeggs. “Consumers really listen whenwe talk about our desire to contin-ually improve sustainability, qual-ity and safety on our farms,” hesaid. “We must open our doors—and maybe more importantly, openour minds—to consumers andtheir perspectives about food andagriculture.”

It’s still very quiet but many ofthe controversial bills have notcleared committee yet. I voted no on the floor on HB1079 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 tocome to the floor where I think ithas a chance of passing. Although I am a supporter ofopen government I did voteagainst two of the Governor’s taskforce bills. HB1109 that would have re-leased booking photos to themedia. Because I believe in thepresumption of innocence, at thetime of booking, you are not con-victed of any crime. HB 1111 would have repealedthe five year sealing of pardonrecords.

by SDSU iGrow The winter months havebrought little relief to the devas-tating drought in the state ofSouth Dakota. Ranchers are facedwith 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 cattleproducers with needed tools tocope with the issues associatedwith the drought, says Kalyn Wa-ters, SDSU Extension Cow/CalfField Specialist. "Management and preparednessis what it will take to make itthrough another year if thedrought continues," Waters said. It is the goal of Waters and otherSDSU Extension Livestock staff tohelp producers be as prepared aspossible to make critical manage-ment decisions if the drought con-tinues to progress through 2013.As part of their plan to help SouthDakota livestock producers, SDSUExtension has partnered with Uni-versity of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL)Extension to host a five-part webi-nar series with the focus of helpingranchers across the state preparefor the possibility of the droughtcontinuing in 2013. This series ofmeetings is titled "ManagingDrought Risk on the Ranch." "UNL Extension and theDrought Mitigation Center havedone an outstanding job puttingtogether this program. They haveslated some of the best speakersavailable to provide critical infor-mation to producers. Attendingthese meetings will provide ranch-ers with the tools they need to setcritical trigger dates, and begin todevelop a long term managementplan," Waters said. She adds that these meetingsare also intended to educate pro-fessionals and consultants whowork with ranchers as a profes-sional development series. The webinars will be presentedthe last Wednesday of each monthbeginning January 30, and con-cluding in May. One hour webinarswill begin at 9:00 a.m. MST or10:00 a.m. CST at the SDSU Ex-tension Regional Centers. Each session will include cur-rent drought updates, forecastsand presentations about specificinformation or tools. Following each webinar, the re-

Drought Risk on the Ranchgional centers will join togethervia video conference for a questionand answer session where SDSUExtension State and Field Special-ists will provide additional infor-mation relevant to South Dakotaproducers. Topics each month will considerdrought planning information andtools available to producers. In ad-dition to University and Extensionpresenters, a number of rancherswill also be featured. These ranch-ers will describe the developmentand execution of their droughtmanagement plans. The topic of the January 30, we-binar is Managing Drought Riskon the Ranch: The PlanningProcess. The keynote speaker ofthe meeting will be Jerry Volesky,UNL Range and Forage Specialistat the West Central Research andExtension Center. Drought Risk on the Ranch is aprogram that has been put to-gether by range professionals andranchers with instruction for de-veloping individualized plans thatincludes ways ranchers can betterprepare for and respond todrought. The first webinar willprovide an overview of the differ-ent steps in putting together thatdrought plan," said Voleksy.

It may be a crime to speed inSouth Dakota, but it hasn’t beenadding penalty points to a driver’srecord 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 thatpractice will continue for the fore-seeable future. Rep. Steve Hickey, Sioux FallsRepublican, was trying again thisyear to add speeding back into thepoints system as it was prior to1986. He called it “a kinder, gen-tler version” of last year’s bill thatalso had been defeated. Every other moving violationhas points that are applied to adriver’s record. However, the joke,he said, about speeding is that mo-torists can “drive as fast as you canafford.” The purpose, Hickey said, was“not to suspend licenses, but toslow people down.” Fines, he said,have not done that. The bill wouldonly affect a small fraction of thestate’s driver’s, 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 youcan get a point for driving too slow,but not for driving too fast.” While the Department of PublicSafety had indicated to Hickeythat they did not oppose the bill,some members thought it odd thatthe DOT was not testifying for thebill. Rep. Manny Steele, R-SiouxFalls, said he originally had signedon the bill as a sponsor, but waschanging his mind and votingagainst it, saying it was “a billaimed at a few hundred peoplewho are abusive.” He called it“overkill,” citing the effort to keeptrack of the records. The committee voted to kill thebill, 9-4, by moving it to the ses-sion’s 41st day.

After a study that started thispast summer, the Criminal JusticeInitiative (SB 70) was released toLegislators on the first day of theLegislative Session – three weeksago. SB 70 consists of over thirtypages and more than eighty sec-tions. The Senate passed it last weekon a 32-2 vote with little debate,and our state’s major newspapersseem satisfied with simply print-ing press releases from propo-nents. As a former State’s Attorney, Ihave serious concerns about theentire bill, including its very prem-ise. The media has regurgitatedpress releases that our state incar-cerates more people per capitathan most of our surroundingstates. Four of our surrounding statesare ranked in the bottom elevennationally in their rates of incar-ceration, with Minnesota ranked49th. Other statistics you likelyhaven’t heard from proponents ofSB 70 are: •South Dakota’s per capita in-carceration rate has consistentlyhovered below or around the na-tional average. •North Dakota has been rankedlast in per capita murders, whileSouth Dakota has been nearer theaverage. •South Dakota has been rankedthird in the number of rapes percapita. •North Dakota, Wyoming andMontana are considered saferstates than South Dakota accord-ing to 2010 CQ Press’ annual StateCrime Rankings. The belief that our state dispro-portionately incarcerates morepeople, and therefore, is somehowunfair to convicted felons is unfor-tunate as we consider one of themost radical changes to our state’scriminal justice system in decades. The premise of SB 70 takes meback to Governor Daugaard’s re-cently failed education reform bill,which was passed by the Legisla-ture and overridden by a vote ofthe people. Much like that legislation, SB70 contains many disjointed sec-tions designed to appease differentspecial interests to gain support. First, SB 70 eliminates prelimi-nary hearings for class one misde-meanors. As a former prosecutor,the preliminary hearing provides avaluable prosecutorial judgmenttool for settling cases. Once the defendant, their attor-ney and the prosecutor hear thewitnesses in front of a judge, thedefendant has the option of plead-ing guilty or not, and the prosecu-

Week in ReviewBy District 30

Representative Lance Russell

tor can choose to offer an appropri-ate plea agreement to settle thecase. The elimination of the pre-liminary hearing, I believe, will re-duce judicial efficiency. Second, SB 70 cuts in half manyof current maximum sentences forcertain crimes. From my prosecutorial experi-ence, seemingly non-violentcrimes, such as drug and alcoholoffenses, are typically interspersedwith other crimes, like thefts andassaults. Many times, these victims, whoare friends and family of the of-fender, are reluctant to prosecuteand/or cooperate. Therefore, thenon-violent offenses can typicallybe the crime upon which offendersare convicted. Third, in SB 70 the Legislaturedelegates its authority to set sanc-tions without knowing what thesanctions are going to be. The legislation contemplatesfixed sanctions that are of shortdurations. The judge may deviatefrom the tiered system to increasethe sentence up to the maximumfor the protection of the public bymaking findings and conclusionsto justify the deviation. I believe the Legislature shouldnot 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 milliondollars over the next two years inadditional personnel to superviseall of the offenders who would nor-mally be sent to prison. Many local jails are currently atcapacity. Therefore, additionaljail space will most likely beneeded to be built, mostly at theexpense of property taxpayers. I believe this proposal will resultin a significant cost shift onto localgovernments. I believe it is almostimpossible to measure the poten-tial costs of additional crimes thatcould 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. SouthDakotans should also be concernedabout efforts to decriminalize drugoffenses. A judge’s sentencing discretionshould not be limited. A dramaticchange from our current judicialsystem requires a meaningful de-bate to evaluate the consequencesthis legislation will have on the cit-izens of South Dakota. Please take the time to educateyourselves and make contact withyour State Representatives.

Just a note from the “Wastan”wandering in southern Florida.The weather here has been warmand pleasant. Not yet so warm andhumid as sometimes. Yesterday,Tuesday, the 22nd, the newsshowed wide spread blizzard con-ditions across most of the northernstates east to west. By the time Iget this off to you that will havechanged or perhaps, in SouthDakota, by tomorrow! It is amazing how the days arefull and time goes by ratherquickly. A few helpful tasks aroundthe house, a dog walk or two, a sitin the back yard and the girls arehome from school! Then the fun be-gins. Olivia is 16 and a junior in highschool She swims with the highschool team and their season endsbefore Christmas. She has been forsix or seven years now, has enjoyedit and has done very well. Thispast season was an extremely goodyear for Olivia, though she didhave some physical problems thatcaused great pain in her hip whenswimming. In spite of that and thesmall school swim team, volunteercoaches and “borrowed” pool, herteam went through the qualifyingrounds and all the way to state tocompete. The team did well andOlivia came through with a per-sonal time that put her as #11competitive swimmer in the State.Well done, Olivia! Sofia’s ports interest is still in

soccer and last weekend we alltraveled to Naples, Florida, asmallish town (though is a relativedescription as they don’t reallyknow small towns) to the north ofMiami just over 100 miles. Wedrove up on a Friday, early eveningand found our motel and otherteammates and their parents. Sat-urday morning was a perfect soc-cer day — a little cooler, cloudyand armed with water bottles,comfy chairs, jackets and umbrel-las (just in case) off we went a soc-cering! Thirteen little girls playedtheir hearts out for an hour. Thescore was tie — zero to zero — Iwas pleased. It was a good game.The afternoon the opposing teamwas heard to be really good. Ourgirls, team name the “Storm” tookthe field. Another hour of determi-nation, skill and teamwork andplaying their hearts out broughtvictory!It was pleased. It was agood game. One more to go Sunday morn-ing. Probably there were as manyprayers as fervently said as in thechurches surrounding the soccerfield. Same comfy chairs, water bot-tles, jackets and umbrellas. Greet-ings to other parents. Thirteen lit-tle girls played their hearts out foran hour. An hour of determination,skill and teamwork and playingtheir hearts out brought victory —but not to the “Storm”. Two scoresin the last five minutes grantedvictory to the opposers and loss tous. They played a great game, ourlittle girls. I was pleased. It was agood game. We consoled as best we could,but such is the stress of life and

maybe there is a good lesson amidthe thrill of one minute and thedisappointment of the next.

Well, next time we “visit” youcan maybe hear about the dog. Happy Trails!

Richard Wahlstromwww.edwardjones.com

Groundhog Day is almost here.For most of its history — which,according to some reports, datesback to the first celebration in1886 or 1887 in Punxsutawney, Pa.— Groundhog Day held little sig-nificance for most Americans. But that changed in 1993 withthe release of the movie Ground-hog Day, in which a semi-embit-tered meteorologist, played by BillMurray, is forced to re-live thesame day over and over again. Herepeatedly makes poor choices,until he finally learns from hismistakes and is granted the abilityto move on with his life. Since themovie came out, the term“Groundhog Day” is often used torefer to a situation in which some-one repeats the same mistakes. It’sa phenomenon that happens inmany walks of life — including in-vesting. So, how can you avoid becominga “Groundhog Day” investor? Here •Don’t chase after “hot invest-ments.” Many investors make thissame mistake over and over —they hear about a “hot” investmentfrom a friend, relative or televisioncommentator, and they buy it. Toooften, though, by the time theypurchase this investment, it’s 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 foryour needs, goals and risk toler-ance. •Don’t over-analyze short-termprice fluctuations. Some investorscheck their portfolios' performanceevery day, or even several times a

day. But if you’re constantly eval-uating how your investments aredoing over short intervals, youmay be tempted to make unwisedecisions in response to suddendrops or jumps. You can get a goodsense of the progress you’re mak-ing toward your goals by checkingyour portfolio once a month. •Don’t let fear and greed driveyour choices. “Buy low and sellhigh” is the classic piece of invest-ment advice. But too many in-vestors only buy investmentswhen they’re on the rise and sellthem when they’re falling. In otherwords, they’re doing the oppositeof “buy low and sell high” — andthey’re being driven by fear andgreed. Keep these emotions out ofyour investment strategy, andyou’ll help yourself greatly. •Don’t maintain unrealistic ex-pectations. Some people consis-tently put off investing until“later,” figuring they can alwayscatch up by putting away moremoney during their peak earningyears. Don’t make that mistake. Toachieve your long-term goals, suchas a comfortable retirement, youneed to invest early and keep in-vesting, rather than wait for atime in your life when you maysuddenly have more money “freedup” for investment purposes. Also,don’t anticipate that you’ll steadilyearn a good rate of return on yourinvestments. Although the finan-cial markets have trended up inthe long term, we’ve seen manydown markets that have lasted fora year or longer. Factor in thesefluctuations when estimating therate of return you’ll need toachieve your goals. For these typesof calculations, you may want towork with an experienced finan-cial professional. These and other “GroundhogDay”-type investment mistakescan be costly. But you can avoidthem if you maintain a solid in-vestment strategy, if you’ve got pa-tience and perseverance — and ifyou stay focused on the long-termhorizon.

By Pastor Cornelius R. StamIn 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 forgood to them that love God, to them who are thecalled according to His purpose” (Rom.8:28).

Believers may not receive whatever they ask for in thedarkness of this age, but

“God is able to make all grace abound towardyou; that ye, always having all sufficiency in allthings, may abound to every good work” (II Cor.9:8).

We may not receive whatever we ask for, but by Hisgrace we may have so much more than this, that theApostle, in contemplating it, breaks forth in a doxology:

“Now unto Him that is able to do exceedingabundantly above all that we ask or think, ac-cording to the power that worketh in us,

“Unto Him be glory in the Church by ChristJesus throughout all ages, world without end.Amen” (Eph. 3:20,21).

In the light of all this the highest expression of faithtoday is found in the words of Paul in Phil. 4:6,7:

“Be careful [anxious] for nothing — but ineverything — by prayer and supplication — withthanksgiving — let your requests be madeknown unto God — and…”

“And” what?“And whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye

shall receive”?NO!!

“…and the peace of God, which passeth allunderstanding, shall keep [garrison] your heartsand minds through Christ Jesus.”

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 thatcould 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 to

think, 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!

The Looking Glass of Time 80 years ago…

Senate Bill No. 37, introducedby Senator Otto L. Kaas of Britton,proposed 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.

On Friday evening, late, thewest school house in Peno Basindistrict was burned to the groundwith all the contents. About mid-night a fire was noticed at thebuilding and before anyone couldreach it the north half of the build-ing had fallen in. Investigation hasso far been unable to find anycause for the fire at that time ofnight. Mrs. Stanley Teeters is theteacher and since the fire she hastaken her students over to the eastschool in the same district and thetwo teachers and twenty four stu-dents are somewhat crowded inthe one building. The burnedbuilding was built a year ago lastsummer.

Amos Reynolds was en route tothe C.P. Kitterman place to get aload of wood. He left his truck atthe top of a hill and went to thebottom to find a place to drivedown. While he was investigating,the truck started down the hillwithout a driver and went over theedge of the breaks and upset, dam-aging the cab, breaking the wind-shield and springing the axel. Ittook several of the neighbors to getthe truck out.

At 5 o’clock Sunday afternoon,the Quinn fire bell rang giving theusual dreaded alarm. The barnand straw at the Carmichaelhome, in town, was on fire. Thefire department acted promptlyand succeeded in checking the fire.It was thought that the fire wasentirely extinguished but at mid-night it blazed again and the firedepartment was again called out.Mr. and Mrs. Harrel Warner areliving in the house and it isthought that one of the small chil-dren succeeded in slipping outdoors with a match and startingthe straw on fire. Some chickensand a harness were burned also.

70 years ago… The Eagles of the Wall highschool trimmed the Owanka five,19 to 13 in the Owanka hall, Tues-day evening. Fire razed the Camp Crookschoolhouse, also destroying muchof the equipment, shortly afterclass convened Wednesday morn-ing. The blaze apparently startedby sparks from a flame which thejanitor was using to thaw outfrozen pipes in the basement.Burning between the walls of thebuilding, it was impossible to con-trol by the few fire fighters whocould be summoned immediately.Within two hours the woodenbuilding was charred ruins. Suffi-cient help to combat the flamescould not be obtained quickly, be-cause the fire siren had beenfrozen and could not be sounded.None of the approximately 75 chil-dren in the building was injured. 60 years ago… The Wall Eagles evened theirscore with Interior Mondayevening by winning from them onthe home floor, 62 to 46. In an ear-lier season game, Interior had wonfrom the Wall boys. Phil Logan of Kadoka, broke hisankle last week when a horse hewas riding fell with him. Theywere just preparing to move to afarm near Belvidere and the injuryis quite a hindrance to him. Her-man Denke is assisting with themoving. The Belvidere “B” and “A” bas-ketball teams played the Quinnteams last week and were defeatedin both encounters. The weekly Wall livestock salesare being discontinued until somefuture notice, according to an an-nouncement from E. C. Smoot. Marion Renner of Wall, had ashipment of 19 head of good qual-ity whiteface steers that had seena little grain was sold Mondaythrough Sioux City Stock Yards inSioux City, Iowa, to an eastern cat-tle feeder. The 19 head of two-yearolds crossed the scales weighing1000 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 asharply lower market. Cattleprices broke 50¢ to $1 and more.The Renner cattle sold at the topof the feeder market. Also with Mr.Renner were Berle Dartt andMerle Crown. 50 years ago… Starting Monday, Wall firstgraders will be on half day ses-sions. The first group will attendschool from 9:00 a.m. to 12:30 witha milk break and the second groupwill go from 12:30 until 4:00 p.m.Mrs. Melvin Kjerstad has beenhired to teach one group. Kinder-garten will be held from 9:00 until10:00 as usual with second gradestarting school at 10:00 a.m. Thefirst grade will move to the cornerroom (band room) and the second

grade to the present first graderoom. Wall’s A and B teams eeked outwins in a double header here Fri-day night against New Under-wood. It took an overtime period ineach game to score the wins. Theregulation time in the “A” gameended in a 40-40 tie. Two free-throws in the extra period weremade by Glenn Kjerstad to givethe local boys their win. The “B”game was won in the overtimewith the final score 25-23. A dish fell to the floor and star-tled all who were in the Drug Storecoffee shop. Bernice Chapell hur-riedly exclaimed, “My diamondsetting has fallen out of my ring”. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Hustead areenjoying their tour of Europe, ac-cording to letters received by homefolks. After driving to Omaha, theyflew to Copenhagen, Denmark,then on to Rome. A cousin of Mrs.Hustead, Steve Pardy, was theirguide in that city.
