$1.00 (tax included) Number 9 Volume 108 February 28, 2013 By Governor Dennis Daugaard Many states tax the sales of goods. A few also tax services. South Dakota has a broad-based, four percent sales tax on nearly all goods and services. Because past legislators and governors have maintained the broadness of the tax, it is a steady, reliable source of revenue, even in times of economic distress. Broadening this tax base helped Gov. Janklow cut property taxes 30 percent. Taxing the sales of a broad array of goods and services also helps our state avoid an in- come tax. However, an ever-present temp- tation exists to ask for exceptions. Interest groups come to Pierre each year to argue for a tax exemp- tion on their particular goods or services. They are supported by their lobbyists and members. These exemptions do not have policy goals, other than relieving a particular group from paying sales tax. They are not designed to at- tract new economic activity or help create jobs. Some interest groups have bet- ter arguments than others, but one fact is always true: Each time an exemption is created, it benefits a narrow group at the expense of all other South Dakota taxpayers. Even if some exemptions are small, the principle of a broad- based tax is violated. Each time an exemption is carved out, there is less revenue for priorities like education, healthcare, or economic develop- ment. Eroding our broad tax base For each exemption, we send a message to the next interest group that they also should try to avoid paying sales tax. I vetoed legislation last year that would have exempted the sales tax on hay for livestock bed- ding. Several exemptions have been proposed this year, including cer- tain coaching services, some rodeo admissions, and sales of used truck tires. Certainly these are very small exemptions, proposed by groups for whom I have empa- thy. Still, I must oppose the erosion of our broad sales tax base through repeated, minor exemptions that ignore our overarching policy goals. I truly believe that we should strive for more TAXPAYERS, not more TAXES or higher rates. Spreading the burden among many makes each one's burden lighter. We should not continue to chip away at our steady, broad tax base. It’s easy to agree with each group and make an exception "just this once." But we must be vigi- lant against it. Voters, taxpayers and the pub- lic in general don’t have an associ- ation, interest group, or lobbyists. As your Governor, I believe it’s my responsibility to speak for the people. It’s my job to work on be- half of the unorganized many against the interests of the organ- ized few. Let's keep our tax rates low by asking everyone to share in the re- sponsibility to pay. by Laurie Hindman Wall City Council held a special meeting at the Wall Community Center meeting room on Tuesday, The Washington Nationals’ presidential mascots stopped for a visit at the Wall Drug Store on Tuesday, February 19.

What drives someone to clock in and out doing the same tasks day in and day out for a career? If you ask New Underwood’s First Inter- state bank’s vice president and branch manager, Larry Graham, it’s all about the people. “I am going to miss the people the most,” stated Graham during his morning banking routine. “That’s been the neatest part about working my career in rural banks. The people are very down- to-earth people. They simply are just good people.” Graham began his career in the banking industry in Chugwater, Wyo. “I started there in 1969. We went through a name change and when I left Chugwater, it was First National Bank of Chugwater.” Growing up south of Winner, Graham enjoyed the rural atmos- phere. “I then worked in the Wall First Western Bank beginning in 1976 and was employed there just shy of 12 years as vice president and cashier,” explained Graham. “I never was interested in the titles,” stated Graham. “I told them they could call me the janitor if they wanted as long as they left the cash on the table,” joked Graham. In 1988, the New Underwood First Western Bank, now known as the First Interstate Bank, wel- comed Graham on board as vice president and bank manager and the community benefitted from Graham’s involvement of many of the community’s active groups like the New Underwood Lion’s Club and New Underwood Economic Development Committee. “The 37 years comes in with the First Western Bank and First Interstate Bank name change,” explained Graham. Through the years, Graham has seen incredible changes. “When I started, they almost had the stone tablets,” commented Graham jok- ingly. “The biggest change of course has been the automation and technology. Technology, tech- nology, technology. Just think back to how it has changed. In Chugwa- ter, we had financial calculator machines that took up a large part of the desk,” stated Graham. “Now we have hand-held things. The technology has been amazing.” Through the years, it is only natural to have a few things that push your proverbial buttons. “Lately what has been grinding my teeth is the changes in all of the banking regulations,” complained Graham. “They change them to try and benefit the people when all they do is really make it worse for the people. The toughest area right now for the rural banking industry is housing loans. South Dakota Bankers Association did a survey recently, and almost every rural state bank does not do home loans. The penalties and regulations make it very difficult if the bank messes something up,” stated Gra- ham. Retirement from a 37-year ca- reer does not mean slowing down. “Next up for me is helping my brother-in-law calve calves,” chuckled Graham. “I’ve been fixing fence on the weekends and we need to move cows. There is hay to move. I consider myself just day- labor now.” This coming Monday, duties will be shoved around the First Inter- state Bank in New Underwood as longtime employee Brett Hanson will step up to the plate to fill the shoes of the exited Graham. “Everyone will be picking up extra duties here,” said Graham. Hanson talked about his col- league’s retirement. “This coming May, Larry and I would have worked together for 20 years,” stated Hanson. “And I can tell you that he is truly one of the best peo- ple I have ever worked for. I ar- rived at the First Western Bank here in New Underwood in 1993.” Hanson talked about the change. “Laurel Venhuizen will be- come an officer. She and I will be splitting the duties that Larry ac- complished. She will take on some of the tasks that I did and we will split what Larry did,” explained Hanson. Graham was honored with two open houses and First Interstate Bank threw their employee a pri- vate party to commemorate the oc- casion.

The U.S. Forest Service has re-leased and is seeking public com-ment on the proposed 2012 Plan-ning Rule Directives, the key set ofagency guidance documents thatwill direct implementation of the2012 Planning Rule. The announcement will be fol-lowed by the publication of a noticein the Federal Register of theavailability of the proposed direc-tives for public review and com-ment. The Federal Register notice willbegin the official 60 day commentperiod. The proposed directives will helpthe Forest Service achieve the vi-sion articulated in the 2012 Plan-ning Rule – to develop, revise andamend land management plansthat protect and restore NationalForests and Grasslands for thebenefit of communities, natural re-sources and the environment. The Agency’s intent is to ensurean adaptive land managementplanning process that is inclusive,efficient, collaborative and science-based to promote healthy, re-silient, diverse and productive na-tional forests and grasslands. The 2012 Planning Rule was de-veloped after more than two and ahalf years of public input, includ-ing more than 300,000 public com-ments. In proposing these directivesand publishing them for publiccomment, the Agency intends tobuild on this participatory andopen process. Feedback from thepublic is sought and encouragedduring the 60-day comment period. A Federal Advisory Committee

The Central States Fair ispleased to announce Justin Moorewill perform Sunday, August 18,as part of the 2013 Central StatesFair Black Hills Power Concert Se-ries. Moore has been steadily climb-ing the country charts with suchhits as "Til My Last Day," "IfHeaven Wasn't So Far Away" and"Backwoods." “We plan on offering a combina-tion of country and rock and roll tothis years' Central States Fair,"said Ron Jeffries, CSF generalmanager.

The Senate has labored through22 bills on the floor. Most of theminvolved some level of funding andwill go back to the Joint Appropri-ations Committee for actualamounts that fit into the 2014budget. Several bills were related to pro-viding college scholarships and SB191 provided for increases to thestate aid formula. All of them will be factored intoactual dollar amounts during thenext couple of weeks. During the next week, the Bu-reau of Finance and Management,the Legislative Research Counciland the Appropriations Committeewill all complete their budgets. A final budget will be built usinginformation from all three and itwill be presented as one of thefinal bills to the House and Senate. Intense discussions about anyunallocated funds are in full mo-tion. I continue to lobby for morefunding for education and healthissues. However, there is considerableconcern about the lack of spendingrestraint at the federal level andthe potential for stalemate in theupcoming Congressional deadlines

relating to sequestration, increas-ing the debt limit and matchingtax increases with spending cuts. As a result, there is some energybehind increasing reserves ratherthan providing one-time money forvarious needs. Medicaid continues to be thesubject of many emails. The Senate Health Committeeheld a joint hearing to obtain bothpro and con statements about SDexpanding Medicaid coverage to48,000 more people. As you might imagine, the roomwas packed with standing roomonly. The vast majority were askingfor the state to accept federalmoney and cover the 48,000 peo-ple. However, in my opinion, theGovernor and legislative leader-ship continue to mistrust federalpromises and it is unlikely S.D.,will be going that direction. Please continue to contact mewith your comments and ques-tions. My e-mail in Pierre is [email protected] and my cell-phone is 605-390-2165

Public Service Announcement ... By Trooper Slade Ross, South Dakota Highway Patrol

Sometimes the spring storms can be very dangerous. The weathercan change abruptly to very harsh conditions. If you are planning totravel please make sure you are aware of the weather forecasts. Ifyou must be on the road, make sure that your vehicle is equippedproperly and you have the necessary supplies in case you arestranded.

By Linda M. Hiltner One hundred years ago (1913)

was the main theme at the Febru-ary Wall Writers Group meeting.We wrote on what we might haveseen along the way and themethod of travel used to get to ameeting then: horse, buggy orsleigh, which depended on theamount of snow on the ground. Another topic was: since the firstprizes were put in Cracker Jacksabout 1912, we wrote about whatwe could find in the boxes 100years ago. The last topic was on whatsomeone in 1913 would have saidabout a $7 cup of coffee.

To continue theme, the topicsfor the March meeting are:

(a) Write about an aspect of lifein the United States or anothercountry in 1913 (as life was 100years ago). Or,

(b) Write about any topic as it re-

March meeting of Wall Writers Grouplates to life in Western SouthDakota or wherever your ancestorslived or homesteaded in 1913.This would be more about theplace your ancestors lived. Or,

(c) Write a story about your fam-ily, your ancestors, as life was likefor them in 1913. This story can bebased on family history or a fic-tional story about what their lifemight have been like. For in-stance, your grandparents mayhave been newly weds or an olderuncle or aunt could have been ayoung child then.

(d) As always, the last topic se-lection is Writers Choice.

Our next scheduled meeting isSaturday, March 9. The WritersGroup meets at 416 Sixth Avenuein Wall, from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. If you have any questions aboutthe Wall Writers Group, pleasecontact Linda (605-786-6937) orDave (279-2952).

As we head into the final twoweeks of the South Dakota Leg-islative session, the pace of ad-dressing bills has become fast andhectic. As such, I question some ofthe decisions and thoughts beingmade on bills that appear to be fly-ing through the process. The South Dakota House of Rep-resentatives passed House Bill1214, which will allow the expan-sion of Medicaid to cover prenatalcare of people who are in theUnited States illegally. This bill passed RepresentativeVerchio’s committee, the HouseState Affairs Committee, on aunanimous vote. When the fullHouse passed this Bill to spendyour money on illegal aliens, Rep-resentative Verchio and I voted to-gether to try to kill the Bill. HB1214 now will be considered by theSenate. I am also very concerned aboutthe efforts of the bi-partisan com-mittee considering adding 48,000able-bodied South Dakotans to theMedicaid system. Although there is no pendinglegislation, there are rumors thatanother bill will be stripped in thelast days of the Legislature to addthe “able-bodied South Dakotans”provisions, thereby growing theSouth Dakota Medicaid programto cover over 150,000 people, ormore than 10 percent of all South

Dakotans. Similar decision-mak-ing has left many states, includingIllinois and California, nearlybankrupt. As the only Republican Legisla-tor to vote two years ago againstthe Governor’s Referred Law 14,which was defeated by the votersin November, I am also concernedabout the secret meetings that arebeing conducted to revive and re-tool Referred Law 14. I am con-cerned about this process becausethe public and the press have nothad any opportunity to evaluateand participate in conversationsbeing held in order to understandthe decision-making process,which may only be divulged in thelast few days of the LegislativeSession. Decisions made when thefull Legislative Committee processis averted with last minute propos-als that deny the public and thepress meaningful input normally,results in poor legislation. My goal the last two weeks ofthe Legislative Session is to pro-tect your pocketbook. I will do all Ican and will report on the out-comes over the next couple ofweeks. I look forward to hearing yourthoughts and feedback as we enterthis final stretch. Please e-mail me at [email protected] or call the HouseFloor at 773-3851.

Members of the South DakotaFarm Bureau (SDFB) visited theRonald McDonald House in SiouxFalls, bringing $1,500 worth ofgroceries to stock the kitchen andkicking off the weekly delivery offresh milk for the kitchens at boththe Sanford and Avera McKennancampus Ronald McDonald Houses.

“Every year during Food Check-Out Week, South Dakota FarmBureau is pleased to make a dona-tion to the Ronald McDonaldHouse, and this year we’re proudto have the most County Farm Bu-reaus participating and largest do-nation amount to date,” said CindyFoster, Chair of the SDFBWomen’s Leadership Team, afarmer from Fulton, S.D. “It’swonderful that 24 of our county or-ganizations donated enough to de-liver all of this food, and that FarmBureau will be able to sponsor theweekly delivery of fresh milk toboth Ronald McDonald Houses inSioux Falls this year.”

In celebration of Farm Bureau’sannual “Food Check-Out Week”which recognizes the safe, abun-dant and affordable food providedby America’s farmers and ranch-

By Libbi Sykora “But Mom, the library is SO

This gives your child a place toplay on the computers, do researchfor homework on our databases, orwatch juvenile YouTube videos. No worries, though. We do limitindividual time in order to makethe computers available for others.

You want your kid to start read-ing more? Some teachers in ourarea have recommended that par-ents buy an eReader for their chil-dren who are rigid about reading.

Breaking standards: “Bridging the Generation Gap”

We carry some of the newest ti-tles on the market, as well as someold favorites. Another great thing:there are no late fees! When thebook is due, the book simply ex-pires.

FOCUS ON THE FAMILYwith Dr. JamesDobson

Dr. Dobson Answersyour Questions

QuESTIoN: My husband and Iare newly married. My in-lawshave a habit of dropping by unex-pectedly, even though we've askedthem to call first. Is there a way tolet them know that we need ourspace and privacy without offend-ing them? ANSwER: In-law relations arenotoriously sensitive and difficultto manage. Because we're talkinghere about your husband's par-ents, it stands to reason that heshould be the one to initiate the di-alogue that clearly needs to takeplace. That's assuming, of course,that the two of you are on the samepage. If this is not the case, then thereare marital issues you'll need toaddress before tackling the in-lawproblem. Genesis 2:24 says that "aman shall leave his mother and fa-ther and cleave to his wife." Jesusrepeats this command in Matthew19:4-6 and Mark 10:6-8. In thiscontext, the word "cleave" refers tothe establishment of a "one-flesh"union between husband and wife.It implies that when a couple mar-ries, they are given the task offounding a new family unit, dis-tinct and separate from their fam-ilies of origin. They are further re-quired to grant this new familyunit precedence over the old. Ifthey cannot do this, their marriagewill not be successful. You andyour husband need to decide to-gether that you're going to givepriority to the building andstrengthening this new relation-ship. Once you're clear about this,you can proceed to explain your po-sition to your in-laws. Hopefully this can be accom-plished by means of a good-na-tured, non-defensive family discus-sion. We'd suggest that your hus-band start the conversation bytelling his mom and dad how much

you love them and appreciate theirinterest and involvement in yourlives. But he should go on to ex-plain that as newlyweds you'retrying to establish a new life to-gether, and that this requires acertain amount of privacy. Letthem know that they are alwayswelcome to come by, but reiteratethe point that you would prefer itif they would let you know aheadof time. If they react defensively or inanger, there are probably somedeeper boundary issues below thesurface that may not be so easy toaddress. If that's the case, or ifthey continue to drop by unan-nounced even after you've madeyour wishes known, you may wantto consider the option of moving tothe other side of town or someother less accessible location.

Posted By Pastor Cornelius R. StamStrange, is it not, that when men are successful, they

generally credit themselves liberally for their successbut when things go wrong they begin to blame others— even God.

The writer does not have up-to-date informationabout two particular plots of ground in Moscow, butsome years ago one of these was a beautiful garden,the other a patch of weeds. Above each there was asign. Over the one: “This plot is cared for by the UnitedSoviet Socialist Republic,” over the other: “This plot iscared for by God”!

Evidently the atheistic Soviets who hatched this“bright idea” did not stop to think that only God couldproduce the beautiful flowers in the USSR plot. All theirwatering and cultivating would have been in vain ex-cept for the God they deny.

As to the other plot, they probably did not even knowthat even in Eden God put the garden in man’s charge“to dress it and to keep it” (Gen. 2:15), and later, whenman sinned, God said to Adam, “Cursed is the groundfor thy sake” (Gen. 3:17). This is why the Soviets mustemploy a gardener to control the weeds in even theirgarden! How wrong and foolish, then, for man ever toblame God for anything that goes wrong for him orcauses him trouble!

Actually, when I have been asked: “If God is a Godof love, why does He allow all this trouble and misery,and all this wickedness?” I have replied: “That’s easy.When God sent His Son into this world offering peaceand righteousness and prosperity they cried: ‘Awaywith Him’ and nailed Him to a cross. If the Bible is true,and in this case it has surely proved to be true, howcan this world expect peace while they still reject thePrince of Peace?”

The Looking Glass of Time 80 years ago…

The Wall Hot Shots faced theNew Underwood Red Devils intheir first appearance in the Amer-ican Legion Gold Medal Tourna-ment. Wall took an early lead andthey led through the entire game.At the quarter, Wall had a 6 to 2lead but in the second quarter,New Underwood rallied for twobaskets and nearly tied up thegame but Wall finally hit a scoringstride and gradually pulled awayfrom the Underwood quintette. Byhalf-time Wall had a 12 to 8 lead.In the second half the Wall defen-sive strengthened and limited Un-derwood to one field goal the wholesecond stanza of the game. Wallwon the game by a 28 to 12 count.The game was marred by the de-cidedly unsportsmanlike attitudeof some members of the Under-wood team. Wall won the WestRiver title during the Independenttournament by defeating theSchool of Mines Frosh team, theVirginia Cafe team of Rapid City,and the Castle Hamburger team ofRapid City for the championshiptitle.

BIRTH: A son, Herbert Neil,was born to Mr. and Mrs. HerbertKrampe early in the morning, Feb-ruary 27.

The New Underwood basketballteam, the conference champions,came through with flying colors tothe final game of District 30 tour-nament, to win over Wall 36 to 10.The first quarter indicated thatthe game would be a good battle,with the Wall boys making sixpoints against three for Under-wood. The next quarter, the Wallboys were held scoreless and thetournament winners started ontheir road to victory, making bas-kets almost at will. Wall madethree points in the third periodand one in the last quarter. BIRTH: Born to Mr. and Mrs.Leo C. Foster, a daughter. The post office inspector for thisdistrict was in Wall, Saturday,going over the two routes with theidea of consolidating route one andtwo. While out on the trip, he ranout of gas and did not get in fromthe trip until about midnight. An 11-year-old homesick lad,casting around for a quick way toreturn to his home in Philip, de-cided to drive and, Sheriff GeorgeLendecker said, took the nearestthing at hand — a truck owned byGeorge Mills. He started out al-right, but near Wasta the truckstarted sputtering and thenstopped. It was out of gas. Therehe was picked up by Deputy Sher-iff John II Sieh, and Thursdaymorning was returned to RapidCity and lodged in jail pending adisposition of his case, SheriffLendecker said.

The bigproblem yet to be resolved is the lo-cation of the Pool. Several loca-tions have been suggested, withthe one near the athletic field innorth Wall seeming most likely tobe chosen. A decision will probablybe reached at the regular meetingof the Council, Monday evening. After a good start in the DistrictTournament the past weekend bywinning from the home team ofPhilip, the Eagles dropped a one-pointer to Belvidere, and the run-ner-up game to Interior, 61-47. Inthe opening Wall-Philip game, theEagles never gave up their leadthroughout the game although theScotties were able to tie the scorea couple of times. Although thescore was close the game itself wasnot too interesting because of closerefereeing. Wall made 22 of their43 points from the free throw lane.The final tally was 43-39. In theEagles second game, Friday night,Belvidere sank a long shot in theclosing seconds of the game to givethem their one-point margin of vic-tory.

10 years ago… It is true that the people make achurch, not the building. But,sometimes that special structurecan help draw people in to worship… a special place like the QuinnCommunity Church. The churchhad been sitting quietly for years,with only an occasional anniver-sary celebration or wedding and anannual Memorial Day service toopen its doors. Now, sounds ofpraise in the form of song and ser-mon echo through the churchevery Saturday at 6:00 p.m. Themain purpose of the church is notnecessarily establishing a denomi-nation, it is just an opportunity tohear the gospel. The Region 4B wrestling tourna-

ment in Ft. Pierre was, without adoubt, the best and worst tourna-ment we’ve had all year. The firstround saw only three of 13wrestlers winning a match. But,from then on we looked like thetrue competitors that we are, onlylosing six matches. When all wassaid and done Wall/Kadoka fin-ished in fourth place and had fivestate qualifiers Seniors CurtisHuffman (3rd place) and TyrelCarson (1st place), Juniors JoeWilson (3rd place) and Zane Hoff-man (3rd place) and SophomoreBrady Huether (3rd place).

James Bryan Conant said, "Be-hold the turtle; he makes progressonly when he sticks his neck out!"There is so much truth to thisstatement. It takes some major mo-tivation to take a risk. Speaking of motivation, thereare three major types of motiva-tion: Fear, Incentive and Attitude.Most of us are aware of fear and in-centive motivations. Today I wantto introduce you to attitude motiva-tion. This is where we have theright kind of attitude to get thingsdone. I am reminded of the story of alittle boy and his turtle. Everydaya little boy, named Johnny, wouldrun home and take his turtle out ofthe cage to play with him. One dayit was different when he picked upthe turtle to play. The little turtledidn't stick his head out of hisshell; no little turtle legs, no littleturtle tail. Nothing. Heart broken, Johnny was cryinghis little eyes out when his daddycame home from work that day. Inan attempt to help his young sonfeel better about the situation, thefather suggested they have a turtlefuneral. The little boy thought thiswas most appropriate and the twoset to work making the most beau-tiful turtle casket you ever saw outof an old hat box found in Mom'scloset, decorated with some blackand gold spray paint and ribbons. Dad proposed to Johnny that forthis to be an "official" turtle funeralthey should invite Uncle Joe andAunt Bess and all of his friendsfrom school. Johnny ran aroundthe neighborhood calling, "Come tothe turtle funeral! Come to the tur-tle funeral!"

Friends from school and churchgathered in Johnny's room, asMom played an organ processionalin the background. Dad reachedinto the cage and pulled the littleturtle out of his cage, and they nextthing you know, the little turtle'shead, tail, and feet pop out of theshell. Everyone was in shock andawe, especially Johnny, whohollered out, "Let's kill him,Daddy!" Now, we aren't into hurting littleturtles, but there is a moral here:Attitudes can be changed-some-times quite dramatically, as in thisstory. Did you notice how the dadwas able to motivate his son, not byusing fear or incentives, but bychanging the boy's attitude? Whatgood news! We, too, can shift atti-tudes in ourselves and in others.So, the next time you're faced witha need to motivate someone, re-member this little turtle story.

Philip Areahad completed their last matchwith Canton having one more.Wagner was done wrestling andwould stay at 111.5.

Ridge Sandal and Thomas Van Osdolwere present to discuss their entrepre-neurship class project. Their class isteaching them about how to set up andrun a business. They would like to placecandy machines in the school for theirbusiness. Through this project they willbe able to manage inventory, analyzesales, calculate profits/losses on individ-ual products, etc. The board questionedwhether there was a healthier option. Itwas determined that the students woulddo more research into their options andthe topic would be tabled until next meet-ing.

Mr. Poste, our technology coordinator,presented different methods of technol-ogy that may work at Big White to helpteach middle school subjects if the schoolcontinues to be K-8. After discussion on

each method, Poste recommended aPolycom unit from the State. Ms.Pittman, one of our science teachers, ex-plained her opinion of how well Black-board Learn could work for the studentsat Big White. Shaun McKay, Lynn McKay,and Jeff Gabriel all voiced their support ofthe technology if it keeps Big White a K-8school. The Board will make a decisionat the March meeting whether or not toaccept Superintendent Rieckman’s rec-ommendation of Big White going to a K-5school.

Next, Nathaniel Traveny, a personaltrainer, presented a proposal to use thePower House facility for his business.Each of his clients would have to be amember of the Power House and theschool would earn 10% commission fromhis revenue. After discussion it was de-termined that more discussion wasneeded in executive session.

Elementary Principal Sykora updated theboard on the happenings in the elemen-tary. He noted that kindergarten screen-ing will be held on April 5th. If anyone hasa child who will be 5 years old on or be-fore September 1st, they are urged to callthe school and provide names and ad-dresses to that we can send them infor-mation. Sykora thanked all the volun-teers who helped with the wrestling tour-nament and gymnastics meet that wereheld here on February 9th. Both eventswent very well. Parent-teacher confer-ences were held on February 6th and 7th.The elementary had 97% off the parentsattend conferences. Big White will behaving conferences at a later date due toMrs. Kier being on leave.

Business Manager Mohr announced thatschool board petitions may be picked upin the business office at the school start-ing March 1st.

Rieckman handed out items for the board

to review over the next month. Theseitems included track rules, golf rules, trackschedule, and capital outlay purchaseprojections. Next, Rieckman discussedthe safety of the bleachers in the PowerHouse. He feels the bleachers are notvery safe and the board should thinkabout replacing them if activities aregoing to be held in that gym. Handicapdoor access was also discussed andplans of putting it in on the gym entrance,west high school entrance, and east en-trance. After board discussion Trask rec-ommend that Rieckman move forwardwith the project. The last item which wasdiscussed was our Cross Country pro-gram. Rieckman wants the board to thinkabout what will be done if there are only2 students out for the sport. Will a coach-ing salary be paid? If not, then would theDistrict pay someone to just take the stu-dents to competitions, etc. This topic willbe discussed at a later date.
