Traditions passed down 

to the next generation 


Christmas, a time of celebrating 

with family and having family 

gatherings who have traditions 

which have been passed down 

from generation to generation. 

First grade teacher at Wall Elementary 

Mrs. Marlie Trask, explained 

to her class what a tradition 

is and the tradition she has 

with her family and when her tradition 

began. She then asked what 

traditions her class has with their 

families and here is what they 

said. 

Brodi Sundall explained that his 

family visits his grandpa and 

grandma’s house for christmas and 

the next day to go to visit his aunt 

in South Dakota. 

Jada Reinert said, “We draw 

names every year and then we get 

to go to grandma’s house and take 

turns opening gifts and then Santa 

comes.” 

Paige Kjerstad stated, “We draw 

names every year and when we get 

a name we buy a present and we 

put up our tree on Christmas eve 

and then we go to grandma’s 

house. 

Thane Simons related we go to 

our cousins every year and we sit 

at the table and pass out presents. 

We also have ham every year for 

Christmas dinner. 

Bryce Rubio said, “We visit or 

spend time with our family on 

Christmas holidays. We sing 

Christmas songs, play Christmas 

board games and read lots of 

Christmas stories and we eat a 

Christmas meal and decorate our 

tree on Christmas eve.” 

Becca Griebel announced they 

Community members sign up for prizes before heading off to 

get their pancakes. Carol Hahn and Jodi Bielmaier make sure 

there names are put into the right boxes for the drawings.

their presents on Christmas morning. 

Nora Dinger said, “My sister, 

brother and I draw names with our 

cousins and so do the adults. We 

open our presents on Christmas 

morning.” 

Emma Eisenbraun and her family 

open presents after Santa 

Claus comes and then we go to 

grandma’s house and usually my 

dad’s brothers come. 

Cassidy Albrinck said, “We sing 

Happy Birthday to Jesus, have 

dinner and then open presents.” 

Sean Dunker stated, “We go to 

grandpa’s but this year we are 

going to my aunt’s in Custer and 

we open presents on Christmas 

morning.” 

Alexis Stephan and her family 

open presents on Christmas eve 

and we celebrate Christmas because 

it’s Jesus’s birthday and my 

mom and I make cookies. 

Burke Blasius explained he and 

his family wrap presents on 

Christmas eve and then we open 

them on Christmas morning. We 

leave cookies and milk out for 

Santa on Christmas eve and then 

my cousins come over. 

Owen Fauske and his family go 

to church on Christmas eve and 

then we go to my grandma’s house. 

We have an early Christmas with 

my grandma Donna. 

Dawson Hess said, “It’s a family 

tradition to go camping on Christmas. 

We open our presents on 

Christmas eve or sometimes on 

Christmas morning and we go to 

my grandma’s house for dinner.” 

Terryn Shearer goes to her 

grandma’s house cause it’s big and 

we go around in a circle and open 

our presents and stocking. I get a 

birthday cake cause I think my 

birthday is on Christmas. 

Jada Kusser gives her dog a 

bone on Christmas day and I give 

my mom makeup and we decorate 

the tree and then my friends and I 

make Raccoon houses. 

Kaylen Spotted Bear said, “My 

aunt comes from Missouri to my 

house to celebrate Christmas and 

we then go to my grandma’s house 

or maybe we do that on Thanksgiving.” 

Kadence Kusser likes to celebrate 

Christmas because it’s 

Jesus’s birthday. Our family gives 

out presents to celebrate when 

Santa comes. 

Bridger Casjens said, “His family 

goes to church on Christmas 

morning and open their presents 

on Christmas eve. 

Natalee Armenta and her family 

decorate a tree, watch holiday 

shows, bake Chrismas cookies and 

open their presents on Christmas 

morning. 

Mason Crawford stated, “We 

make Christmas snow shapes. We 

always sing one song that we 

choose. Every Christmas we make 

one Gingerbread house to decorate 

and one to eat and we go to 

grandpa and grandma’s house.” 

Whether your tradition has been 

handed down from generation-togeneration 

or you have just started 

one, pass it on to your next generation 

so each holiday will have it’s 

own special meaning. I know I am. 

Eastern Pennington County Ambulance District will 

sign lease with city at January 8 council meeting 


Eastern Pennington County Ambulance 

District met for a regular 

meeting on December 13, at 7:00 

p.m. in the Community Center 

meeting room. 

President Wally Hoffman called 

the meeting to order with board 

members Carolynn Anderson, 

Norm Eisenbraun, Jem Kjerstad 

and Elden Helms present. 

Minutes from the November 13, 

meeting were approved. 

Board members went over the 

lease agreement. Hoffman who 

was at the city council meeting informed 

the board that the city was 

okay with the lease and having the 

name on the utilities changed over 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

to the ambulance district which 

will need to be included in the 

agreement. The board approved 

the lease with the discussed revision. 

The board approved the insurance 

policy with a $500 deductible. 

It was discussed when to begin 

paying the monthly bills. Anderson 

related when the lease is signed 

she will ask the city council to 

move the ambulance service funds 

over to the ambulance districts 

checking account. 

Hoffman will attend the city 

council meeting on January 8, 

2013 to sign the lease. 

John Kitterman with the ambulance 

service will look into changing 

the names on the phone bill so 

Anderson will have access to it. 

It was decided to have Anderson 

pick-up the mail and e-mail the 

ambulance service if there is anything 

for them. 

Kitterman informed the board 

that he and Dawn Hilgenkamp 

each have a credit card for the ambulance 

service through First Interstate 

Bank. They don’t use the 

cards very often but he thought 

the board should know this. 

The next ambulance district 

meeting will be held on Thursday, 

January 19, 2013 at 7:00 p.m. at 

the Community Center meeting 

room. 

With no other business the 

meeting was adjourned.

South Dakota Christmas traditions 

By Senator John Thune 

Christmas has always been a 

season of tradition. From picking 

out the Christmas tree, to baking 

for the neighbors, nearly every 

family has their own customs and 

traditions around the holidays. 

Some of these traditions are 

community-wide celebrations that 

capture the true spirit of the season. 

Throughout the state you will 

find small and large towns coming 

together to enjoy the company of 

others and reflecting on the year 

that has passed. 

For some, a trip to Pierre for a 

look at the Christmas trees that 

are decorated by businesses, nonprofit 

organizations, and government 

offices is an annual tradition. 

Others enjoy the nativities and 

Christmas pageants that local 

churches and community groups 

will host each year. 

Some enjoy the sounds of the 

season at school concerts and the 

South Dakota Acoustic Christmas 

in Sioux Falls, Yankton, Lead, and 

Rapid City. 

No matter the tradition, the season 

presents wonderful opportunities 

to enjoy the fellowship of 

friends and family. 

Perhaps no tradition is more important 

than celebrating the season 

of giving by remembering 

those who are less fortunate. 

I am always amazed by the generosity 

of South Dakotans, and I 

know that in difficult times those 

in need can count on others for 

support during the Christmas season. 

Not all South Dakotans have the 

means to make financial donations 

to those in need, but many South 

Dakotans will choose to donate 

their time and talents, offering a 

helpful hand to a neighbor in need, 

organizing food drives, and providing 

a warm meal and gifts to lessfortunate 

children. 

We also think about those families 

who have loved ones serving in 

the military around the globe who 

will be apart this Christmas. The 

strength of the family members 

who celebrate traditions while 

praying for the safety of loved ones 

in harm’s way reminds us all of 

how fortunate we are to be together 

this time of year. 

As you continue to celebrate 

your Christmas traditions this season, 

Kimberley and I would like to 

wish all of those travelling this 

season safe journeys and a very 

Merry Christmas. 

May God continue to bless South 

Dakota and our great nation.

Driving safety expert Douglas Horn alerts 

drivers to holiday driving hazards 

By Douglas R. Horn 

Dangerous driving behaviors 

could make December most dangerous 

month ever 

Driving safety expert Doug Horn 

says motorists not only need to exhibit 

extra caution while encountering 

treacherous road surfaces 

and reduced visibility during the 

weeks ahead, they also need to 

stay on high alert for four dangerous 

driving behaviors, which he 

says could make December 2012 

one of the most dangerous months 

ever for motorists. 

“When accompanied by poor 

road conditions, these four dangerous 

behind-the-wheel behaviors 

combine into a perfect storm of 

risk for drivers,” says Horn, 

founder of the driving safety program 

“Drive by Example” 

(www.drivebyexample.com). 

The Winter Holiday’s Four Most 

Dangerous Driving Behaviors: 

1. Distracted Driving: “This includes 

driving while using cell 

phones for both talking and texting 

holiday messages to friends, 

co-workers, and family,” Horn 

says. “It also includes driving 

while checking out store hours and 

locations using a smart phone to 

surf the web.” 

2. Impaired Driving: “Year end 

dinners, parties and celebrations 

typically involve consumption of 

alcohol, and in too many cases, use 

of drugs,” says Horn. “An increase 

in the number of impaired drivers 

using the roadways during the 

winter holidays has been well-established 

by law enforcement, and 

the loss of life resulting from impaired 

driving is also well-established.” 

3. Pressured Driving: “The winter 

holidays typically bring with 

them increased pressures, especially 

financial pressures and the 

stress created by trying to do too 

much in a short time span. Drivers 

often react to these pressures by 

driving too fast for conditions, 

making aggressive lane changes, 

failing to yield right-of-way, and 

generally disregarding the needs 

and safety of others using the 

road,” he says. 

4. Fatigued Driving: “Increased

demands and activities during the 

winter holidays often mean significantly 

reduced sleep schedules,” 

Horn says. “According to a study 

by the AAA Foundation for Traffic 

Safety, people who slept six to 

seven hours a night were twice as 

likely to be involved in a crash as 

those sleeping eight hours or more, 

while people sleeping less than five 

hours increased their risk four to 

five times.” 

Horn says it’s not uncommon for 

a single driver to manifest all four 

dangerous driving behaviors at the 

same time, especially in the final 

10 days of the year. 

“Drivers in warm climates with 

good road conditions also need to 

be alert to these dangerous behaviors,” 

Horn says. “During sunny 

days when roads are clear, drivers 

become ‘risk averse’ and drive 

faster while taking their attention 

off the physical activity of driving. 

Putting your vehicle on ‘autopilot’ 

is extremely dangerous at anytime 

of the year, but especially so during 

the holidays when traffic volume 

increases.” 

To help motorists stay accidentfree 

over the holidays, Horn has 

compiled some tips for safe driving 

which he says can and should be 

used 365 days-a-year by every motorist: 

•Drive Alert: “This is especially 

crucial at intersections where failure 

to notice traffic control devices 

can result in violent collisions and 

pedestrian injuries,” Horn says. 

•Drive Buckled: “The use of seat 

belts reduces risk of crash fatality 

by 45 percent according to the National 

Highway Traffic Safety Organization,” 

Horn says. 

•Drive Cautious: “Drive at safe 

speeds for conditions, keep proper 

distance between vehicles, obey 

traffic signs, and signal all turns,” 

he says. Resist the temptation to 

make a sudden lane change or another 

risky maneuver. 

•Drive Defensively: “When you 

drive alert, buckled and cautious, 

you are effectively protecting yourself, 

your passengers and other 

motorists against risk of violent 

collision, injury and fatality,” he 

says. 

•Drive by Example: “When drivers 

model safe driving behaviors, 

they are in the best position to protect 

themselves, their passengers, 

and others on the roadway,” Horn 

says.

“Theme” meal was held last 

Tuesday, the 11th — a good ham 

dinner. There were around thirty 

people attending. Bingo was 

played after dinner for those who 

wanted to stay. Arla Olson and Lucille 

Holsether called the numbers. 

The Badlands Quilters held 

their Christmas party Tuesday afternoon 

in the smaller room at the 

Community Center. They had a lot 

of games and played “Quilt” instead 

of Bingo, everyone taking 

part. The table was loaded with all 

kinds of goodies, very festive. 

Everyone had a fun time. 

Mike and Gretchen Rausch have 

a new grandson born to Anne Jo 

and Beau on December 6th. He 

has been named Lincoln John, 

weighed 8 lbs. 7 oz. and measured 

20 1/2 inches long. He has two 

older brothers, Kaylen and Tyson. 

Our congratulations go out to the 

family. 

Our congratulations, also to 

Aaron and Emily Kitterman of 

Rose Hill, Kan., as they have a 

baby boy, Thomas Boyd, born August 

21, 2012. He joins a sister, Ivy. 

From Wall, grandparents are John 

and Candee Kitterman, greatgrandparents 

are Boyd and Ann 

Kitterman. This is a belated announcement 

but “best of wishes” 

are still in order. 

Did you get to see Santa Claus 

last Wednesday evening, the 12th, 

at the Pancake supper at Wall 

Drug? If you didn’t, you are of the 

minority as there was a huge 

crowd! Thank you to all the merchants 

who put on this annual 

event! 

A reception was held at the St. 

Patrick’s Catholic Church, Sunday 

afternoon in honor of Mary 

Roeder’s graduation from college. 

We offer our congratulations also. 

Sherry and Kurth DeLand came 

on Friday to Wall. They took his 

mom, Janis Bush, to Rapid City on 

Saturday and went home to 

Stromsburg, Neb., on Sunday. 

Things are so hectic this time of 

year but the forecast looked relatively 

nice so they decided to come. 

We did have light snow on Sunday 

morning. 

Last week’s “Courant” had a picture 

of the new baby of Roseann 

Eisenbraun and Danny Whidby, 

born on November 9th. She was at 

Prairie Village one morning and 

she has so much dark hair — a 

precious baby girl. Congratulations 

to all of the family. 

Travis Williams came through 

his surgery last Monday and possibly 

was dismissed from the hospital 

on Sunday, the 16th. Thankfully, 

the tumor was benign but he 

ended up with them taking 2/3 of 

his lung, more than they had estimated. 

We send “get-well” messages 

to Travis as he recuperates.

on Friday because of the tragic 

event at the school in Newtown, 

Conn. We’ll never know what the 

killer’s motive was — it is so unbelievable 

and senseless! Pray for 

those poor people! 

Lyle and Viola Williams went to 

the City (Rapid, that is) on Thursday 

to do Christmas shopping. 

Michelle Lamphere stopped in 

Wall on her way to Sioux Falls on 

Monday to see Grandma Frances. 

Only I wasn’t home — she left gifts 

by my front door after phoning me. 

Told her I would be home in an 

hour so didn’t think things would 

freeze, as it wasn’t that cold. 

The whole community was 

shocked to hear of Celine Trask’s 

horrific accident. Our thoughts 

and prayers are with her and her 

family as she goes through surgeries. 

Diane Geigle is home from the 

hospital after back surgery and is 

doing well. Gerald and Esther Wolford 

were out to see her last Thursday. 

Tina Carstensen of Lusk, Wyo., 

was here over the weekend to visit 

her folks, the Mettlers. She and 

her mom were involved in candy 

making. 

Gerald and Esther Wolford were 

in Rapid City on Sunday to visit 

Carl and Jan Hill and family. Taylor 

was home from college in Arizona. 

They enjoyed their greatgrandson 

Malachi. 

Grant Holub graduated from the 

Black Hills State University on 

Saturday, the 15th. Bill and Kay 

Leonard were in attendance. 

Pastor Darwin Kopfmann went 

to Huron and spent Friday 

evening and Saturday for an early 

Christmas with family — his 

daughter Amy, Jerrod and Ethan 

Busch; his son Daniel, Carrie, 

Owen and Carly Kopfmann; and 

Pastor’s mother-in-law Nellie

Wasta Wanderings 

Submitted by 

Lloyd & Margee Willey 

The Wall elementary school 

Christmas program Monday, December 

10th, was just delightful! If 

you didn’t have the Christmas 

spirit at the beginning of the 

evening, you surely would have 

been at the close of the program. 

The fifth grade band opened 

with two traditional Christmas favorites 

and did well with both. 

Three Wasta kids, Kole Gallino, 

John Deering and Ash Grenstiner 

did their part. 

Sheridan Deering was part of 

the recorder group and the light 

“flutey” sound of the recorder 

sounded perfect through both their 

songs. 

The skit, “It’s Christmas, Carol!” 

involved elves, ghosts and a chorus 

casting kindergarten through fifth 

grade and was just good fun and 

well done. 

Wasta was well represented, 

Louis and Samantha Rancour, 

Dayton Skillingstad, Connor, 

Mason and Raiden Crawford and 

Natalee Armenta. 

Ms. Christiansen seems to bring 

out the talent and the teachers 

and all who participated need 

thanks so — Thank you! 

Wasta grandparents can be 

proud of Katy Humphrey (Carl 

and Anna Lee Humphrey), Lanie 

Mae Humphrey, Kaylan Spotted 

Bear (Mike and Gretchen Rausch), 

Cameron Ausmann (Dorothy 

Bathel) and Brody Bryan, great 

nephew of Faye Bryan. It was a 

very good program and we appreciate 

the talent and work that 

went into it. 

Also observed was the courteous 

“audience” of kids who were also 

performers, but at times were not 

part of the featured act, but gave 

attention to those who were “on 

stage”. 

Speaking of the Rausch family, 

Gretchen announced a new grandson, 

Lincoln John Spotted Bear, 

born December 6th to Anne Jo and 

Beau. Brothers are excited! Baby 

weighed 8 1/2 lbs and was 20 1/2 

inches long. Congratulations! 

Anna Lee Humphrey was a little 

tired, but as always, looking forward 

to a good Bingo game 

Wednesday afternoon. Her table 

has been the lucky table where the 

big winners have sat! Good luck 

this week, Anna Lee. 

Marilyn Keyser has gone 

through her “preventative” radiation 

treatments and is still at her 

son’s near Dallas, Texas. 

Please keep both Marilyn and 

Anna Lee in your thoughts and 

prayers. 

We had a “pogonip” day in Wasta 

Thursday, December 13th. Several 

Wall Lube & 

Espresso Bar 

years ago the Farmer’s Almanac 

wrote of December Pogonip Days 

so curiosity led Faye Bryan to investigate 

and finally a friend in 

Iowa City came back with the answer! 

Pogonip is an Eastern Native 

American word for hoarfrost. 

So Friday, we’ll be having a Pogonip 

Party — with or without Pogonip! 

But it is Lloyd’s birthday so I 

guess he can have any kind of 

party he wants! He is, after all, 

mostely a grown up! 

Wasta’s Santa coordinator has 

confirmed that the big guy is on 

track to visit December, 22nd (Saturday) 

at the community hall in 

Wasta. Be there at 5:00 to carol 

through town and 6:30 for hot 

drinks and munchies, while we 

wait ever so patiently to hear that 

special hearty Ho Ho Ho coming 

through the door of the Wasta 

Community Hall. Okay? Wasta, 

December 22nd. 

Wishing you all a joyous and 

blessed Christmas. 

Have you remembered to look 

for those little miracles every day? 

As this wanderer didn’t get submitted 

Monday, we can cover the 

junior high and high school Christmas 

program, Monday, December 

17th. 

Ms. Christiansen put together 

another entertaining, enjoyable, 

and so very well done program. It 

was a treat to be in the audience! 

The band (sixth/seventh grade) 

set the pace with Christmas favorites 

that your ears and heart 

welcome. Madison Grenstiner is 

with the sixth grade band on percussion. 

Eighth through twelfth graders 

had their turn and kept our attention 

and toes tapping with some 

more modern selections. Autumn 

Deering did a good job representing 

Wasta, but we’ve never quite 

relinquished Emily Ferris to Wall 

so we claim two girls here — and 

thank you. 

Chorus: seventh and eighth 

grade took over, Madi Grenstiner 

and Emily Ferris, three selections, 

my favorite “Silver Bells” but fun 

to have the light hearted “Jingle 

Bell Rock” to get toes tapping and 

guys, Austin Carter and Austin 

Crawford seemed to enjoy Feliz 

Navidad. 

The evening was polished off 

with the chorus composed of high 

school, ninth through twelfth 

graders and again four selections 

each made unique by Ms. Christiansen 

— ‘Themes on Fa-La-La” 

so entertaining and the long standing 

favorite, “Silent Night” capped 

the wonderfully perfect (to my 

ears) evening. Kelly Green, Will 

Houseman and Dylan Carter lent 

their talents here and we thank 

you! 

Caitlin Ausmann, granddaughter 

of Dorothy Bathel, was in band 

and chorus and we thank you! 

No excuses for not being full of 

Christmas spirit! 

Remember Wasta Community 

Hall, Saturday, the 22nd, 5:00 p.m. 

for caroling, 6:30 for Santa. 

How beautiful is this morning! 

We eagerly open curtains for December 

sunshine as we quickly 

close for shade in July! 

Well, Feliz Navidad to all and 

Happy Trails!

Ida Mae “Patty” Patterson, age 

80, of Kadoka, S.D., died Tuesday, 

December 11, 2012, at the Hans P. 

Peterson Memorial Hospital in 

Philip, surrounded by her children, 

grandchildren, and greatgrandchildren. 

Ida Mae Shoemaker was born 

December 1, 1932, in Pierre, the 

daughter of Rollie and Eva (McKean) 

Shoemaker. She attended 

country school and graduated from 

Philip High School. One of Patty’s 

fondest memories is the old Cozy 

Hotel, which her parents owned 

and operated in Philip. 

Ida Mae married Jerry Patterson 

in 1949, and to this union were 

born six children Robert, Sharon, 

Grant, Scott, Cindy and Tammy. 

Patty’s children recall the many 

times she would take a load of children 

to baseball games. She didn’t 

want to deprive anyone of a ride. 

Ida Mae moved to Rapid City in 

1964, where she worked and decided 

to further her education, 

graduating from National College 

of Business. She relocated to Denver 

and worked for the U.S. Life 

and Title Company, and worked 

weekends as a waitress, for many 

years. 

Being close to the sports life 

through her children, Ida Mae developed 

a love for football and became 

a big fan of the Denver Broncos. 

She was actually able to meet 

many of the players of the Denver 

Broncos team through her waitressing 

at the Elks Club. Wanting 

to be closer to her children and 

grandchildren, she moved back to 

Kadoka in 1990. 

In 1990, Patty went to work at 

her family’s business (Discount 

Fuel) as secretary/treasurer, and 

worked side by side, with Grant 

and Tammy, for 13 years before ill 

health forced Patty to retire. 

Patty enjoyed living at the family 

farm where she enjoyed the 

openness and could spend time 

with her cats. Patty enjoyed the 

Kadoka area and being able to 

spend time with her children, 

grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. 

For health reasons, Patty had to 

leave the farm moving to the 

Senechal Hotel and then to the Silverleaf 

Assisted Living Center in 

Philip. She was an avid Philip 

Scotties fan and would sometimes 

feel like she was betraying the 

team if she sat on Kadoka’s side 

during a basketball game, but 

being her grandsons and granddaughters 

played for Kadoka, she 

was biased to her family’s team. 

She then moved to the Kadoka 

Nursing Home where she has been 

living until our Lord took her 

home to be with her other loving 

family who preceded her in death. 

Patty was a member of the Presbyterian 

Church, Cancer Society, 

and the Arbor Association. 

Ida Mae “Patty” will always be 

remembered as being a wonderful 

loving mother and grandmother 

whom loved each and everyone of 

her children, grandchildren, and 

great-grandchildren, whom she 

was so proud of. 

Survivors include her six children 

Robert Patterson of Kadoka, 

Sharon Bebout of Las Vegas, Nev., 

Grant Patterson and his wife, 

Susan, of Kadoka, Scott Patterson 

and his wife, Arla, of Kadoka; 

Cindy VanderMay and her husband,

Jessie Tibbs Keckler______________________________ 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jessie Tibbs Keckler, 68, of 

Eagle Butte, SD passed away on 

November 29, 2012 at Pierre, S.D. 

Jessie Tibbs was born in Pierre, 

S.D. on November 10, 1944, one of 

five children of Esther "Boyd" 

Tibbs and Ancel Tibbs. She attended 

rural schools until eighth 

grade when she moved in with her 

grandmother and attended Stanley 

County High School, where she 

graduated. She attended Black 

Hills State University where she 

received her degree in education. 

She married her husband of 46 

years, Jerry Keckler, on August 18, 

1966 in Pierre, SD. 

Jessie then began her 39-year 

teaching career with the CEB 

School System. Upon her diagnosis 

of pancreatic cancer she retired in 

2010 to spend time with her family. 

Jessie was a founding board 

member of the Casey Tibbs Foundation 

and her greatest accomplishment 

was seeing the doors 

open to the South Dakota Rodeo 

Center. 

Jessie attended the Emanuel 

Lutheran Church in Eagle Butte 

and was a member of the United 

Church of Christ of Eagle Butte. 

There she taught Sunday School 

and Vacation Bible School for 

many years and was the youth 

group advisor for twenty years. 

Jessie's greatest joy was spending 

time with her grandchildren. 

They were the twinkle in her eye. 

Jessie was preceded in death by 

THE FATHER OF BELIEVERS 

By Pastor Cornelius R. Stam 

“Abraham believed God and it was 

counted unto him for righteousness” (Rom. 

4:3). 

Has it ever occurred to you that the most loved, the 

most honored, the most respected person of all history 

is — not Christ, but Abraham. Christ ought to be most 

loved, honored and respected, but Abraham is. Besides 

the millions of professing Christians there are untold 

millions of Jews and Mohammedans who speak 

with reverance of “our father Abraham.” 

Clearly this is why God used this man to show how 

to be saved and justified before a holy God. As Paul is 

God’s great example of grace, so Abraham is God’s 

great example of faith — saving faith. 

“If Abraham were justified by works,” says Rom. 4:2, 

he has something to boast about — but not before 

God, who sees and knows all. But Abraham was justified. 

How? “What saith the Scripture? Abraham believed 

God and it was counted to him for righteousness” 

(Ver. 3). 

God, of course, had planned salvation through the 

redemptive work of Christ and has always saved anyone 

who simply trusts Him and takes Him at His Word. 

Since Abraham, of course, more of God’s Word has 

been revealed and we know the details of Christ’s 

death for sinners. If we now take God at His Word and 

simply trust Christ as Savior we are completely justified, 

for salvation is not; cannot be, by works: 

“But to him that worketh not but believeth 

on Him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is 

counted for righteousness” (Rom. 4:5). 

“…through this Man is preached unto you 

the forgiveness of sins, and by Him all that believe 

are justified from all things, from which 

ye could not be justified by the law of Moses” 

(Acts 13:38,39).

Lady Eagles 3-1 for the season 

By Assistant Coach Kier 

On December 6, 2012 the Wall 

Lady Eagles kicked off their basketball 

season by playing the 

Philip Scotties. The Eagles took 

the win with a 45 to 22 final score. 

Autumn Schulz led the way with 

ranking in 10 points, followed by 

Sadie O'Rourke and Carlee Johnston 

with nine as well as Josie Blasius 

with eight. 

Schulz, also led the team in total 

rebounds as she came down with a 

whopping 17, followed by Blasius 

with nine. 

"The girls started off their season 

with such a tenacity and drive, 

that it was very fun basketball to 

watch, coach, and to be a part of. 

We have a bright season ahead, 

and with such great leadership 

and drive, good things are bound 

to happen," adds Coach Hess.

On December 13, 2012 the Lady

off against the Harding County 

Ranchers. 

The Junior Varsity team started 

off the night with a win as the final 

score reached 36 to 17. 

Katy Bielmaier led the young 

team with 10 points followed by 

Monica Bielmaier with nine 

points. 

Emily Linn guided the team in 

rebounds as she tallied five rebounds 

for herself as well as Monica

Coach Kier. 

The Varsity Eagles also came 

away with a win against the 

Ranchers with an ending score of 

59 to 42. 

"The girls played an extremely 

fast paced and yet intense game, it 

is exactly what we have been practicing 

for at each practice thus far," 

said Coach Hess. 

Johnston was the leader in scoring 

as she ranked herself 16 points 

followed by O'Rourke with 15, and 

Blasius and Schulz both with nine 

points apiece. 

Blasius and Schulz also led the 

team in rebounds as each earned 

themselves 11 total boards. 

"The Ranchers came out to the 

floor with an extreme drive and intensity, 

and our girls quickly had 

to adjust to that type of game. 

The girls did a great job hustling 

and getting after things, and it 

shows as we stole the ball 13 times 

from the hands of the Ranchers," 

added Coach Hess.

On December 14, 2012 the Lady 

Eagles made a second long road 

trip to Murdo to play Jones County 

in a double header. 

The girls Junior Varsity started 

off the day with a close game ending 

in a loss of a final score of 19 to 

25. 

Josie Blasius led the team in 

points with seven. Monica Bielmaier 

was the team's leader in rebounding 

as she earned herself 

four followed by Katy Bielmaier 

and Blasius with three rebounds a 

piece. 

"The girls unfortunately got 

their first loss of the season. 

However, each game, win or loss, 

is a learning experience, and with 

this game the girls learned that 

each time we step onto the basketball 

court; we need to be ready to 

play with the same (or more) intensity 

and focus as previous 

games. 

As we cannot let outside factors 

determine how we play the game," 

added Coach Kier. 

The Varsity Lady Eagles played 

a short time later that day with a 

heart wrenching, close game, 

which ended in their first loss of 

the season with a final score of 54 

to 55. 

Schulz, a senior, led the Eagles 

in points with 14 points, followed 

by Johnston, a sophomore, with 13 

and Blasius, a freshman, with10 

points. 

Blasius also led the team in rebounds 

as she earned herself 11 

total boards. 

"This game has left a sour taste 

in our mouths. The girls played 

such a hard game, and unfortunately, 

we let Jones County come 

back to win by just one point in 

just the last few minutes of the 

game. 

The girls were exhausted after 

being on the road two nights in a 

row, but they did not let that show 

while they were playing. 

Overall, they played another 

tough game, and they have that 

"hunger" inside of them that will 

help them walk away from this 

loss a better and yet stronger team 

as we face our next opponent," said 

Coach Hess.

Eagles come back in fourth 

quarter to win over Jones Co. 

By Coach Kent Anderson 

C Wall Eagles team vs. Philip 

The boys basketball season 

opened Friday, December 7, as the 

Wall Eagles faced the Philip Scotties. 

Due to numbers and time, we 

were fortunate to have a C and JV 

game. This allowed us to have 

more young players get some floor 

time in game situations. 

In the C game the Eagles competed 

well but fell by the score of 

12 to 26. 

The young Eagles trailed from 

the beginning but always played 

hard. 

Leading the way for the C - team 

were Riley Fortune and David 

Sykora with five points each. 

Both of them made a three-pointer 

and a two-point field goal. 

Danny Muzik also scored a basket 

to round off the scoring. 

Other members of the C - team 

were Rylee Schreiber, Camden 

Sawvell, Alex Tysdal, July Kammerer, 

Austin Huether, and Dusty 

Dartt. 

JV Wall Eagles vs. Philip 

The junior varsity team took the 

floor in the second of three games 

that night. Although the game was 

close the entire game, the Eagles 

lost it at the end by the score of 31 

It took nine days, but Oelrichs 

barrel racer Lisa Lockhart won a 

prestigious round and $18,257 at 

the 10-day, $6 million Wrangler 

National Finals Rodeo in Las 

Vegas. The night prior, she had 

reached the milestone of $1 million 

By Coach Dinger 

The Wall Eagles boys’ basketball 

team dominated the first quarter 

Friday night in Murdo when they 

jumped out to a 22-12 lead. 

The Eagles found themselves in 

foul trouble in the second quarter, 

but they were able to maintain a 

slight lead at halftime 39-36. 

The momentum turned in the 

third quarter in favor of Jones 

County as the Coyotes rallied back 

to take a 45-51 lead by the end of 

the quarter. 

In the fourth quarter, the Eagles 

found themselves in foul trouble 

with three starters with four fouls 

each. 

Trevor Anderson fouled out with 

six minutes to go in the game and 

that’s when Tyler Peterson came 

off the bench to spark the Eagle’s 

comeback. 

The team never gave up and 

they recognized that Peterson had 

the hot hand and continued to feed 

him the ball until the Eagle’s had 

a 63-60 lead. 

Peterson finished the night with 

a last second put back with less 

than a second to play to give the 

Eagle’s a 65-60 victory. 

Peterson finished the game 

going six - six from the field, one - 

two from the free throw line, four 

rebounds, and three steals. 

Peterson and Tyler Trask were 

the leading scorers for the Eagles 

with 13 points each, while Tucker 

O’Rourke and Clancy Lytle had 12 

points and 11 points respectively. 

Lytle’s hot free throw shooting 

was also a key to the team win as 

he was six - six from the line and 

he also led the team with five assist. 

Trevor Anderson added nine 

points, while Lane Hustead finished 

with four points to contribute 

to the team win. 

O’Rourke lead the Eagle’s with 

eight rebounds, while Laketon 

McLaughlin finished the game 

with six rebounds. 

The team was 23-61 from the 

field for 38 percent and 14-23 from 

the free throw line for 61 percent. 

I am very proud of how well the 

team played together and they didn’t 

panic after losing an early 10 

point lead and trailed by eight 

points early in the fourth quarter, 

before they rallied to a five point 

victory.

Wall Eagels C and JV 

teams basketball results 

to 38. The Eagles JV led by six 

after one and three at halftime. At 

the end of the third we trailed by 

two. 

Many players rotated throughout 

the game and received quality 

time. There were many positives 

offensively and defensively. 

Muzik led the Eagles with 11 

points. Ben Linn had seven and CJ 

Schulz added six. Ryder Wilson 

had three points, Carson Johnston 

and Huether rounded out the scoring 

with two points each. 

JV Wall Eagles vs. Edgemont 

The Eagles faced the Edgemont 

Moguls on Saturday, December 8, 

at Edgemont. 

The JV team was able to even 

their record as they defeated the 

Moguls by the score of 32 to 26. 

Once again Muzik led the JV 

with 10 points. Ben Linn had six, 

Wilson and Dartt each had four 

points. Johnston, Schulz, Huether, 

and Schreiber each had two points. 

All 13 boys saw action in the 

night. We played hard and competitively 

the entire game. It was nice 

to rebound the next day with a 

win. 

Next Action for the JV will be at 

Jones County on Friday, December 

14. 

Oelrichs cowgirl wins 

big at Wrangler NFR 

in earnings through her 12-year 

career. 

“When you really put things in 

perspective and see the stats on 

how few have reached that level, it 

makes it that much more sweet to 

know it’s a very elite group,” said 

Lockhart. “I’m honored.” 

Only the top 15 contestants in 

each of seven events qualify for 

rodeo’s Super Bowl, which kicked 

off in UNLV’s Thomas and Mack 

Center on Dec. 6 and wraps up December 

15. 

Lockhart, a wife and mother of 

three, is competing in her sixth 

straight Wrangler NFR. Riding a 

horse she calls Louie, 47-year-old 

Lockhart raced around the cloverleaf 

pattern in 13.66 seconds for 

the win, which brought her total 

NFR earnings to $63,409. 

Lockhart entered the NFR in 

fourth place in the world championship 

standings and, aside from a 

penalty she took in Round Two for 

a tipped barrel, she’s placed in 

every round but one. Still, she 

trails leader Mary Walker by 

nearly $100,000 and has no chance 

at a gold buckle this year. 

“You come in here hoping you 

can have the rodeo you’re capable 

of having,” said Lockhart. “Sometimes 

you do and sometimes you 

don’t. It happens to all of us; it’s a 

roller coaster. I’m thrilled it’s 

turned out as good as it has.” 

With one more solid run Saturday 

night, she has a chance to earn 

$46,821 in addition to the nightly 

first-place money of $18,257.

Philip Area wrestlers took a trip 

down to Valentine, Neb., for a 

chance to test themselves against 

top teams from that state as well 

as two other South Dakota schools. 

Head coach Matt Donnelly noted 

that the tournament did not go as 

good as expected. “We had some 

wrestlers who did not wrestle as 

well as expected,” he said. The 126 

and 145 pound weight classes were 

not filled, one due to an injury. 

Reed Johnson, who typically 

wrestles at 152 pounds, is out due 

to a cartiledge injury. “Hopefully 

he’ll be back in two weeks,” Donnelly 

said. Lane Blasius moved up 

from the 145 pound class to fill 

Johnson’s spot. 

Philip Area followed only 

Pierre’s T.F. Riggs High School in 

the final team standings. In order 

of points were Pierre (191.5), 

Philip (141), Valentine (131.5), 

Plattsmouth, (127), Winner, S.D. 

(100), Ord (90), O’Neill (86.5), 

Chadron (85.5), David City (82.5), 

Alliance (64), Ainsworth (39.5), 

Gordon/Rush-ville (35), McCook 

(30), and Broken Bow (10).

The grapplers will focus on improving 

their performance as they 

have an extra week between 

meets. 

Donnelly felt the wrestlers took 

a step backward and were not focusing 

on what was ahead of them; 

were living off last week’s accomplishment. 

They will travel to Salem for Mc- 

Cook Central-Montrose’s tournament 

on December 29. Donnelly 

noted that it was going to “be a dog 

fight all the way around.” Philip is 

the lone West River team traveling 

east to take on the East River 

teams. 

Great ways to 

save on home 

energy bills 

This winter, don’t let your windows 

keep you out in the cold. 

According to the American Institute 

of Architects, windows are the 

primary source of heat loss in 

houses. To keep your house warm 

and energy bills down, caulk 

around windows, door frames, and 

other trim, while using weather 

stripping to seal drafty doors. And 

don’t forget to close fireplace 

dampers. 

Planting trees and bushes 

around your house will help block 

out cold winter winds. This will 

help keep energy costs down and 

make your yard look great too. 

Finally, don’t forget to fix leaky 

faucets. Even minor leaks increase 

energy consumption and electricity 

bills.

FOCUS ON THE FAMILY 

with Dr. James 

Dobson 

Dr. Dobson Answers 

your Questions 

QuESTioN: I got married because 

I was in love with my 

spouse. I wasn't figuring on the 

rest of her family becoming a 

major part of my life as well. Exactly 

what are my obligations to 

my in-laws? Can you help me 

gain a clearer understanding of 

that relationship? 

ANSWER: It doesn't sound like 

you have a very warm or relaxed 

relationship with your in-laws. As 

a matter of fact, you seem to regard 

them as a burden. Perhaps 

you feel caught between trying to 

please them (or avoiding offense) 

on the one hand, and just wanting 

to be yourself and have your own 

"space" on the other. Whatever 

the specifics of your situation, we 

think it's unfortunate that you 

feel this way. But we're also 

aware that your experience is 

fairly common. 

What's your obligation to your 

in-laws? If you're a Christian, you 

owe them behavior that's consistently 

Christian in character. You 

may not like them, but you need 

to choose to act in a loving manner 

toward them. They may be 

difficult people. On the other 

hand, it's important to realize 

that they may be controlling and 

manipulative, emotionally dysfunctional 

or hostile to your faith; 

that they're connected to your 

 

 

 

 

 

 

spouse through genetics, history 

and a complex set of psychological 

dynamics. 

Like it or not, they're also connected 

to you. When you married, 

you also became part of another 

family with its own set of values, 

traditions and expectations. If 

you love your spouse, you need to 

recognize and respect those expectations 

— within limits, of 

course. 

In certain instances — for example, 

if you feel your in-laws are 

intruding into your married life 

— the old saying, "Good fences 

make good neighbors," may apply. 

If this is your situation, you and 

your spouse need to come to a 

meeting of the minds and establish 

some reasonable boundaries. 

Once those boundaries have been 

communicated clearly, it's essential 

that you stand together in enforcing 

them. It would be a big 

mistake to let your in-laws come 

between you. 

What are some of the limits you 

can set to protect your marriage 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

from negative interference from 

members of your extended families? 

Here are three things that 

"honoring" your in-laws does not 

mean: 

1. It doesn't require that you 

submerge all your own feelings, 

desires, preferences and needs in 

order to "do things their way." 

2. It doesn't mean that you 

must permit them to disrespect, 

control or manipulate you for 

their own selfish ends. 

3. It doesn't entail "obeying" all 

their "parental" requests or requirements 

— which, in some instances 

and with some in-laws, 

may get pretty crazy. 

In-law conflicts grow more complicated 

when a spouse seems to 

side with his or her parents 

against his or her mate. This isn't 

so much an in-law problem as a 

marital problem. If one spouse remains 

too dependent upon his or 

her parents, that needs to be addressed 

in a straightforward way. 

If one spouse is blaming the inlaws 

for a disagreement the couple 

is experiencing, that should be 

dealt with, too. 

QuESTioN: Our child complains 

about everything and seldom 

seems happy. His negative 

attitude is affecting his school 

work, and I'm sure it's hurting his 

ability to make friends as well. 

What can we do to help him develop 

a more positive outlook on 

life? 

ANSWER: The first step is to 

try to understand where this negativity 

might be coming from. 

There are several possible 

sources. You know your child better 

than anyone else, and as a result 

you’re probably in the best 

position to determine which of the 

following profiles describes his 

situation most accurately. 

Sometimes a negative attitude 

can be rooted in a child’s natural 

inborn temperament. Some kids 

are easy-going; others find it difficult 

to adapt to change. Some 

are aggressive and domineering 

while others tend to be quiet, shy, 

and retiring. In the same way, 

certain children have a naturally 

sunny disposition while others 

are inclined to focus on the bleak 

side of life. The first group sees 

the glass as half full, the second 

as half empty. Many studies indicate 

that there is a strong genetic 

component to these temperamental 

differences. This is a factor 

you’ll want to consider carefully 

as you attempt to get a handle on 

your son’s attitude and behavior. 

The four “humors” of Hippocratic 

medicine and medieval psychology— 

choleric (dominant, passionate, 

idealistic), sanguine 

(courageous, hopeful, lighthearted, 

social), phlegmatic (rational, 

calm, unemotional, 

steady), and melancholy (moody, 

introspective, despondent)—while 

not strictly “scientific” in the modern 

sense, can provide helpful categories 

for thinking about distinctive 

personality types. Christian 

writers like Tim Lahaye ( The 

Spirit-controlled Temperament) 

and Gary Smalley and John Trent 

( Making Love Last Forever; 

Chapter 10, “Understanding Personality 

Types”) have made good 

use of them in this regard. It’s 

possible that your son simply has 

a classic melancholy temperament. 

But while temperament and genetics 

may play an important role 

in a case like this, environmental 

influences can also be determinative. 

To put it another way, kids 

can learn to be negative from the 

people around them. If mom and 

dad are serious about dealing 

with this problem, they should 

begin by asking themselves some 

honest questions. Could it be that 

they have modeled this kind of attitude 

and behavior for their children? 

Even if you don’t see yourself 

as negative now, is it possible 

that either you or your spouse 

might have been depressed or 

struggling through a particularly 

low point in life while your son 

was an infant and a toddler? If 

not, could it be that you’ve made 

the mistake of reinforcing his 

negativity by giving in to his complaints 

and coddling him? Perhaps 

you did this when he was 

younger and are only now seeing 

the results. 

Whether the problem is primarily 

temperamental or environmental 

in origin, you can address 

it by making some changes in 

your parenting style and methods. 

Concentrate on extinguishing 

your child’s penchant for complaining 

by ignoring him when 

he’s negative. Don’t give in to his 

dark mood. Don’t lavish him with 

attention when he starts moaning 

and groaning about something. If 

he talks in bleak terms about his 

day at school or the birthday 

party he attended or some activity 

in which he’s just taken part, 

tell him you’re sorry he feels that 

way and then go about your business. 

Don’t prolong the discussion. 

Just move on. 

On the other hand, when your 

son says anything remotely positive 

or displays the slightest bit of 

enthusiasm, you should reinforce 

this behavior by smiling, praising 

him, and letting him know how 

much you appreciate his upbeat 

attitude. You could even begin rewarding 

him for positive statements 

and behavior by putting up 

a star chart on the refrigerator 

door and adding a sticker every 

time he says or does something 

that brightens your day. 

That said, there is another possibility 

you should probably consider. 

There’s a chance that your 

son’s negative attitude could be 

explained in terms of physical 

and biological factors. There is a 

psychiatric condition called dysthymia, 

which is actually a longterm, 

low-grade depression. It’s 

often characterized by a low energy 

level, a lack of interest in 

life, and even a chronic negative 

outlook.

whittling down their debt load. If 

you’re in this group, you may now 

have a chance to use your lower 

level of indebtedness to your advantage 

— by investing for the future. 

Consider the numbers: In 2007, 

just before the financial crisis, the 

country’s household debt service 

ratio was about 14 percent. (The 

debt service ratio is the ratio of 

debt payments, including mortgages 

and consumer debt, to disposable 

personal income.) But by 

2012, this figure had dipped below 

11 percent, the lowest level since 

1994. 

These figures are national averages, 

but they do translate into 

real-life savings for many of us. If 

you’re in this group — that is, if 

you’ve lowered your debt payments 

noticeably — what should 

you do with this “found” money? 

Of course, you could spend it on 

material objects, which, in some 

cases, may make your life more 

pleasant today. But you’d probably 

be better off by devoting your financial 

resources to your goals for 

tomorrow, such as college for your 

children and, eventually, a comfortable 

retirement lifestyle for 

yourself. 

Consequently, you want may 

want to consider these suggestions: 

•Increase your contributions to 

your retirement plan. Try to put 

more money into your employersponsored 

retirement plan, such as 

a 401(k), 403(b) or 457(b). Your 

contributions are typically made 

with pretax dollars, so the more 

you invest, the lower your taxable 

income. Plus, your earnings can 

grow on a tax-deferred basis. 

•Fully fund your IRA. You can 

put in up to $5,000 per year (as of 

2012) to a traditional or Roth IRA, 

or $6,000 if you’re 50 or older. A 

traditional IRA grows tax-deferred, 

while a Roth IRA can grow 

tax-free, provided you meet certain 

conditions. 

•Fill in “gaps” in your financial 

strategy. With a little extra money 

each month, can you find ways to 

fill in the “gaps” in your financial 

strategy? For example, do you 

have sufficient life insurance and 

disability income insurance? Or 

can you add some investments 

that can help diversify your overall 

portfolio? While diversification 

can’t guarantee profits or protect 

against loss, it can help reduce the 

effects of volatility on your holdings. 

•Build an emergency fund. It’s a 

good idea to build an emergency 

fund containing six to 12 months’ 

worth of living expenses. Without 

such a fund, you may be forced to 

dip into long-term investments to 

pay for unexpected costs, such as a 

large bill from the doctor or a 

major car repair. Keep the money 

in a liquid, low-risk account. 

•Establish a 529 plan. If you 

have children or grandchildren 

whom you would like to help get 

through college, you might want to 

contribute to a 529 plan. Your 

earnings grow tax-free, provided 

withdrawals are used for qualified 

higher education expenses. Plus, 

your contributions may be deductible 

from your state taxes. (Be 

aware, though, that withdrawals 

used for purposes other than qualified 

education expenses may be 

subject to federal and state taxes, 

plus a 10% penalty.) 

Reducing your debt level can remove 

some stress from your life. 

And you’ll gain even more benefits 

from debt reduction by using your 

savings to speed your progress toward 

your important financial 

goals.

to the Lease-Purchase Agreement

thereto. Vote: Unanimous. 

RESOLUTION RELATING 

TO LEASE-PURCHASE 

AGREEMENT 

BE IT RESOLVED by the 

County Commissioners of Pennington 

County (the "Issuer"), 

as follows: 

Section 1. It is hereby determined 

that it is necessary and 

desirable to enter into the 

Lease-Purchase Agreement 

(the "Lease"), with Motorola 

Solutions, Inc., as Lessor in an 

amount not to exceed 

$1,266,037 attached hereto as 

Exhibit A for the purposes 

therein specified with changes 

to be approved by the Chairman

the Lease as "qualified 

tax-exempt obligations" for purposes 

of Section 265(b)(3) of 

the Internal Revenue Code of 

1986, as amended (the 

"Code"). The Issuer reasonably 

anticipates that the 

amount of tax-exempt obligations 

(other than private activity 

bonds as defined in Section 

141 of the Code, treating qualified 

501(c)(3) bonds as not 

being private activity bonds) 

which will be issued by the Issuer 

(and all entities subordinate 

to, or treated as one issuer 

with, the Issuer) during 

this calendar year 2012 will not 

exceed $10,000,000. The Issuer 

has not designated more 

than $10,000,000 of obligations 

issued by the Issuer during 

this calendar year 2012 for 

purposes of Section 265(b)(3) 

of the Code. 

Section 3. The Lease is 

hereby made a part of this 

Resolution and is hereby approved 

in the form submitted to 

this meeting and the Chairman 

is authorized and directed to 

execute, acknowledge and deliver 

the Lease on behalf of the 

Issuer with such changes, insertions 

and omissions therein 

as do not change the substance 

of the Lease, such approval 

to be evidenced conclusively 

by his execution of the 

Lease. 

Section 4. The Chairman 

and all other officers of the Issuer 

are hereby authorized and 

directed to execute all other 

documents which may be required 

under the terms of the 

Lease and to take such action 

as may be required or appropriate 

for the performance of 

the duties imposed thereby or 

to carry out the purposes 

thereof. In the absence or disability 

of the Chairman any 

other officer of the Issuer may 

execute the Lease or other 

document. The execution of 

any document by any officer of 

the Issuer shall be conclusive 

evidence of its approval.

(All action taken in the following minutes 

carried by unanimous vote unless otherwise 

stated.) 

Motion by Leonard, second by M Anderson 

to approve agenda. Motion carried. 

The police report was given by Captain 

Corey Brubakken. Request for business 

checks last month has been added to the 

reporting list. In regard to the deputy 

hired for our area, he has completed 

academy training and departure from 

FTO program mid-January. Sheriff’s office 

administration is doing some reassignments; 

Captain Evenson will replace 

Cpt. Corey Brubakken, who is moving to 

criminal investigations. 

Dustin Willett – Pennington County Emergency 

Director addressed the council on 

the following items: 

1) Update on pre-disaster mitigation 

plan – the plan is complete and once 

state approves, it then goes to Washington 

for approval from FEMA. Upon approval 

mitigation dollars would be available 

in a 75% County and 25% City 

matching grant program. 

2) Some public warning sirens some 

run off solar panels; however some are 

not as reliable as they could be. The 

2013 budget will allow for solar panel 

sirens be hooked up to shore power. 

There is currently no formal agreement 

between municipalities and Pennington 

County Emergency Management 

(PCEM) for sirens. Maintenance work 

cannot be performed by PCEM until a 

siren contract is in place. 

3) Storm mitigation planning involves 

other funding sources include public shelters 

grants or Homeland Security grants. 

The Wall School would like to be part of 

the discussion as they have showers, 

kitchen and large gym that would be helpful 

in times of needing a large emergency 

shelter. In 2010 the school had received 

quotes for generators; to run minimum 

lights – 250kW generator, $155,000 installed, 

to run full system - 400 kW 

$170,000 completely installed. 

H-C Galloways with well monitoring systems 

reported that some of components 

in the well system are reaching end of life 

and some are obsolete, with communications 

being the main problem. An optimal 

option would be to replace the entire communications 

system to a wireless system 

utilizing IP communications costing 

$58,000. This would be low end cost with 

prices expected to increase 5-8% in 

2013. Motions by S Anderson, second by 

Hustead to approve doing the optimal 

well monitoring system option at a cost of 

approximately $58,000, by eliminating a 

water main project planned for 2013; and 

use the funding towards this. Motion carried. 

HC Galloway will have a quote to 

the city next week. 

Ted Schultz with Cetec gave an update 

on the Lagoon project. 

Cell #1 has an average of one foot of 

sludge or more in the NW corner of the 

lagoon. With some aeration and oxygen 

injection, some of that sludge can disintegrate. 

It would be much cheaper to add 

a $50,000 aerator pump rather than a 

sludge removal project. This could be an 

option to the lagoon project which is estimated 

currently at a price at $815,000. 

Ted proposes that the primary project be 

bid separately from the pump contract. 

Discussion was held on what part of the 

project to go with due to problems with financing. 

It will be necessary to cut some 

things out of the 2013 budget to do these 

projects: sewer, aeration, and new well 

monitoring system. Finance Officer (FO) 

Anderson will calculate an increase in 

wastewater fees to see what would be 

necessary to generate approximately 

$25,000.00 in revenue. Aeration topic 

was tabled until the next meeting where 

more accurate bids would be in hand. 

Kiraan operator of Wall Discount Outlet 

was proposing a fence in the back of his 

building, due to illegal parking and trash 

issues. Their intention is not to crowd 

property lines, but to keep in line with existing 

buildings. The required distance 

from the alleyway and the height of the 

fence was explained. Kiraan was in 

agreement of the City ordinances. Motion 

by Hustead, second by Morgan to approve 

the fence with acceptance of your 

neighbors and work closely with Jeff 

Clark. Motion carried. 

Motion by S Anderson, second by M Anderson 

to waive the rubble fees for a mobile 

home by Wall Drug from the trailer 

court. Motion carried with Hustead abstaining 

from the vote. 

Discussion was held concerning the ambulance 

district lease agreement. FO Anderson 

noted that the electric bill could be 

transferred to the ambulance district and 

they could then bill the fire department accordingly. 

Motion by M Anderson, second by S Anderson 

to approve change in electric bill 

effective January 1, 2013. Motion carried. 

Motion by Dunker, second by Hustead to 

approve ambulance lease agreement. 

Motion carried. 

The contractor has larger bolts for the 

Main Street lights that will be installed

Public Works Director (PWD) Clark gave 

an update on well #7: A used motor From 

Weston Engineering for $10,000 is available, 

but would need a new seal section 

at approximately $12,000. A new motor 

would be $30,000.00 with a one year warranty. 

No warranty is on a used motor, but 

Weston would warranty the cost for installation 

of either motor. At this time, well 7 

is the only one with a backup generator if 

there was no electricity due to weather, 

however; WRLJ is installing generators at 

each well. A decision of Well #7 repairs 

will be delayed until PWD Clark can find 

out if Weston has changed suppliers to a 

more reliable motor. Another factor is 

when WRLJ will be done with installing 

generators. 

Motion by Hustead, second by S Anderson 

to delay decision until Dec. 28th 

meeting and see if Weston can find a different 

supplier for the motors. Motion carried.
