Election for School Board to be held June 5
Wall School will be holding an election on Tuesday, June 5. There are three incumbents and one candidate running for three positions for the school board. Scot Eisenbraun who is the current school board president, Pam Johnson vice-president, Todd Trask and Angela Lytle. Incumbent and candidates answered questions concerning themselves and how they would serve on the Wall School Board My name is Pam Johnson and I have been married to Dick Johnson for 24 years. We moved to Wall in 1998, and I truly believe we made a great move for our family. We have two daughters, both graduating from Wall High School, and both attending South Dakota State University. I work at First Interstate Bank and been on the Wall School Board for six years. What motivates you to want to become a board member or want to retain your seat on the school board? I made the decision to run again for the Board of Education because of the continual budget concerns we have. I feel I am fiscally minded, and with my experience, I can help make these difficult decisions. Also, with the uncertainty in the Impact Aid program, we need to keep a very close eye on where all the dollars are going. We cannot continue to expect to live off of Impact Aid to balance our budget. What attributes are essential for successful school board members? In order to be a good board member, a person should be able to step back and look at the whole picture and stay neutral until you have sufficient knowledge to make an educated decision based on what is best for the students, staff and public. The Board needs to work together with the Administration in problem solving and support the decisions that are made. Being a good board member shouldn’t mean micro-managing every decision that needs to be made; that is why the School Board hires the superintendent. And above all, keep the children first. The Board is there to make sure the children are provided the best education possible with the tools they have to work with. What do you see as the board's roles and responsibilities? The Board of Education has several functions, such as hiring the superintendent, overseeing development of and upholding the district policies the Board has approved, adopting and staying within the budget, and overseeing the facilities and curriculum. Board members need to work together as a team with the superintendent to make decisions that are best for the students, district and community. What role does policy play/have in the functioning of the board? The development and enforcing of policy is one of the many functions of a school board. It is a constant work in progress and policies have to be updated as the school environment changes. Our Board does the majority of the policy changes in the summer months and invites any input. It is then the Administration’s job to enforce those policies. What is your vision for education in this community? My hope for the education in our community is that education would continue to be the most important reason for our children to go to school. I know that athletics and extra curricular activities are important for a well-rounded student, but we need to remember that education and academics must come first. Our school does a great job of preparing our children for post secondary education and beyond, but I would like to see our test scores continue to rise. What is the most important responsibility of a school board? I feel the most important responsibility of a school board is to maintain a good working relationship and have trust in the superintendent, provide a quality education for our children, and keep our budget in line. Can you think of any district expenses that should be cut? I feel that our district has cut as many expenses possible while still providing quality education to the children in our district. We cut our budget substantially two years ago and if we aren’t careful to continually monitor our spending, we could be back to where we started. I do feel we are going to have to think outside the box and find innovative ways to fund and provide education in these difficult times. board needs to make sure that policies are being updated with the changes that are occurring in the community, state and federal levels. The policies need to layout a clear plan for the administration to follow so that district intent, goals and objectives can be met. Clear policies also keep the community informed of what the district is trying to accomplish. What is your vision for education in this community? Right now I believe that our school is just barely meeting the state requirement for time spent in school. Considering how much instructional time the students miss because of extra-curricular activities and church release time, I feel that the district should move back to a five day week and still keep the same daily hours in school. I know that the school is required to let students out for religious instruction, but have parents ever realized that by sending their child to church school, the student is missing 1⁄4 of the instructional time for that subject for the year. That adds up to a lot of missed learning opportunity. I don’t want to do away with religious education by any means but maybe parents could talk to their church leaders and have the religious education time start an hour later in the afternoon. Two other things that have bothered me over the years are that sometimes teachers have students correct each others’ papers. I feel that this is the teacher’s responsibility. I believe that when teachers correct the papers they get feedback on what concepts the kids are having a hard time grasping. The second thing that bothers me is letting students retake a test or finish up a test at a later time if they didn’t have time in class to finish it. Students need to learn to study for their tests the first time around. They won’t get the opportunity in college to retake tests so why get them started on that thought process in high school. What is the most important responsibility of a school board? In my opinion the most important thing for the school board to do is provide all the students with the best learning environment possible with the resources that are available. Can you think of any district expenses that should be cut? I must admit that I haven’t seen a detailed balance sheet, so I don’t know right off of any expenditure that needs to be cut. However, I will say once again that it was an irresponsible use of school funds to pay John Hess an extra $1544.00 in addition to his regular coaching wages as the boys’ varsity coach and his wages as the girls’ varsity coach. The teachers aren’t paid extra for giving up their free time to plan and correct papers after school. John should not have been paid extra on top of his coaching salary for giving up his free time to coach two teams. I believe that the school board and superintendent wanted the community to think that if they didn’t give John the extra wages that the school wouldn’t have had a boy’s varsity basketball coach. However, I know that two other people inquired about the coaching position and neither was given an interview. I also strongly disagree with hiring a new football coach and creating a teaching position for him when the school already has three varsity level football coaches within the system. The $37,100.00 salary for this new teaching position could have been used elsewhere in the system. I also don’t know if this teaching and football coach position was advertised as being open in our district. I could be wrong but I believe the superintendent is required to advertise teaching positions that are open if he is not going to fill the position with current staff members. I think it is time to make some changes to the school board. What attributes are essential for successful school board members? To keep an open mind. What do you see as the board's roles and responsibilities? To help our executive staff to keep our school district at a high level of excellence. What role does policy play/have in the functioning of the board? The policy that we have in place helps guide our staff and board in the day-to-day operations of our district. What is your vision for education in this community? I think that our community is very blessed to have an administration and school staff whose primary goal is to keep improving and I would like to continue to be a part of that. What is the most important responsibility of a school board? To help and work with the adminstration. Can you think of any district expenses that should be cut? This would be a very tough call at the present time. I would hope we can continue to hold the line on our budget and not have to cut staff or courses. As everyone knows the biggest expense to any business is salary and as a board over the last couple of years we have had little or no increase other than what the State has passed on to us.
Angela Lytle
Tell us a little bit about yourself. I grew up on a ranch north of Rapid City. I attended high school in Sturgis and now have a B.S. in accounting. I currently live on a ranch with my husband of 21 years, Rusty Lytle. We have four sons; Dalton, Zeb, Kale, and Clancy. I’m very lucky to have been a stay-at-home mom. I think it was really important for me to be home with my kids so as to instill in them my values. Growing up I was involved in 4-H, FFA and Rodeo. I’m currently a member of the Wall Rodeo Booster Club, a 4-H leader, and I taught Catechism at St. Patrick’s church for several years. I enjoy sewing, reading, gardening and occasionally barrel racing. What motivates you to want to become a board member or want to retain your seat on the school board? I feel that it is important as a good citizen to not just complain about a problem but to jump in and help fix it. For the last few years it seems that the current school board has been doing things here and there that I don’t always feel is in the best interest of the students. I don’t like that they write a policy and then ignore it at times. An example of this is hosting an alcohol party for the graduates, when track and golf season was not over. This violates training rules. If you’re not going to follow a policy, why write it? I feel that some current board members are overstepping their boundaries by micromanaging and trying to do the job of the administration. When did it become the job of school board members and a community member to do the interviewing for positions in the school system? I thought that was the job of the administration. The final episode that made me decide to run for the school board happened last fall when some upper classmen beat up on some eighth graders with clubs and where punished by having to apologize. I would think the eighth graders don’t feel that justice was served. The bullies should have at the very least been removed from the football team. What attributes are essential for successful school board members? The SD School Board handbook lists fourteen attributes that they consider to be essential to being an effective board member. I agree with them and feel that I possess these attributes. I would approach the school board position with honesty, integrity, and a willingness to listen. I know that the decisions made should be best for all the students. Since I’m being elected to this position, I have to be open to discussing with the community what they want accomplished in the district. I won’t hold a grudge when I don’t agree with the other board members decisions. What do you see as the board’s roles and responsibilities? I see the role of the school board to be writing clear policies for the administration to enact, hiring a superintendent, adopting a budget, planning and goal setting for the school system, overseeing the school properties, and working with the superintendent and staff to set instructional policies. Last I believe that the board should always delegate the tasks of recruiting, recommending for hire, evaluating, promoting, and disciplining staff (in accordance with board policy) to the superintendent. What role does policy play/have in the functioning of the board? Policy writing is one of the most important things the school board will do. In order for the school district to run smoothly the school
Todd Trask
Tell us a little bit about yourself. I am a graduate of Wall High School and life long resident of the area. What motivates you to want to become a board member or want to retain your seat on the school board? I believe that everyone has a responsibility to give something back to the community they live in and try to make things better.
Scot Eisenbraun
Tell us a little bit about yourself. My name is Scot Eisenbraun, my wife Melody and I farm and ranch in the Wall area with our three boys; Tyrel (Freshman at Southwest Minnesota State University), Taran (Junior at Wall High School), and Tate (Sixth grader at Wall School). I am a member of the First Lutheran Church in Wall, and currently serve as President of the Church Council. What motivates you to want to become a board member or want to retain your seat on the school board? I have two children in the school system and I am very interested in their education as well as the education of all the students in our district. What attributes are essential for successful school board members? A person should be open minded, willing to listen and keep the best interests of the students top priority. What do you see as the board's roles and responsibilities? The board should set policies, watch the budget and do everything they can to ensure each student receives a good education. What role does policy play/have in the functioning of the board? The board sets policies and enforces them. What is your vision for education in this community? My vision for the community is to create the best and most educated students and ensure they have the best opportunities available to succeed in the future. What is the most important responsibility of a school board? The most important responsibility of a school board is to work together providing all the resources necessary to educate the students of our district. Can you think of any district expenses that should be cut? There are always places that can be cut but you have to carefully consider the impact it will have on the students and their education.

Local board hosts ASBSD director
by Del Bartels Members of the Haakon School District and the Wall School District boards of education met in Philip, Wednesday, May 16, to discuss finances, politics and other concerns. Wade Pogany, executive director of the Associated School Boards of South Dakota, headed the informational meeting. “My goal is to get a discussion going among board members; info gathering on thinking by board members and thinking out west here,” said Pogany. The ASBSD is putting its influence in support of the upcoming Initiated Measure 15, which would increase state general sales and use taxes for additional kindergarten through 12 public education and Medicaid funding. “As property tax keeps moving, at some point people say “No more,” said Pogany. “It’s creating an inequity issue – have and have nots – a real disparity. An opt-out is easier said than done. Would you rather have property taxes increase and spread over the state, or have a sales tax increase?” Mark Nelson, Haakon School District board member, said he cut. We’ve never been able to look to the future with money.” Pogany agreed, “Many school districts said at least the first two years would be needed to get them out of the hole.” Hamill said, “I agree, a lot of the mentality is the state has to provide for an adequate education. That depends on what you think is adequate.” Nelson said, “A lot of our younger teachers with no real ties to the community get three or four years experience, then move to a different state that pays a lot more.” The ASBSD addresses other legislative issues. Todd Trask, Wall School District board member, wants the ASBSD to back legislation that goes for “local control, with some teeth in it.” Trask would like school and public lands money to stay in the county where the land is. He would like Payments in Lieu of Taxes (PILT) funds – federal payments to local governments that help offset losses in property taxes due to nontaxable federal lands within their boundaries) that goes to counties to be split some way with schools. Pogany said, “But then you’re taking from other entities. That would be a hard hill to die on in a battle with county commissioners.” Nelson said, “Some people like the merit pay, but that puts a tremendous burden on our administrative staff.” Hamill agreed, “It wouldn’t change our good quality one iota, so why put our teachers in contention with each other?” Rieckman believes other government agencies “are stretching the Department of Education too far.” Pogany summarized various attempts over the years to get a financial accountability bill passed. “It’s a matter of trust. We have elected school boards, open meetings, transparency – let them (school boards) do their jobs.” On a different legal topic, Pogany warned the audience that sexting is now considered a criminal offense, even for minors. How will school boards handle the issue when it comes up? Also, though most school districts have anti-bullying policies, they should check the wording to align more closely with state requirements.

had been talked to by local taxpayers. If a sales tax goes through, then will an opt-out also be asked for?” Pogany estimated that the amount of funds from Measure 15 would be approximately $700 per enrolled student. “You are trying to keep the cuts as minimal as possible, trying to do everything you can not to hurt the children. What could you do with $700 per kid; not a wish list but a have to? Right now we are in survival mode. The schools in the state are so far in the hole we can’t do things that are needed by the students,” said Pogany. Pogany said that the funds from Measure 15 have no strings attached. The measure does not affect higher education, just kindergarten through 12th grade. It does have Medicaid on board; pooled together, to work together to leverage together for a shared need. Vonda Hamill, Haakon School District board member, said, “People really need to know this is not like the gambling money. It will come to the schools.” Anita Peterson, Haakon School District board member, said, “Some people are saying this is helping the legislators out. They don’t have to raise taxes, the vote will.” Peterson is on the 18-member board of directors of the ASBSD. “I know this will help balance us out,” said Dennis Rieckman, Wall superintendent. “It’s been cut, cut,

Bies running for S.D. House Representative of District 30
there is always a season to partake in. Growing up in the number one industry in South Dakota, agriculture, where our family ran cows on National Forest permits taught him how to negotiate with different entities on grazing issues. Having a father who was a general contractor has encouraged him to know land ownership and land rights issues. Private land ownership in the Black Hills has given experience in the logging industry by managing timber on our property and addressing the pine beetle epidemic. If Travis were to win the election, he would complete his term with the Custer County Commission, If the other commissioners did not feel it would be a problem for him to miss the time during the legislative session. The experience of being a commissioner and dealing with local issues, as well as helping manage a six million dollar budget each year makes Travis more aware of how to manage tax payers money. Travis believes that you can not go to Pierre having a “specific issue” to address. You need to be educated on all issues. Further experience with the Board of Game Fish and Parks, Black Hills Vision, Conservation District, and the Resource Advisory Committee, along with his love for Agriculture and the land will bring a solid background to the South Dakota House of Representatives for District 30.

Wall News
Gathered by Frances Poste We had in the news last week that the Badlands Alumni Association had scheduled a meeting at Wall Drug for June 1st at 10 a.m. The meeting has been rescheduled for the same day, June 1, at 11 a.m. due to Lynn Williams’ funeral being at 9 a.m. at the Methodist Church on that day. Lourine Winkowitsch was admitted to the Regional Hospital, Rapid City, on Sunday, the 20th. She had a pacemaker put in on Monday, the 21st. Her son Keith and her daughter Rene came to be with her. She has already been dismissed on Wednesday and is home! Leah Sebade and daughters, Diane and Alana, were in Rapid City, arriving on Monday, the 21st. Leah and Diane stayed with Evelyn Kjerstad and Alana stayed at her son Rob’s home. They had come for the Tuesday funeral of LaVawn Hedin a cousin of the late Warren Paulsen. Sherry and Kurth DeLand came to Wall on Tuesday, the 22nd, to see his mom Janis Bush. Janis had fallen recently and has the most colorful black eyes I have ever seen! The DeLands took her to Rapid City on Wednesday and to the Black Hills Cemetery to decorate graves. They returned home to Stromsburg on Thursday. Anita Peterson and Edith Paulsen were in Rapid City on the 23rd. They visited with Evelyn Kjerstad and all went out to eat. Maxine Smith and Frances Poste attended Rapid City Central High school’s Graduation Ceremony at the Civic Center on Sunday. Mark and Darlene Poste’s daughter Amanda was one of the graduates. It was hard to see anyone in that large crowd but Ruth Bruce attended to see grandson Charles, Barb and Chris Hall’s son, receive his diploma; as was Donna Jedlicka to see grandson Jacob, son of David and Kathy, walk up to get his. There were over 425 graduates! Evelyn Kjerstad was down from Rapid City again on Sunday. She attended church and was going on to Philip to see family there. While in Philip on Friday, Frances Poste visited Lucile Peterson and Dolly Blucher, briefly, as it was almost their lunch time. Both have apartments in the Senechal Building. This past week has been the time to put flowers on loved one’s graves for Memorial Day. Phyllis and Jeanne Denke of Rapid City came to the Wall Cemetery on Thursday despite the intermittent rain. Frances Poste joined them for lunch. After lunch, they went north of Quinn to the St. Paul’s Lutheran Cemetery, where Phyllis’ dad is buried. As usual, there was a “houseful” of people attending the Memorial Service in Quinn. Dennis Rieckman, Superintendent of Wall School, was the speaker. There were some music selections by Sadye Curtis and Korra Westby; Regan Simons sang her special song — The National Anthem; and a whole group of youngsters sang their “hearts out”. Dawna Rae Tsitrian played toe-tapping patriotic music with more gusto than anyone can do on that old piano. Very good program! Alice Kjerstad Poss is here from Arizona. It was nice to see her. The Memorial Service in Wall had the 7th Cavalry Drum and Bugle Corps as a prelude and selections during the service. Guest speaker was Darla Crown, Command Chief Warrant Officer (CW5) of the South Dakota National Guard. Darla grew up in this area, graduated from WHS and has a great career with the military. Her talk was very informative and interesting. Dawna Tsitrian did double duty and played the piano at this event also. Donald Aby passed away at the Rapid City Regional Hospital on Monday, May 21st. His funeral service was at the Philip High School Auditorium on Friday with burial in the New Underwood Cemetery. We offer our condo-

lences to the family. Dawn Pavao’s memorial service will be held at the Wasta Community Hall next week on Wednesday, June 6th. Again, we offer our condolences to her family. Merlin and Mary Jane Doyle went to Barb and Joe Croell’s on Friday afternoon. They spent the night and on Saturday, they all went to Gillette to Josh and Darcy Croell’s. The men built a new deck and the women did yard work. Heard this morning that Lynn Williams passed away last evening. Our sympathy goes out to the family. Monday, May 21, Carol Anne and Al Hodge visited Dale Keyser in the Regional Hospital. Larry and Dolores Maberry of Hesperia, California, arrived that evening to visit his uncle Dale and other relatives. Dale was dismissed on Thursday evening, all is well for now. Carol Anne Hodge went with the ladies of Badlands quilters to Ft. Meade to deliver quilts to veterans who are patients there. They went on to visit quilt shops in Sturgis and Hill City and enjoyed lunch together in Hill City. Larry and Dolores Maberry and Gary and Ruby Keyser were supper guests of Al and Carol Hodge on May 22. Carol Anne Hodge rode with Mary Alice Keyser to Philip to meet with the Red Hats of the 50s. After lunch, they went to Al Brucklacher to tour their Bible Camp. It was a very good afternoon. Max and Diana Bebout of Percivil, Iowa, arrived in Wall for a visit over the weekend. Max is a cousin of Dale Keyser. Friday evening, Gary and Ruby Keyser hosted a family gathering at the Wall Golf Course. The Maberry’s and Bebout’s, Cliff Keyser’s and Don Keysers and the Hodge’s all gathered The countryside is a pretty green with the yellow of clover mixed in. Seems the winter wheat is all headed out — must mean an early harvest. After our 90+ degrees last Tuesday, our temperatures have been almost normal. Memorial Day was windy and chilly — we’ve seen that before, too. We had misty rain Thursday, Friday and Saturday but it didn’t add up much. We could use more rain. and Cary Tines residence. Cary, Pam along with grandkids Lainee and Johnny traveled to Douglas, Wy for Pam’s dad’s 80th birthday party over the weekend. Shirrise Linn was in Rapid City on Thursday. While there, she had lunch with Tiff Knuppe and Melissa Byrne. Jen Magee and kids from Glenrock, WY arrived at the Linn’s Thursday evening to spend a few days. Clyde Arneson was a supper guest on Friday night. Katie Wilsey spent Saturday afternoon at the Linn’s. Kassandra Linn enjoyed a late afternoon volleyball game at the Pat and RoseMary Trask’s on Sunday.

Unfortunately, they were rained out and had to postpone until this Tuesday. Charlie and Carol Linn and Bill O’Krepte of Rapid City also came out, but went back on account of the rain.

went to Spearfish on Friday to attend the Anders – Kjerstad wedding and stayed overnight in Sturgis. Rod, Kelly and kids also attended. Baxter Anders was one of the groomsmen. Freddie Ferguson attended the volunteer day party on Tuesday at the Good Samaritan Center in New Underwood. Nothing much going on at the Gravatt’s this past week. Peggy did go to Rapid City on Monday to help Brad and Jes unload the last of their stuff into the new house. They are officially living in Rapid now. Brad called on Saturday to say that his car was stolen out of his back driveway….welcome to the neighborhood! Peggy helped set up the Wasta rest areas on Tuesday and Wednesday. They opened on Thursday. Sounds like it will be a good summer for tourists. The news was hard to come by this week. I think everyone has been busy with brandings and moving cows.

Countryside News
Submitted by Lola Joyce Riggins 837-2053 Greetings… Well people, finally some news again. It hasn't been an uneventful time. Kadoka got a storm that took the roof off the Hogan's Hardware store and striped the awning from the front of the old Secondhand or Drug Store straight west across the main street. Residents are so thankful it wasn't more severe on the town. It sucked or blew the roof off the north side and mangled it pretty good. It dumped the old store roof on Main Street and the town people worked hard to clear the road. I found two nails where I walked hopefully to save flat tires. And last week, I joined relatives and loved ones and became blessed with a new great-granddaughter. Emmarie Jaymes Fallon and Bob Clark welcomed a new baby sister for Aspen Alyvias. I owe an apology to Mary Paulsen because she has sent me a card almost every week to help me get news in. She is a blessing. I mislaid her last correspondence and have looked high and low so after calling her I am going to catch up. On May 1, Mary helped with the judging of Famous Faces at the Lead-Deadwood school. Her son Tom is a teacher in the school system. For Mary's birthday, the Paulsen guys, Darren, Delmer, Dawson, Dreyson and Tom and daughter-in-law Jackie met in Rapid City and treated Mary to birthday supper on April 27. Happy belated greetings Mary. George and Lorna Moore drove to Belvidere, Saturday, to attend a birthday dinner for Sage Calson's first birthday. May the Countryside wish Sage a belated wish. Mary Paulsen substitute taught at the Big White School, Monday, May 14th. and the Wall school, Wednesday, the 16th. Dennis and Kay Sieler joined family members at the Cedar Pass Lodge in observance to Mother's day. Always a great day for family members to get together and enjoy spending the day together. Delbert and Mary Paulsen left early Sunday morning for Ft. Pierre and attended Mass at St. John's and then drove on to Holabird to pick up their new herd bull they had purchased from the Bar JV Hereford Bull Ranch (before) then returned home. The branding crew worked at the Dennis Sieler Ranch and then Ruth, Rhyden and Faith stayed so Travis and Amanda Frink could have a evening out in observance of their wedding anniversary. Delmer and Mary Paulsen made a business and shopping trip to Rapid City and upon coming home, finished putting in more garden. Most acquired a nice inch to two inches of rain of very welcome rain in the area. Delmer and Mary Paulsen joined the many friends and families to attend Graduation exerices for the Wall school students. This has been a very unsettling and busy week. I am ready for things to settle down so I can. I know there is a lot not being said. Thought: Everyone faces challenges in life. It is a mater of how you learn to overcome them and use them to your advantage. Ingenrity, plus courage, plus work, equals miracles.

Violet was a member of Peace Lutheran Church in Rapid City, and the Good Samaritan Club. Grateful for having shared her life are her three sons, Gary Denke and his wife, Gail, of Rapid City, Gene Denke and his wife, Teresa, of Box Elder, and Gerald Denke of San Diego, Calif.; four daughters, Donna Denke of Rapid City, Darla Mengenhauser and her husband, Jack, of Rapid City, Diane Evans and her husband, Morris, of Rapid City, and Delores Fitzler and her husband, Doug, of Alliance, Neb.; 10 grandchildren; 19 great-grandchildren; one great-great-granddaughter; two sisters, Ruth Denke of Rapid City and Elsie Morrison and her husband, Allen, of Melbourne, Fla.; two brothers-in-law, Arnold Johnson of Wall and Erhart Denke and his wife, Alice, of Sturgis; two sisters-in-law, Marge Denke and Marie Denke, both of Rapid City; and a host of other relatives and friends.

A FAITHFUL SAyING
by Cornelius R. Stam "This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief" (I Tim. 1:15). Of all Paul's "faithful sayings," this is perhaps the most wonderful, and the one through which most people have found the joy of sins forgiven. The subject is that "Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners." Why else would Christ have had to leave His glory in heaven if it were not, as the Bible says, to come to earth in human form to represent us in the payment for sin? And, thank God, He paid the full price for the sins of all men, for it was not a mere man who died on Calvary's cross. So complete was His payment that Paul could exclaim: "He came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief." Paul, himself, though once Christ's chief enemy on earth, had now been saved by Him and, had come to know the joy of sins forgiven. The great tragedy is that so many people do not feel their condition to be hopeless apart from Christ. They have not yet seen how far they come short of the glory and holiness of God. They know they are sinners, but they do not yet feel that their condition is so hopeless that they need a Savior. Thus they keep trying, trying, trying -- and failing, failing, failing! How much wiser we are to confess our sins before God -- to take the place of sinners, so that He can save us. This is the first step to heaven. When we have done this we are in a position to accept God's offer of full pardon and justification through Christ, who died to pay the penalty for our sins. Since none are perfect and all have sinned, "this is," indeed, "a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners." Why not believe God's Word, accept Christ as your Savior and be saved today?
In time for Memorial Day, Badlands Quilters delivered five patriotic quilts to the Veterans Hospital at Fort Meade. The quilt tops were made during the groups’ Weekend Getaway last March. The hospital will give the quilts to veterans in the Hospice Unit. ~Courtesy Photo

He questioned the policy that allows activities such as auctions and funerals to take place. After discussion on this topic it was determined the policy would be reviewed. Angela Lytle addressed the board with a couple questions about the above topic. She wondered whether the gym floor covering was interrupting physical education of the students. Rieckman responded that all physical education classes have been held and kids have still been on the gym floor during lunch. Lytle also asked how much was charged for rent for the auction. Rieckman responded that the policy was followed at $200 each day of the auction. Angela Lytle and Terri Harris addressed the board about supporting their plan to hold an alcohol and drug free post graduation party. They gave information on what other towns/schools offer as an alternative to the traditional post graduation party. They are funding this party with money that the senior parent group had left over from the post prom party. Lytle and Harris asked Rieckman for permission to attend a senior class meeting to get information about this party to the students. Rieckman was in agreement and the board was in support of this activity. Randall Poste, the district’s technology coordinator, addressed the board about federal changes to the Children’s Internet Protection Policy. Our district has always been in compliance, but now we must make changes to stay in compliance. By July 1, 2012, we need to have an internet safety policy in place. In addition, all devices which the school owns will be filtered on and off campus. An internet safety course must also be provided to all staff/students on an annual basis. The first reading was held for the internet safety policy. Williams asked questions about the policy and noted some minor areas to correct. Next, Rieckman reviewed the SDHSAA proposed election items. He noted the board needed to choose a candidate to support for the Division I Representative position. They also needed to decide whether or not to support open enrolled students sitting out of varsity athletics for one year. 4672. Trask moved to support Mark Hofer of Sioux Falls Roosevelt.

2011 DRINKING WATER REPORT
CITy OF WALL MUNICIPAL WATER WATER QUALITy Last year, the City of Wall monitored your drinking water for possible contaminants. This brochure is a snapshot of the quality of the water that we provided last year. Included are details about where your water comes from, what it contains, and how it compares to Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and state standards. We are committed to providing you with information because informed customers are our best allies. WATER SOURCE We serve more than 766 customers an average of 165,300 gallons of water per day. Our water is groundwater that we produce from local wells. The state has performed an assessment of our source water and they have determined that the relative susceptibility rating for the Wall public water supply system is low. For more information about your water and information on opportunities to participate in public meetings, call (605)279-2563 and ask for Jeff Clark. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally-occurring minerals, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity. Contaminants that may be present in source water include: •Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife. •Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally-occurring or result from urban stormwater runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining, or farming. •Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban stormwater runoff, and residential uses. •Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban stormwater runoff, and septic systems. •Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally-occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities. In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations which limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. FDA regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health. Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791). Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants can be obtained by calling the Environment Protection Agency’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-4264791). If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. The City of Wall public water supply system is responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead. DETECTED CONTAMINANTS The attached table lists all the drinking water contaminants that we detected during the 2011 calendar year. The presence of these contaminants in the water does not necessarily indicate that the water poses a health risk. Unless otherwise noted, the data presented in this table is from testing done January 1 – December 31, 2011. The state requires us to monitor for certain contaminants less than once per year because the concentrations of these contaminants are not expected to vary significantly from year to year. Some of the data, though representative of the water quality, is more than one year old. 2011 TABLE OF DETECTED CONTAMINANTS FOR WALL (EPA ID 0417) TERMS AND ABBREVIATIONS USED IN THIS TABLE: • Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG): the level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety. • Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL): the highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as feasible using the best available treatment technology. • Action Level (AL): the concentration of a contaminant which, when exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements which a water system must follow. For Lead and Copper, 90% of the samples must be below the AL. • Treatment Technique (TT): A required process intended to reduce the level of a contaminant in drinking water. For turbidity, 95% of samples must be less than 0.3 NTU. UNITS: •MFL: million fibers per liter •pCi/l: picocuries per liter (a measure of radioactivity) •ppt: parts per trillion, or nanograms per liter •mrem/year: millirems per year (a measure of radiation absorbed by the body) •ppm: parts per million, or milligrams per liter (mg/l) •ppq: parts per quadrillion, or picograms per liter •NTU: Nephelometric Turbidity Units •ppb: parts per billion, or micrograms per liter (ug/l) •pspm: positive samples per month Highest Level Allowed (AL) AL=1.3 AL=15 Highest Level Allowed (MCL) 2 4 Major Source of Contaminant Corrosion of household plumbing systems; erosion of natural deposits; leaching from wood preservatives. Corrosion of household plumbing systems; erosion of natural deposits. Major Source of Contaminant Discharge of drilling wastes; discharge from metal refineries; erosion of natural deposits.

Please direct questions regarding this information to Mr. Jeff Clark with the Wall public water system at (605) 279-2563. IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT yOUR DRINKING WATER Elevated Fluoride Levels Detected This is an alert about your drinking water and a cosmetic dental problem that might affect children under nine years of age. At low levels, fluoride can help prevent cavities, but children drinking water containing more than 2 milligrams per liter (mg/l) of fluoride may develop cosmetic discoloration of their permanent teeth (dental fluorosis). The drinking water provided by your community water system (City of Wall) has a fluoride concentration of 2.4 mg/l. Dental fluorosis in its moderate or severe forms, may result in a brown staining and or pitting of the permanent teeth. This problem occurs only in developing teeth, before they erupt from the gums. Children under nine should be provided with alternative sources of drinking water or water that has been treated to remove the fluoride to avoid the possibility of staining and pitting of their permanent teeth. You may also want to contact your dentist about proper use by young children of fluoride-containing products. Older children and adults may safely drink the water. Drinking water containing more than 4 mg/l of fluoride (the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s drinking water standard) can increase your risk of developing bone disease. Your drinking water does not contain more than 4 mg/l of fluoride, but we’re required to notify you when we discover that the fluoride levels in your drinking water exceeds 2 mg/l because of this cosmetic dental problem. For more information, please call Jeff Clark of City of Wall Water Department at 279-2563. Some home water treatment units are also available to remove fluoride from drinking water. To learn more about available home water treatment units, you may call NSF International at 1-877-8-NSF-HELP. Please share this information with all the other people who drink this water, especially those who may not have received this notice directly (for example, people in apartments, nursing homes, schools and businesses). You can do this by posting this notice in a public place or distributing copies by hand or mail. This notice is being sent to you by the City of Wall. State Water System ID# 0417.

Election for School Board to be held June 5
Wall School will be holding an election on Tuesday, June 5. There are three incumbents and one candidate running for three positions for the school board. Scot Eisenbraun who is the current school board president, Pam Johnson vice-president, Todd Trask and Angela Lytle. Incumbent and candidates answered questions concerning themselves and how they would serve on the Wall School Board My name is Pam Johnson and I have been married to Dick Johnson for 24 years. We moved to Wall in 1998, and I truly believe we made a great move for our family. We have two daughters, both graduating from Wall High School, and both attending South Dakota State University. I work at First Interstate Bank and been on the Wall School Board for six years. What motivates you to want to become a board member or want to retain your seat on the school board? I made the decision to run again for the Board of Education because of the continual budget concerns we have. I feel I am fiscally minded, and with my experience, I can help make these difficult decisions. Also, with the uncertainty in the Impact Aid program, we need to keep a very close eye on where all the dollars are going. We cannot continue to expect to live off of Impact Aid to balance our budget. What attributes are essential for successful school board members? In order to be a good board member, a person should be able to step back and look at the whole picture and stay neutral until you have sufficient knowledge to make an educated decision based on what is best for the students, staff and public. The Board needs to work together with the Administration in problem solving and support the decisions that are made. Being a good board member shouldn’t mean micro-managing every decision that needs to be made; that is why the School Board hires the superintendent. And above all, keep the children first. The Board is there to make sure the children are provided the best education possible with the tools they have to work with. What do you see as the board's roles and responsibilities? The Board of Education has several functions, such as hiring the superintendent, overseeing development of and upholding the district policies the Board has approved, adopting and staying within the budget, and overseeing the facilities and curriculum. Board members need to work together as a team with the superintendent to make decisions that are best for the students, district and community. What role does policy play/have in the functioning of the board? The development and enforcing of policy is one of the many functions of a school board. It is a constant work in progress and policies have to be updated as the school environment changes. Our Board does the majority of the policy changes in the summer months and invites any input. It is then the Administration’s job to enforce those policies. What is your vision for education in this community? My hope for the education in our community is that education would continue to be the most important reason for our children to go to school. I know that athletics and extra curricular activities are important for a well-rounded student, but we need to remember that education and academics must come first. Our school does a great job of preparing our children for post secondary education and beyond, but I would like to see our test scores continue to rise. What is the most important responsibility of a school board? I feel the most important responsibility of a school board is to maintain a good working relationship and have trust in the superintendent, provide a quality education for our children, and keep our budget in line. Can you think of any district expenses that should be cut? I feel that our district has cut as many expenses possible while still providing quality education to the children in our district. We cut our budget substantially two years ago and if we aren’t careful to continually monitor our spending, we could be back to where we started. I do feel we are going to have to think outside the box and find innovative ways to fund and provide education in these difficult times. board needs to make sure that policies are being updated with the changes that are occurring in the community, state and federal levels. The policies need to layout a clear plan for the administration to follow so that district intent, goals and objectives can be met. Clear policies also keep the community informed of what the district is trying to accomplish. What is your vision for education in this community? Right now I believe that our school is just barely meeting the state requirement for time spent in school. Considering how much instructional time the students miss because of extra-curricular activities and church release time, I feel that the district should move back to a five day week and still keep the same daily hours in school. I know that the school is required to let students out for religious instruction, but have parents ever realized that by sending their child to church school, the student is missing 1⁄4 of the instructional time for that subject for the year. That adds up to a lot of missed learning opportunity. I don’t want to do away with religious education by any means but maybe parents could talk to their church leaders and have the religious education time start an hour later in the afternoon. Two other things that have bothered me over the years are that sometimes teachers have students correct each others’ papers. I feel that this is the teacher’s responsibility. I believe that when teachers correct the papers they get feedback on what concepts the kids are having a hard time grasping. The second thing that bothers me is letting students retake a test or finish up a test at a later time if they didn’t have time in class to finish it. Students need to learn to study for their tests the first time around. They won’t get the opportunity in college to retake tests so why get them started on that thought process in high school. What is the most important responsibility of a school board? In my opinion the most important thing for the school board to do is provide all the students with the best learning environment possible with the resources that are available. Can you think of any district expenses that should be cut? I must admit that I haven’t seen a detailed balance sheet, so I don’t know right off of any expenditure that needs to be cut. However, I will say once again that it was an irresponsible use of school funds to pay John Hess an extra $1544.00 in addition to his regular coaching wages as the boys’ varsity coach and his wages as the girls’ varsity coach. The teachers aren’t paid extra for giving up their free time to plan and correct papers after school. John should not have been paid extra on top of his coaching salary for giving up his free time to coach two teams. I believe that the school board and superintendent wanted the community to think that if they didn’t give John the extra wages that the school wouldn’t have had a boy’s varsity basketball coach. However, I know that two other people inquired about the coaching position and neither was given an interview. I also strongly disagree with hiring a new football coach and creating a teaching position for him when the school already has three varsity level football coaches within the system. The $37,100.00 salary for this new teaching position could have been used elsewhere in the system. I also don’t know if this teaching and football coach position was advertised as being open in our district. I could be wrong but I believe the superintendent is required to advertise teaching positions that are open if he is not going to fill the position with current staff members. I think it is time to make some changes to the school board. What attributes are essential for successful school board members? To keep an open mind. What do you see as the board's roles and responsibilities? To help our executive staff to keep our school district at a high level of excellence. What role does policy play/have in the functioning of the board? The policy that we have in place helps guide our staff and board in the day-to-day operations of our district. What is your vision for education in this community? I think that our community is very blessed to have an administration and school staff whose primary goal is to keep improving and I would like to continue to be a part of that. What is the most important responsibility of a school board? To help and work with the adminstration. Can you think of any district expenses that should be cut? This would be a very tough call at the present time. I would hope we can continue to hold the line on our budget and not have to cut staff or courses. As everyone knows the biggest expense to any business is salary and as a board over the last couple of years we have had little or no increase other than what the State has passed on to us.
Angela Lytle
Tell us a little bit about yourself. I grew up on a ranch north of Rapid City. I attended high school in Sturgis and now have a B.S. in accounting. I currently live on a ranch with my husband of 21 years, Rusty Lytle. We have four sons; Dalton, Zeb, Kale, and Clancy. I’m very lucky to have been a stay-at-home mom. I think it was really important for me to be home with my kids so as to instill in them my values. Growing up I was involved in 4-H, FFA and Rodeo. I’m currently a member of the Wall Rodeo Booster Club, a 4-H leader, and I taught Catechism at St. Patrick’s church for several years. I enjoy sewing, reading, gardening and occasionally barrel racing. What motivates you to want to become a board member or want to retain your seat on the school board? I feel that it is important as a good citizen to not just complain about a problem but to jump in and help fix it. For the last few years it seems that the current school board has been doing things here and there that I don’t always feel is in the best interest of the students. I don’t like that they write a policy and then ignore it at times. An example of this is hosting an alcohol party for the graduates, when track and golf season was not over. This violates training rules. If you’re not going to follow a policy, why write it? I feel that some current board members are overstepping their boundaries by micromanaging and trying to do the job of the administration. When did it become the job of school board members and a community member to do the interviewing for positions in the school system? I thought that was the job of the administration. The final episode that made me decide to run for the school board happened last fall when some upper classmen beat up on some eighth graders with clubs and where punished by having to apologize. I would think the eighth graders don’t feel that justice was served. The bullies should have at the very least been removed from the football team. What attributes are essential for successful school board members? The SD School Board handbook lists fourteen attributes that they consider to be essential to being an effective board member. I agree with them and feel that I possess these attributes. I would approach the school board position with honesty, integrity, and a willingness to listen. I know that the decisions made should be best for all the students. Since I’m being elected to this position, I have to be open to discussing with the community what they want accomplished in the district. I won’t hold a grudge when I don’t agree with the other board members decisions. What do you see as the board’s roles and responsibilities? I see the role of the school board to be writing clear policies for the administration to enact, hiring a superintendent, adopting a budget, planning and goal setting for the school system, overseeing the school properties, and working with the superintendent and staff to set instructional policies. Last I believe that the board should always delegate the tasks of recruiting, recommending for hire, evaluating, promoting, and disciplining staff (in accordance with board policy) to the superintendent. What role does policy play/have in the functioning of the board? Policy writing is one of the most important things the school board will do. In order for the school district to run smoothly the school
Todd Trask
Tell us a little bit about yourself. I am a graduate of Wall High School and life long resident of the area. What motivates you to want to become a board member or want to retain your seat on the school board? I believe that everyone has a responsibility to give something back to the community they live in and try to make things better.
Scot Eisenbraun
Tell us a little bit about yourself. My name is Scot Eisenbraun, my wife Melody and I farm and ranch in the Wall area with our three boys; Tyrel (Freshman at Southwest Minnesota State University), Taran (Junior at Wall High School), and Tate (Sixth grader at Wall School). I am a member of the First Lutheran Church in Wall, and currently serve as President of the Church Council. What motivates you to want to become a board member or want to retain your seat on the school board? I have two children in the school system and I am very interested in their education as well as the education of all the students in our district. What attributes are essential for successful school board members? A person should be open minded, willing to listen and keep the best interests of the students top priority. What do you see as the board's roles and responsibilities? The board should set policies, watch the budget and do everything they can to ensure each student receives a good education. What role does policy play/have in the functioning of the board? The board sets policies and enforces them. What is your vision for education in this community? My vision for the community is to create the best and most educated students and ensure they have the best opportunities available to succeed in the future. What is the most important responsibility of a school board? The most important responsibility of a school board is to work together providing all the resources necessary to educate the students of our district. Can you think of any district expenses that should be cut? There are always places that can be cut but you have to carefully consider the impact it will have on the students and their education.

Local board hosts ASBSD director
by Del Bartels Members of the Haakon School District and the Wall School District boards of education met in Philip, Wednesday, May 16, to discuss finances, politics and other concerns. Wade Pogany, executive director of the Associated School Boards of South Dakota, headed the informational meeting. “My goal is to get a discussion going among board members; info gathering on thinking by board members and thinking out west here,” said Pogany. The ASBSD is putting its influence in support of the upcoming Initiated Measure 15, which would increase state general sales and use taxes for additional kindergarten through 12 public education and Medicaid funding. “As property tax keeps moving, at some point people say “No more,” said Pogany. “It’s creating an inequity issue – have and have nots – a real disparity. An opt-out is easier said than done. Would you rather have property taxes increase and spread over the state, or have a sales tax increase?” Mark Nelson, Haakon School District board member, said he cut. We’ve never been able to look to the future with money.” Pogany agreed, “Many school districts said at least the first two years would be needed to get them out of the hole.” Hamill said, “I agree, a lot of the mentality is the state has to provide for an adequate education. That depends on what you think is adequate.” Nelson said, “A lot of our younger teachers with no real ties to the community get three or four years experience, then move to a different state that pays a lot more.” The ASBSD addresses other legislative issues. Todd Trask, Wall School District board member, wants the ASBSD to back legislation that goes for “local control, with some teeth in it.” Trask would like school and public lands money to stay in the county where the land is. He would like Payments in Lieu of Taxes (PILT) funds – federal payments to local governments that help offset losses in property taxes due to nontaxable federal lands within their boundaries) that goes to counties to be split some way with schools. Pogany said, “But then you’re taking from other entities. That would be a hard hill to die on in a battle with county commissioners.” Nelson said, “Some people like the merit pay, but that puts a tremendous burden on our administrative staff.” Hamill agreed, “It wouldn’t change our good quality one iota, so why put our teachers in contention with each other?” Rieckman believes other government agencies “are stretching the Department of Education too far.” Pogany summarized various attempts over the years to get a financial accountability bill passed. “It’s a matter of trust. We have elected school boards, open meetings, transparency – let them (school boards) do their jobs.” On a different legal topic, Pogany warned the audience that sexting is now considered a criminal offense, even for minors. How will school boards handle the issue when it comes up? Also, though most school districts have anti-bullying policies, they should check the wording to align more closely with state requirements.

had been talked to by local taxpayers. If a sales tax goes through, then will an opt-out also be asked for?” Pogany estimated that the amount of funds from Measure 15 would be approximately $700 per enrolled student. “You are trying to keep the cuts as minimal as possible, trying to do everything you can not to hurt the children. What could you do with $700 per kid; not a wish list but a have to? Right now we are in survival mode. The schools in the state are so far in the hole we can’t do things that are needed by the students,” said Pogany. Pogany said that the funds from Measure 15 have no strings attached. The measure does not affect higher education, just kindergarten through 12th grade. It does have Medicaid on board; pooled together, to work together to leverage together for a shared need. Vonda Hamill, Haakon School District board member, said, “People really need to know this is not like the gambling money. It will come to the schools.” Anita Peterson, Haakon School District board member, said, “Some people are saying this is helping the legislators out. They don’t have to raise taxes, the vote will.” Peterson is on the 18-member board of directors of the ASBSD. “I know this will help balance us out,” said Dennis Rieckman, Wall superintendent. “It’s been cut, cut,

Bies running for S.D. House Representative of District 30
there is always a season to partake in. Growing up in the number one industry in South Dakota, agriculture, where our family ran cows on National Forest permits taught him how to negotiate with different entities on grazing issues. Having a father who was a general contractor has encouraged him to know land ownership and land rights issues. Private land ownership in the Black Hills has given experience in the logging industry by managing timber on our property and addressing the pine beetle epidemic. If Travis were to win the election, he would complete his term with the Custer County Commission, If the other commissioners did not feel it would be a problem for him to miss the time during the legislative session. The experience of being a commissioner and dealing with local issues, as well as helping manage a six million dollar budget each year makes Travis more aware of how to manage tax payers money. Travis believes that you can not go to Pierre having a “specific issue” to address. You need to be educated on all issues. Further experience with the Board of Game Fish and Parks, Black Hills Vision, Conservation District, and the Resource Advisory Committee, along with his love for Agriculture and the land will bring a solid background to the South Dakota House of Representatives for District 30.

Gathered by Frances Poste We had in the news last week that the Badlands Alumni Association had scheduled a meeting at Wall Drug for June 1st at 10 a.m. The meeting has been rescheduled for the same day, June 1, at 11 a.m. due to Lynn Williams’ funeral being at 9 a.m. at the Methodist Church on that day. Lourine Winkowitsch was admitted to the Regional Hospital, Rapid City, on Sunday, the 20th. She had a pacemaker put in on Monday, the 21st. Her son Keith and her daughter Rene came to be with her. She has already been dismissed on Wednesday and is home! Leah Sebade and daughters, Diane and Alana, were in Rapid City, arriving on Monday, the 21st. Leah and Diane stayed with Evelyn Kjerstad and Alana stayed at her son Rob’s home. They had come for the Tuesday funeral of LaVawn Hedin a cousin of the late Warren Paulsen. Sherry and Kurth DeLand came to Wall on Tuesday, the 22nd, to see his mom Janis Bush. Janis had fallen recently and has the most colorful black eyes I have ever seen! The DeLands took her to Rapid City on Wednesday and to the Black Hills Cemetery to decorate graves. They returned home to Stromsburg on Thursday. Anita Peterson and Edith Paulsen were in Rapid City on the 23rd. They visited with Evelyn Kjerstad and all went out to eat. Maxine Smith and Frances Poste attended Rapid City Central High school’s Graduation Ceremony at the Civic Center on Sunday. Mark and Darlene Poste’s daughter Amanda was one of the graduates. It was hard to see anyone in that large crowd but Ruth Bruce attended to see grandson Charles, Barb and Chris Hall’s son, receive his diploma; as was Donna Jedlicka to see grandson Jacob, son of David and Kathy, walk up to get his. There were over 425 graduates! Evelyn Kjerstad was down from Rapid City again on Sunday. She attended church and was going on to Philip to see family there. While in Philip on Friday, Frances Poste visited Lucile Peterson and Dolly Blucher, briefly, as it was almost their lunch time. Both have apartments in the Senechal Building. This past week has been the time to put flowers on loved one’s graves for Memorial Day. Phyllis and Jeanne Denke of Rapid City came to the Wall Cemetery on Thursday despite the intermittent rain. Frances Poste joined them for lunch. After lunch, they went north of Quinn to the St. Paul’s Lutheran Cemetery, where Phyllis’ dad is buried. As usual, there was a “houseful” of people attending the Memorial Service in Quinn. Dennis Rieckman, Superintendent of Wall School, was the speaker. There were some music selections by Sadye Curtis and Korra Westby; Regan Simons sang her special song — The National Anthem; and a whole group of youngsters sang their “hearts out”. Dawna Rae Tsitrian played toe-tapping patriotic music with more gusto than anyone can do on that old piano. Very good program! Alice Kjerstad Poss is here from Arizona. It was nice to see her. The Memorial Service in Wall had the 7th Cavalry Drum and Bugle Corps as a prelude and selections during the service. Guest speaker was Darla Crown, Command Chief Warrant Officer (CW5) of the South Dakota National Guard. Darla grew up in this area, graduated from WHS and has a great career with the military. Her talk was very informative and interesting. Dawna Tsitrian did double duty and played the piano at this event also. Donald Aby passed away at the Rapid City Regional Hospital on Monday, May 21st. His funeral service was at the Philip High School Auditorium on Friday with burial in the New Underwood Cemetery. We offer our condo-

lences to the family. Dawn Pavao’s memorial service will be held at the Wasta Community Hall next week on Wednesday, June 6th. Again, we offer our condolences to her family. Merlin and Mary Jane Doyle went to Barb and Joe Croell’s on Friday afternoon. They spent the night and on Saturday, they all went to Gillette to Josh and Darcy Croell’s. The men built a new deck and the women did yard work. Heard this morning that Lynn Williams passed away last evening. Our sympathy goes out to the family. Monday, May 21, Carol Anne and Al Hodge visited Dale Keyser in the Regional Hospital. Larry and Dolores Maberry of Hesperia, California, arrived that evening to visit his uncle Dale and other relatives. Dale was dismissed on Thursday evening, all is well for now.

They went on to visit quilt shops in Sturgis and Hill City and enjoyed lunch together in Hill City. Larry and Dolores Maberry and Gary and Ruby Keyser were supper guests of Al and Carol Hodge on May 22. Carol Anne Hodge rode with Mary Alice Keyser to Philip to meet with the Red Hats of the 50s. After lunch, they went to Al Brucklacher to tour their Bible Camp. It was a very good afternoon. Max and Diana Bebout of Percivil, Iowa, arrived in Wall for a visit over the weekend. Max is a cousin of Dale Keyser. Friday evening, Gary and Ruby Keyser hosted a family gathering at the Wall Golf Course. The Maberry’s and Bebout’s, Cliff Keyser’s and Don Keysers and the Hodge’s all gathered The countryside is a pretty green with the yellow of clover mixed in. Seems the winter wheat is all headed out — must mean an early harvest. After our 90+ degrees last Tuesday, our temperatures have been almost normal. Memorial Day was windy and chilly — we’ve seen that before, too. We had misty rain Thursday, Friday and Saturday but it didn’t add up much. We could use more rain. and Cary Tines residence. Cary, Pam along with grandkids Lainee and Johnny traveled to Douglas, Wy for Pam’s dad’s 80th birthday party over the weekend. Shirrise Linn was in Rapid City on Thursday. While there, she had lunch with Tiff Knuppe and Melissa Byrne. Jen Magee and kids from Glenrock, WY arrived at the Linn’s Thursday evening to spend a few days. Clyde Arneson was a supper guest on Friday night. Katie Wilsey spent Saturday afternoon at the Linn’s. Kassandra Linn enjoyed a late afternoon volleyball game at the Pat and RoseMary Trask’s on Sunday.

Unfortunately, they were rained out and had to postpone until this Tuesday. Charlie and Carol Linn and Bill O’Krepte of Rapid City also came out, but went back on account of the rain.

went to Spearfish on Friday to attend the Anders – Kjerstad wedding and stayed overnight in Sturgis. Rod, Kelly and kids also attended. Baxter Anders was one of the groomsmen. Freddie Ferguson attended the volunteer day party on Tuesday at the Good Samaritan Center in New Underwood. Nothing much going on at the Gravatt’s this past week. Peggy did go to Rapid City on Monday to help Brad and Jes unload the last of their stuff into the new house. They are officially living in Rapid now. Brad called on Saturday to say that his car was stolen out of his back driveway….welcome to the neighborhood! Peggy helped set up the Wasta rest areas on Tuesday and Wednesday. They opened on Thursday. Sounds like it will be a good summer for tourists. The news was hard to come by this week. I think everyone has been busy with brandings and moving cows.

Countryside News
Submitted by Lola Joyce Riggins 837-2053 Greetings… Well people, finally some news again. It hasn't been an uneventful time. Kadoka got a storm that took the roof off the Hogan's Hardware store and striped the awning from the front of the old Secondhand or Drug Store straight west across the main street. Residents are so thankful it wasn't more severe on the town. It sucked or blew the roof off the north side and mangled it pretty good. It dumped the old store roof on Main Street and the town people worked hard to clear the road. I found two nails where I walked hopefully to save flat tires. And last week, I joined relatives and loved ones and became blessed with a new great-granddaughter. Emmarie Jaymes Fallon and Bob Clark welcomed a new baby sister for Aspen Alyvias. I owe an apology to Mary Paulsen because she has sent me a card almost every week to help me get news in. She is a blessing. I mislaid her last correspondence and have looked high and low so after calling her I am going to catch up. On May 1, Mary helped with the judging of Famous Faces at the Lead-Deadwood school. Her son Tom is a teacher in the school system. For Mary's birthday, the Paulsen guys, Darren, Delmer, Dawson, Dreyson and Tom and daughter-in-law Jackie met in Rapid City and treated Mary to birthday supper on April 27. Happy belated greetings Mary. George and Lorna Moore drove to Belvidere, Saturday, to attend a birthday dinner for Sage Calson's first birthday. May the Countryside wish Sage a belated wish. Mary Paulsen substitute taught at the Big White School, Monday, May 14th. and the Wall school, Wednesday, the 16th. Dennis and Kay Sieler joined family members at the Cedar Pass Lodge in observance to Mother's day. Always a great day for family members to get together and enjoy spending the day together. Delbert and Mary Paulsen left early Sunday morning for Ft. Pierre and attended Mass at St. John's and then drove on to Holabird to pick up their new herd bull they had purchased from the Bar JV Hereford Bull Ranch (before) then returned home. The branding crew worked at the Dennis Sieler Ranch and then Ruth, Rhyden and Faith stayed so Travis and Amanda Frink could have a evening out in observance of their wedding anniversary. Delmer and Mary Paulsen made a business and shopping trip to Rapid City and upon coming home, finished putting in more garden. Most acquired a nice inch to two inches of rain of very welcome rain in the area. Delmer and Mary Paulsen joined the many friends and families to attend Graduation exerices for the Wall school students. This has been a very unsettling and busy week. I am ready for things to settle down so I can. I know there is a lot not being said. Thought: Everyone faces challenges in life. It is a mater of how you learn to overcome them and use them to your advantage. Ingenrity, plus courage, plus work, equals miracles.

Obituaries Violet Denke___________________________________
riage, they moved to a farm-ranch north of Kadoka. In 1957, they moved to Wichita, Kan., where Adolph worked on the Titan II Missiles. In the fall of 1962, they moved to Rapid City where Violet worked for a rest home with Sidney Haine. Violet worked several years from her home as a terminal agent for National Trailer Convoy, and at SCI. Later Violet, along with her husband, owned and operated the Western Mobile Home Park in Box Elder. In 1989, they retired and sold their business to their son, Gene. This gave Violet time to enjoy her favorite hobby, quilting. Violet also enjoyed camping and fishing with her husband (when the fish were biting!). Violet was a member of Peace Lutheran Church in Rapid City, and the Good Samaritan Club. Grateful for having shared her life are her three sons, Gary Denke and his wife, Gail, of Rapid City, Gene Denke and his wife, Teresa, of Box Elder, and Gerald Denke of San Diego, Calif.; four daughters, Donna Denke of Rapid City, Darla Mengenhauser and her husband, Jack, of Rapid City, Diane Evans and her husband, Morris, of Rapid City, and Delores Fitzler and her husband, Doug, of Alliance, Neb.; 10 grandchildren; 19 great-grandchildren; one great-great-granddaughter; two sisters, Ruth Denke of Rapid City and Elsie Morrison and her husband, Allen, of Melbourne, Fla.; two brothers-in-law, Arnold Johnson of Wall and Erhart Denke and his wife, Alice, of Sturgis; two sisters-in-law, Marge Denke and Marie Denke, both of Rapid City; and a host of other relatives and friends. Violet was preceded in death by her husband Adolph Denke on December 3, 2003; a son, Greg Denke; her parents, Albert and Johanna Geigle; a grandson, Joshua Denke; and a sister, Minnie Johnson. Funeral services were held 10:00 a.m. Saturday, May 26, at Peace Lutheran Church in Rapid City, with Pastor David Lindenberg officiating.

A FAITHFUL SAyING
by Cornelius R. Stam "This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief" (I Tim. 1:15). Of all Paul's "faithful sayings," this is perhaps the most wonderful, and the one through which most people have found the joy of sins forgiven. The subject is that "Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners." Why else would Christ have had to leave His glory in heaven if it were not, as the Bible says, to come to earth in human form to represent us in the payment for sin? And, thank God, He paid the full price for the sins of all men, for it was not a mere man who died on Calvary's cross. So complete was His payment that Paul could exclaim: "He came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief." Paul, himself, though once Christ's chief enemy on earth, had now been saved by Him and, had come to know the joy of sins forgiven. The great tragedy is that so many people do not feel their condition to be hopeless apart from Christ. They have not yet seen how far they come short of the glory and holiness of God. They know they are sinners, but they do not yet feel that their condition is so hopeless that they need a Savior. Thus they keep trying, trying, trying -- and failing, failing, failing! How much wiser we are to confess our sins before God -- to take the place of sinners, so that He can save us. This is the first step to heaven. When we have done this we are in a position to accept God's offer of full pardon and justification through Christ, who died to pay the penalty for our sins. Since none are perfect and all have sinned, "this is," indeed, "a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners." Why not believe God's Word, accept Christ as your Savior and be saved today?
In time for Memorial Day, Badlands Quilters delivered five patriotic quilts to the Veterans Hospital at Fort Meade. The quilt tops were made during the groups’ Weekend Getaway last March. The hospital will give the quilts to veterans in the Hospice Unit. ~Courtesy Photo

He questioned the policy that allows activities such as auctions and funerals to take place. After discussion on this topic it was determined the policy would be reviewed. Angela Lytle addressed the board with a couple questions about the above topic. She wondered whether the gym floor covering was interrupting physical education of the students. Rieckman responded that all physical education classes have been held and kids have still been on the gym floor during lunch. Lytle also asked how much was charged for rent for the auction. Rieckman responded that the policy was followed at $200 each day of the auction. Angela Lytle and Terri Harris addressed the board about supporting their plan to hold an alcohol and drug free post graduation party. They gave information on what other towns/schools offer as an alternative to the traditional post graduation party. They are funding this party with money that the senior parent group had left over from the post prom party. Lytle and Harris asked Rieckman for permission to attend a senior class meeting to get information about this party to the students. Rieckman was in agreement and the board was in support of this activity. Randall Poste, the district’s technology coordinator, addressed the board about federal changes to the Children’s Internet Protection Policy. Our district has always been in compliance, but now we must make changes to stay in compliance. By July 1, 2012, we need to have an internet safety policy in place. In addition, all devices which the school owns will be filtered on and off campus. An internet safety course must also be provided to all staff/students on an annual basis. The first reading was held for the internet safety policy. Williams asked questions about the policy and noted some minor areas to correct. Next, Rieckman reviewed the SDHSAA proposed election items. He noted the board needed to choose a candidate to support for the Division I Representative position. They also needed to decide whether or not to support open enrolled students sitting out of varsity athletics for one year. 4672. Trask moved to support Mark Hofer of Sioux Falls Roosevelt.

2011 DRINKING WATER REPORT
CITy OF WALL MUNICIPAL WATER WATER QUALITy Last year, the City of Wall monitored your drinking water for possible contaminants. This brochure is a snapshot of the quality of the water that we provided last year. Included are details about where your water comes from, what it contains, and how it compares to Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and state standards. We are committed to providing you with information because informed customers are our best allies. WATER SOURCE We serve more than 766 customers an average of 165,300 gallons of water per day. Our water is groundwater that we produce from local wells. The state has performed an assessment of our source water and they have determined that the relative susceptibility rating for the Wall public water supply system is low. For more information about your water and information on opportunities to participate in public meetings, call (605)279-2563 and ask for Jeff Clark. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally-occurring minerals, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity. Contaminants that may be present in source water include: •Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife. •Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally-occurring or result from urban stormwater runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining, or farming. •Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban stormwater runoff, and residential uses. •Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban stormwater runoff, and septic systems. •Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally-occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities. In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations which limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. FDA regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health. Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791). Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants can be obtained by calling the Environment Protection Agency’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-4264791). If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. The City of Wall public water supply system is responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead. DETECTED CONTAMINANTS The attached table lists all the drinking water contaminants that we detected during the 2011 calendar year. The presence of these contaminants in the water does not necessarily indicate that the water poses a health risk. Unless otherwise noted, the data presented in this table is from testing done January 1 – December 31, 2011. The state requires us to monitor for certain contaminants less than once per year because the concentrations of these contaminants are not expected to vary significantly from year to year. Some of the data, though representative of the water quality, is more than one year old. 2011 TABLE OF DETECTED CONTAMINANTS FOR WALL (EPA ID 0417) TERMS AND ABBREVIATIONS USED IN THIS TABLE: • Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG): the level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety. • Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL): the highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as feasible using the best available treatment technology. • Action Level (AL): the concentration of a contaminant which, when exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements which a water system must follow. For Lead and Copper, 90% of the samples must be below the AL. • Treatment Technique (TT): A required process intended to reduce the level of a contaminant in drinking water. For turbidity, 95% of samples must be less than 0.3 NTU. UNITS: •MFL: million fibers per liter •pCi/l: picocuries per liter (a measure of radioactivity) •ppt: parts per trillion, or nanograms per liter •mrem/year: millirems per year (a measure of radiation absorbed by the body) •ppm: parts per million, or milligrams per liter (mg/l) •ppq: parts per quadrillion, or picograms per liter •NTU: Nephelometric Turbidity Units •ppb: parts per billion, or micrograms per liter (ug/l) •pspm: positive samples per month Highest Level Allowed (AL) AL=1.3 AL=15 Highest Level Allowed (MCL) 2 4 Major Source of Contaminant Corrosion of household plumbing systems; erosion of natural deposits; leaching from wood preservatives. Corrosion of household plumbing systems; erosion of natural deposits. Major Source of Contaminant Discharge of drilling wastes; discharge from metal refineries; erosion of natural deposits. Erosion of natural deposits; water additive which promotes strong teeth; discharge from fertilizer and aluminum factories

Please direct questions regarding this information to Mr. Jeff Clark with the Wall public water system at (605) 279-2563. IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT yOUR DRINKING WATER Elevated Fluoride Levels Detected This is an alert about your drinking water and a cosmetic dental problem that might affect children under nine years of age. At low levels, fluoride can help prevent cavities, but children drinking water containing more than 2 milligrams per liter (mg/l) of fluoride may develop cosmetic discoloration of their permanent teeth (dental fluorosis). The drinking water provided by your community water system (City of Wall) has a fluoride concentration of 2.4 mg/l. Dental fluorosis in its moderate or severe forms, may result in a brown staining and or pitting of the permanent teeth. This problem occurs only in developing teeth, before they erupt from the gums. Children under nine should be provided with alternative sources of drinking water or water that has been treated to remove the fluoride to avoid the possibility of staining and pitting of their permanent teeth. You may also want to contact your dentist about proper use by young children of fluoride-containing products. Older children and adults may safely drink the water. Drinking water containing more than 4 mg/l of fluoride (the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s drinking water standard) can increase your risk of developing bone disease. Your drinking water does not contain more than 4 mg/l of fluoride, but we’re required to notify you when we discover that the fluoride levels in your drinking water exceeds 2 mg/l because of this cosmetic dental problem. For more information, please call Jeff Clark of City of Wall Water Department at 279-2563. Some home water treatment units are also available to remove fluoride from drinking water. To learn more about available home water treatment units, you may call NSF International at 1-877-8-NSF-HELP. Please share this information with all the other people who drink this water, especially those who may not have received this notice directly (for example, people in apartments, nursing homes, schools and businesses). You can do this by posting this notice in a public place or distributing copies by hand or mail. This notice is being sent to you by the City of Wall. State Water System ID# 0417.
