The governors Primary Care
Task Force has presented its final
report to Governor Dennis Dau-
gaard, recommending that health
professions education programs
work more closely together in
South Dakota and that training
opportunities in rural areas be ex-
panded.
The task force also recommends
that Governor Daugaard appoint
an ongoing oversight committee to
monitor progress and report to
him, the Board of Regents and the
Legislature.
An aging population needing
more health care, a declining
school-age population to fill
healthcare positions, and the con-
centration of health professionals
in our most populous areas are
making it difficult in rural commu-
nities to recruit and retain medical
providers, the Governor said.
The task forces assignment was
not easy, and I appreciate the time
and effort devoted to it.
Primary Care Task Force
reports to governor
The task force report offers de-
tailed strategies and recommenda-
tions in five areas:
Capacity of healthcare educa-
tion programs
Quality rural health experi-
ences
Recruitment and retention
Innovative primary care models
Accountability and oversight
Examples of specific strategies
include payments to South Dakota
medical providers who offer in-
struction and supervision of physi-
cian assistant students, and ex-
panding rural experience pro-
grams such as the Frontier and
Rural Medicine (FARM) program.
Governor Daugaard said an
oversight committee is crucial.
Maintaining health care in
rural South Dakota is a long-term
commitment that requires contin-
ually tracking our efforts and Ravellette Publications, Inc.

The United States Department
of Agriculture (USDA) Rural De-
velopment honored First Inter-
state Bank in Wall for their part-
nership in utilizing the USDA
Business and Industry (B&I) Loan
Guarantee Program to increase ac-
cess to capital for businesses in
rural areas of South Dakota, sup-
porting jobs and improving the
quality of life for residents living in
the western part of the state.
President Obama is committed
to strengthening rural commit-
tees, said Elsie Meeks, South
Dakota USDA Rural Development
State Director. Working with pri-
vate lenders throughout the state,
USDA Rural Development is able
to increase investment capital,
helping communities and local or-
ganizations build a strong busi-
ness infrastructure to nurture eco-
nomic growth.
USDA Rural Development pro-
vided $1.07 million in Business
and Industry Loan Guarantees for
local lender First Interstate Bank
that, through leveraging, assisted
three businesses. These projects
are expected to create four jobs
and retain 24.
Rural Development has been a
great partner for First Interstate
Bank and our business loan cus-
tomers in 2012. Their B&I pro-
gram has provided us access to
long term fixed rate financing for
our rural business customers,
said Brett Blasius, President of
First Interstate Bank Wall. I feel
that this partnership has strength-
ened our rural community by
maintaining and in some cases,
adding jobs, which are the result of
attractive finance options to our
customers.
In Fiscal Year 2012, USDA
Rural Development Business and
Industry (B&I) Guaranteed Loan
program made available $33.2 mil-
lion that, through leverage $128
million, assisted nine businesses.
The purpose of the B&I Guaran-
teed Loan Program is to improve,
develop or finance business, indus-
try and employment and improve
the economic and environmental
climate in rural communities. This
purpose is achieved by bolstering
the existing private credit struc-
ture through the guarantee of
quality loans which will provide
lasting community benefits.

President Obamas plan for
rural America has brought about
historic investment and resulted
in stronger rural communities.
Under the Presidents leader-
ship, these investments in hous-
ing, community facilities, busi-
nesses and infrastructure have
empowered rural America to con-
tinue leading the way- strengthen-
ing Americas economy, small
towns and rural communities.
USDA's investments in rural
communities support the rural
way of life that stands as the back-
bone of our American values.
President Obama and Agricul-
ture Secretary Tom Vilsack are
committed to a smarter use of Fed-
eral resources to foster sustainable
economic prosperity and ensure
the government is a strong partner
for businesses, entrepreneurs and
working families in rural commu-
nities.
USDA, through its Rural Devel-
opment mission area, has an ac-
tive portfolio of more that $176 bil-
lion in loans and loan guarantees.
These programs are designed to
improve the quality of life in rural
America.

Elm Springs students stopped by the First Interstate Bank on
Thursday, December 20 to enteratain the bank employees with
a few Christmas carols. This year the students decided not to
exchange gifts amongst each other rather they purchased
gloves and mittens to give to the Angel tree this year. Students
also auctioned off a quilt they had made. The quilt brought
$2,300 and the proceeds were donated to Harold and Karen Del-
bridge. Pictured back row: from left to right ... Jacob Linn, Carter

Social Security News
By Kathy Petersen
Social Security Public
Affairs Specialist
Question:
I applied for a replacement So-
cial Security card last week but
have not received it. When should
I expect to receive my new card?
Answer:
On average, it takes approxi-
mately 10 to 14 days to receive
your replacement Social Security
card. However, if we need to ver-
ify documents you present as
proof of identity, it could take
longer in some cases. For more in-
formation about your Social Secu-
rity card and number, visit
www.socialsecurity.gov/ssnumber.
Question:
My wife and I live in South
Dakota, but plan to spend the
winter in New Mexico. My wife
will turn 62 while we are down
south. Can she apply for benefits
in New Mexico, or do we have to
wait until we get back home to
apply for retirement at our local
Social Security office?
Answer:
These days, you dont even
have to be near a Social Security
office to apply for benefits. Re-
gardless of where you and your
wife are living, you can apply for
retirement benefits online at
www.socialsecurity.gov/applytore-
tire. Its so easy to do, and it can
take as little as 15 minutes to
complete and submit the applica-
tion.
If she prefers, your wife can file
a retirement benefit application
at any Social Security office in-
cluding the one closest to you in
South Dakota, New Mexico, or
wherever you happen to be.
Question:
I am about to apply for Social
Security disability benefits. I have
two children, ages 9 and 12. If my
application is approved, will they
get benefits, too? Or do the chil-
dren also have to be disabled to
qualify for benefits on my record?
Answer:
If you qualify for Social Security
disability benefits, your children
may receive dependents benefits
based on your work record, even if
theyre not disabled themselves.
As long as you receive benefits,
their benefits will continue until
they reach age 18, or until age 19
if they are still in high school.
If your children are disabled,
however, at the time that they
reach age 18, they may be able to
continue receiving benefits into
adulthood.
For more information, visit our
website on disability benefits at
www.socialsecurity.gov/di
sability.
Your Question, Social Securitys Answers
Representative Kristi Noem an-
nounced that the United States
Department of Agriculture
(USDA) responded to her Septem-
ber 13th and October 18th letters
on the new school lunch standards.
USDA replied to specific questions
posed by Representative Noem
and announced it would be provid-
ing schools increased flexibility in
the current year on maximums for
grains and meats in the school
meal program. Representative
Noem has put substantial pres-
sure on USDA to improve flexibil-
ity for schools working to imple-
ment new standards under the
Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of
2010.
It is clear that the pressure
from students, parents and food
service directors has put USDA on
notice, said Representative Noem.
I am pleased USDA has taken
USDA responds to Rep. Noem
on school lunch standards
action to increase flexibility in the
current year, and will continue to
pursue more flexibility to address
the fundamental struggles stu-
dents and schools are experienc-
ing. That is why I requested a Gov-
ernment Accountability Office
study. This study will help Con-
gress determine what action to
take to improve the standards in a
way that ensures kids are fed nu-
tritious and filling meals in a way
that is also cost effective for our
schools.
Representative Noem has vis-
ited a number of South Dakota
schools and spoken with students,
parents, teachers, food service di-
rectors and administrators and
has heard concerns regarding the
adequacy of the calorie maximum,
the cost of the new requirements,
and increased food waste in school
cafeterias.

Many schools are also concerned
the requirements limit their flexi-
bility and make it more difficult to
adapt their menus to meet the
preferences and needs of their stu-
dents and school communities.
Representative Noem has been a
leading voice on questioning the
new standards. Most recently, she
was joined by House Committee on
Education and the Workforce
Chairman John Kline (R-MN) and
Representative Phil Roe, M.D. (R-
TN) in requesting a Government
Accountability Office (GAO) study
into the new standards.
On November 28, Representa-
tive Noem announced that the
GAO has agreed to conduct the
study, which will help determine
the on-the-ground impacts of the
new standards and provide guid-
ance on how Congress might be
able to address challenges.

galls house in De Smet, Dakota

In The Long Winter, Laura In-
galls Wilder describes how she and
her family faced the hard winter of
1880-81.
That Christmas, small striped
packages by each place at the table
contained Christmas candy. There
were presents, too. Laura, her sis-
ter Carrie and Ma had combined
their money to purchase a pair of
blue suspenders for Pa.
Laura gave a cardboard hair re-
ceiver to Ma and a roll of knitted
lace to her sister Mary. She found
the prettiest card she had been
given in Sunday school and placed
it in a frame for Carrie.
Baby Grace tore the paper from
her gift to reveal a toy.
The two cans of oysters that Pa
had bought from the store were
combined with the last of the milk
the Ingalls cow gave to make a
Christmas dinner of oyster soup.
Oh, what a lovely Christmas,
Carrie sighed. Laura thought so
too.
Whatever happened, they could
always have a merry Christmas,
Ingalls wrote in The Long Winter.
Christmas, whether one was a
pioneer in town, in the Army or a
homesteader, was observed on the
frontier, as evidenced in different
writings about the day.
In A Frontier Army Christmas
compiled by Lori A. Cox-Paul and
Dr. James W. Wengert, 1st Sgt.
Ragnar Theodor Ling-Vannerus of
the Seventh Cavalry wrote of his
camps holiday preparations at
Pine Ridge in 1890: Every tent
was decorated with firs and twigs,
and long garlands of evergreens
were stretched between the tents.
At each end of the picket lines,
sheaves were put up In the
kitchens everybody was busy;
turkeys and geese were roasted or
grilled and filled with apples and
other delicacies, whole pigs were

A merry prairie Christmas
hung on the broaches, pastries and
cakes were baked, and so on
Eventually came the feast ea-
gerly longed-for, and mighty was
the drinking among high and low
Along the walls there were low
seats covered with a mixed collec-
tion of skin rugs, in whose soft,
warm furs it was delightful to rest,
while speeches, toasts, and songs
made time unnoticeably go by.
There were also Christmas gifts
from near and far.
In June 1909, 21-year-old Eliza-
beth Corey came to South Dakota
to stake out a claim, homestead
the land and to teach school.
She filed claim to land 10 miles
southwest of Pierre, along the Bad
River.
The letters she wrote to her fam-
ily in Iowa from 1909 to 1919 are
contained in the State Archives of
the South Dakota State Historical
Society at the Cultural Heritage
Center in Pierre. The letters are
the basis of Bachelor Bess.
Corey wrote of her first Christ-
mas as a homesteader, I have
three Xmas presents. Mrs. Stone
gave me a beauty of a button box.
Myrtle gave me a pretty Xmas
card and Speers gave me an enam-
eled quart cup Xmas day there
was lots of company and lots to do
so I never had time to get home-
sick. Just before supper Howard
hitched to the bobsleigh and we
went to take Ben Share some
Xmas goodies.
All was not calm on Christmas
Day 1862 in Yankton, Dakota Ter-
ritory.
According to Christmas on the
American Frontier 1800-1900 by
John E. Baur, a brawl broke out
between a supporter of territorial
legislator J.B.S Todd and a backer
of territorial Governor William
Jayne. Todds supporter threw in
the towel and Jaynes defender
broke the mans thumb.

Its not magic. Brewing the per-
fect cup of coffee can take place in
your own kitchen!
As with any recipe, fresh, high-
quality ingredients matter. Start
with fresh, cold water. If you dont
like the taste of your tap water, use
filtered water for better flavor.
Remember, grinding coffee in
advance of brewing means loss of
flavor. So invest in a coffee grinder
for a fresher brew.
How to brew the perfect cup
of coffee every morning
Not all coffee beans are created
equally -- rely on a coffee with dis-
tinctive flavor profiles and consis-
tent roasting, such as Portland
Roasting Coffee, named by Roast
Magazine as the 2012 Roaster of
the Year.
Use two tablespoons of ground
coffee per six ounce of water.
Make sure your brewing device
reaches between 195F-205F to ex-
tract maximum flavor.
checking the data to make sure
were making a difference, the
governor said. The oversight com-
mittee will make sure these recom-
mendations dont just sit on a
shelf.

The Wall Eagles boys basketball
team faced a determined Oelrichs
Tigers team Tuesday night, De-
cember 18th in their home opener.
The Eagles jumped out to an
early 15-12 first quarter lead, but
the Tigers tied the game up at
halftime with a last second three
pointer 32-32.
The Eagles regained the lead by
the end of the third quarter 50-45,
but the Tigers started hitting the
three point shot late in the fourth
quarter to take a commanding lead
63-70.
The Tigers made every free
throw late in the game to seal the
victory for a final score of 70-77.
The Eagles had several
turnovers late in the game that
gave the ball back to the Tigers
and Jon Garnier took advantage of
every opportunity by going 3-3
from the three point line and 6-6
from the free throw line.
The Eagles have a couple weeks
to sharpen their skills on both of-
fense and defense before they re-
sume play in Wall on January 3,
2013 against Rapid City Christian.
Tyler Peterson was the leading
scorer for the Eagles with 16
points off the bench, while Lane
Hustead and Tyler Trask had 13
points and 12 points respectively.
Clancy Lytle finished with 11
points and Trevor Anderson and
Tucker ORourke each had nine
points on the night.
ORourke led the Eagles with
nine rebounds, while Peterson fin-
ished the game with seven re-
bounds.
Hustead led the Eagles with five
assist and Anderson had four as-
sist and zero turnovers in his home
opener as a Wall Eagle.
The team was 28-70 from the
field for 40 percent and 9-13 from
the free throw line for 69 percent.
I was happy with how hard the
boys played throughout the night,
but we will need to be more patient
on offense and continue to improve
our defensive effort over the next
couple weeks.
As a first year head coach, I
have learned a lot over our first
four games and I have made sev-
Eagles lose first home game to Oelrichs
eral mistakes as well, but our team
has stayed together through the
ups and downs and we will make
the adjustments needed over the
Christmas break to be a better
team in 2013.

Wall News
Gathered by Frances Poste
All of those who attended the
concert of Wall School Jr. High and
High School gave good reviews. It
was stated that Ms. Christiansen
brings out a lot of talent. You could
tell the big difference between the
grade school band and high school
goes to show what practice will
do more confident and profes-
sional. Good work, kids!
Lisa Curtis, another local girl,
graduated from Chadron State
College. We offer our congratula-
tions!
The United Methodist Church
School Christmas program took
place on Wednesday evening. It
followed a supper put on by the
United Methodist Men. Good food
and a very nice program. Around
20 of those, second grade through
eighth grade, put on a skit The
Unexpected Guest. There must
have been 35 children in all with
four teachers and Paster Darwin
Kopfmann and Dorothy Shearer,
music. Thanks to all of them and
also, those who volunteer without
getting recognition.
Maxine and Jim Smith were in
Wall on Thursday afternoon and
stopped to see Frances Poste. A lit-
tle gift exchanging took place as
they wont see each other until
after Christmas sometime.
The Wall School will start their
Christmas vacation on Friday, De-
cember 21st, and school will be
back in session on January 2nd.
Friday, December 21st, is also
the first day of winter and the
shortest day of the year (fewest
daylight hours). Think all of us
will be glad to see longer hours of
daylight.
Congratulations to those win-
ners of the decorating contest put
on by the Wall Celebration Com-
mittee. Havent heard the list of
winners from the drawing at the
pancake supper.
Kathy (Clark) Furrey of Winner,
is at her home in Peno Basin mak-
ing plans to have Christmas there.
The family will all gather.
Mary Jane Doyle had a scare
when her blood pressure elevated.
She spent the night in the hospital
but is doing okay.
There are people in our commu-
nity that are still in need of
prayers Celine Trask and Karen
Delbridge from out of town, Del-
bert Sebade, Peggy Lurz, Pearl
Lurz and Linda Hook. Our
thoughts and prayers are with all
of them.
We may have a white Christ-
mas after all. Forecast is light
snow possible on Monday, the
24th, and Christmas Day. Even if
we dont get snow it will be colder.
Have a good week!

On Tuesday, December 18, Black
Hills Federal Credit Union cele-
brated the groundbreaking of its
newest Member Service Center in
Pierre, South Dakota.
Expected to open in the fall of
2013, the new 6,662 square foot fa-
cility is being built at 1530 N.
Garfield Ave, next to Wal-Mart.
The full-service location will host
nine offices, five drive-up lanes and
a deposit taking ATM.
According to Jerry Schmidt, Vice
President of Operations, the new
office will be an expanded version
of their most recent Member Serv-
ice Centers in Rapid City. We con-
tinue to improve on each facility we
build and this is no exception. It is
our most environmentally consci-
entious branch, said Schmidt.
The geothermal system greatly re-
duces energy consumption and
costs and when combined with in-
floor hydronic heat, we further im-
prove the comfort of our members
and staff.
This will be the first Black Hills
Federal Credit Union location in
the Pierre area. Black Hills FCU
serves residents in western South
Dakota from offices in Rapid City,
Custer, Hot Springs, Spearfish and
Wall and recently added a location
in Eagle Butte, 90 miles northwest
of Pierre.
We are excited to join the Pierre
community, said Roger Heacock,
President and CEO of Black Hills
FCU. Pierre provides us the op-
portunity to add a convenient loca-
tion to serve new and existing
members. We have a history of pro-
viding quality financial products
and services, were staffed with a
terrific team of people, and we
truly care about our members.
Established in Rapid City in
1941, Black Hills FCU is a commu-
nity chartered credit union serving
more than 57,000 members. The
Member Service Center in Pierre
will be the twelfth Black Hills FCU
location in South Dakota.

member service center in Pierre

FOCUS ON THE FAMILY
with Dr. James
Dobson
Dr. Dobson Answers
your Questions
QuESTiON: How should my
husband relate to his female boss?
Occasionally, she needs to discuss a
business matter with him that re-
quires privacy and so she will
schedule a lunch appointment with
him alone. Im uncomfortable with
this, but he sees no alternative
since this kind of practice is com-
mon and expected in his line of
work. In fact, to raise this as a con-
cern would make things difficult for
him professionally. What are your
thoughts and what should he do?
ANSwEr: Before saying any-
thing else we want to commend you
on your zeal for protecting your
marriage. Its obvious that you care
deeply about preserving the in-
tegrity of your relationship with
your husband. We wish more hus-
bands and wives had this kind of
commitment to marital purity. Too
many people nowadays seem con-
tent to accept the status quo. They
go along with whats common and
expected without much thought or
resistance. If we want to live Gods
way, there are going to be times
when we will have to be willing to
push back against the culture.
For better or for worse, circum-
stances like those youve described
have become a normal part of con-
temporary life. A hundred years ago
men and women rarely mingled in
the workplace. Nowadays they
labor side by side on a daily basis.
Whats more, many companies em-
ploy just as many females as males
in middle- and upper-management
positions. If you, your husband, and
your marriage are going to survive
and thrive in the modern world,
youre going to have to find ways to
deal with these inescapable reali-
ties.
There is, of course, one thing
these cultural changes havent al-
tered or eliminated. Were talking
about the importance of establish-
ing meaningful boundaries. These
boundaries are needed to protect a
couples relationship against out-
side threats. Youre right to be
thinking in terms of maintaining
such hedges.
There are a number of ways you
and your husband can do this. The
first step is to make sure that hes
on the same page with you. If he
isnt, youll have to sit down and dis-
cuss your concerns with him in
earnest. If he agrees that some-
thing needs to be done about the sit-
uation, you might suggest that he
assume responsibility for starting
the process. He could begin by
speaking openly and honestly with
his boss. Once she understands
where hes coming from, she might
be willing to make some appropri-
ate changes. For example, wherever
possible she might make an effort to
include other employees in offsite
business luncheons. Matters that
must be kept strictly private could
be discussed at the office, behind
closed doors if necessary, but in
close proximity to other co-workers.
Meanwhile, it may be worth your
while to examine your motives.
Make sure youre not operating on
the basis of unwarranted fears or
an unhealthy need for control. A
great deal depends upon the under-
lying reasons for your uneasiness
about your husbands work environ-
ment. Is there a history of infidelity
in your marriage? Are there any
other reasons to suppose that your
husbands luncheons with the boss
might pose a threat to the stability
of your relationship? What about
the circumstances under which
these business meetings are con-
ducted? Is there anything unusual
about them? For instance, have any
of these conferences been scheduled
after working hours? Do they take
place in locations (like a cocktail
lounge) that might be considered in-
appropriate?
If not, is it possible that some
part of your concern stems from
previous hurts and difficult experi-
ences? Is there something in your
family background that might ac-
count for your anxiety a divorce,
an affair, abuse or neglect of some
kind? Do you struggle with feelings
of insecurity or low-self esteem? Do
you and your husband find it hard
to talk about your deepest thoughts
and emotions?
If the answer to any of these
questions is yes, wed urge you to
seek professional assistance. A
trained therapist can help you and
your husband perform an assess-
ment of your marriage and point
out both the strengths and weak-
nesses of your relationship.

By Pastor Cornelius R. Stam
Abrahams faith in God was strong. When God
called him to forsake his family, friends and country,
he obeyed and went forth, not knowing whither he
went. When God promised to multiply his seed as the
stars of heaven, he believed it, though childless.
When, in his old age, God promised that he would still
have a son by ninety-year-old Sarah, he believed it
even though he had waited so long, seemingly in vain.
When God promised to give his seed the land in which
he had sojourned, he believed it, though all reason ar-
gued against it. When God asked him to offer in sac-
rifice the son born so late in life, the son upon whom
all the promises depended, he obeyed, concluding
that it must be Gods plan to raise him from the dead!
Such was Abrahams faith in God! Three times this
is emphasized in Romans 4 alone: He was not weak
in faith (Ver. 19); he staggered not at the promise of
God through unbelief, but was strong in faith (Ver.
20).
But it was not the strength of Abrahams faith that
saved him; it was the fact that the object of his faith
was God (See again Gen. 15:6). He had placed his
faith in the right Person. His faith became strong only
because he had heard and believed God in the first
place.
For what saith the Scripture? Abraham be-
lieved God, and it was counted unto him for
righteousness, and thus to him that worketh
not, but believeth on Him that justifieth the un-
godly, his faith is counted for righteousness
(Rom. 4:3,5).
The simplest, humblest believer, who ever so feebly
commits himself to God and His Word, is justified
freely by His grace through the redemption that is in
Christ Jesus (Rom. 3:24).

William John Goldhammer___________
William John Goldhammer of
Hebron, Neb., is the beloved son of
Tim and Beth. Will was born on
June 12, 1991 in Norfolk, Neb. He
left this world full of wonders on
December 21, 2012.
Will attended school in Hebron
and graduated from Thayer Cen-
tral with the class of 2010. He was
pursuing his undergraduate degree
in sociology at the University of
Nebraska in Lincoln, Neb. For the
past two summers, he worked for
the Habitat for Humanity.
From the moment he entered our
lives Will brought all that knew
him great joy. That joy was in-
creased by the arrival of his treas-
ured sister Maggie. Will lived life
at full speed joy, kindness,
humor, love and light heartedness.
He was the rare individual that
saw the best in everyone. He
brought the good out in people. His
sense of humor was without
bounds.
Wills love of life was evidenced
in his every day. People connected
with his magnetic and energetic
personality. If Will loved you it was
with ease and depth. He pulled you
close and kept you there. His fam-
ily and friends will never wonder
how he felt. He would tell them
constantly and with conviction.
Music and adventure were his
great passion. And the two usually
intertwined. Some of the best times
he had were with a group of
friends, packed in a car, traveling
16 hours to hear Mumford and
Sons.
He loved the Black Hills, the
Badlands, Goodwill T-shirts, shoot-
ing clay pigeons and any kind of
cheese. His family was blessed to
have had him for the 21 years. The
blessing of Will shall stay with us
always.
Will was baptized into the
Catholic faith July 14, 1991 and a
member of Sacred Heart Catholic
Church in Hebron.
He is preceded in death by his
beloved grandmothers, Sallie Gold-
hammer and Barbara Tyson; and
his cousin and friend, Lane Gold-
hammer.
His life was witnessed and
shared by his dad and mom, Tim
and Beth; and his sister Maggie of
Hebron. Grandfathers, Paul Gold-
hammer and his wife Judy of Wall,

FINANCIAL FOCUS
FivE rEASONS NOT TO
BE A "DO-iT-YOurSELF"
iNvESTOr
Richard Wahlstrom
www.edwardjones.com
These days, you can go online
and invest, for modest fees. You
can also visit various websites for
research and watch numerous
cable shows for investment recom-
mendations. So, why shouldnt you
be a do-it-yourself investor
rather than work with a financial
professional?
Actually, there are at least five
good reasons why a financial advi-
sor can help make you a better in-
vestor.
A financial advisor can:
Ask the right questions If
you try to invest on your own, you
may find yourself asking the
wrong questions, such as: Whats
the hottest investment out there?
A financial professional can help
frame better questions, such as:
Given my individual risk toler-
ance and long-term goals, which
investments should I consider to
help me build a balanced portfo-
lio? In other words, a financial
professional can help you ask the
questions that can lead to better
results.
Look at your situation objec-
tively No matter how hard you
try, you wont be able to take all
the emotion out of your investment
choices. After all, your investment
success will play a large role in
some key areas of your life, such as
your ability to enjoy a comfortable
retirement. Consequently, if you
think youre not making the
progress you should with your in-
vestments, you may be tempted to
make a hasty decision to give your
portfolio a jolt. Frequently,
though, such choices can backfire.
When it comes to investing, its
better to invest with your head,
not your heart. A financial advisor
can analyze your situation, assess
your risk tolerance and make ap-
propriate recommendations.
Show a deeper understanding
of investment research You can
look up many types of financial
data on your own. But do you know
how to put all these pieces to-
gether into a cohesive picture? A fi-
nancial professional, with years of
experience and training, is gener-
ally more capable of finding the re-
search sources and making the
most sense out of the results.
Put experience to work in mak-
ing portfolio recommendations.
Even if youve been investing for
many years, you might be sur-
prised at all the underlying influ-
ences that should go into making
investment decisions. But a finan-
cial professional understands mar-
ket patterns, the nature of diversi-
fication and other factors neces-
sary in helping you make the right
choices for your situation.
Spend time looking for oppor-
tunities Even if you enjoy the
process of investing, the chances
are quite good that you cant spend
as much time on it as a financial
professional. That means, among
other things, you arent constantly
on the lookout for new investment
opportunities. Nor are you always
looking within your own portfolio
for opportunities to rebalance or
make other adjustments that can
help you move forward toward
your goals. But when you work
closely with a financial advisor, he
or she is exploring the financial
markets for new investment
prospects while regularly review-
ing your portfolio for possibilities
of upgrading quality, increasing di-
versification or making adjust-
ments in response to changes in
your life.
The do-it-yourself route may
be fine for home repairs. But when
it comes to managing your invest-
ment situation, there are benefits
to working with a professional.
Delbert Sebade__________________
Delbert Sebade, age 95, of Wall,
S.D., died Sunday, December 23,
2012, at his home in Wall.
Delbert James Sebade was born
on September 16, 1917, on Bull
Creek, west of Wall, the son of
Henry and Anna (Mooney) Sebade.
He attended school in Wall, gradu-
ating from Wall High School in
1935. After high school he moved
to Chillicothe, Mo., where he re-
ceived training at a business
school.
After traveling to Nebraska with
a piston out of their 35 Plymouth,
Delbert and his soon-to-be wife,
Armista Ronning, stopped and
picked up a marriage license. After
adding one year on to her age, and
two marriage licenses later, Del-
bert and Armista were married on
November 15, 1941. To this union
were born four children, Sandra,
Norbert, Rosalind and Marsha.
Since 1963 they have made their
home in Wall.
Delbert had a lifetime of work in
the banking business. He joined
the U.S. Army on November 23,
1942, where he served in the in-
fantry in Northern France,
Rhineland and Central Europe. He
was honorably discharged on Octo-
ber 26, 1945.
Delbert was active in civic, busi-
ness, fraternal and social organiza-
tions.
Survivors include four children,
Sandra (Everett) Lerew of Valley,
Neb., Norbert (Jane) Sebade of
Rapid City, Rosalind Ham of Hud-
son, Colo., and Marsha Lytle of
Reva; 10 grandchildren; 17 great-
grandchildren; two sisters, Bernice
Anderson and Edith Paulson, both

He was preceded in death by his

Provisions of South Dakota law
will bar motorists from purchasing
1933 license plates in instances
where they failed to buy a license
for their dogs for 1932. It was re-
vealed in the County Treasurers
office today. A provision of the state
law provides all personal taxes
must be paid before a license plate
can be issued. Averaging about $5
a piece, the 1,000 warrants repre-
sented $5,000 in unpaid taxes
which were due November 1.
Friday evening, Wasta high
school boys basketball team
played Quinn high school. The
score was 30 to 18 in favor of
Quinn. The same evening the high
school girls and town girls of
Quinn met for a game. The high
school girls won 19 to 13.
The following item is taken from
last weeks issue of the Quinn
Times. With this issue the Quinn
Times has incorporated the Wall
Enterprise. The deal was made the
first of the week and the Quinn
Times now is owner of and in pos-
session of the name, subscription
list, goodwill and equipment of the
aforesaid Wall Enterprise.
70 years ago
Wall had a partial blackout Sat-
urday and Sunday. Frost and ice is
the supposed reason. Two of the
three phases went out at 12:30 Fri-
day night with one coming back at
10:00 a.m. and the other at 5:00
p.m. Early Sunday morning, one
phase was out until 8:00 a.m.
Miss Opal Pippert is showing
her friends a big diamond that she
says Santa brought her for Christ-
mas.
Howard Connolly, clerk of the
Town Board, received last week a
four page analysis of the Towns fil-
tration process from the State De-
partment of Health. The report
was highly recommendable and
only a few minor changes were
suggested. Samples obtained from
several places about town showed
that there was only a slight taste
of chlorine present.
Very unusual weather condi-
tions, accompanied by heavy mail
has delayed the mail carriers so
that they could not maintain their
schedules. In fact the roads were
so bad Tuesday that it was impos-
sible to serve portions of the
routes.
Two 17-year-old Sibley, Iowa,
farm youths, Paul D. Newman and
Robert W. Gruis, were given inde-
terminate sentences of one to five
years in the state penitentiary for
third degree burglary, Friday af-
ternoon in Pennington County cir-
cuit court by Judge Charles R.
Hayes of Deadwood. The two
youths admitted breaking into the
Reptile Gardens south of Rapid
City, October 10 and stealing a
large quantity of merchandise.
They also obtained a few smaller
items from the Herb Millard Pin-
nacle Camp, and were thought to
have picked up some items from
the Wall Drug Store. Judge Hayes
declared that if they hadnt com-
mitted previous offenses, he would
not have sentenced them to the
penitentiary. The two boys, who
completed the tenth grade, admit-
ted committing a robbery last
spring, and being paroled to their
parents.

The Wall Hot Shots are getting
hotter as the basketball season
gets further along. After dropping
their first game to a team from
Rapid City by a close score, they
came back to swamp Philip, 64 to
18; and then down Interior Mon-
day night, 58 to 23.
The WREA stopped electric
clocks and everything else electric
Tuesday as lineman worked to con-
nect temporary substation trans-
formers to the new highline. These
transformers will be used only
until next spring when the perma-
nent high voltage transformers are
expected to be ready for operation.
The Wall Eagles were unable to
make very much of a showing
against the strong quintet of
Quinn in a game played on the
local floor, Thursday evening.
Quinns tall center, Bobby Kelly, ei-
ther scored himself or passed to
one of his team mates to toss in the
bucket. On defense, the tall lad
was just as effective as he grabbed
the ball from the bangboard and
held it out of the reach of others.
He scored 32 points, half of
Quinns tallies, and almost as
many points as Walls team. The
final score was Quinn 64, Wall 38.

The Wall Eagles lost their three
away from home games the past
week and hope to be able to re-
deem themselves in their home
game with Hill City tomorrow
night. The Rapid City Cathedral
team were held in check for most
of the first half on the Cathedral
floor Friday night but their supe-
rior height was too much of a
handicap for Wall and they
dropped the game by 13 points.
Saturday night the Eagles played
at Martin, where again they were
forced to give ground and lost by a
final score of 67 to 53. Tuesday
night, they played at Kadoka
where they lost to a more experi-
enced team, 54 to 45.
Another Wall landmark, the A.
C. Kingsbury Hardware has been
moved from its prominent location
on Main Street to make room for a
more modern building the new
Wall Bank. The corner lot No. 12
was purchased June 12, 1908 by
W. P. Wiley from Wm. A. Mackrill.
Wiley built a hardware store on
this corner, and three years later
sold to W. F. Weary. And July 31,
1911 sold this property to A. C.
Kingsbury. In the latter years the
building was taken over by Fred
Deakman and then sold to Orval
Doyle. The Bank purchased the
lots a few months ago, and in turn
sold the buildings to Bob Biel-
maier.
Fire Saturday afternoon dam-
aged the interior of a vacant build-
ing that Joe Knapp had just moved
on to his Hill Crest Camp in north
Wall. Firemen were called when a
gas explosion started the fire. A
heater had been connected to a gas
line, but a connection in another
room had been left open. When the
heater was lit, the explosion took
place. Luckily there were no in-
juries.

A stubborn, smoldering fire in
the Bob Lytle home Saturday
caused Wall firemen to make three
trips before the embers were com-
pletely subdued. When Bob came
home at noon he found his home
filled with smoke. He called the
fire department who arrived and
after clearing the place from
smoke thought the fire was out.
The third call found the fire be-
tween the walls, and after chop-
ping some holes, they were able to
extinguish the remaining smolder-
ing timbers. The house belongs to
Charles Tines and suffered mostly
smoke damage.
Norman Klingbile reports that
the car of Roger Fortune that was
stolen from the streets of Wall
about a month ago was found by
the police in New Mexico and the
driver jailed. The Criminal Infor-
mation Service is credited for the
pick up.

Last week was a busy one for the
Wall Eagles. They added two wins
and one loss to their record. The
wins came against New Under-
wood on Tuesday, 72 to 46, and
Bennett County on Friday 46 to
41. Saturday, the Eagles lost to St.
Martins in overtime with a final
score of 65 to 69.
Walls gymnasts ended up in
third place by just three tenths of
a point Monday evening. Custer
won the meet with 94.3 points and
Hot Springs narrowly beat Wall
with 81.3. On its home floor Wall
finished with 81.0 points.
Jerry Johannesen was recently
selected Fireman of the Year for
1982 by the Wall Volunteer Fire
Department. The selection was
made on an individual basis with
every member at the November
meeting putting in a name. The
award is part of an incentive pro-
gram and is based on the firemans
overall contribution to the fire de-
partment. Johannesen has been a
member of the fire department for
nine years. He served as assistant
fire chief for four years.
Last week the Wall Eagles
added two more wins to their bas-
ketball record. In a wrestling and
basketball double header in Philip
last Tuesday the Eagles put the
Philip Scotties in their place with
a 71-46 runaway. At home against
Kadoka, the Eagles went into their
holiday break with a 64-59 victory.

The Looking Glass of Time
This day and age it seems every-
one is so maxed out. The pressure
is on us all to perform at such a
high degree just to survive. Tem-
pers seem to flare so easily and so-
lutions are hard to implement.
Stress is so high that many are
paralyzed in their thinking and liv-
ing. Stress related illness and dis-
ease are running rampant and tak-
ing its toll. We need to fix this now.
In all reality, overcoming worry
and anxiety can be a simple process
when we begin to understand that
worry is our mind working in re-
verse to hold us back-a bad habit
that can and must be changed.
This habit of fear and worry always
has a devastating impact on our
mental and physical wellbeing, so
if we are to overcome worry and
anxiety in our lives, we must deter-
mine to take control of our thought
life and begin to move in a forward
direction with new and more pro-
ductive habits of thinking.
So, how do we do that? Well, as
you may know, I could talk for
hours on the subject of stress man-
agement, so can only share a few of
the strategies that have worked for
me over the years. I have found
that in order to develop habits of
right thinking that will ultimately
help us to overcome worry and anx-
iety in my life, we need to make
sure our priorities are in the cor-
rect order. For me, that means
more time spent in prayer and de-
votion, for that is where my peace
comes from. That is the first step.
Daily remind yourself that "this
too shall pass." Time changes
things and difficulties always have
a way of moving on. I always ask
myself "what is the worst that can
happen?" and then prepare to ac-
cept the worst. Then I start looking
for solutions to the problems and
challenges I am facing. This action
step alone helps you overcome.
(And do you know, the worst you
imagine rarely happens.)
Make it a point to refuse to let
the economy, or your job or your
boss, or any other negative thing
control your life. You are the deci-
sion maker for your life. You choose
your attitude.
When you discover that your de-
cisions and choices have gone
wrong, don't start placing blame.
Take responsibility. It's never easy
to admit you were wrong, but in
doing so, the stress is often relieved
completely and you are free to
change course and make right
choices, unburdened and unhin-
dered.
Probably my best advice to you is
to be more aware of when you start
feeling the stress building up in
you, and instead of trying to plough
through it while you let all those
negative emotions eat you alive,
just stop! Take a moment to regain
your bearings. Take a deep breath
to relax and gain control of your
emotions. Remind yourself that
you are building a new and positive
habit of thinking and reacting that
will help you to overcome stress
and anxiety.
It's a Monday, and I can almost
guarantee something stressful will
occur almost any time now. How
will you react? The decision is
yours.

S.D. state parks celebrate the New Year
with first day hikes across the state
South Dakota state parks will
sponsor free, guided hikes in 12
state parks on New Years Day as
part of America's State Parks First
Day Hikes initiative in all 50
states.
Americas State Parks First Day
Hikes offer individuals and fami-
lies an opportunity to begin the
New Year rejuvenating and con-
necting with the outdoors by taking
a healthy hike on Jan. 1 at a state
park close to home. First Day
Hikes offer a great way to get out-
side, exercise, enjoy nature and
welcome the New Year with friends
and family.
We are excited to host First Day
Hikes as part of this national effort
to get people outdoors and into our
parks. First Day Hikes are a great
way to cure cabin fever and burn
off those extra holiday calories by
starting off the New Year with an
invigorating walk or hike in one of
our beautiful state parks, said
State Parks and Recreation Direc-
tor Doug Hofer.
First Day Hikes originated more
than two decades ago at the Blue
Hills Reservation, a state park in
Milton, Mass. The program was
launched to promote both healthy
lifestyles throughout the year and
year-round recreation at state
parks. Last year marked the first
time all 50 state park systems
sponsored First Day Hikes, offering
400 hikes nationwide.

America's State Parks is commit-
ted to promoting outdoor recreation
in state parks as a way to address
obesity, especially among children.
Getting kids outside and un-
plugged from video games and
other electronic media creates a
unique connection with nature that
promotes physical and mental well-
being and encourages creativity
and stewardship of our shared re-
sources.
