by Laurie Hindman The most critical need we haveis getting locals to volunteer to be-come EMTs was the main focus ofthe Wall Ambulance meeting heldon Monday, October 15. Board members with the help ofDick Johnson reviewed several adsthat had been placed in the Pen-nington County Courant. The adwill run for the next two weeksand will include “Critical need ofEMTs” in the wording. By-laws for the district were re-examined. Carolynn Anderson hadmade a few changes to different ar-ticles within the by-laws. Theboard reviewed these changes andelected to strike some of the themand agreed to accept the otherchanges. Anderson will make theappropriate changes and resendthem to the board for their review. Due to state statute the board isrequired to hold an election attheir first quarterly meeting to beheld in February or March of 2013.Carolynn Anderson feels thereshouldn’t be an election as boardmembers haven’t completed theirfull term yet. Norman Eisenbraunand Jem Kjerstad were under theimpression that they would onlyhold their seat until the first elec-tion. It was decided there would bean election in 2013 and Eisen-braun’s position would be filled fora three year term. Kjerstad’s posi-tion would also be up but that seatwould be filled with someone tocomplete a three year term with

Rapid City Journal staff A Wisconsin man must pay

$10,000 in fines and restitution forillegally killing a buffalo in Bad-lands National Park. Some South Dakotans aren'tsure that's enough. Jeff Olson, a Rapid City dentistand chairman of the state Game,Fish & Parks Commission, said hewished that 42-year-old JosephWilmet of Green Bay had to servesome jail time along with the fineand restitution. "Or maybe he should be bannedfrom hunting for life," Olson said.Somebody who illegally kills abison in a national park is apoacher, not a hunter, Olson said."Please do not use 'hunter' and thisguy in the same sentence," he said."Real hunters don't do that." In a guilty plea agreement an-nounced Tuesday by U.S. AttorneyBrendan Johnson in Sioux Falls,Wilmet admitted to details aboutthe incident on November 15,2010, and agreed to one year ofprobation, a $5,000 fine and$5,000 in restitution to the park.The details included the fact thathe shot the buffalo, also calledbison, partially butchered it in the

field and loaded parts into a trailerto haul out of the park. A park ranger later found thecarcass and began an investigationthat included state Game, Fish &Parks officers and the PenningtonCounty Sheriff's Office. Officerseventually found Wilmet at amotel in Wall after noting suspi-cious items in a black Ford pickup

with an enclosed trailer. The items included a rifle, spot-light, bloody plastic wrap, bloodysaw blade and a saw. Also, bloodwas dripping from the rear door ofthe trailer, according to a courtdocument. When confronted at themotel, Wilmet opened the trailerand admitted the crime. "I shot it," he said, according to

the document. Susan Ricci of Rapid City, direc-tor of Friends of the Badlands non-profit park support group, said shewas shocked when she heard aboutthe poaching. "To me, it's a horrendous crimebecause it intrudes upon theserenity and peace of our nationalpark," Ricci said. "Nothing likethis should happen in our nationalparks. There are designated placeswhere people who want to go hunt-ing buffalo can do that." Ricci said she struggles to un-derstand what impulse would leadto such a despicable act. "I just wonder what he wasthinking," she said. "Obviously, hewasn't thinking. The stiffer thesentence the better. You need ahuge deterrent so something likethis doesn't happen again." Journal calls to Badlands Na-tional Park on Tuesday were re-ferred to Superintendent EricBrunnemann. Brunnemann didn'timmediately return a message lefton his office voice mail. A park staffer said many person-nel were involved in the annualbuffalo roundup there this week.During the roundup, buffalo areweighed, examined and tested fordisease.

only two years remaining. Then in2014, Wally Hoffman and EldenHelm’s terms would be up andthose positions would be filled fora three year term. Then in 2015,Anderson and the person who waselected in 2013 to fill Kjerstad’s po-sition would be up for a three yearterm. So this first round with thecurrent board, no one in realitywill be serving the complete termssince the district was formed in themiddle of the year. President Hoffman has visited

with Keystone and they are not in-terested in sharing an ambulancedirector due to financial con-straints. Hoffman will contact HillCity to get their take on sharing adirector. Elden Helms would like for allthe directors to go up to the ambu-lance building and take a lookaround. Anderson asked when the boardwould like to get an actual insur-ance quote since they are close tothe 60 days out. It was decided towait until November 15 to get thequote. Anderson will also check withthe new billing service to see whenthey would like to take over thebilling operation of the amublanceservice. The board will work on a “Let-ter to the Editor” to be publishednext week stressing the need forcommunity members to becomeEMTs.

New accountability system identifies top-performing schools Twenty-three elementary and

middle schools and seven highschools have earned top spotsunder the state’s new accountabil-ity system. EXEMPLARY SCHOOLS (topfive percent of schools based onSchool Performance Index scores) •Elementary/MiddleWall Elementary, Wall SchoolDistrict •High SchoolWall High School, Wall SchoolDistrict As part of South Dakota’s waiverfrom No Child Left Behind, thestate was required to identify thetop five percent of public schools,as well as the lowest five percentof Title I schools, this fall. Theschools were identified, in mostcases, based on their scores on thenew School Performance Index, orSPI, a 100-point index that encom-passes key indicators that meas-ure school performance.

At the elementary and middleschool level, those SPI key indica-tors include student achievementin math and reading on the stateassessment and attendance rates.At the high school level, those SPIkey indicators include studentachievement in math and readingon the state assessment, four-yearcohort graduation rate, and ACTscores in English and math.

This is a transitional year forthe new accountability system. Ad-ditional indicators, including aca-demic growth, will be added to theSchool Performance Index by the2014-15 school year. Once fully im-plemented, the department plansto use three years of data for mostof the SPI key indicators. This cur-rent calculation is based upon onlyone year of data.

“A review of the data shows thata majority of our schools are per-forming well, and our students arereaching appropriate bench-marks,” said Dr. Melody Schopp,South Dakota’s secretary of educa-tion. “Kudos to those educators,students and parents who are com-mitted to seeing that our childrenare getting the knowledge andskills base that will see themthrough life.”

According to Schopp, at the ele-mentary and middle school level,82 percent of schools earned atleast 70 out of the 100 points pos-sible. And at the high school level,71 percent of schools earned atleast 70 out of the 100 points. It is

at the 70 mark that SPI scoresbegin to drop rapidly.

At the lower end of the spectrumare schools whose SPI scores rankamong the bottom five percent ofTitle I schools. Under the new ac-countability system, these schoolsare considered “priority” schools.

“The indicators are showing thatsomething is not working in theseschools,” Schopp said. “In certaincases, the school might be serving

a unique student population thatimpacts the results. But whateverthe case, it’s here that we, as astate and as local communities,need to make a concerted effort tomake a difference for these stu-dents. We owe it to them.”

The Department of Educationalso has identified “focus” schools,a classification that applies only toTitle I schools and considers theperformance of historically under-

performing student groups. As part of the new accountabil-

ity system, the department willwork with Priority and Focusschools to implement meaningfulinterventions designed to improvestudent outcomes.

Data for individual schools, in-cluding points earned for the vari-ous indicators, can be accessed atdoe.sd.gov/secretary/spi.aspx

Monthly Social Security andSupplemental Security Income(SSI) benefits for nearly 62 millionAmericans will increase 1.7 per-cent in 2013, the Social SecurityAdministration announced. The 1.7 percent cost-of-living ad-justment (COLA) will begin withbenefits that more than 56 millionSocial Security beneficiaries re-ceive in January 2013. Increasedpayments to more than eight mil-lion SSI beneficiaries will begin onDecember 31, 2012. Some other changes that take ef-fect in January of each year arebased on the increase in averagewages.

able maximum) will increase to$113,700 from $110,100. Of the es-timated 163 million workers whowill pay Social Security taxes in2013, nearly 10 million will payhigher taxes as a result of the in-crease in the taxable maximum. Information about Medicarechanges for 2013, when an-nounced, will be available atwww.Medicare.gov. For some ben-eficiaries, their Social Security in-crease may be partially or com-pletely offset by increases inMedicare premiums. The Social Security Act providesfor how the COLA is calculated.

Governor Dennis Daugaard hasextended an Executive Order tohaul overwidth baled livestockfeed until December 21, 2012, inSouth Dakota.

The Executive Order states that,upon receipt of a permit, permis-sion is granted to move over-widthbaled livestock feed not exceeding12-feet-wide or 15-feet-high for twohours after sunset and two hoursbefore sunrise. The order allowsmovement of overwidth baled live-stock feed until cessation of thedrought emergency, or no laterthan December 21.

Over-width vehicles must beequipped with flashing or rotatingwhite or amber warning lights oneach side of the load’s widest ex-tremity. The warning lights mustbe clearly visible to motorists ap-proaching from the front and rear.Movement under the ExecutiveOrder is valid only for baled live-stock feed.

“This year’s persistent droughtconditions have left livestock pro-ducers across South Dakota withinadequate feed supplies,” saidSouth Dakota Secretary of Agricul-ture Walt Bones. “Increasing haul-ing height and width restrictionsfor baled hay will allow producers

Overwidth baled livestock feedhauling extended 60 days in S.D.

to move feed in a more efficientmanner.”

The normal size restriction onSouth Dakota highway loads is 14-feet, three-inches high and eight-feet, six-inches wide. Although height and width re-strictions for baled livestock feedhave been temporarily increasedby Executive Order, several high-ways in the state have width andheight restrictions in place be-cause of construction or perma-nent structures that cannot accom-modate such large loads. Truckersare encouraged to check theirroutes ahead of time for those re-strictions.

For information on permits, con-tact a South Dakota port of entryor call 800-637-3255.

Dirt fills the air at the Roberts Prairie Dog town in the BadlandsNational Park, Wednesday, October 17. The dirt was so thick thatheadlights had to be turned on and drivers had to slow down toblizzard driving conditions. The prairie dogs have eatten theground bare so there was nothing to catch the dirt as winds blewin excess of 30 mph. The park had closed Rim Road as the dirtblowing in the air made driving conditions impossible. Makesone think this is what it was like in the “Dirty Thirties.”

Volunteer opportunities at theCountry Cupboard Food Pantry

Volunteer opportunities areabundant at the Country Cup-board Food Pantry (CCFP). CarolHoffman, President, requested ofthe board to find additional volun-teers at the October Board of Di-rectors meeting. The most visible volunteer isthere during the hours of opera-tion. Those hours are everyWednesday from 1:00 - 4:00 andevery third Saturday from 9:00 -11:00. Checking, sorting and stockingdonated food items can be doneanytime. Each donated items is in-spected for food safety, expirationdate and free of damage to thepackage. Donated food is receivedon a sporadic basis but needs to bedone about once a week. This is agreat opportunity for someone whoworks during business hours andwould like to help at the pantry. Shopping at the Food Bank inRapid City is a very different vol-unteer opportunity. This must bedone during the Food Bank hourswhich are Monday through Fridayduring the day. Volunteers workclosely with the Country Pantry

Board so they know what to lookfor. A reliable vehicle is necessary. The pantry appliances need tobe cleaned at least once a year ifnot twice. This past summer twocollege students accomplished thistask in addition to sanitizing allthe shelves in the pantry. Thecleaning of appliances goes a longways in maintaining this equip-ment to needed Health Depart-ment standards. Recruitment, training and coor-dination of volunteers that servethe clients is currently the greatestneed right now. As the pantrymoves toward its three years ofservice to the community a newflush of volunteers are needed inthis capacity. Food drives are vital to thepantry. Coordination of food drivesand follow up on sorting and shelv-ing the donations is needed. Thereis much flexibility in this volunteeropportunity. You can help support your foodpantry and the community in somany ways. Please contact CarolHoffman for additional informa-tion.

Slender as a whippet, the SiouxHorse Effigy is one of the most rec-ognizable and cherished artifactsin the South Dakota State Histor-ical Society’s Museum at the Cul-tural Heritage Center in Pierre.The effigy is the logo of theSDSHS. Most horse dance sticks carvedby the Lakota are of the front halfof a horse on a stick that could becarried in a dance. The SiouxHorse Effigy is considered a mas-terpiece of American Indian sculp-ture because it is the complete fig-ure of a horse. Carved out of wood,the three-foot-long dance stick isenhanced by a mane and tail ofreal horsehair, with reins and abridle made of leather. It is believed that the SiouxHorse Effigy was carved by a war-rior in the late 1800s to honor abrave horse that was injured orkilled in battle. The sides of the ef-figy are riddled with holes thatsuggest bullet wounds, with redpaint suggesting blood seeming toseep from the wounds. Its ears areslanted backward, symbolizingfear and pain. The horse sculp-ture’s elongated body and forwardleaping motion suggest a leap fromlife to death. The Sioux Horse Effigy was col-lected by Mary Collins, a mission-ary to the Lakota. Collins was born in 1846 in Illi-nois and grew up in Keokuk, Iowa.She received a Master of Arts de-gree from Ripon College in Wiscon-sin. After three years of teachingin Keokuk, she decided to becomea Congregational missionary andwas sent to Dakota Territory to bea missionary to the Lakota. She arrived at Oahe Mission, lo-cated about 12 miles north of whatis now Pierre, on Nov. 10, 1875.Ten years later, Collins moved tothe Little Eagle Station on the

The Sioux Horse Effigy andMissionary Mary Collins

Grand River, located about 20miles west of Mobridge. Her homemade of logs was used for bothschool and church. Collins learned the Lakota lan-guage and ways. Her knowledge ofmedicine resulted in her becomingknown as a “medicine woman” andgave her a status that she mightnot otherwise have had. Collins be-came friends with Sitting Bull andtried to convince the Lakota to giveup the Ghost Dance. She possesseda sense of humor and was a prac-tical woman. She taught AmericanIndians how to live well in thispresent life, how to serve God, howto build homes and how to becomeself-supporting. By all accounts,Collins was respected by theLakota. “I had dedicated my life to thiswork little knowing how much ofhard physical labor and drudgerywere required of a missionary inour own land,” Collins wrote. “Ihad been in school all my life ei-ther as a student or a teacher, sothat I was not very well fitted forhardships, and had I not felt thateverything I did was for the upliftof the Indians I could not haveheld out.” Nonetheless, she described heryears to service to the AmericanIndians as years of delight. Collins retired from the ministryin 1910 and moved back toKeokuk. There, she made the leapfrom life into death on May 25,1920. Many of her correspon-dences, including her autobiogra-phy, are contained in the SDSHSArchives.

From the desk of Superintendent Dennis Rieckman I want to share some additionalgood news we received this weekconcerning our students andspecifically the high school. TheWall High School has been listedas an exemplary school by the De-partment of Education. The highschool is one of seven high schools(top five percent) of the highschools in S.D. We are listed sixthon the list. This ranking was basedon student achievement, gradua-tion rate, and college and careerreadiness (ACT scores). Our Middle School also did ex-ceptionally well; they were not inthe top five percent, but were inthe top 10 percent. We had re-ceived noticed earlier the elemen-tary school was listed as an exem-plary school. Congratulations to allthe students and staff for receivingthese distinguished honors. I chal-lenge the students and staff tomaintain and improve on these re-sults. It will be tough, but I knowwe can get it done. The election is coming up in acouple of weeks and there are twoitems on the ballot which have animpact on education. InitiatedMeasure 15 and Referred Law 16are the two ballot issues. As thesuperintendent of the local dis-trict, I feel it is appropriate for meto share my views on these two im-portant issues. These are my viewsand they may be shared by others,but in no way are the “official” po-sition of the school district. Initiative Measure 15 is an actwhich would add a one cent salestax to all items currently having asales tax of four percent. It is ex-pected to raise an estimated 180million annually. The money willbe split between K-12 educationand Medicaid. The 90 milliongoing to education would be dis-tributed back to the school dis-tricts at about $700.00 per stu-dent. This would mean an addi-tional $169,000 in revenue for ourdistrict. This money would be usedto offset the deficit spending we

have been doing and general oper-ations within the district. We havebeen using Impact Aid money tobalance our budget and we are for-tunate to have this money avail-able to us. If wedid not have the Impact Aid moneywe would need to do what a lot ofdistricts have had to do. Theschool district would need to lookat an opt-out asking our local prop-erty taxpayers to pay more. Theone cent sales tax will help preventthis from happening and I feelmakes it a more equitable way tofund education than putting moreburden on local landowners. The other part of IM 15 is theMedicaid piece. In S.D. one ofseven people receives their health-care through Medicaid and nearlyhalf of our children born in S.D.qualify for Medicaid. The cuts to Medicaid have madeit difficult for providers to acceptthese patients. When these pa-tients are denied primary carethey often end up in the emergencyroom which drives up the cost ofhealthcare and insurance. It is astruggle already for rural healthfacilities to provide a needed andcost effective service. IM 15 willhelp health services to continueserving the rural communities. I firmly believe IM 15 is the bestway to restore the funding cutsand move forward with educa-tional funding. I know any new taxis a hard sell, but this measure willhelp kids and people with disabili-ties for many years. There aremeasures written in the law tosafeguard the funding and to makesure it is received by the schoolsunlike the video lottery money. Irespectfully ask you to considervoting YES on IM 15. Referred Law 16 was placed onthe ballot by a group of teachersand education supporters gather-ing enough signatures to do so.This was the Governor’s educationbill known as HB 1234. My biggest concern with this bill

has always been how fast this billwas passed and the local control ittakes away from school districts. This bill was change dramati-cally during the session with a lotof compromises made before thefinal passage. Proponents can saywe have local control over how wewould implement these ideas, butit still comes down to being statedirected changes. The local schoolboards are elected by local taxpay-ers to make the necessary deci-sions deem best for our school. Referred Law 16 has five mainparts to it. The five parts areteacher tenure, merit pay, bonuspay for Math and Science teachers,scholarship program for studentsgoing into Math and Science, anda standardize evaluation system. These ideas all have merit andwill likely be implemented at somelevel in the future by local choice.It should be left to the local schooldistricts to determine what fitsbest for their district. I believe HB

1234 was well intentioned, but theway it was introduced (lastminute) and passed (strong arm-ing) by one vote has left a lot ofunanswered questions and con-cerns. I respectfully ask you to con-sider voting NO on Referred Law16. If you have any questions or con-cerns on these two issues pleasecontact me at (605) 279-2156 or e-mail me at [email protected] Please exercise your right tovote and vote on November 6th.Voters are able to see the pros andcons of each of the proposed meas-ures or other amendments on theballot to help make an informeddecision.

What a week! Beautiful fall daysSunday, Monday and Tuesday.

Well, you know what happened inthe early hours of Wednesday. Ithought for sure we’d be blown atleast to Kansas! Even though Igreatly admire the “WonderfulWizard of Oz” it just didn’t seemlike the right time to go soaring offfor a visit. Lloyd had to make a trip Thurs-day to Ft. Meade. That was an ad-venture! He still is bothered withthe vertigo and doctors are tryingto find answers. It is a little frus-trating for him but he does (mostof the time) keep a sense of humor. Barb Crawford’s mother, IvaEisenbraun, had knee surgery lastweek. In July, Mrs. Eisenbraunhad surgery on her other knee.That went so well for her she de-cided to have the second knee doneso she would be able to get back togardening next summer. Iva is 93,is in good health and ready to get

to work! She will spend some timeat West Hills Village to get thetherapy going and she’ll be good asnew. Best wishes for a speedy re-covery. Wasta Fire Department wascalled to Rusty and Angela Lytle’splace, Thursday. Two hundred totwo hundred-fifty bales were con-sumed. The fire was believe tohave begun by spontaneous com-bustion and then the extreme windjust whipped it along. It was a longday for firefighters and the Lytles.That is a serious loss. Madi Grenstiner has begun bas-ketball practice with the Eaglesjunior high team. Madi enjoys thesport and is in the band as well. Ash Grenstiner has been in-volved with jujitsu for severalyears and is now among thewounded warriors. She explainedthat the accident happened as sheand another student were workingon a move and however thesethings happen, it was as thoughher wrist “popped”. Sounds like avery painful situation, but Ash justgrinned about it and said shewould be wearing the wrist bracefor a while. Ash also enjoys music. A shower for Jamy Williams and

baby Mavrick was given by theladies of the Methodist church inWasta. Mavis Jeppesen and herdaughter, Skyla, put on a very niceparty Saturday at 11:00. Friendsand family were there to share inthe good array of salads, sillygames and conversation. It was es-pecially nice to meet Jamy’smother and sisters. Of course thespot light was on Mavrick! He pa-tiently tolerated the passingaround, slept through most of it,woke up briefly to eat and lookaround. A very sweet baby boy. Anna Lee Humphrey had a visitfrom daughter Peggy from Gillette,Wyo., and she and Carl joinedAnna Lee for Saturday dinner.Anna Lee maintains her great at-titude and continues to do all shecan for herself. The Elm Springs communitywill be having their fall festivalFriday, October 26 at the ElmSprings Hall. Hope to see you at the ElmSprings Community Hall, Fridayevening for good food and good fun.

By Pastor Cornelius R. StamThe one hundred twenty disciples in the Upper

Room had, of course, been much like any othergroup of believers in history. They had not all beenequally spiritual or devoted, or faithful. Some hadbeen more so than others, and where some had ex-celled in one virtue, others had excelled in another.Yet now they were all FILLED with the Spirit, fromthe least to the greatest of them.

The thoughtful student of Scripture will, of course,ask why all these believers were now filled with theHoly Spirit. Was it, perhaps, because they, as agroup, had been more godly than those beforethem? The gospel records prove that this is not so.Peter boasted, Thomas doubted, James and Johnsought personal gain, and when our Lord was takenprisoner, “they all forsook Him and fled.”

Was it then because they had prayed long enoughor earnestly enough for the Spirit to come upon themand take control? No; they had been instructed to goto Jerusalem, not to pray for the Holy Spirit to come,as some suppose, but to “wait for the [fulfillment ofthe] promise” regarding the Spirit (Acts 1: 4,5) — andright here is the answer to our question.

The believers at Pentecost were filled with theHoly Spirit, not because they had prayed long orearnestly enough for the Spirit to come, but becausethe time had arrived for the fulfillment of the divinepromise. The Old Testament prophets and the LordJesus had promised that the Holy Spirit should someday come to take control of God’s people (Ezek.36:26,27), and that day had come. They were filledwith the Spirit because God, according to His prom-ise, had baptized them with the Spirit (Acts 1:5).

Senator George S. McGovern_______________________and could retrieve names and de-tails from memory with ease. In 1956, George won a seat inthe US House of Representatives. There he served two terms, losta run for the US Senate in 1960,but won a Senate seat in 1962after having served as the first Ex-ecutive Director of President JohnF. Kennedy's new Food For Peaceprogram, a formative experiencewhich allowed George peaceablyshift government power and Amer-ican food resources towards hun-gry people. After a run for the DemocraticParty presidential nomination in1968 to help hold together the-as-sassinated Sen. Robert Kennedy'sdelegates, George worked to re-form party rules so the nominatingprocedure would be more trans-parent and accessible. And during a drawn-out pri-mary campaign, George won theDemocratic Party's nomination forPresidential in 1972, a race he ledwith unprecedented grassrootssupport under the banner "ComeHome, America", for peace in Viet-nam and reconciliation at home. It was a race he did not winagainst President Richard Nixon,but the campaign's integrity re-stored hope to a dispirited publicand established a principled modelfor national campaigns to come,validated by the resignation of ascandal-ridden President Nixontwo years later. George served three terms in theSenate, until January, 1981, wherehe contributed substantially to aseries of comprehensive farm billsand chaired the new US SenateSpecial Committee on Nutritionand Human Needs. After his Senate career, Georgeworked on Middle East peace, andfurther focused on child nutritionthrough two appointed positions:US Ambassador to the UN Agen-cies for Food and Agriculture, and,separately, as UN Global Ambas-sador to the World Food Program. He also co-founded a world-wideschool lunch program with long-time friend Bob Dole, the formerGOP Senator from Kansas.

For these decades of work en-riching the lives of countless fami-lies and children around the globe,George was awarded the Presiden-tial Medal of Freedom, our coun-try's highest civilian distinction,by President Bill Clinton, in 2001. In more recent years, Georgestayed intricately connected toSouth, national and internationalissues. He lectured about policyand politics on campuses here andabroad. He would work, as was hithis habit, on just a few hours ofsleep, and frequently asked arriv-ing visitors for their input on afresh draft of an op-ed or magazinepiece he had been crafting on a yel-low pad. He even finished last year, atage 89, the 14th book he had writ-ten, co-authored or edited, “WhatIt Means To Be A Democrat, andconducted book signings in severalstates also for a recent biographyof President Abraham Lincoln. No portrait of George would becomplete without rememberingthe succession of outrageously af-fectionate and outsized Newfound-land dogs George and Eleanor nur-tured and cherished. He loved going for a walk acrossthe DWU campus, or on a drive toLake Mitchell, or to a night at themovies. He enjoyed dinners atChef Louie's and kept everyoneamused and amazed with storiesand anecdotes from his youth, thecampaign trail, or the Senate floor. And he kept his childhood andlife-long faith with his beloved St.Louis Cardinals, expressing nosurprise at their last-minute qual-ification for this year's playoffs,just as they had done last year ontheir way to a World Series cham-pionship run that George had fol-lowed with inning-by-inning de-light. More than anything, Georgeadored Eleanor, their grown chil-dren, and 10 grandchildren andeight great-grandchildren, was en-gaged in their interests, schoolingand careers, and generouslyhelped with advice, encourage-ment and support. George McGovern lived an ex-

ceptional public and private life ofmore than 90 years with an un-common energy, adherence toideals, thirst for knowledge and aconsuming dedication to others. George rarely raised his voice inanger, but always raised the levelof discourse and achievementaround him. He didn't live for confrontation,but risked his life in the greateststruggle of the century to defeatevil on a grand scale, yet neverbragged about his personal war-time achievements. Instead, he used that experienceinstead as a working, life-longfoundation for a more peaceful,constructive, and forgiving world. We who knew and loved him willremember his singular dedicationto a life that made a difference. We resolve to honor George'sspirit by emulating his example. Public viewing will be held from1:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Thursday,October 25, 2012, at First UnitedMethodist Church, 401 S. SpringAvenue, Sioux Falls, SD, with thefamily present to greet friendsfrom 5:00 to 6:00 p.m. A 6:30 p.m.Prayer Service will follow the visi-tation at the church. Funeral Services will begin at1:00 p.m., Friday, October 26th, atthe Mary Sommervold Hall at theWashington Pavilion of Arts andScience, 301 S. Main Avenue,Sioux Falls, SD. Private burial will take place atRock Creek Cemetery, Washing-ton, DC, at a later date. Miller Funeral Home, SiouxFalls, SD, is in charge of funeralarrangements.

George Stanley McGovern, hus-band and father, teacher andpolitician, proud South Dakota De-mocrat, author and advocate forthe poor, lived a life of servicethrough decades of American his-tory he also strongly influenced. Born in Avon, South Dakota onJuly 19, 1922 to the Rev. Josephand Frances McLean McGovern,George left Dakota Wesleyan Uni-versity DWU), in Mitchell, wherehe excelled in debate, to join theArmy-Air Force in 1943. That same year, on HalloweenDay, he married Eleanor Stege-berg, a fellow DWU student whohad grown up on a Woonsocketfarm and got to know George afterhaving beaten him in a student de-bate competition. They wouldeventually have five children, Ann,Susan, Teresa, Steven and Mary,and a 63-year marriage. A B-24 pilot at the age of just 22and assigned to a bomber group inItaly, George flew 35 combat mis-sions across Europe, safely-landedhis damaged plane on several oc-casions and was discharged at thewar's end as a First Lieutenanthaving won the Distinguished Fly-ing Cross with three Oak Clusters. After the war, he and Eleanorreturned to DWU, and followinghis graduation, joined its facultyas a professor of history and polit-ical science. He later completed a Ph.D. inHistory at Northwestern Univer-sity, and studies at nearby GarrettTheological Seminary. But livingthrough the war pushed George to-wards public service, so he begantraveling town-to-town and farm-to-farm rebuilding the SouthDakota Democratic Party andcompetitive two-party system inthe state. No one worked harder or withgreater organization on the cam-paign trail; George would walkboth sides of the entire length of amain street, shake the hand andlisten to every person on the side-walk or in the coffee shops. In anera before hand-held electronic de-vices, George had accumulated anarchive of 40,000 voter 3x5 cards

Russell Means__________________

Russell Means never shunnedattention. Whether leading NativeAmericans in railing against bro-ken federal treaties, appearing ina Hollywood blockbuster or advo-cating a sovereign American In-dian nation within U.S. borders,the activist who helped lead the1973 uprising at Wounded Kneereveled in the spotlight. But it was only on his terms.Openly critical of mainstreammedia, the onetime leader of theAmerican Indian Movement oftenrefused interviews and verballyblasted journalists who showed upto cover his public appearances.Instead, he chose to speak to hisfan base through YouTube videosand blog posts on his personalwebsite. When he did speak out publicly,he remained steadfast in his de-fense of AIM. He found himselfdogged for decades by questionsabout the group's alleged involve-ment in the slaying of a tribe mem-ber and the several gun battleswith federal officers during the 71-day occupation of Wounded Knee,bu t denied the group ever pro-moted violence. "You people who want to con-tinue to put AIM in this certainpocket of illegality, I can't standyou people," Means said, lashingout an at audience member ques-tion during an April gatheringcommemorating the uprising's40th anniversary. "I wish I was alittle bit healthier and a little bityounger, because I wouldn't justtalk." Means, who announced in Au-gust 2011 that he had developedinoperable throat cancer but toldThe Associated Press he was forgo-ing mainstream medical treat-ments in favor of traditional Amer-ican Indian remedies, died earlyMonday at his ranch in in Porcu-pine, S.D., Oglala Sioux Tribespokeswoman Donna Salomonsaid. He was 72. Born in Wanblee on the PineRidge Indian Reservation, Meansgrew up in the San Francisco areabefore becoming an early leader ofAIM. He often was embroiled incontroversy, partly because ofAIM's alleged involvement in the1975 slaying of Annie Mae Aquash. But Means also was known forhis role in the movie "The Last ofthe Mohicans" and had run unsuc-cessfully for the Libertarian nomi-nation for president in 1988. AIM was founded in the late1960s to protest the U.S. govern-ment's treatment of Native Ameri-cans and demand the governmenthonor its treaties with Indiantribes. Means told the AP in 2011that before AIM, there had been noadvocate on a national or interna-tional scale for American Indians,and that Native Americans wereashamed of their heritage. "No one except Hollywood starsand very rich Texans wore Indianjewelry," Means said. "And therewas a plethora of dozens if nothundreds of athletic teams that inessence were insulting us, fromgrade schools to college. That's allchanged." The movement eventually fadedaway, the result of Native Ameri-cans becoming self-aware and self-determined, Means said. Paul DeMain, publisher of In-dian Country Today, said therewere plenty of Indian activists be-fore AIM bu t that the group be-came the "radical media gorilla." "If someone needed help, youcalled on the American IndianMovement and they showed upand caused all kind of ruckus andlooked beautiful on a 20-minuteclip on TV that night," DeMainsaid. Means and AIM co-founder Den-nis Banks were charged in 1974for their role in the Wounded Kneeuprising, but after a trial thatlasted several months, a judgethrew the charges out on groundsof government misconduct. Means said he felt his most im-portant accomplishment was thefounding of the Republic of Lako-tah and the "re-establishment ofour freedom to be responsible" as asovereign nation inside the bor-ders of the United States. His ef-forts to have his proposed country

recognized by the internationalcommunity continued at theUnited Nations, he said, even as itwas ignored by tribal governmentscloser to home, including his ownOglala Sioux Tribe. But others may remember himfor his former organization's connection to Aquash's slaying. Herdeath remains synonymous withAIM and its often-violent clasheswith federal agents in the 1970s. Authorities believe three AIMmembers shot and killed Aquashon the Pine Ridge reservation onthe orders of someone in AIM'sleadership because they suspectedshe was an FBI informant. Two ac-tivists - Arlo Looking Cloud andJohn Graham - were both eventu-ally convicted of murder. The thirdhas never been charged. Means blamed Vernon Belle-court, another AIM leader, for or-dering Aquash's killing. Bellecourtdenied the allegations in a 2004 in-terview, four years before he died. DeMain, an Indian journalistwho researched the case, saidAIM's leaders know who orderedAquash's killing but have coveredup the truth for decades. Also in 1975, murder chargeswere filed against Means and DickMarshall, an AIM member, in theshooting death of Martin Mon-tileaux of Kyle at the LongbranchSaloon in Scenic. Marshall served24 years in pris on. Means was ac-quitted. In addition to his presidentialbid, Means also briefly served as avice presidential candidate in1984, joining the Larry Flyntticket during the Hustler maga-zine publisher's unsuccessful bidfor the Republican nomination. But Means always consideredhimself a Libertarian and couldn'tbelieve that anyone would want tocall themselves either a Republi-can or a Democrat. "It's just unconscionable thatAmerica has become so stupid," hesaid. His acting career began in 1992when he portrayed Chingachgookalongside Daniel Day-Lewis'Hawkeye in "The Last of the Mo-hicans." He also appeared in the1994 film "Natural Born Killers,"voiced Chief Powhatan in the 1995animated film "Pocahontas" andguest starred in 2004 on the HBOseries "Curb Your Enthusiasm." Means recounted his life in thebook "Where White Men Fear toTread." He said he pulled nopunches in his autobiography, ad-mitting to his frailties and evilsbut also acknowle dging his suc-cesses. "I tell the truth, and I exposemyself as a weak, misguided, mis-directed, dysfunctional humanbeing I used to be," he said. Salomon, the tribal spokes-woman, called Means' death a"great loss" for the Oglala SiouxTribe. Means' death came a day afterformer U.S. Sen. George McGov-ern died in Sioux Falls at the ageof 90. McGovern had traveled toWounded Knee with U.S. Sen.James Abourezk during the 71-daytakeover to try to negotiate an end. "I've lost two good friends in amatter of two to three days,"Abourezk said Monday morning. "Idon't pretend to understand it." Wake services for Means arescheduled for Wednesday, October24, 2012 at the Little WoundSchool in Kyle, on the Pine Ridgereservation. His ashes will be scat-tered in the Black Hills of SouthDakota on Thursday.

By Coach Kent Anderson The Wall Eagles Football Teamended their regular season in greatfashion as they defeated theLyman Raiders 42 to 14. With thewin the Eagles finished the regu-lar season with a 5 – 3 record anda three way tie for second place inthe conference race. Also with thewin the Eagles secured secondplace in the region and will hostthe first round game on Tuesday,October 23rd against the New Un-derwood Tigers. Game time is setfor 7:00. The Eagles came out and tookcontrol of the game early. The Ea-gles defense dominated theRaiders in the first series andforced them to punt. This wouldset the tone for the game as the de-fense controlled them all night.They had one breakdown in thesecond quarter and gave up a longtouchdown run. That would bepretty much the only negativefrom the varsity defense. The offense also controlled thegame with a punishing runscheme. We ran our power playmany times and were very success-ful with it all night. The Eaglestook a 7 to 0 lead in the first quar-ter and quickly turned it in to a po-tential runaway in the secondquarter scoring three more times.Lane Blasius would call his ownnumber on a sneak and score thefirst touchdown of the night. Aftermore dominant defense in the sec-ond quarter, the Eagles offensewould also spark as Carson John-ston would score from six yardsout and Tyler Trask would ramblein for two scores of nine and 30yards. Anderson would add thepoint after kick on each of the fourfirst half touchdowns. The third quarter started with abang as Trask took the first play ofthe half the distance. Trask cutback against the grain and ran 35yards for the score. Once again An-derson was successful on the kickand the Eagles put the game away. The Eagles defense stayedstingy and continued not to budge.The Eagles were once again quickto answer as Carson Johnston cuthis way in for his second touch-down of the game from eight yardsout. With the Anderson kick good,the Eagles had a dominant 42 to 6lead midway through the thirdquarter. With the play clock run-ning for the remainder of thegame, the Eagles were able to playmany players in the remainder ofthe game. The Eagles did allow alate score by Lyman but did playpretty well until the final hornblew. It was a great win and a superway to end the regular season.Stats 1st 2nd 3rd 4th FinalWall: 7 21 14 0 42Lyman: 0 6 0 8 14Team Stats •First Downs: Wall - 13, Lyman

Leah Bifulco from Casey Peterson & As-sociates presented the 2011 City of Wallaudit. Leah commented one of thebiggest problems is; purchase orders arenot completed before purchases aremade.

Motion byDunker, second by Leonard that the 2011audit has been accepted and approved.Motion carried.

Motion by S Anderson, second by Mor-gan to let Wounded Knee Museumowner, Steve Wyant, proceed with thestabilization of his roof following the fire inhis business; however, with the stipulationproper paperwork is turned into FO An-derson. Wyant explained the entire build-ing has been gutted and his next step isto stabilize the roof. He is hoping forquick action and to complete the shellsoon. He has always wanted to expandthe building so no interior work will bedone until he has decided whether to ex-pand or keep the same building design.

At this time building permits were re-viewed: Lucille Randolph – build newsteps on south door at 203 CreightonRoad; Bart & Tommi Cheney – move instorage sheds at 508 Spur Drive; BobHamann – replace roof material w/steel at303 Creighton Road; Vickie Willuwiet –reside mobile home w/steel siding at 428Fifth Avenue.

Fred Folsom from Waste Connectionswas on hand to answer any questions thecity may have if they move forward withan ordinance to require commercial busi-nesses contracting for garbage service.Presently Waste Connections does notcontract with any other communities thatmandate garbage service for businesses.The policing aspect of enforcing this ordi-nance would be the difficult part of theprocess, but one option would be lockingdumpsters. Motion by Dunker, second byM Anderson to appoint S Anderson, Hus-tead, Morgan to a committee to reviewthis issue and report back at the nextcouncil meeting. Motion carried.

Folsom also requested that residentshave no alley garbage service from No-vember 1st to May 15th. Motion by Mor-gan, second by S Anderson to approveno residential alley garbage service fromNovember 1st to May 15th; therefore, allgarbage will be picked up on the street.Motion carried.

The Ambulance district has decided to getinsurance coverage with EMS Pakthrough Fischer Rounds. FO Andersonalso received a quote for the fire depart-ment, as the ambulance quote was muchlower than with the previous provider.The fire department quote came in ap-proximately $2,000 cheaper with extracoverage. Motion by S Anderson, secondby Morgan to go with the EMS Pak insur-ance through Fischer Rounds for the firedepartment. Motion carried.

Public Works Items: The motor in thepump at Well 7 has gone down andneeds repair; public works will check tosee if the cause could be “dirty power”; ei-ther too high or too low of voltage. Thiscould cause the motor to burn out.

Motion by S Anderson, second by Dunkerto approve renewal of a 3-year agree-ment with DOT; for the City to performsnowplow removal activities on thefrontage road. Motion carried.

A quote was received for $399 to do aninspection on the backhoe, not includingan oil change to determine needed re-pairs. Expenses for any needed repairswere not included in the budget forCY2013. The backhoe is currently usedvery little: occasional water repairs, etc.The consensus was to keep it in inven-tory; use only if necessary and look at itnext spring for budget purposes.

Issues with no signs or restrictions onKelly Avenue were addressed. There wasconcern that the city doesn’t own theproperty that the signs would be control-ling. Possible signage would be “privateroad and no thru traffic” on city propertyat both ends of Gloria Street. A “DeadEnd” sign could be placed at the Kelly Aveentrance off of Stone Drive. Motion byDunker, second by Hustead that Dunkerand S Anderson meet with landowner andinstall signs if he agrees. Motion carried.

One landowner has concern with signingthe construction and sewer easementsneeded to proceed with the sewer project.The original landowner did not sign sewereasements when the sewer main wasoriginally constructed. The landownerhas someone interested in purchasingland to build a shop but with an easementand sewer line that wouldn’t be possible.The landowner would like the city to pur-chase the property. Other landownerswill need to approve easements beforeany kind of transaction can be made.

Dunker and M Anderson met with parkscommittee, with a list of items needing tobe accomplished at the park. Most aregeneral maintenance items and can becompleted by the public works depart-ment. The list included staining the play-ground equipment, repairing parkbenches, painting the bathrooms, repair-ing the sprinkler system and the reinstal-lation of the volleyball court.

The renter of the Wall Discount Outlet hasrequested to install a fence on the back-side of the property and has completedthe building permit application. PublicWorks Director Clark was unable to reachthe property owner, Tim Eisenbraun, tosee if he approved of the fence. Therewas concern that property lines may notbe accurate and are infringed upon byneighboring property owners. FO Ander-son will talk with DC Scott, the surveyor,to resolve this issue of property linesbeing incorrect. The building permit willbe addressed at the next council meeting.

The next City Council meeting will be No-vember 8th at 6:30pm.

Meeting was adjourned at 8:27pm.
