Three talented ladies in the
Philip community, each with confi-
dent and strong singing voices,
team together to perform the coun-
try musical Honky Tonk Angels.
Maureen Palecek, Barb Bowen
and Deb Smith play characters
who are as different from each
other as can be, except they all
have had county backgrounds and
lifelong dreams of actually using
their singing talents. The musical
is very heavy in the singing de-
partment. While the well-known
songs solos, duets and group ren-
ditions come almost nonstop,
there is a basic plot and difference
between the characters.
Bowen begins the play as a nar-
rator speaking directly to the au-
dience. Her character is a stuck-in-
a-rut wife and mother of six who
live in a double-wide mobile home.
She goes from Stand by Your
Man to Dont Come Home
Drinkin with a comic ease. She
will leave behind family to find her
dream.
Paleceks character is a disgrun-
tled and highly put-upon secretary
whose love life has failed at least
twice. Her first solo, almost obvi-
ously, is 9 to 5. A bit later, her
character rips loose and into the
male audience members with
These Boots Are Made for Walk-
ing. She has nothing to leave be-
hind but an autographed bowling
ball from her first husband, a shot-
gun from her second husband and
a too interested boss.
Smith is a country gal who has
been taking care of her father
since her mothers death, though
her sibling could help. Portraying
the epitome of Coal Miners
Daughter, she refuses to throw
away her dreams. She makes up
her mind to head for Nashville, or
Las Vegas, or wherever, but she
leaves to I Will Always Love You.
This is the vocal transition to the
three women heading to the big
city. So with bus tickets in our
hands, and our hearts in our
throats, we were on our way to
Music City USA, said Bowen.
Meeting on the bus and riding
through a thunderstorm, the gals
encourage each other. Bowen
shares her ever-present pork rinds
and baloney sandwiches. They
eventually work themselves into a
frenzy and hold a hootenanny on
the bus. Three strange women all
traveling to a strange place. Its no
coincidence. Its meant to be. And
the three become a group, The
Honky Tonk Angels.
Philip Theater Group to perform country
musical Honky Tonk Angels
Within weeks, they make it big.
But, the musical selections have
switched from songs such as
Amazing Grace to Night Life,
Harper Valley PTA, Fancy and
Barroom Habits. There is a con-
troversy among the groups mem-
bers over the song selections,
which are about not very re-
spectable women. Could this con-
troversy break up the group?
Could this be their last perform-
ance? Will the circle be unbroken?
All the instrumental music is
live with no recordings or tapes.
Band members include Glenn Par-
sons, Chuck Carstensen, Mike
Seagar, Marilyn Millage and Crys-
tal Martinez. The plays country
band is in the background as in-
strumental back-up during the
first scene. They still play during
the second scene, though from be-
hind the curtain, while the singing
action is in front of the curtain and
even sometimes into and involving
the audience. In the second act,
the band and back-up singers are
prominent performers in the
Honky Tonk Heaven bar and
showroom in Nashville. The musi-
cal play is co-directed by Marcy
Ramsey, Diane Walker and Nancy
Ekstrum.
Performances will be 7:00 p.m.,
Friday and Saturday, June 8 and
9, and at 2:00 p.m., Sunday, June
10, in the Fine Arts Building at the
Philip High School.
Three characters each leave their wildly different lives to strike
out as country performers. They meet, join, and within months
become the Nashville sensation Honky Tonk Angels. But, will
this be their last show? From left: actress/singers Maureen Pale-
cek, Barb Bowen and Deb Smith. ~Photos by Del Bartels
Other performers for the musical Honky Tonk Angels include,

guitar and fill-in singer, Mike Seagar bass electric guitar, Mar-
ilyn Millage piano, and Chuck Carstensen lead six-string gui-
tar.

First Wall Ambulance was a
1969 Pontiac Station wagon
by Laurie Hindman
The Wall School Board met
Thursday, May 31 for a special
meeting in the school library at
7:30 a.m.
President Scot Eisenbraun called
the meeting to order. Roll call was
answered Yes by Eisenbraun,
by Laurie Hindman
Members of the Wall Ambulance
in May of 1969 had recently passed
the advanced Red Cross course. Pa-
trolmen Ken Wernke and Harold
Hoffman, Norman Klingbile, Al
Drewitz, DeWayne Glassgow Jr.,
Doug Culhane, Deane Joyce, Lee
Vanderbush and Gary Stone.
The Wall ambulance which was
a 1969 Pontiac station wagon was
fully equipped and had already
made a number of runs to Rapid
City, Philip and Kadoka.
The new ambulance carried two
of the latest type of fold-in cots. An
attendants seat is used when only
a single cot is used and can be
folded into the floor when both cots
are in use. The unused cot fits
under the one in use.
The ambulance has a two-way
radio and two sets of oxygen tank
equipment.
A schedule of fees has yet to be
established although a percentage
reduction will be allowed to those
families who have or are contribut-
ing to the cost of the ambulance
service.
This article was taken from the
May 22, 1969 Pennington County
Courant edition.
In the past when Highway Pa-
trolman Ken Wernke would re-
spond to a road accident, he would
have to load the patient in the back
of his patrol car and drive the in-
jured to the hospital himself or
Walsh Funeral Home who owned a
station wagon would transport the
patient. Wernke knew that an am-
bulance would be able to provide
better care for an injured patient
then he or the funeral home could.
Finances were the main obstacle
of why Wall didnt have an ambu-
lance. Norm Klingbile who was the
Wall City Sheriff for 26 years said,
by the good graces of townships
and the City of Wall a 1969 Pontiac
Station wagon was purchased.
Klingbile went on to say they had
to salvage items to outfit the am-
bulance but it had a gurney and
oxygen and they would no longer
have to wait for an ambulance to
come out of Rapid City if someone
was critically injured.
Klingbile noted the ambulance
was served by all volunteers and
when Dave Hahn moved to town in
1971, he taught First Aid training.
Hahn said volunteers had 15 - 20
hours for First Responder training
and an EMT course was 80 - 90
hours. The optimum requirement
for EMTs today is 190 hours.
While the training today is better
for patients, Hahn said It is mak-
ing it impossible for volunteers to
commit to such a training.
In 1971, a new Pontiac
Station wagon was purchased.
Hahn said, it was outfitted much
like the older one but there was
still not enough room to perform
CPR. All they basically could do
was transport, apply oxygen and
stop the bleeding. When a run was
made to Rapid City, Hahn said
they would drive between 80 - 90
mph and the ambulance had a low
band police frequency radio. If the
roads were drifted in the ambu-
lance would follow a snow plow,
much as they do today.
In 1975, the first real ambulance
was purchased. It was a Ford vehi-
cle which had room for EMTs to
stand-up in, room for a heart mon-
itor and extraction equipment.
They were now able to provide bet-
ter care for patients especially
heart care patients. A Stair Chair
Cot was purchased so patients
wouldnt have to be taken down a
flight of stairs in a regular chair.
Hahn noted that in the mid
1980s the ambulance would make
100 runs a year and they didnt
have nearly the false runs as they
do today. Hahn attributed the high
rate of false runs today to cell
phones.
The Wall Ambulance still covers
the same area and Hahn said, the
level of care for broken bones is the
same but heart patients have a
better chance in the new ambu-
lance.
The Wall Ambulance is facing a
challenge that may see its services
come to an end and the possibility
of having to use a patrol car to
transport injured.
Wall School Board holds special meeting
Pam Johnson, Carolynn Anderson,
Mary Williams, Kevin Bielmaier
and Todd Trask. Spencer Cordes
was absent for the meeting.
Agenda for the meeting was ap-
proved.
Eisenbraun asked for a motion
to approve a check to Kris Kitter-
man for an initial payment of the
Power House project. A motion was
made and approved to pay Kitter-
man $6,693.00 which is 30 percent
of his quote.
With no other business the
meeting was adjourned.
Badlands National Park
begins summer season
Sunday, May 27th marked the
beginning of summer ranger pro-
grams at Badlands National Park.
Visit the park this summer and
learn about fossils, geology, ecology
and local history. Check out
http://www.nps.gov/badl for more
information. Ben Reifel Visitor
Center is open from 7:00 - 7:00 for
the summer. White River Visitor
Center, located in the park's South
Unit is open from 8:00 - 5:00 daily.
Special Night Sky programs are
offered throughout the summer,
Friday-Monday each week, and
begin immediately after the
Evening Program. Evening Pro-
grams begin nightly at dusk.
Meet at the amphitheater, lo-
cated next to the Cedar Pass
Campground a quarter mile from
the Ben Reifel Visitor Center. Join
the ranger for a Star Tour, and stay
for opportunities to view celestial
objects through several profes-
sional telescopes.
June 4, 2012 marks the grand
opening of the Saber Site and fossil
prep lab at Badlands National
Park.
The fossil quarry, located just
outside the Ben Reifel Visitor Cen-
ter, will be staffed by paleontolo-
gists and park rangers through the
summer.
The fossil prep lab will be in the
visitor center classroom. Stop by
between 9:00 4:30 daily to ob-
serve science in action and learn
more about the discoveries being
made.
The Saber Site contributes
greatly to understanding the fossil
record at Badlands National Park.
On May 30, 2010, seven year old
Kylie Ferguson discovered a fossil
in this same spot while participat-
ing in a Junior Ranger program.
She did the right thing she re-
ported her find, allowing paleon-
tologists to identify the fossil as
the skull of an extinct saber tooth
cat, Hoplophoneus.
While all fossil finds are scientif-
ically important, this one was even
more so because of the condition of
the skull, and the fact that it con-
tained bite marks. CT scans have
been done of the skull in a partner-
ship between Rapid City Regional
Hospital, South Dakota School of
Mines & Technology and Badlands
National Park in a quest to deter-
mine the fate of this animal.
The public is welcome to observe
and interact with paleontologists
and park rangers at the site and
the lab, and perhaps even be pres-
ent as more fossils are uncovered.
Visit the White River Visitor
Center, found along SD Highway
27, 20 miles south of Scenic, SD to
discover more about the park's cul-
tural stories. Attend a walk or sto-
rytelling program throughout the
summer.
Coming events:
The fourth Badlands Heritage
Celebration will take place July
20-22. Activities will take place in
both the North and South Units of
the park.
The first Badlands' Astronomy
Festival will take place August 17-
19. Many special guests, activities
and presentations will be an-
nounced closer to that date.
Badlands is known for its
rugged beauty and striking geo-
logic deposits containing one of the
world's richest fossil records. The
rich cultural history of the Oglala
Lakota people and local home-
steaders is also integral to the
park story. Visitors are encouraged
to bring water, a jacket, sunscreen
and insect repellent for all park
programs. Regular park entrance
fees apply.

Question:
Do members of Congress have to
pay into Social Security?
Answer:
Yes, they do. Members of Con-
gress, the President and Vice Pres-
ident, federal judges, and most po-
litical appointees, have paid taxes
into the Social Security program
since January 1984. They pay into
the system just like everyone else,
no matter how long they have been
in office. Learn more about Social
Security benefits at www.socialse-
curity.gov.
Question:
I currently receive Social Secu-
rity disability benefits. I now have
a second serious disability. Can my
monthly benefit amount be in-
creased?
Answer:
No. Although your Social Secu-
rity disability benefit eligibility is
based on having a severe disabil-
ity, the benefit amount is based on
the amount of your lifetime earn-
ings before your disability began
and not the number, degree, or
severity of your disability. For
more information, go to www.so-
cialsecurity. gov/ dibplan/ dap-
proval2.htm.
Question:
Is there a time limit on how long
I can collect Social Security dis-
ability benefits?
Answer:
Your disability benefits will con-
tinue as long as your medical con-
dition has not improved and you
remain unable to work. Your case
will be reviewed at regular inter-
vals to make sure you still are dis-
abled. If you still are receiving dis-
ability benefits when you reach
full retirement age, we will auto-
matically convert them to retire-
ment benefits. See www.socialse-
curity.gov/pubs/10153.html#6 for
more information on disability.
Question:
Does Social Security pay bene-
fits to prisoners?
Answer:
We pay benefits under both the
Social Security and Supplemental
Security Income (SSI) programs.
Both of these programs prohibit
payments to most prisoners. Social
Security benefits are suspended if
an otherwise eligible person is con-
fined in a jail, prison, or other
penal institution for more than 30
continuous days due to conviction
of a crime.
We cannot pay benefits to some-
one who, by court order, is confined
in an institution at public expense
in connection with a criminal case
if the court finds that the person
is: guilty, but insane; not guilty of
such an offense by reason of insan-
ity or similar factors (such as a
mental disease); or incompetent to
stand trial for such an alleged of-
fense.
Also, we cannot pay benefits to
someone who, immediately upon
completion of a prison sentence for
conviction of a criminal offense (an
element of which is sexual activ-
ity), is confined by court order in
an institution at public expense.
The confinement must be based on
a court finding that the individual
is a sexually dangerous person or
sexual predator (or a similar find-
ing.) However, if a person is
not confined in prison or other sim-
ilar place, benefits may be paid to
an eligible individual.
Question:
What are the limits on what I
can own to be eligible for Supple-
mental Security Income (SSI)?
Answer:
Social Security counts real es-
tate, bank accounts, cash, stocks,
and bonds toward the limits on
what you can own. You may be
able to get SSI if your resources
are worth no more than $2,000. A
couple may be able to get SSI if
they have resources worth no more
than $3,000. If you own property
you are trying to sell, you may be
able to get SSI while trying to sell
it. Social Security does not count
everything you own in deciding
whether you have too many re-
sources to qualify for SSI. For ex-
ample, we generally do not count:
the home you live in and the land
it is on; life insurance policies with
a face value of $1,500 or less; your
car; burial plots for you and imme-
diate family; and up to $1,500 in
burial funds for you and up to
$1,500 in burial funds for your
spouse. Learn more about SSI at
www.socialsecurity.gov/ssi.

Coleen Keffeler is one of three
employees selected as Meade
School District Teachers of the
Year for 2012. She was chosen for
this honor because she is excep-
tionally skilled and dedicated,
poised and articulate, and has the
respect and admiration of stu-
dents, parents and co-workers. She
also has a superior ability to in-
spire learning in students of all
abilities and backgrounds. A selec-
tion committee consisting of dis-
trict administrators, teachers and
other staff picked the three from
among nominations submitted by
school employees and school dis-
trict patrons.
Coleen teaches at Sturgis Brown
High School and has been em-
ployed by Meade School District
for 22 of the 27 years she has been
in education. She is currently the
culinary arts instructor, youth in-
ternship coordinator, Perkins
grant coordinator, Writing to Win
co-coordinator, and Scooper time
coordinator, to list a few of her re-
sponsibilities.
The glue of Sturgis Brown High
School is how many refer to
Coleen. Coleen is our leader in the
Association of Career and Techni-
cal Education, said a co-worker.
She has placed the high school on
the map in that area. It is our
school that others come to visit to
learn more about CTE programs.
Coleen keeps the staff informed
about legislative progress, writes
letters on our behalf and helps
those around her to be active.
Through her work with ACTE she
has become respected and well-
known in Washington, D.C, and is
a voice for education and South
Dakota in Washington. Coleen has
also taken an integral role in or-
ganizing Dakota STEP committees
in our school, continued this co-
worker. Coleen works as unofficial
chairman of this, helping our vari-
ous committees work together.
Coleens nominators commend
her for the way she mentors other
teachers. She is also a great
sounding board for the staff at the
school, said a nominator, who
added that she is known to make
amazing cinnamon rolls for early
morning meetings.
According to another nominator,
Coleen is constantly reminding the
staff that they are in education for
the students first and foremost.
Every fiber of Coleens body is
dedicated to our youth, said this
nominator. Developing programs,
creating opportunities for individ-
ual growth and encouraging stu-

Keffler choosen as Meade School District Teachers of the Year for 2012
dents to strive for betterment of
self are but a fraction of what
Coleen does.
Students know she has high ex-
pectations of them. They also know
that she is a wise and hard work-
ing person who uses her talents to
help them and allow them to
shine.
Offered a student, I have had
Mrs. Keffeler for a teacher in three
different classes and she is defi-
nitely one of the best teachers at
Sturgis Brown High School. She
never leaves students without an-
swers if they ask for help. She will
put off what she is doing to help
us. She is hard working and
strives to find the best opportuni-
ties for her students. Through her
dedication to make the school a

Wall Golf Course to sponsor
Golf For Guardianship
The Guardianship Program is
busy selling cards for its annual
fundraiser, Golf For Guardian-
ship. Golf for Guardianship is
selling a golf card listing 88 golf
courses across the state. For
$30.00 a nine-hold round or 50 per-
cent of an 18 hole round can be
played at each course using the
Golf For Guardianship golf card.
Courses listed in the area are: Wall
Golf Course.
In 2011, over $10,000 was raised
to provide guardianship services to
adults in South Dakota with dis-
abilities. The Guardianship Pro-
gram is a private, non-profit
agency serving people with disabil-
ities with guardianship and con-
servatorship services due to the
support and participation of The
Wall Golf Course. All of the money
raised stays in South Dakota and
supports personal and financial
services for our most vulnerable
citizens.
Golf for Guardianship is spon-
sored by Wall Golf Course, who do-
nate greens fees, the members of
the National Association of Insur-
ance and Financial Advisors of SD
who volunteer to sell cards and all
of the area golfers who support
this program by buying a Golf For
Guardianship card.
The 2012 Golf for Guardian-
ship card may be purchased for
$30.00 for a single or $100.00 for a
Gold Pak ($100.00 for four cards).

The South Dakota Association of
Conservation Districts (SDACD)
supports the work of Reps. Kristi
Noem (R-SD) and Tim Walz (D-
MN) on their recent sodsaver leg-
islation to address crop insurance
inequities and preserve habitats
for game species on native sod and
on grasslands producers cannot
certify have ever been cropped.
SDACD also supports an identical
provision included in the Farm Bill
passed by the Senate Agriculture
Committee. That provision was in-
troduced by Senator John Thune
(R-SD).
Its just common sense to reduce
crop insurance assistance for less
productive land," said SDACD ex-
ecutive director Angela Ehlers.
"Decisions to bring acreage back
into production should be based on
the ability of the land to produce;
not on whether or not you can in-
sure it. By addressing crop insur-
ance fairness, the sodsaver legisla-
tion will protect fragile lands, pre-
serve habitat and ultimately save
taxpayers money."
The Protect our Prairies Act
would reduce crop insurance assis-
SDACD Supports Bipartisan
Sodsaver legislation
tance for the first four years for
crops grown on native sod and cer-
tain grasslands converted to crop-
land. The Congressional Budget
Office estimates the legislation
could save taxpayers nearly $200
million over 10 years.
According to Jack Majeres, Na-
tional Association of Conservation
Districts second vice president and
Dell Rapids farmer, this issue is of
particular importance to South
Dakota and the north central
United States, where many areas
of land border on prairie develop-
ment.
"The sodsaver legislation is a
smart approach to working lands
management where conservation
and agriculture go hand-in-hand,
"Majeres said. "As the costs of land
and commodity prices increase,
theres more pressure to put the
native grasslands into grain pro-
duction to be used for grazing and
row crops. These fragile lands need
to be protected from erosion, and
the native grasses provide that
conservation benefit along with
providing needed wildlife habitat."

Lytle and ORourke place at State Track meet
by Coach Patterson
Track conclusion! The state
track meet was held in Rapid City
on May 24th and 25th for the fi-
nale of this years track season. It
was a wet, cool weekend for the
athletes, coaches and spectators.
Sadie ORourke ran well placing
fifth in the 100 Meter Dash and
200 Meter Dash. After flying threw
the prelims and semis in the 100,
ORourke ran a 13:44 FAT time for

ternoon placing fifth with a 27.30
time. She also ran the 400 Meter
Dash at state and was close to
qualifying in that event as well.

season with an eighth placing in
the 1600 Meter Run at state. He
ran a 4:53.69 against a strong field
of runners.
The girls 4x100 Relay did a per-
sonal best for the foursome. Mon-
ica Bielmaier started the race, ex-
changing the baton to Kailey Rae
Sawvell, with Carlee Johnston
running the curve who handed it
off to the anchor runner, ORourke.
They ran a 54.08 to end their sea-

and Trask cruising to a time of

Coachs Comments: The
weather was rainy, cool, cloudy,
but the meet went on. The squad
tried hard in their events with
some injuries hampering perform-
ances. One hates to see athletes
hurt for the state meet.
The highlight of the season was
personal goals met by the athletes,
winning conference and regions for
the boys and the girls finishing
fourth in both. It was a fun year
with many memories. Until next
year, have a relaxing summer.

The South Dakota Highway Pa-
trol conducted a state-wide en-
forcement saturation on Friday,
May 25 to kick off their 100 Days
of Heat Safe Driving Campaign.
Summer is a deadly time of year
for drivers on South Dakota roads
with more than half of South
Dakotas traffic fatalities happen-
ing during the summer months.
Each year, the days with the
highest travel and car accident
numbers are the holidays Memo-
rial Day, Fourth of July, and Labor
Day.
Troopers around the state were
out in force on all Interstate and
state highways Friday, the start of
the Memorial Day weekend.
Troopers issued traffic citations
and warnings for a wide variety of
violations.
S.D. Highway Patrol conducts
statewide enforcement campaign
Statewide totals for Friday, May
25 include 278 citations and 544
warnings for speeding, 11 DUI ar-
rests and 27 drug arrests. One
hundred seat belt violations were
also addressed by Troopers.
Fortunately, during Fridays
campaign, there were no fatalities,
and only three injury and six non-
injury accidents.
Our mantra remains the same:
Use your seatbelt. Dont drink and
drive. Follow the speed limit, says
Col. Craig Price, superintendent of
the South Dakota Highway Patrol.
If you obey those rules, every-
one will have a safe and enjoyable
summer.

Greetings A thunder and
lightning storm went through the
area last night the second. The
wind was strong but there is no
water standing. What happened to
the rain fall?
Delmer and Mary Paulsen drove
to Belle Fourche for Memorial Day
weekend in the Darren and Jackie
Paulsen home. Mary spent hours
of playtime with Dreyson and also
got to attend and see grandson
Dawson win first in every event he
entered at the Hershey Track Meet
in Belle Fourche and qualify for
State.
Delmer and Mary Paulsen also
enjoyed spending time with son
Tom at Lead in National Guard
Duty for the Memorial Day week-
end. They left the 30th and re-
turned home the 1st of June.
Daughter Kristen and son-in-
law, Adam Molstad, Sylvie and
Annabel of Waterloo, IA, arrived to
the parental Richard and Nancy
Horton home the 26th of May to
help Rich and Nancy observe their
birthdays over the weekend. Their
birthdays land on the same dates.
Their daughter, Janelle Karah,
has the same date birthday also
but she didnt get to come.
Eli Helms of the Ditch Switch in
Rapid City, has graduated from
Lake Area Technical Institute in
Watertown and is working at the
Ditch Switch. Eli was a weekend
visitor in the parental Eldon and
Lillian Helms home for Memorial
Day weekend. Emily Helms is now
working NRCS for the summer
and was also home for the week-
end.
Kay Dahlquist of Sioux City, IA,
came to the parental Lillian Hor-
ton home to visit over Memorial
Day weekend.
I was sorry to hear Kathleen
Shull had a serious bout with
sinus infection and bronchitis but
happy to hear she is doing much
better. it seems to be going around.
Marla Nelson has been busy
helping at the Wall High School
Regional Rodeo the 1st, 2nd and
3rd. Anna Jaron of Rapid City,
spent some time in the parental
Dan and Marla Nelson home and
may I assume she attended some
rodeo events. Samantha has been
busy at State College in Spearfish
doing some serious research.
Blaizy has been busy entertaining
and keeping the old folks busy
until she plays out and then tells
mom Trista it is time to go home.
Blaizy had a big day.
Gwen and Michele McConnell
have been busy at the Methodist
Church planning and preparing
for Bible School to start Tuesday,
the 5th.
Paul McConnell has been busy
with branding, chores at home and
helping the neighbors.
Most ranchers are done with
cows calving and working on
branding chores.
Shaun McKay and Jayton joined
the neighbors and friends from
Sioux Falls and Pierre to help Har-
lan and Linda Eisenbraun with
their branding chores. Linda said
it was only two dinners to cook this
year. Branding is a sort of enter-
tainment at the ranches as they
bring horses to ride and get some
practice roping and wrestling to
do.
May the Countryside send best
of luck to our young cowgirls and
cowboys on their rodeo perform-
ances at the Regional Rodeos and
then those going to State and Na-
tional Rodeo. Tuffy had great en-
joyment manning the gate for the
Wilsons and rodeo stock and deep
respect for Harold Delbridge an-
nouncing and the way Mr. Del-
bridge worked with our young peo-
ple, I am sorry my plans didnt
work out to attend.
May the Countryside send Con-
gratulations to our local residents
Larry and Norie Ruland for their
50th Wedding Anniversary.
May the Countryside send our
sincerest sympathy and prayers to
the families and friends for the
loss of their loved ones Violet
Denke and Lynn Williams.
Thought: The more you take re-
sponsibility for your past and pres-
ent, the more you are able to create
the future you seek.

Romans 4:15 clearly
states that "the law wor-
keth wrath," but so many
people, it seems, do not
wish to see this. Even
some clergymen tell us
that God gave the Law to
help us to be good, when
God Himself says the very
opposite; that it was given
to show us that we
"The law worketh wrath."
Every criminal knows this
and every sinner should
know it, for the Bible has
much to say on the sub-
ject. Rom. 3:19,20 de-
clares that the Law was
given "that every mouth
may be stopped, and that
all the world may be
brought in guilty before
God," and this passage
goes on to say:
"Therefore by the
deeds of the law there
shall no flesh be justified
in His sight; for by the
law is the knowledge of
sin."
II Cor. 3:7,9 calls the
Law "the ministration of
condemnation" and "the
ministration of death." Gal.
3:10 says that those who
are "of the works of the
law," i.e., who seek to
make themselves accept-
able to God by keeping the
Law, "are under a curse,"
because the Law can only
condemn them.
Those who approach
God, expecting eternal life
in return for "good works"
are offering Him their
terms -- which He will
never accept. God will not
sell justification to those al-
ready under condemnation
for sin. But He does offer
sinners complete justifica-
tion by grace because:
"Christ hath redeemed
us from the curse of the
law, being made a curse
for us: for it is written;
cursed is every one that
hangeth on a tree" (Gal.
3:13).
Thank God, those who
trust in Christ, "having re-
demption, through His
blood, the forgiveness of
sins, according to the
riches of His grace" (Eph.
1:7), "being justified, freely
by His [God's] grace,
through the redemption
that is in Christ Jesus"
(Rom. 3:24).

Lynn Williams__________________________________
Lynn Williams, age 90 of Wall,
S.D., died Monday, May 28, 2012,
at the Rapid City Regional Hospi-
tal.
Lynn Williams was born March
24, 1922, north of Wall, the son of
Frank and Hazel (Percy) Williams
at their country home. He was
raised on the family farm 20 miles
north of Wall. He attended the
Sunnyside School through the
eighth grade and graduated from
Wall High School in May of 1940.
After graduation he moved with his
brother, Bud, to Cottonwood where
he helped operate the Dr. Cowan
ranch.
Lynn married Evelyn Knapp at
Rapid City on May 12, 1945.
He entered the U.S. Army in
May of 1945. He took his basic
training at Camp Livingston, La.
From there he went to Ft. Ord,
Calif. In December of 1945, he was
sent to Adak, Alaska, in the Aleu-
tian Islands, where he served as
mail clerk and the Company Bar-
ber in the 1583 Engineers Infantry
Division. He returned October 1,
1946, when he was honorably dis-
charged and returned home to
Wall.
He worked for his father-in-law
moving houses until September of
1947. On September 29, 1947 he
entered the Sioux City Barber Col-
lege at Sioux City, Iowa. He re-
turned to Wall in April of 1948 and
did his apprentice work under the
late Sam Johnson. He later pur-
chased the barber equipment from
Johnson and continued to run the
shop. In April of 1951, he moved
into his new shop on the west side
of Main Street.
In June of 1984, he sold the shop
building and moved to a shop on
4th Street at Anns Motel where he
continued to work part time until

Protect your pets from pests
For pet owners, warm weather
brings the opportunity to enjoy the
great outdoors with their furry
loved ones. But it also brings the
risk of flea and tick infestation.
Veterinarians across the country
are expecting an abundance of fleas
and ticks this year, due in part to
warmer winter temperatures in
some areas of the nation.
"Fleas and ticks are more than
simple nuisances for your pets,"
said Laura Petree, DVM, Manager
of Technical Services for Central
Garden and Pet Company. "They
can cause your pet discomfort, and
in the case of ticks, put your pets
and your family at risk for a variety
of diseases."
Dr. Petree says that flea eggs can
account for 50 percent of a domestic
flea infestation. One adult female
flea can lay up to 50 eggs per day.
If your pet has 10 fleas, your prob-
lem suddenly multiplies to 15,000
fleas in a month. "In order to effec-
tively protect your dog or cat from
fleas and ticks, you need to address
any initial infestation problem,"
she says.
Preventing problems
Prevention is the best course of
action. Making your yard un-
friendly to pests is a good place to
start.
Mow regularly, keep shrubs
trimmed, and rake up leaves. Keep
the garbage covered so it won't at-
tract rodents.
Outdoor sprays can be used on
lawns, flowers, trees and shrubs.
They kill and repel fleas, ticks,
mosquitoes, ants, crickets and
other insects.
Whenever you groom your dog
or cat, check for fleas and ticks.
Signs of fleas include redness and
scratching, as well as what's known
as flea dirt - black flea droppings
left on your pet's coat. Ticks are
most commonly found around the
neck, in the ears, in the folds be-
tween the legs and body, and in be-
tween the toes.
Topical treatments contain an
insect growth regulator (IGR) that
kills flea eggs and prevents re-in-
festation. They kill and repel fleas,
ticks and mosquitoes for up to 30
days. Many topical treatments are
messy to apply. Consider using the
Adams Smart Shield Applicator,
which keeps liquid off your hands
and lets you quickly get uniform
applications down to your pet's
skin.
Shampoos clean your pet by
eliminating adult fleas, ticks and
flea dirt. The active ingredients
must come in contact with the
pests for a certain period of time in
order to be effective. Results are
immediate. However, because
shampoos have no long-lasting ef-
fects, it's a good idea to follow the
shampoo with a dip or mainte-
nance product.
Mists are used to kill fleas, ticks
and mosquitos on dogs and cats in-
stantly. Flea eggs and larvae will
be prevented for one to two months.
Controlling an infestation
Sometimes, despite your best ef-
forts, your pet brings home some
unwanted pests. Here's what you
can do:
Vacuum before the first home
treatment, then daily for the next
few weeks. This will help remove
newly emerged fleas, flea dirt, eggs
and some larvae from the carpets.
Treating your home with carpet
powders, carpet sprays, room fog-
gers or home sprays will help con-
trol fleas.
Take care of your pet and your
family by having the right preven-
tion and treatment options for your
furry family member. To learn more
about protecting your pet and your
home from fleas and ticks, visit the
Flea and Tick Education page at

June 6, 1972 - On this date in
SDNG history - Annual Training -
Camp Rapid, Badlands and
Roubaix Lake areas - Prelude to
the Rapid City flood on June 9,
1972.
On June 6, 1972, there were
nearly 2,000 South Dakota Army
National Guard Soldiers at annual
training (AT) in the Camp Rapid
area. The training in 1972,
began on the weekend of June 3 for
19 of the South Dakota Army Na-
tional Guard units. These units
were in four locations. The 147th
Field Artillery's Group Headquar-
ters, 1st Battalion, and 2nd Battal-
ion, along with the 216th Ord-
nance Company and 1085th Med-
ical Detachment were located at
the Badlands Bombing Range.
This artillery range was located
approximately 50 miles southwest
of Rapid City off state Highway 40,
now renumbered Highway 44. Two
units, the 842nd Engineer Com-
pany and the 214th Engineer
Company were bivouacked near
Roubaix Lake, about 40 miles
northwest of Rapid City in the
Northern Black Hills.
Most of the units were located
on Camp Rapid. Those located at
Camp Rapid were Headquarters,
South Dakota Army National
Guard; 129th Public Affairs De-
tachment; 109th Engineer Group;
HHD 109th Engineer Battalion;
730th Medical Company; 665th
Maintenance Company; 147th
Army Band; 235th General Supply
Company; 139th Transportation
Battalion; 1742nd Transportation
Company; and the 740th Trans-
portation Company. There was a
present for duty strength of 2,004
for this annual training period,
1,907 of whom were in and around
the Camp Rapid area. The 211th
Engineer Company, with a present
for duty strength of 97, was in-
volved in bridge training at Camp
Grafton, N.D.
Prior to the change of Army
Training Directives in 1980, units
traditionally trained through the
end of the duty day on Friday of
the first week, then released the
This week in SD National Guard history
troops on pass for the weekend to
return before reveille on the fol-
lowing Monday morning. Ninety
percent of the unit members would
be on pass over the weekend. A
duty officer and about 10 percent
of the unit strength remained on
duty over the weekend to provide
security of vehicles, weapons and
equipment. This was the case in
1972, so on June 6 most members
were planning to go home over the
weekend, leaving after duty hours
on June 9.
June 9, 1972 - On this date in
SDNG history - Rapid City Flood
of 1972: Extremely heavy rains
which began in the late afternoon
of June 9, 1972, caused the Sheriff
of Lawrence County to notify the
Adjutant General, Maj. Gen. Corn-
ing, of possible need of National
Guard support if flooding in the
Northern Hills continued. The call
was received at approximately
6:45 p.m. Maj. Gen. Corning re-
layed the information to Col. Elroy
(Stretch) Lemaster, deputy adju-
tant general, who in turn called
the duty officer, Capt. Donald
Huls, to alert the commanding of-
ficers at Camp Rapid of possible
flood duty. Lemaster called for a
briefing, to be held immediately at
the Camp Rapid Emergency Oper-
ating Center (EOC). Col. Lemaster
had only begun his briefing when
calls for assistance started coming
into State Radio, which was lo-
cated in the EOC.
The first calls were from the
Highway Patrol and Pennington
County Sheriff's Department to
blockade Nemo Road, and assis-
tance in rescue of a vehicle washed
off the road near Cleghorn
Canyon. Most Guardsmen on
Camp Rapid were reporting for
duty, however, more manpower
was needed and the call went out
over radio and television for all
Guardsmen at annual training to
report to Camp Rapid. Only 655
Guardsmen were in annual train-
ing at Camp Rapid. One thousand
fifteen artillerymen and support
troops were in the Badlands some
fifty miles east of Rapid City and
237 engineer troops were at
Roubaix Lake west of Rapid City
in the Black Hills. Units in the
Badlands had just completed their
first week of annual training and
were given the weekend off to
enjoy the Black Hills with their
families. Family Day for the Ar-
tillery Group had just finished in
the afternoon.
To get the call to all Guardsmen
on pass was impossible. No con-
firmed figures are available of just
how many reported in that fateful
night. It was impossible to keep
unit integrity as calls for assis-
tance were answered as rapidly as
men reported in. Rescue units
were made up of engineers ar-
tillerymen, transportation, main-
tenance, medics, aviators, and stat
headquarters personnel. Getting
the job done was paramount. Capt.
Bob Mallow, with a crew of five
other Soldiers from the 235th Sup-
ply Company and six men from the
740th Transportation Company
were dispatched at about 9:30 p.m.
on Friday to close Nemo Road at
the request of the Pennington
County Sheriff. They were flagged
down by a woman saying her three
children were trapped on the other
side of the creek. About that time
a pickup truck coming down the
road reported seeing a car going
into the creek. The driver thought
there were people in the car be-
cause the dome light had come on.
The crew found the car and Second
Gary Englestad, Pfc. Freeman
Phillips, Lt. John Parke and PFC
Gary Reinhold secured themselves
with ropes and went into the
creek. They found the car was
empty. On their return, the water
rose and the current got stronger,
forcing the four men into a tree. In
the next 20, minutes the water
climbed between 15 and 20 feet. It
was during the rescue missions in
that area that two South Dakota
National Guard Soldiers, Second
Lt. Gary Engelstad and Pfc. Free-
man Phillips lost their lives on Box
Elder Creek. Mallow and the re-
mainder of the Soldiers were iso-
lated and could not get back to
Camp Rapid until the next morn-
ing.
First Sgt. Myron Corbin of
Headquarters Battery, Second
Battalion, 147th Field Artillery,
Webster, S.D., was known to be in
downtown Rapid City when the
floodwaters struck and how Corbin
became a victim has never been
determined. Many other National
Guard individuals and teams per-
formed rescue mission throughout
Rapid City and the Black Hills
area. They did yeoman work and
the number of lives they saved can
only be told by those whose lives
they did save. Rescue teams re-
porting back to Camp Rapid
brought refugees and recovered
bodies. Some estimates ran as high
as 1,000 individuals saved.
Refugees were taken to the ar-
mory or local churches and given
cots, blankets and food. It was im-
possible to get to mortuaries to de-
liver bodies as the bridges over
Rapid Creek were out. The lights
in the entire city went out about
11:47 p.m. Fortunately, at the
Camp Rapid EOC, emergency
power and water were available.
Prior to this, lights in the flooded
area went out early in the evening
which caused more danger to those
attempting rescue operations.
Downed wires were everywhere
and fast moving debris of every de-
scription made it even more haz-
ardous to operate. Trees, light
poles, automobiles, trailer houses,
and homes were moving in the
flooded area at speeds up to 40
mph.
The word apnea actually means
no breath or breathless. Less
than one percent of patients with
sleep apnea is due to weakness of
the brain-controlled autonomic
drive to breath, called central
apnea; 85 percent is due to floppy-
fatty airways that obstruct breath-
ing, called obstructive apnea; and
the rest is due to a combination of
central and obstructive causes,
called complex apnea.
Whichever the type, sleep apnea
can be a dangerous, even deadly
condition, resulting in excessive
daytime sleepiness, depression,
anger and irritability, memory
loss, and even strokes. Whats
more, prolonged low-oxygen
causes increased risk for high
blood pressure, congestive heart
failure, heart attack, and sudden
death.
Clues for this serious condition
include high blood pressure, morn-
ing headaches, sudden awakening
with shortness of breath, observed
spells of breathing cessation, espe-
cially in people who are obese,
loud snorers, smokers, or sedated
by alcohol or sleeping meds. Then
again sometimes there is little
warning and sleep apnea is a
silent killer. If you or your spouse
could have sleep apnea, see your
doctor. You wouldnt want to have
Ondines curse.

By Richard P. Holm MD
There is an old German folk tale
about Ondine, a beautiful young
water nymph who fell in love with
a handsome mortal. Her lover
promised, My every waking
breath is a testimony of my love,
and yet later Ondine discovered
the mortal to be unfaithful. Her fa-
ther, the nymph king, then placed
a curse on the fickle lover making
his breathing a conscious and not
automatic process. Thus, if the
mortal should fall asleep, he
would forget to breath. Eventually
Ondines cursed lover succumbed
to complete exhaustion, fell
asleep, and died.
The name Ondines Curse was
first used in 1962 to describe three
brain surgery patients who died
resulting from the loss of the auto-
nomic drive to breath during
sleep. The name subsequently
came to be used to describe a rare
congenital syndrome in babies
with a similar inadequate breath-
ing drive. More recently experts
advise the name Ondines Curse
be dropped since the word curse
implies wrongdoing and guilt to
the parents of these unfortunate
babies.
I think this story better relates
to the broad category of conditions
called sleep apnea, which involves
troubled breathing while asleep.

The reduction in teachers
salaries for the coming year here
in Wall proves to be less than one
percent instead of five as originally
planned. The salaries for the past
year and the tentative schedule for
the coming year are as follows:
1931-32 1932-33
Supt. $2400.00 $2280.00
Prin. 2200.00 2100.00
H. Ec. 1440.00 1350.00
Eng. T 1350.00 1350.00
7 & 8 990.00 1300.00
4, 5 & 6 990.00 945.00
1, 2 & 3 990.00 945.00
TOTALS $10,360.00 $10,270.00
This shows a reduction of $90
which is about eight-tenths of one
percent less than last year. And
this same reduced salary schedule
is $435 more than paid the year
before 1930-31.
The freeze of the past week did
some damage to both grain and
gardens, tomato plants and beans
were the principal loss in the gar-
dens.
The closing ceremonies of the
1931-32 school year took place
with the Commencement Exer-
cises, Friday evening, where
twelve seniors and five eighth
graders received their diplomas.
High School graduates were Alvin
Schone, Alice Ramey, Edward
Johnston, Duane Martinson, Rus-
sell LeCocq, Lila Dixon, Caroline
Hall, Charles Douglas, Loyal
Gorseth, Anna Kraft, Helen Cole-
man and Emil Muller. Those who
received eighth grade diplomas
were Gordon Franklin, Lenore
Johnson, Helen Lurz, Donald
Schone, and Mary Jane Schone.

A months coyote kill by Wayne
Percy, who was champion coyote
hunter in Pennington County last
year, numbered 53 pups and an old
one. He brought the skins of the
animals into the county auditors
office Friday to make bounty
claims. He said he had killed all
the animals the past month, and
that he got the pups by locating
dens and killing them there. He
claimed bounty on 44 coyotes last
year.
Petitions were circulated Friday
for Hobe Kitterman, Wm. Clark
and Harvey Stone for members of
the Wall School Board to fill the
three offices which would be va-
cant June 30. Mrs. Alice Mills pe-
tition for treasurer was also circu-
lated. Since no other petitions
were filed, there will be no school
election. Harvey Stones petition
was circulated in place of R. F.
Bruce who did not wish to again
serve as a member. Since Bruce
was a holdover member, Stone will
hold office for a two year period.
Hobe Kitterman was appointed to
fill the vacancy brought about by
the resignation of G. W. Mills. He
and Clark will be now declared
elected for three year terms.
The stiff wind about 7:30 Mon-
day evening caused slight damage
to buildings on the Johnnie Biel-
maier and Tony Ogerlie farms.
Sixteen steel grain storage bins
with a total capacity of between
35,000 to 40,000 bushels have
been assigned for Wall. There were
twenty-four of these bins assigned
for Pennington County and would
all have been erected in Rapid
City, had not E. C. Smoot influ-
enced the commission to place the
bins in the grain areas. The bins
are expected this weekend and will
be erected on resettlement prop-
erty east of Pete Muellers. Grain
that is now stored on the farm
under seal will be transfered to
these emergency storage places,
thus giving the wheat raisers a
place to store their coming crop.

County Commissioner Martin
Ellingson has reported that the
heavy rain in the Hills last week
washed out twenty county bridges.
Some, he stated, were just the ap-
proaches. All available county man
power and machinery, he added,
are at work in the Hills making
temporary bridges in order to get
the roads open. Ellingson, along
with the other Commissioners,
was making an inspection tour of
these roads the first of the week.
The Wall-Quinn ball team,
under the management of Ken-
neth Renner, took their opening
game out of the fire in the last of
the ninth to win from Philip on the
Wall diamond, Sunday, 5 to 4.
BIRTH: Born to Mr. and Mrs.
Merritt Patterson, a boy, May 26,
at Rapid City.
The Wall-Quinn ball team won
their second game of the season in
a ten inning contest at Interior,
Sunday, 6 to 2.
Coming toward Wall following
the dance at Quinn, Neil Krampe
with a car load of young folks
swung too wide around the curve
at the bottom of the hill east of
town, lost control of this car which
cut across the highway and rolled.
Donald Krebs received a back in-
jury and Norma Sorensen suffered
cuts and bruises. The wrecked car,
a 1951 Nash belonging to his par-
ents Mr. and Mrs. Herb Krampe,
was taken to the K & K Implement
lot.
According to Mrs. Charles
Bruce, clerk of the Wasta Board of
Education, the following nominat-
ing petitions of the school board
have been filed: Earl Ferguson and
Mrs. Helen Henderson, for three
year terms; Clifford Sieh for a two
year term; and George Gunn for a
one year term left vacant when
Warren Paulsen moved out of
town.

A three-car smash-up occurred
at 2:30 p.m. Thursday at the inter-
section of Fourth Avenue and
Glenn Street, not in Chicago, but
in Wall. This is the corner of the
old highway and the Badlands
road. Quinn OConnell driving
north, stopped at the stop sign,
and witnessed the two cars collid-
ing and sliding in to his car. Quinn
says his car suffered $125 damage
for just observing traffic laws.
Cathy Olic, driving eastward, col-
lided with John Lynchs car that
was coming from the north. These
cars were extensively damaged,
but no personal injuries.
Rain, rain and more rain made
for three days of muddy Rodeoing
at Wall this weekend for the Re-
gional High School Rodeo. The
bucking stock, furnished by John
Holloway, were fresh from a win-
ters rest and sent the High School
lads into the mud generally well
before the eight second whistle. A
number of contestants were either
stepped on or kicked. Wade Berry
received the most serious injury.
While he was steer wrestling, the
steer cut back toppling him and
his horse. The house started to get
back on its feet, slipped and fell on
Wade again. He suffered a broken
arm up near the shoulder socket.
He will be in traction for three
weeks in Rapid City. Trudy Cox of
New Underwood, was named
Rodeo Queen. Coy Fisher of Kyle
was named All Around Cowboy
and Kim Risse of Bennett County
won all Around Cowgirl. Wall High
School easily won the most points
in the Regional Rodeo.

Department responded to a fire
near Exit 109 on Interstate 90. A
1970 Oldsmobile, driven by Fran-

My personal belief is that true
happiness is found in serving and
giving to another human being.
This quote from Og Mandino con-
firms my personal belief. (Please
pay special attention to the third
sentence.) "Realize that true happi-
ness lies within you. Waste no time
and effort searching for peace and
contentment and joy in the world
outside. Remember that there is no
happiness in having or in getting,
but only in giving. Reach out.
Share. Smile. Hug. Happiness is a
perfume you cannot pour on others
without getting a few drops on
yourself."
-Og Mandino
I aspire to live my life in such a
way that I am always aware of
what brings other people happi-
ness. For example, I know what
makes my wife happy is to have me
really take time to listen to her
when she is trying to share her
thoughts or opinions on a subject
that is important to her. I know
what makes my daughter happy is
to just spend a little Dad and
daughter time watching a movie or
shooting hoops together. Now I
may have other ideas of what I
would like to do, but as much as
possible I want to let my desire to
bring happiness to my wife and
daughter override my decision to
do what I want to do. In essence, I
make a decision to give of myself in
order to bring happiness to them.
Living this way obviously works
at work just as well as at home
when you take the time to discover
what brings happiness to your em-
ployer or fellow employees. When
we think in terms of the interests
of others, and do what we can to
meet those needs rather than only
thinking of our own needs, it will
ultimately result in a win-win for
everyone concerned. Not to men-
tion, this attitude can greatly im-
pact productivity, morale and ulti-
mately increase profitability in the
workplace.
My encouragement for you
today: Discover what brings happi-
ness to those you connect with
daily; then be willing to give of
yourself by reaching out, sharing,
smiling, listening, encouraging-in
whatever ways you can to meet
someone else's need.
Discover What Brings
Others Happiness
FINANCIAL FOCUS
AUTOMATIC INvESTING
CAN PAY OFF FOR YOU
Richard Wahlstrom
www.edwardjones.com
To achieve investment success,
you dont have to start out with a
huge sum or get lucky by picking
hot stocks. In fact, very few peo-
ple actually travel those two
routes. But in working toward
your investment goals, you need to
be persistent and one of the best
ways to demonstrate that persist-
ence is to invest automatically.
How do you become an auto-
matic investor? You simply need
to have your bank automatically
move money each month from a
checking or savings account into
the investments of your choice.
When youre first starting out in
the working world, you may not be
able to afford much, but any
amount even if its just $50 or
$100 a month will be valuable.
Then, as your career progresses
and your income rises, you can
gradually increase your monthly
contributions.
By becoming an automatic in-
vestor, you can gain some key ben-
efits, including these:
Discipline Many people
think about investing but decide to
wait until they have a little extra
cash. Before they realize it,
theyve used the money for other
purposes. When you invest auto-
matically, youre essentially taking
a spending decision out of your
hands. And as you see your ac-
counts grow over time, your invest-
ment discipline will be self-rein-
forcing.
Long-term focus Theres
never any shortage of events po-
litical crises, economic downturns,
natural disasters that cause in-
vestors to take a timeout from in-
vesting. Yet if you head to the in-
vestment sidelines, even for a
short while, you might miss out on
some good opportunities. By in-
vesting automatically each month,
youll maintain a long-term focus.
Potential for reduced invest-
ment costs If you invest the
same amount of money each
month into the same investments,
youll automatically be a smart
shopper. When prices drop, your
monthly investment will buy more
shares, and when prices rise, youll
buy fewer shares just as youd
probably buy less of anything
when prices are high. Over time,
this type of systematic investment
typically results in lower costs per
share. Furthermore, when you in-
vest systematically, youre less
likely to constantly buy and sell in-
vestments in an effort to boost
your returns. This type of frequent
trading is often ineffective and
it can raise your overall invest-
ment costs with potential fees,
commissions and taxes. (Keep in
mind, though, that systematic in-
vesting does not guarantee a profit
or protect against loss. Also, youll
need the financial resources avail-
able to keep investing through up
and down markets.)
Clearly, automatic investing of-
fers some major advantages to you
as you seek to build wealth. Of
course, if youre contributing to a
401(k) or other employer-spon-
sored retirement plan, youre al-
ready automatically investing be-
cause money is taken out of your
paycheck at regular intervals to go
toward the investments youve
chosen in your plan. But by em-
ploying automatic investing tech-
niques to other vehicles, such as
an Individual Retirement Account
(IRA), you can continue your
progress toward your long-term
goals, including retirement.
So, do what it takes to become
an automatic investor. Its easy, its
smart and it can help you work
toward the type of future youve
envisioned.

National Chocolate Ice Cream
Day is a great day to eat America's
favorite flavor of ice cream.
National Chocolate Ice Cream
Day is a field day for ice cream
makers. However, we probably
don't need any additional incentive
to eat Chocolate Ice Cream. And,
with the arrival of warm, summer
weather, cooling off with a little (or
a lot) of chocolate ice cream is a
natural.
Celebrate National Chocolate Ice
Cream Day by enjoying it a few
times today. It's as simple as that.
Just make sure to eat it quickly be-
fore it melts in the summer heat.
The Origin of Chocolate Ice
Cream Day:
Our research did not find the cre-
ator, or the origin of this day. Our
money is on the ice cream makers
as originators of this day.

FOCUS ON THE FAMILY
with Dr. James
Dobson
Dr. Dobson Answers
your Questions
QUESTION: I just lost my job,
and without my income I can't see
how my spouse and I are going to
make ends meet. How am I going to
break this terrible news? What will
we do if I can't find another job?
Can you help us weather this
storm?
ANSWER: It's important to
begin by looking at the implications
of your situation squarely in the
face. Don't be blindsided or caught
off-guard understand that unem-
ployment will impact your emo-
tional and mental well-being in a
very real way. It can also be a for-
midable challenge to the health of
your marriage. If you realize this,
you'll know where the stress is com-
ing from, and you'll be less likely to
take out your frustrations on your
spouse or other members of the
family.
There are good reasons for the
stress, of course. Job loss can be a
serious blow to an individual's
sense of identity. This is especially
true for husbands, since many men
define themselves in terms of their
work. That's not to mention that, in
some cases, their earnings are the
family's primary source of income
(even when this isn't true, a man
still tends to perceive his own worth
in terms of his ability to function as
a breadwinner). Without that in-
come, running out of money be-
comes a very real possibility, since
many couples haven't saved enough
to get them through a prolonged pe-
riod of unemployment. All this
weighs heavily on both partners, es-
pecially the one who feels most re-
sponsible to "bring home the
bacon."
So what should you do when un-
employment hits your household
and rattles your marriage? We have
several suggestions.
First, if you've been providing for
your family but have lost your job,
do everything you can to jump right
back into the job market. Don't wait
and don't delay. Try to find a posi-
tion you can get enthused about,
but if that's not available take any-
thing that will provide your family
with a living wage. You can work on
longer-term career goals on the
side.
Second, though moving away
from your support system may
sound scary, don't rule out the pos-
sibility of relocating. Here again,
the principle is to be humble, dili-
gent and disciplined enough to take
whatever you can get until some-
thing better presents itself. If you
have to move, you can look at it as
a fresh start and as an opportunity
for the two of you to nurture your
couple relationship away from the
demands of family and friends.
Third, be flexible about the
"breadwinner" role. Sometimes a
wife may have greater earning po-
tential than her husband this is
just a fact of the world we live in. If
she's taken a part-time job in order
to care for her children, that
arrangement may need to be re-
evaluated. At least for the time
being, dad may need to be willing to
play "Mr. Mom" while his wife takes
on the task of supporting the family
in a full-time position.
Fourth, look for ways to cut ex-
penses. Identify habits that can be
changed and plans and activities
that can be put on hold. Do without
restaurant lunches. Avoid buying
new clothes for six months. Turn
down the heat and wear more
sweaters. Shop at thrift stores or
yard sales.
In all of this, take pains to main-
tain your marriage and keep your
relationship on a sound footing. Go
out of your way to have fun and
keep things light as much as possi-
ble - it's crucial to keep up your
morale while waiting for circum-
stances to improve. If your spouse
loses his or her job, avoid the temp-
tation to ask a million questions or
deliver a lecture about family re-
sponsibility. Support your mate in
this crisis by helping with the job
search and expressing your willing-
ness to cut costs. A cheerful, positive
attitude will go a long way in a sit-
uation like this.
QUESTION: My husband lost
his job three months ago and hasn't
had much success finding a new
one. He is bored and depressed, and
I can tell that he's beginning to feel
worthless. How can I support him
through this difficult time?
ANSWER: Your concern for your
husband is commendable and un-
derstandable. Much of a man's self-
esteem is derived from his ability to
provide for his family. The longer he
is unemployed, the weaker his
sense of worth can become.
Perhaps the most important
thing you can do is to offer a listen-
ing ear. Let him know that he can
lay aside the tough exterior of man-
hood and honestly share his feel-
ings with you. Do your best to en-
gage him in heartfelt conversation.
If he openly shares his insecurities
and frustrations with you, seize the
opportunity to build him up. Affirm
your husband and reassure him of
your faith in him. You might say
something like: "We've been
through tough times before, and to-
gether we will get though this one,
too. I believe in you, and I am pray-
ing for you."
As he steps out into the world in
an attempt to find a new position,
he's going to need you to act as his
cheerleader. Looking for a job is
hard work; the very effort of con-
tacting employers, filling out appli-
cations and submitting resums
should be celebrated. Encourage
him with meaningful rewards such
as a candlelight dinner, a funny
card something that says thank
you for his diligence in seeking to
provide for his family. Little ges-
tures like this will make a bigger
difference than you realize.
In addition, you can gently re-
mind your husband of the impor-
tance of staying productive. Idle-
ness will only feed his depression.
Encourage him to work on the
honey-do list, volunteer at church
or in the community anything
rather than sitting on the couch.
You may also need to call in rein-
forcements, such as a friend who
can take him to a ball game or pro-
vide some other temporary diver-
sion.
If either you or your husband feel
the need of some encouraging words
from an outside party, feel free to
contact Focus on the Family's coun-
seling staff. They are trained Chris-
tian therapists who would be more
than happy to discuss your concerns
with you over the phone. They can
also provide you with referrals to
professional counselors practicing
in your local area. You can reach
one of them Monday through Fri-
day between 6:00 a.m. and 8:00
p.m. Mountain time at 855-771-
HELP (4357).
In closing, bear in mind that your
man has no greater asset or re-
source than your unwavering faith
in his worth, your words of affirma-
tion and your practical support.
When all else fails, your love will
help keep his spirits up. And re-
member: this difficult season, like
all seasons of life, will pass.
QUESTION: My spouse has
never learned how to save, give,
tithe or plan a budget. As a result,
we're deeply in debt and faced with
selling our home in order to pay off
our creditors. I've lost all respect for
him, and I'm thinking seriously
about divorce. Is there any way out
of this mess?
ANSWER: Your circumstances
probably aren't going to change
without some kind of direct inter-
vention. Depending on your hus-
band's past history of receptivity
and cooperation, however, you may
want to seek out the advice of a li-
censed Christian counselor before
proceeding. Once you're ready to
move forward, our recommendation
is that you get someone to help you
confront your husband about his ir-
responsible lifestyle perhaps a
friend or the pastor of your church.
If he reacts negatively, pull together
a group of his male friends whose
relationship with your husband is
such that they will be able to hold
him accountable for his actions.
This meeting should be conducted
with a specific objective in mind.
For example, as a first step the
group might require that your
spouse begin working on a detailed
budget plan or making payments on
his credit card debt. This technique
is often used in dealing with addic-
tions and substance abuse, but it
can work equally well in the case of
a financial prodigal. A professional
therapist could be consulted for as-
sistance and expert advice.
If the intervention is successful,
your husband should be paired up
with a mentor or enrolled in an ac-
countability group that can help
him follow through on his resolu-
tions. He should also be encouraged
to join you in seeking the help of a
marriage counselor. If he is unwill-
ing to cooperate, you should not
hesitate to pursue counseling on
your own.
Meanwhile, do what you can to
hold his feet to the fire. Your
spouse's irresponsible actions have
placed you in a tenuous position. To
that extent it would be fair to char-
acterize his behavior as dangerous
and abusive. Our counselors often
suggest that a husband or wife in a
situation like yours needs to "pre-
cipitate a crisis." While we don't be-
lieve that divorce is the answer in
this instance, we do feel strongly
that a temporary separation might
have the effect of forcing your hus-
band to take a second look at his fi-
nancial habits and attitudes. For
more information on this "tough
love" approach, we suggest you get
a copy of Dr. Dobson's book Love
Must Be Tough and study it care-
fully. You may also find Beth
Moore's Praying God's Word to be a
source comfort and encouragement
during this difficult period in your
life. Both books can be ordered via
our Family Store.
