countless hours of service to the 

community. 

Kitterman was honored for his 

volunteered hours to the school

Woodmen of America’s Hometown 

Heroes Program. In recognition of 

his efforts, members of Modern 

Woodmen’s Philip chapter presented 

Kitterman with a certificate 

and awarded a $100 grant to 

the Kid’s Garden, the charitable 

organization of his choice. 

Coordinated by local Modern 

Woodmen members, chapters provide 

opportunities to connect 

through social activities and volunteer 

projects.

Jeanine Sykora, Dani Herring 

and Pandi Pittman, better known 

as the garden team gave an update 

to the Wall School Board during 

their Wednesday, May 8 meeting. 

Mary Williams along with the 

garden team have submitted the 

federal grant and will hear back in 

November to see if they acquired 

the grant. 

Herring said, “the greenhouse 

will be 20’x36’and all automated.” 

She went on to say, “the produce 

grown will be used by the lunch 

room, food pantry and the four garden 

markets to be held during the 

summer months.” They will also 

grow landscaping plants for the 

Beautification Committee. 

Pittman noted that K-5, elementary 

and high school science 

classes along with the ag programs 

will have curriculum that involves 

how things are grown in a greenhouse. 

J. Sykora has been attending 

classes to become a Master Gardener 

which is a requirement that 

the grant for the greenhouse requires. 

Williams informed the board she 

is really excited about the project 

and growing food for the lunch 

room. 

The Freshmen Ag class would 

also like to do some landscaping 

around the school. The board was 

okay with the north side of the 

school but would like to see pictures 

of the trees that would be 

planted around the flag pole. 

The board approved the 

SDHSAA amendment ballot along 

with SDHSAA Board of Control 

their communities is Modern 

Woodmen’s mission, said Don 

Haynes, local Modern Woodmen 

activities coordinator. “The Hometown 

Heroes Program helps us acknowledge 

and thank volunteers 

across the country for doing just 

that.” 

As a tax-exempt fraternal benefit 

society, Modern Woodmen sells 

life insurance, annuity and investment 

products not to benefit stockholders 

but to improve the quality 

of life of its stakeholders-members, 

their families and their communities. 

This is accomplished through 

social, charitable and volunteer activities. 

Annually Modern Woodmen 

and its members provide 

more than $23 million and nearly 

one million volunteer hours for 

community projects nationwide. 

EPCAD met for May meeting 

by Laurie Hindman 

Vice-President Jem Kjerstad 

called the Eastern Pennington 

County Ambulance District meeting 

to order on Friday, May 10. 

Minutes from the April 18 meeting 

along with the bills were approved. 

The financial report was approved 

after Carolynn Anderson 

explained how the report reads. 

Anderson said, “she has received 

the spread sheet from the county 

with all the properties listed for 

the special assessment.” She noted 

it is just a matter of going through 

the spread sheet and deleting certain 

codes. 

Kjerstad expressed concern as to 

why they will have to go by a special 

assessment now instead of a 

tax district. 

Kjerstad will talk with Wally 

Hoffman and see who they should 

call and how to proceed with this 

issue. 

The next meeting will be held on 

June 17 at the Wall Community 

Center meeting room. 

With no other business the 

meeting was adjourned.

reported the school is all 

caught up with Impact Aid payments 

which is the first time since 

he has been here.

Rieckman has met with Golden 

West to request bids for different 

security systems for the school. He

at the next board meeting.

Wall City Council heard from 

several visitors during their May 

9, meeting. 

Steve Wyant with the Wounded 

Knee Museum brought his concerns 

of traffic blocking 10th 

Street and backing traffic from 

Glenn Street onto the interstate. 

Mayor Dave Hahn, asked the 

council how do we address this 

issue? Rick Hustead suggested we 

have the city engineer look at it. It 

was decided to have the Street 

Committee look into the issue and 

come back with recommendations 

at the June meeting. 

Wounded Knee Museum which 

has become a pathetic eye sore for 

the community, said Hahn was addressed. 

Tim Eisenbraun will be 

replacing the roof and facade. 

Eisenbraun isn’t sure when Wyant 

will order the trusses but said, 

once they arrive it will take three 

or four days to have the roof done.

Elm Springs students take part in “April is poetry month” 

The Elm Springs students celebrated 

Poetry month in April by 

writing poems. Each student selected 

a topic and here is the results 

of the eighth grade class: 

Snow Poem 

By Kassandra Linn 

Eighth grade 

The snow falls gently to the 

earth, 

Giving the prairie grass new 

birth. 

Children make snowmen, snow 

angels, and snow forts, 

A foot of snow, WOW WHAT A 

BLAST! 

Not having school for two days, 

made many happy. 

Climbing high up on the snow I 

was a snow queen, 

Of a vast snow kingdom. 

Seeking out my cats was way 

too much fun 

Like a wintertime mystery. 

Snowing for two days sure felt 

like a blizzard, 

Being snowed in at my house 

made me feel very cozy. 

Having hot chocolate made my 

joy complete, 

As I watched my little sister, I 

cuddled up in a blanket. 

And fell asleep, not a care in the 

world. 

Spending time with my family, 

Dad, Mom, and Sis 

Was a wonderful way to pass 

time 

As the snow fell gently to the 

earth. 

Springtime 

By Jacob Linn 

Eighth grade 

It started to storm Monday afternoon, 

Rain and snow and sleet all one 

sitting. 

The heifers seemed at peace nothing 

going on, 

The phone rang, “No school tomorrow” 

Looks like I got the night shift. 

The snow started to drift, 

It was coming down hard, 

It looked quite fightful out, looked 

too cold for me, 

But never-the-less, it was my turn. 

I went out before at eight, 

And Ben was at ten, 

So I was putting on my coat, 

To go back out at twelve. 

I walked out through the snow so 

thick, 

Not being able to see, five feet 

ahead 

The snow was blinding and piling 

up quick 

Good thing the heifers were already 

in the shed. 

The first calf I found was way out 

in the cold 

All curled up in the snow, I could 

barely even see him. 

His mama was worried sick, the 

calf wasn’t very old, 

I took the calf to warmth, and his 

mama was feeling better. 

The rest of the heifers were perfectly 

fine. 

Chewing their cud and watching 

the snow fall. 

And the next day and night, I do 

it all over again. 

Working with cattle both day and 

night, I don’t mind at all 

In fact I enjoy it. It’s one of my favorite 

times of the year. 

Spring 

By Carter Elshere 

Spring is such a joyous time 

There are so many things to do, 

So many calves being born 

On the fresh green grass, covered 

in dew. 

The snow begins to melt off 

And leaves a bunch of mud, 

Which leads to nice green grass 

All over the prairie sod. 

I always ride my horse 

To tag and check calves, 

We tag a few every day 

If their ears aren’t in halves! 

I can ride my dirt bike 

All over God’s green land, 

Up through draws and trees 

Any by the river’s sand. 

I am getting ready for rodeo, 

Which rolls around in June, 

Roping steers, and riding broncs, 

Will be coming around the corner 

soon. 

Before we even know it 

Branding will be coming, 

Then on to sorting pairs 

That soon will be hauling. 

Spring is such a fun time for me 

With all our ranch work and activities, 

I feel for the kids that don’t get to 

experience what I do 

Especially the ones that live in the 

big cities! 

Springtime 

By Savana Johnston 

Eighth grade 

Springtime is a fun time of the 

year 

It is very busy with so many 

things to do 

Calving is my favorite 

With all the little baby calves 

They are all so cute! 

From pure black to baldy or even 

red 

It doesn’t matter to me! 

They play and run and check 

things out 

It doesn’t matter what they do 

They are always cute! 

We finally got some moisture 

And we are all thanking the Lord 

It is pretty hard on the calves 

But they will get through it 

We have only lost one 

As far as I know 

It is pretty hard to find them 

Down in the deep snow. 

Riding my horse to do many 

things 

Searching through the snow 

For little baby calves 

I can’t wait to ride in the nice 

weather!Watching the change that 

the snow will bring 

It won’t be long until we see 

The grass is growing 

The flowers will bloom 

They will really take off after this 

snow storm 

The cows love the green grass 

And the horses do too 

Practicing rodeo 

Which will be here soon! 

From roping calves, to running 

barrels 

It will all satisfy me!!

Fourth graders plant tree 

Through the S.D. Healthadventure program, the fourth grade 

class participated in the South Dakota Travel Tour of towns 

across the state throughout the year. When the town of Belle 

Fourche was taught, one of the activities was a poetry contest 

for Arbor Day. Due to the fact that Belle Fourche is located on 

the upper edge of the Black Hills, the S.D. tree was discussed. 

This was tied in to a poetry contest by the POET department 

sponsoring a contest about the environment and trees. After receiving 

the poems, a three foot Oak Burr was sent to the school. 

The fourth graders along with the help of Dan Hauk and Mrs. 

Karol Patterson, the tree was planted on the school grounds. 

May shade and beauty be enjoyed for many years. Pictured back

Wall Community Library celebrates 

Children’s Book Week 

May 13-19, 2013 is Children's 

Book Week, the annual celebration 

of books for young people and the 

joy of reading. 

The website for Children’s Book 

Week explains how the week 

began and the sponsors responsible 

for its success: 

“Children's Book Week is administered 

by Every Child A Reader, a 

501(c)(3) literacy organization dedicated 

to instilling a lifelong love of 

reading in children. 

The Children’s Book Council, 

the national non-profit trade association 

for children's book publishers, 

is an anchor sponsor. 

Children's Book Week originated 

in the belief that children's books 

and literacy are life-changers. 

In 1913, Franklin K. Matthiews, 

the librarian of the Boy Scouts of 

America, began touring the country 

to promote higher standards in 

children's books. 

He proposed creating a Children's 

Book Week, which would be 

supported by all interested groups: 

publishers, booksellers, and librarians. 

The need for Children’s Book 

Week today is as essential as it 

was in 1919, and the task remains 

the realization of Frederic 

Melcher’s fundamental declaration: 

“A great nation is a reading 

nation.”” 

You probably already realize the 

extent of my addiction to children’s 

books. If I might, I’d like to give a 

cheer for all the wonderful children’s 

authors out there. 

Children’s books have changed 

The Pre-Region Golf meet was 

held at the Hart Ranch on Monday, 

May 6. The Lady Eagles team took

since we were reading them and 

the diversity is amazing. 

There are tried and true authors 

like Kate DiCamillo, Mo Willems, 

and Rick Riordan. But there are 

also a good many of your favorite 

adult authors who have branched 

out into the children’s genre, with 

surprisingly good results! 

James Patterson has a couple 

series of children’s books. 

Jodi Piccoult has tried her hand, 

in conjunction with her daughter, 

at writing teen lit. 

Ian Fleming has left his spy novels 

for Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, a 

rousingly good children’s story. 

Of course, there are the young 

adult authors who just tell wonderful 

stories which are appreciated 

by young and old alike, think 

Stephanie Meyer and Jessica 

Park. 

If you have an interest in trying 

out some of these crossover authors, 

come by the Library and 

we’ll help you find the perfect 

book! 

Don’t forget our upcoming 

events, “Meet the Author” – Jennifer 

Spinola on Saturday, May 25 

at 11:00 a.m., and Book Discussion 

Group – The Wizard of Oz on 

Wednesday, May 29 at 6:00 p.m. 

Both events will be held at the 

Library, 407 Main Street. If you

Blood drive planned to 

stock hospital shelves 

Want to have a great feeling all 

day on May 20? Plan to stop by the 

Wall Methodist Church blood 

drive, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., 

at the Wall Community Center. 

By giving blood, a donor helps 

replenish a community resource 

used by a neighbor, relative, friend 

or even a complete stranger. The 

donation gives a future patient the 

same recovery opportunity as current 

patient, because it assures 

blood will be on the hospital shelf 

when it’s needed. 

Only when a significant number 

of people donate on a regular basis 

can a community maintain adequate 

blood supplies. “If everyone 

waited for an emergency to donate, 

many lives would be jeopardized,” 

said Lori Liebman, United Blood 

Services’ Donor Recruitment Di- 

Petals & Pots 

has a lot of pretty fresh flowers 

bedding plants and vegetables. 

Stop in and see 

Juanita and the crew. 

Phone 279-2202 • Wall, SD 

rector. “Waiting to donate in an 

emergency only creates more 

emergencies. Blood must be available 

at all time in sufficient 

amounts to meet the needs of a 

community.” 

Volunteer blood donors must be 

at least 16 years old, weigh at least 

110 pounds and be in good health. 

Additional height/weight requirements 

apply to donors 22 and 

younger, and donors who are 16, or 

17 in certain areas, must have 

signed permission from a parent or 

guardian. 

Potential donors can make an 

appointment to give at www.bloodhero.com 

or by calling 605-342- 

8585 in Rapid City, or 605-996- 

3688 in Mitchell. Donors will receive 

a free cholesterol test.

A beautiful and happy sight! 

Sorry about you poor deprived

Elm Springs residents are busy 

enjoying the nice weather and 

doing spring work. Some brandings 

were taking place and lots of 

cow moving and of course still 

planting in hopes and prayers of 

the rains that are predicted later 

(not sure how much later but hopefully 

sooner rather than later!) 

Friday evening at 7 p.m. at the 

Elm Springs Hall is the Elm 

Springs School Eighth grade graduation

to Rapid on Wednesday to run errands 

and pick up branding supplies. 

Thursday, Peggy and Janet 

Wilson drove to Mitchell for the Lit 

Swap for the rest area that was 

held at the Corn Palace. They also 

got to tour the museum down 

there which was very interesting. 

After they were done with that 

they met Susie Cuppy for a milkshake 

before heading back home. 

Actually, they “antiqued” their way 

home. It was a long day, but lots of 

fun and found some neat things in 

the antique shops. The Gravatt's 

branded on Saturday and then 

went to Rapid City that night to 

watch granddaughter, Madison 

Fuegen's dance recital that was 

held at the Civic Center. For 

Mother's Day, Peggy and Larry 

went back to Rapid City to have 

brunch with Brad, Jes and the 

boys at their house along with Jes' 

mom, DeAnn Meyers. Sunday 

evening, Larry and Peggy were unwinding 

on the porch with a “beverage” 

when Mary Kay and Philip 

Wilson dropped by. The “beverage” 

drinking continued with a good 

visit. 

John, Jean, and Jim Linn attended 

the dance recital at the 

civic center for Laura and Katie 

Wilsey, Saturday night. 

Sunday evening at Tom and 

Shelia Trask’s were visitors to celebrate 

Tomilyn’s birthday on Monday: 

Pat, Julie, Joe, Nick, Gemma 

and Austin Trask, Dunbar Anders 

and Tomilyn’s family. Some of 

them went fishing to no avail earlier 

in the evening. They had enjoyed 

a day at home and went for 

a ride with the team of Percheron 

mares - Molly and Megan. 

College students in the area are 

home from their studies and ready 

to get to work for the summer.

Delsie Doughty Wall_____________________________ 

Delsie Wall, 82, died at the 

Lutheran Collier Hospice Center 

in Wheatridge, Colo. She passed 

from this pet filled life via the rainbow 

bridge on April 24, 2013. 

Delsie was born in Greybull, 

Wyo., to Florence Herink Doughty 

and Charles Doughty, formerly of 

Wall, S.D. 

A railroad transfer of her father, 

Charles, took them to Greybull, 

Wyo, and then to Denver, Colo. 

Delsie lived most of her life in Arvada, 

Colo. She worked for Alright 

Parking and Ennis Inc. After her 

sister, Gladys, was deceased, 

Mary E. Jones, age 94, of Quinn, 

S.D., died Sunday morning May 5, 

2013, at the Hans P. Peterson Memorial 

Hospital in Philip. 

The world lost a treasure May 

5th, 2013 when Mary Jones left us. 

Mary filled her 94 years with a zest 

for life few can match. 

As a young child, Mary’s natural 

love of life and those around her delighted 

her parents and two older 

siblings. Being a number of years 

younger than her brother and sister 

she was the apple of everybody’s 

Mary E. Jones_________________________________ 

eye. 

During her elementary and high 

school years Mary’s ability to develop 

and cement friendships budded 

and blossomed. Throughout 

her life, she seemed to be a friend 

magnet. One young man, Doug 

Jones, was lucky enough to attract 

her. They were married October 31, 

1946 and Mary brought the same 

enthusiasm for life and love of people 

into her new home. An afternoon 

in her home, one meal at the 

Jones table, and you were forever 

one of the family. Life was never 

dull when Mary was around, affectionately 

referred to as a “Forever 

Party Girl.” 

Throughout it all, Mary was involved 

in her children’s classrooms 

and activities--Scouts and Jobs 

Daughters. Each child had an elaborate 

birthday party every year— 

even with two of them falling 

within a week of Christmas! Wife, 

mother, employee, and she still had 

time for bridge, majong, oil painting, 

crafts, and crocheting her famous 

dishcloths. 

Mary loved to travel. In her later 

years she was able to visit children 

and grandchildren in Colorado, 

Idaho, Texas, North and South 

Dakota. When Mary was 80, she 

fulfilled a life-time dream with the 

help of two of her daughters--three

Delsie cared for her mother, Florence 

Doughty. 

Delsie married Ronald Wall, 

September 2, 1966. They were 

married 46 years. Delsie was an 

avid bowler and a member of 

Dumb Friends League and the Humane 

Society. Her home was always 

open to many dogs and cats. 

She was preceded in death by 

her parents of Wall, S.D.; and her 

sister and brother-in-law, Charles 

Smith and Gladys Doughty Smith 

of Greybull, Wyo. 

Delsie is survived by her husband, 

Ronald Wall; one son, Rodney 

Wall; three step-children, Lee 

Ann Mann, Jeff Wall and Scott 

Wall; seven step-grandchildren, all 

of Denver, Colo. Nieces, Carolyn 

Smith Wertman, Sheridan, Wyo, 

Merilyn Smith Fredricks, Boise, 

Idaho; and nephews, Edgar Smith 

and Morris Smith of Shell. Two of 

her many cousins are Lucille 

Doughty Huether and Phylis 

Doughty Reub of Rapid City, S.D. 

and numerous other relatives and 

friends. 

Interment will be in the Arvada, 

Colo., cemetery. 

days in Vegas!! Mary never stopped 

a minute and wore out both her 

daughters. Besides her family and 

friends, Mary had great love for her 

dogs--Shadow, Chevas, and Tena-- 

and football. She could out pick 

most of the experts on any given 

Sunday (to the great chagrin of her 

sons-in-law). Her greatest football 

love though was the Broncos. One 

of the highlights of her life was 

when she got to attend a Bronco’s 

game at Mile High Stadium. 

Another well-earned pet name, 

“Energizer Bunny,” demonstrated 

itself in both Mary’s personal and 

professional life. While raising four 

children, Mary worked in many different 

professions from telephone 

operator in Winner, hosting greeting 

card parties in her home, secretarial 

work, Avon District leadership 

positions, Motel owner in 

Custer and Wall, and finally as a 

hostess at the Cactus Café in Wall. 

Her fondest quote was, “I started 

getting old when I quit working.” 

(at the age of 85) 

At Mary’s request cremation has 

taken place. 

A celebration of life open house 

was held from 2-4 p.m. Saturday, 

May 11, at the Quinn Community 

Center in Quinn, South Dakota. 

Arrangements are with the 

Rush Funeral Chapel of Wall.

Planting Seeds 

I was very fortunate to have been 

raised on a farm where Mom and 

Dad taught us kids some awesome 

lifelong principles. Even though I 

did not realize at the time just how 

fortunate I was, now I am able to 

look back in appreciation of all that 

I learned growing up on the farmthings 

like Nothing in life is free or 

easy . . . Get up and out of bed early 

every morning . . . Work and work 

hard . . . To harvest a crop, you must 

first plant . . . Pick the weeds and 

pick the rocks . . . Keep the barn 

clean. The list could go on and on. 

In those days, I always had lots of 

chores to do on the farm, but planting 

seeds became my favorite thing 

to do. Planting seeds is still my favorite 

thing to do. Since I moved 

away from the farm many years ago, 

I have discovered another way to 

plant seeds. I still like to plant a bit 

of wheat and corn and vegetable 

seeds into the rich, fertile soil, but I 

also like to plant what I call "Positive 

Seeds" into the lives of others. 

I plant seeds of hope, seeds of 

love, seeds of encouragement, seeds 

of wisdom, seeds of ideas, and of 

course, seeds of success. Sometime, 

just like on the farm, the seeds have 

fallen on rocky ground, and the result 

is little or no harvest. But many, 

many times the seeds have fallen on 

the lives of people who were hungry 

for growth, for change, for a richer, 

fuller and happier life.

Posted By Pastor Cornelius R. Stam 

In a way the Christian life is a stand; in another it is a walk, and in still another a race. 

In I Cor. 15:1 the Apostle Paul writes of “the gospel… wherein ye stand” and in Rom. 5:2 of “this 

grace wherein we stand,” while in Gal. 5:1 he bids us: “Stand fast… in the liberty wherewith Christ 

hath made us free.” Perhaps all this is well summed up in his appeal to his beloved Philippians: 

“Therefore, my brethren, dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown… stand fast in 

the Lord, my dearly beloved” (Phil. 4:1). 

But the Christian life is more than a stand — it is a walk (which in Scripture refers to conduct). Once, 

says Paul, we walked “in trespasses and sins” (Eph. 2:1,2) but having been saved by grace, through 

faith in Christ, we are now to “walk in newness of life” (Rom. 6:4). Thus the Apostle bids us to “walk 

worthy of the Lord” (Col. 1:10), to “walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, redeeming the time, 

because the days are evil” (Eph. 5:15-16). 

But the Christian life is even more than a walk; it is a race. Sad to say, many Christians whose 

“walk” is consistent and commendable, have never come to look upon the Christian life as a race. 

These never put enough into it so that it might be said of them that they are running. Yet the same 

great Apostle wrote, by divine inspiration: 

“Let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run 

with patience the race that is set before us” (Heb. 12:1). 

The word “patience” in this passage points up the fact that the Christian life is not a short “hundredyard 

dash”; it requires much endurance. Thus we should put into it all that we have. “They which run 

in a race,” says the Apostle, “run all,” but they do not all receive the prize. Hence the admonition: “So 

run that ye may obtain” (I Cor. 9:24). 

Those who have not trusted Christ as Savior have not even begun to stand, or walk, much less to 

run a race for Him. These might as well forget rewards until they first accept “the gift of God… eternal 

life through Jesus Christ our Lord” (Rom. 6:23).

The Wall Elementary fifth grade 

class received certificates, pencils 

and red t-shirts on Thursday, May 

9, when they graduated from the 

Drug Abuse Resistance Education 

(D.A.R.E.) program. 

Deputy Rick McPherson instructor 

for the program and Robert 

Schoeberl shook hands and congratulated 

students as they came 

forward to receive their awards 

from Superintendent Dennis 

Rieckman. 

Deputy McPherson taught the 

program to 15 fifth graders who 

were taught skills to avoid alcohol, 

drugs or tobacco, peer pressure and 

bullying. 

Deputy McPherson said, “The 

big topic of the program this year 

was helping students with peer 

pressure and bullying.” McPherson 

announced the winners of the essay 

contest: first - Aidan Brunnemann; 

second - Zack Hout; third - Kassidy 

Sawvell. 

D.A.R.E. officers also pick one 

person from the class who is an exemplary 

role mode in-class as well 

as out-of-class. McPherson announced 

that Lola Kleinschmidt 

was the deserving recipient of the 

D.A.R.E. mascot stuffed animal, 

named Darin. 

Students in the class also received 

basketballs and volleyballs 

P I C 

from the school for graduating 

from D.A.R.E. by Principal Chuck 

Sykora. 

D.A.R.E. report first place winner 

Aidan Brunnemann essay: 

My class and I started D.A.R.E. 

at the beginning of January for 12 

weeks. The first thing I learned 

was what D.A.R.E. means. It 

means two things, Drug, Abuse, 

Resistance, Education. The other 

one, the decision making model, 

means Define, Assess, Respond, 

! --&-. ). 

+$0 *(+'$0 

Evaluate. This is what D.A.R.E. 

means. But I didn’t learn just that. 

I learned the damage, and how to 

say no to drugs, alcohol, smoking, 

marijuana, and inhalants. But the 

thing is, deep within, we know it is 

wrong these drugs and alcohol. 

That is why there’s D.A.R.E., to 

help you say no. 

I said the majority of what we 

learned in D.A.R.E, drugs, alcohol, 

smoking, marijuana and inhalants. 

But there were a few 

things I forgot to say we learned. 

We learned peer pressure, personal 

pressure, problem solving 

and bullying. There are tons of 

drugs, like methamphetamine, cocaine, 

tobacco, nicotine, the list 

goes on and on. As for alcohol, that 

is a colorless liquid made from the 

fermentation of sugar, found in 

some drinks, whereas too much 

can damage your brain cells, make 

you have memory lapses and make 

you have slurred speech. The ads 

might say alcohol is great, but the 

people who put those signs up, are 

trying to make money. None of 

those ads are the least bit true. 

Some people do the same thing 

with cigarettes, they say they are 

great, but they really block up your 

lungs with tar, there are 200 

known poisons, and once you start 

the nicotine makes you addicted. 

Those are the dangers of drugs and 

alcohol. 

So, I learned all that in 12 

weeks. My D.A.R.E. instructor 

Deputy McPherson taught me a lot 

I will never forget. Life is short 

enough, don’t bother making it 

shorter. Yeah well that is what is 

going to happen if you smoke, do 

drugs, and drink alcohol. It doesn’t 

seem like it is worth it. I have to 

say, I really like D.A.R.E. it taught 

me a lot. 

I, Aidan Brunnemann, on this 

day in May, pledge to be drug and 

alcohol free for the rest of my life, 

and when I am in a pressured situation, 

I will do the right thing 

and make the right decision. I will 

always refer to my D.A.R.E. decision 

making model. 

D.A.R.E. report second place 

winner Zach Hout wrote: The past 

12 week we’ve been in D.A.R.E. 

Dare is a program that tells kids 

about drugs, smoking, drinking 

and bullying and so on. Our 

teacher for D.A.R.E. was Deputy 

McPherson. Now I am going to tell 

you what those so ons are. I 

learned a lot in D.A.R.E. it was 

fun. 

D.A.R.E.stands for Define Assess 

Repond Evaluate that one is 

for problem solving. It also stands 

for Drug Abuse Resistance Education. 

I guess that one is what the 

cops call it. I like what the cops call 

it. It sounds cool. 

Problem solving is a big part of 

D.A.R.E. For example one of your 

friends would walk up to you and 

ask if you would want a beer. What 

would you do? That’s were 

D.A.R.E. comes in Define: what’s 

the problem. Asses: your choices. 

Respond: use the facts and the information 

that you gathered. Evaluate: 

did you make a good choice. 

There are five kinds of peer pressure, 

common peer pressure, indirect 

peer pressure, heavy peer 

pressure and bullying peer pressure. 

It is hard to say or react 

when somebody is giving you any 

kind of peer pressure. Your face 

turns red and you get nervous. 

Drugs are very bad this is what 

D.A.R.E. tries to tell you. Tobacco 

is bad for you. Here are some 

things that are bad. Smoking 

causes heart disease, lung cancer 

and the tar in it blocks your 

breathing. It has 200 poisons in it. 

Marijuana make you lose your 

memory, you have slower reflexes. 

If you want to play sports, marijuana 

in not a good thing. Drinking 

also slows down your reflexes. 

Alcohol damages every organ in 

you body, it can lead to coma and 

then death. It is very bad, never, 

ever do it because you can die the 

very first time. It is called huffing. 

I learned a lot during D.A.R.E. 

First I learned what D.A.R.E. 

meant. I learned a lot about drugs 

and smoking. I learned that drinking 

can cause slower reflexes, and 

I didn’t know what huffing was. 

And that tobacco has nicotine in it. 

nicotine is a drug that gets you addicted. 

Marijuana tobacco and inherence 

hurts your brain, mouth, 

throat, lungs, heart and liver. 

I am glad we did D.A.R.E. It was 

fun and I learned a lot. I want to 

say thanks to Deputy McPherson 

for telling us about drugs, tobacco, 

marijuana, huffing and more. 

D.A.R.E. was a lot of fun and I 

learned a lot. 

I, Zach Hout, swear that I will 

not smoke under the age of 18 and 

I will not drink under the age of 

21or do marijuana, cocaine, or any 

kind of other drugs. I pledge to 

stay drug free for the rest of my 

life. 

Third place for the D.A.R.E. report 

went to Kassidy Sawvell, who 

wrote: I learned a lot about the use 

of drugs and how they are bad for 

you. Like tobacco, it causes breathing 

problems, heart disease, lung 

cancer, it has 200 poisons, and it 

has nicotine in it. Marijuana, alcohol, 

and inhalants are bad for you 

too. I also learned about peer pressure 

and problem solving. There is 

a problem solving model of 

D.A.R.E. It is Define Assess Respond 

Evaluate. That is how we 

learned to solve problems. First 

you Define, describe the problem. 

Then you Assess, think of your 

choices. Next you respond, make 

the decision. Last you Evaluate, 

review your decision. D.A.R.E. also 

means Drug Abuse Resistance Education. 

We learned how to say no 

to bullies and you should never 

stand up to a bully alone. You 

should always be a good friend and 

never make them do things they 

don’t want to do. 

Tobacco is not the only drug, or 

the worst drug. Marijuana also 

causes breathing problems, short 

term memory loss, cancer and 

makes it so you can’t concentrate 

very well. Same as every other 

drug it is addictive, and they all 

have nicotine in them. Have you 

noticed that almost every where 

you look there is a picture that has 

someone smoking or drinking on 

it? Did you notice that most of the 

people in the pictures or videos are 

young? That is because the people 

that sell the product think they 

will sell more drugs to young people 

because they have a longer life 

than someone that is fifty and 

starts drinking or smoking. Signs 

and banners are not the only type 

of peer pressure. Sometime in your 

life you are going to have peer 

pressure. Whether someone pressures 

you to drink or smoke. Someone 

might even tempt you to steal 

something. Remember to do what 

you know is right and when or if 

you say no always have facts to 

back you up and always look the 

person directly in the eye when 

you talk to them. Once you look 

the person in the eye you already 

have the battle half won. Little 

things like that can help you immensely 

through life and all the 

problems that you could have. 

Since January, Deputy McPherson 

taught my class how to deal 

with every day problems. It has 

been the most fun I have had all 

year. I will always remember to 

never do drugs until I’m old 

enough to handle them. I will always 

try being the best friend and 

I won’t pressure my friends to do 

what they don’t want to do. 

I, Kassidy Sawvell, pledge to 

stay drug free and make healthy 

choices. I will try to avoid negative 

peer pressure and put an end to 

bullying.

This is the last column of the 

2012-13 school year and we have 

had an eventful year with many 

ups and downs. 

I want to extend congratulations, 

good luck, and Godspeed to 

three long time educators. Lola 

Kleinschmit, Stuart Kitterman, 

and Mary Ellen Grayot are retiring 

after decades of service to the 

students in the Wall School District. 

These three outstanding teachers 

will be missed by the students 

and staff. 

With these retirements come 

changes to the staff at the school. 

The following changes have been 

made for the next school year: Mrs. 

Marlie Trask will move to Kindergarten; 

Ms. Kelly Frentz will move 

to first grade; Mrs. Rachel Mc- 

Conaghy will move to fourth 

grade; 

Mrs. Karol Patterson will move to 

fifth grade; Mrs. Ashley Kier will 

teach fifth-eighth math and geometry; 

Mrs. Jeanine Sykora will 

move to Title and elementary 

music; Mr. Shawn Cutler will 

teach fifth science and high school 

science; Mrs. Mary Roeder was 

hired as 9-12 English teacher and 

Mrs. Lorayna Papousek was hired 

as the teacher for Big White. 

As indicated there is a lot of 

movement and change which will 

bring some growing pains. 

We do have a few assistant 

coaching positions to fill, but for 

the most part we are staffed for 

the next school year. 

The other big change for the 

next school year deals with security. 

We will have another set of 

doors installed at the end of the 

foyer area at the east entrance of 

the school. 

Students and staff will be the 

only people allowed past this area 

without a pass. 

We will lock all outside doors 

during the day. 

The east and southwest entrances 

will have a camera, intercom, 

and buzzer system to allow 

visitors in the building once they 

are indentified. 

The outside doors will be unlocked 

at the beginning and end of 

the school day to allow for students 

entering or leaving. 

We will also replace the glass in 

our entrances with a laminated 

safety glass. 

All these changes are made for 

the safety of our students. 

Parents will not be allowed in 

the hallways to pick up their children 

or go to the classroom without 

a pass. 

All children will be dropped off 

and picked up in the east foyer. We 

will all need to make adjustments 

and iron out the details to make 

the system work. 

We will be graduating 22 seniors 

on Saturday at 1:30 in the gym. 

The rest of the students have 

their last day of school on Thursday, 

May 23 with dismissal after 

lunch for the elementary and 

sometime after 11:00 a.m. for middle 

and high school students. 

The high school students will 

have semester exams on Wednesday 

and Thursday, the 22nd and 

23rd. 

As we move into the summer 

season remember to make responsible 

decisions, be safe, and enjoy 

your summer. 

Please check around the house 

for any library books, textbooks, 

power cords for computers etc. this 

week. We always have power cords 

and books come up missing. 

All bills will also need to be 

taken care of before the end of the 

school year.
