Columns Pennington County Courant •December 6, 20182

This week marks the beginningof advent, otherwise known as theseason of light. It is, at first blush,an ironic moniker, in that theseare the darkest days of the year.By the time we enter December, itoften seems the sun barely risesabove the horizon before it lowersback down and the dark returns.

While this can be a bit depress-ing, it also means December is theperfect time for twinkle lights andcandles and gathering aroundhearths with loved ones. It’s atime of festivities, and also hap-pens to be my favorite time ofyear. When I was younger, Iwaited through the high heat ofsummer for the piney scent of nee-dles and sap, the buttery warmthof sugar cookies, and the sweettang of peppermint. Oh, and twin-kle lights, of course, dancingaround frosted window panes andfront gardens.

In a shocking confluence ofevents, we actually have our holi-day decorations up already -- alevel of preparedness that neitherI, nor anyone in my family, hasever achieved before. My kin,though a festive bunch, are notknown for their timeliness, ortheir organizational skills, partic-ularly around the holidays. Unlikethe man of the ranch’s family,who, if they plan to eat theirChristmas meal at noon, eat atnoon, my folks plan their meal to

be midday, and are lucky to be sit-ting down by supper time.

What can I say? We can’t begood at everything.

This year, however, my sistercame to visit, and as I will not seeher at Christmas, we decided toget a little celebrating in while wecould. Thus, the halls are decked,the stockings hung with care, andnow there is a whole month toenjoy them.

Meanwhile, I was inspired lastDecember by reading about an ad-vent calendar full of ‘good deed’prompts instead of chocolates ortrinkets. If we think of the seasonof light as a time to celebrate thelight each of us contains, and anopportunity to practice shiningthat light into the world, what bet-ter way to prepare for the holidaysthan to practice the art of giving,rather than receiving.

I’ve been thinking of just how Iwanted to do this in the yearsince, and I had big plan for anelaborate, handsewn calendar.Never mind I don’t really sew, andthe pile of things that need mend-ing hasn’t been touched since theBean was born; I still thoughtsomehow I could pull it off.

November 30th’s arrival cameas a shock. (Did I mention I mighthave the tiniest trouble with time-liness and organization?) I had achoice: pull an all-nighter tryingto craft something amazing (this

would have been the optionchoosen by my 20 year-old self),give up completely and berate my-self for the rest of advent (thiswould have been my late 20s), OR,scale back my expectations tosomething manageable.

Considering I had less than 24hours, and limited resources,scaled back meant a calendar thatwas just post-it notes clipped on astring. Not very glamorous I know,but, I’ll tell you what, it mighthave been my finest parentinghour. I got the kids to help mepaint some old clothespins red andgreen -- which they loved -- thenwe hung them by the tree with apiece of yarn. I numbered the post-it notes and wrote a prompt on theback of the first. I am filling in therest as we go. So far we’ve beenhaving a blast with the activities,and I am thankful I didn’t drivemyself crazy to make it happen.

In this time of darkness, I hopeyou find opportunities to let yourlight shine as well, Dear Reader.It doesn’t have to be a big or fancyor bright, it can be as tiny as oneof the wee bulbs strung aroundtrees and windows, each barelyenough to break through thenight, because together all thosewee lights make magic, just likethe stars in the heavens above,whispering their diamond dreamsto the velvet blanket of night.

Bad InfluencesI know that I am about to

write might sound implausibleto some. It is implausible to Ol’Handsome, who smirks when Isay this.

After preg checking this fall,we have a handful of cows who,for one reason or another, didnot breed back, and who there-fore have an appointment withthe sale barn. These cows loiteraround the corrals, awaitingtheir departure date. The blackmilk cow, Pegasus, the only onewe kept fresh after the calveswere pulled, stays with thesesame cows.

In general, milk cows are wellbarn-broke and cake broke—shake a bucket, open the barndoor, and they come trotting in,nearly knocking you over to getto the cake in the feed pan. Thiswas true of Pegasus, prior to hernew roommates.

Now, before you think I amcrazy, it is a known fact thatpairing milk cows helps them dobetter. Milk cows often getpicked on by the range cows,particularly if the milk cow hasa distinctly different color orcolor patterning than the rangecows. When we have a cow milk-ing, we generally keep her closerto the house than the rangecows, just for convenience’ssake, and we have found thatone milk cow does better if shehas another milk cow with her,whether that cow is also fresh ornot. Helps to ward off loneli-ness, somehow.

I have noticed over the yearsthat different cows, with theirdifferent personalities, have dif-ferent chemistry between them.This is true now with Pegasus

and one of the cows who is pro-jected to leave the place, 404.

There was nothing about 404that made her stand out to mebefore. A home raised heifer, shehas served as a good young cowheretofore. Now that she hascrossed the line from young cowto a good running age cow,though, and since she was gatecut into the opens pen after pregchecking, I have learned a wholelot more about her.

She is a high-headed, snob-bish cow, who seems to be look-ing for a fight. She reminds meof people who always find somereason to complain, and wholook at the world as though justexpecting someone to offendthem. She has a bad attitude, Isuppose you could say.

For some reason, Pegasus,who can be a high-headed cowherself, and has been known tohave a bad attitude herself,when not kept under control,made fast friends with 404. In-stead of coming into the barnwhen she is supposed to, Pega-sus, if in the same corral as 404,will throw her head high, imitat-ing 404, who does the samething the minute she sees meopen the gate. Both cows willrun, kicking and bucking, likethey are two-month-old calves inthe fresh May sunshine, insteadof cows who should be re-spectable and productive mem-bers of society.

I have discovered that mybest strategy is to keep Pegasuswholly separated from 404. Thismight mean putting her withthe horses, which is not a baddeal, except the horses also liketo stick their heads in the cakebucket when I got out to call in

the cow, or turn Pegasus out en-tirely, which works well, thoughit means more time spent walk-ing out to get her for milking.

If Pegasus and 404 are, forsome reason, in the same corral,though, it is a guarantee that Iwill spend an extra half hourchasing them around to getthem separated, just so Pegasuscan calm down and come intothe barn. Sometimes as I go onthis merry [for the cows] chase,Child D will be waiting in thebarn, petting the kitties whocome running when they see mestep out of the house with themilk bucket. Other times, it isChild E, safely ensconced in thestroller, so his newly-toddlinglegs don’t carry him out into thecorral and into the way of a gal-livanting cow, who yells an en-couraging “Mam!” to me as Icome, red-faced and panting,past the stroller in my passes toseparate the bovine delinquents.

I realize as I write this thatmany of you are shaking yourheads like Ol’ Handsome, or likemy younger brother when I usedto insist that the reason somelambs made it and others didnot was directly related to howwell they had emotionallybonded with the ewe.

There are others, though, whohave noticed the same thing,and know that animals, withtheir distinct personalities, mixand feed off of each other, forbetter or for worse. Ask anyschoolteacher who also raiseslivestock—there are grand sim-ilarities between a pasture ofcows and a classroom of kids.

Ask Rusty: Financial Advi-sor Spoke of Extra Spouse

BenefitDear Rusty: I have applied for

and been approved to start collect-ing my Social Security this month(at age 66). My wife will turn 62in March 2019 and is planning toapply for benefits then. In a groupmeeting with a financial advisorhe mentioned a spousal benefit of$500/month in addition to herown monthly benefit. Can you en-lighten me on the proper name forthis benefit and how do I apply forit? Signed: Wanting to Know

Dear Wanting: I can onlyspeculate on what the financialadvisor in that group meeting wasreferring to, but it may have beenone of the following:

When she is 62 your wife canclaim her own Social Securityand, if her benefit on her ownwork record is considerably lessthan yours, she may also be enti-tled to a “spousal benefit.” If shewere to claim Social Security ather full retirement age herspousal benefit would be 50% ofyour benefit amount. But if shetakes it at age 62, it will be some-

thing less – about 34% of yours. Ifshe is entitled to the spousal ben-efit, she gets that larger amountas her full Social Security benefit.The spousal benefit is an amountwhich is added to your wife’s ownbenefit to bring her up to whatshe’s due as your spouse. In thissense, it is extra benefit on top ofyour wife’s benefit, but only up tothe total amount she’s entitled toas your spouse. Your wife doesn’tneed to apply separately to re-ceive the spousal benefit because,if you are already collecting bene-fits when she files at age 62, shewill be automatically deemed tobe filing for any spousal benefitshe is due from your record.

If at the time of your groupmeeting with the financial advisoryou had not yet claimed your So-cial Security, he may have beenreferring to something called a“restricted application for spousalbenefits only.” You qualify for therestricted application (RA) be-cause you were born before theJanuary 1, 1954 cut-off date afterwhich it was eliminated. If yourwife claims her own Social Secu-rity first, you can file the “re-stricted application for spousalbenefits only” and collect 50% of

your wife’s full retirement age(FRA) benefit amount while al-lowing your own Social Securitybenefit to grow. That growthwould be 8% per year of delay(0.667% per month), and at age 70your benefit would be 32% morethan it is at age 66. But there’s acatch - you can only do this if youhave not yet claimed your ownbenefits. Thus, the only way theRA could work for you now wouldbe for you to withdraw your cur-rent benefit application, waituntil your wife files at age 62, andthen file the “restricted applica-tion for spousal benefits only” toget 50% of her FRA amount. If youwithdraw your application nowyou will need to pay back any ben-efits, which have already beenpaid, essentially wiping the slateclean with Social Security, andthis can only be done within oneyear of when you first applied.But doing that will give you anextra spouse benefit while yourown benefit grows. Again, I canonly speculate on what the finan-cial advisor in that group meetingwas referring to, but the aboveseem most probable.

Like Breakfast at Tiffany’sOur appreciation of experiences

and the world around us changeswith time. The way I approach lifediffers now from when I was ateenager or newly-marriedtwenty-something. The world haschanged as well, and that makesfor a double whammy.

I have to admit, I am a grown-up, even though I mostly try mybest not to be. As such, I take no-tice of and appreciate certainthings more than I did when I wasyounger – partly because I’vechanged and partly because theyhadn’t been invented yet. Thereare just some actions and experi-ences you appreciate when you area grown-up as compared to whenyou are perhaps not so much ofone.

A grown-up appreciates a morn-ing kitchen where the sink anddishwasher are empty, the countertops free of pizza pans, fry pans ortake-out boxes and the floor isclear of crumbs and blueberrysmoothie dribbles from the nightbefore.

A not-so-much-of-a-grown-upappreciates late night feedingfrenzies. Making an omelet orcooking pizza (or better yet order-ing one) after all the regulargrown-ups have gone to bed. Fin-ishing it all off with a blueberrysmoothie. Being responsible andputting the dishes in the sink –rinsing them off can certainly waituntil the morning. Going to bedwith a full stomach, now there’ssomething a person can appreci-ate.

Grown-up: Finding the car still

at least half-filled with gas, radiotuned to your favorite station, nofast food wrappers littered on thefloor and your seat in its mostcomfortable position with none ofthe rear view mirrors having beenadjusted since you last drove.

Not-so-much-of-a-grown-up:Mom left her keys in the car!

Grown-up: Finding your phonecharger right where you left it – inthe spot where you leave it everyday – with your phone plugged inand charging.

Not-so-much: Dad’s phone is at70 percent. He won’t mind if I bor-row his charger and then deny itlater.

Grown-up: Deriving pleasurefrom making your bed immedi-ately upon arising in the earlyhours of the morning. It bringsorder and tranquility to your lifeand day. You pull the top sheettaunt and tight so it will besmooth and sleek when you slipunder come bedtime at 10:00 pm.

Not-so-much: Make the bed?I’m only going to mess it up later.And a top sheet gets in the way. Ileave mine crumpled in a heap onthe floor at the foot of my bed. AllI need is a comforter and a coupleof pillows to collapse onto when Icome to bed in the wee hours ofthe morning after I’ve eaten anomelet and half a pepperoni pizza.

Grown-up: Clutter free livingbrings joy. As does cleaning upafter my messes in a timely man-ner, before they even think of be-coming clutter.

Not-so-much: Why throw awayaluminum cans one at a time? It’sa waste of valuable energy. I let

them build up, on my bedroomfloor until I can’t find a safe path-way to my bed. Then I get rid ofthem all at once. It’s much moreefficient that way.

Grown-up: A responsible personcreates a voice mail recording, lis-tens to voice mail, leaves voicemail and even answers voice mail.

Not-so-much: Who’s got time forvoice mail?

Grown-up: I have to go to thebank.

Not-so-much: Who needs thebank? I’ve got my phone.

Grown-up: The mail is here!Not-so-much: Who needs mail?

I’ve got my phone.Grown-up: Let’s all play a board

game!Not-so-much: Who needs bored

games? I’ve got my phone.Grown-up: I wash, dry and fold

a load of laundry – all on the sameday.

Not-so-much: Who needs cleanclothes? I’ve got my phone.

Grown-up: Brought to joy by aphone with 100 percent charge.

Not-so-much: Brought to joy bya phone with 100 percent charge.

Okay, so perhaps we can agreeon at least one thing. And like thatsong about Breakfast at Tiffany’s,maybe it’s one thing we’ve got.

I’ll take it. Because despite dif-ferences in behavior between meand the not-so-much grown-ups inmy life I sort of love them. I reallylove them. And differences can beinteresting. At the very leastthey’re not boring.

Maybe I should check into thatbanking from my phone thingafter all.

Tax Reform Continues toBenefit American

Families and BusinessesOne Year Later

Since the Tax Cuts and Jobs Actwas signed into law almost oneyear ago, more than 2 million jobshave been created, unemploymentis at the lowest level since 1969,incomes continue to rise and oureconomy is strong. It has led tomore jobs, bigger paychecks and afairer tax system, especially forlower-and-middle-income Ameri-cans.

The law lowered the tax ratesin every income bracket, allowingall South Dakota families to keepmore of their hard-earned pay-checks. It also doubled the childtax credit to $2,000, doubled thestandard deduction and repealedObamacare’s individual mandatewhich imposed an unfair tax onfamilies making less than $50,000per year. Additionally, the tax lawcreated the first national paidfamily leave program, which offersflexibility for parents to take careof their kids or care for an elderlyparent.

It is also a win for farmers, as itdoubled the exemption rate of thedeath tax to $10.98 million a per-

Progress in TransparencyAs Americans, we are privi-

leged to live in a free societywhere we can elect our own lead-ers. Democracy only works, how-ever, when government istransparent and open about itsoperations, so that the people canvote based on good information.

When I ran for governor eightyears ago, I promised to be openand transparent. It is an easypromise to make as a candidate,but it takes real work to carry outonce in office. Looking back today,I am proud of the progress wehave made.

Shortly after taking office, Ichanged state policies to makemore economic development infor-mation public, including invita-tion lists for the Governor’s Hunt.Governor Rounds had createdopen.sd.gov as a state portal for fi-nancial information, and weadded even more information tothat site.

The following year, the attorneygeneral and I convened an OpenGovernment Task Force to reeval-uate state laws. Governor Roundshad signed legislation creating a“presumption of openness” instate records, and in the yearsthat followed, we found ways toprovide even more information. Iwas pleased to sign several piecesof legislation from that task force.

Of course, open government isabout much more than the law. Ameeting can be open, but if youcan’t get there, or you can’t findout what happened, it isn’t open toyou. A record can be public, but if

you can’t find it, it isn’t open toyou.

Much of my emphasis overthese past years hasn’t been tochange the law – it has been totake meetings and records whichare legally open, and make themopen to the public.

How have we done that? Wehave made open.sd.gov betterthan ever before. We have madeit a central portal for informationabout state government, and wehave linked from it to other stategovernment sites. At the sugges-tion of a newspaper reporter, wecreated rules.sd.gov. For the lasttwenty years, our state legislaturehas had an excellent, easy-to-usewebsite to follow the legislatureand track legislation. There hadbeen no similar system to trackproposed administrative rules,and so we created one.

At my request, we also createda central portal for boards andcommissions. I found, personally,that it was sometimes difficult tofind basic information about stateboards and commissions. Whenare they meeting? Where aretheir minutes? Who is on theboard? So in 2015, we created theboards and commissions portal.This is a central portal for allstate boards and commissions.You can find meeting dates, min-utes, and membership informa-tion. You can also find their boardpackets and financial statements.In 2017, I proposed legislationthat makes use of this online por-tal mandatory for boards and com-missions, under the law. I want to

be sure that, even when I leave of-fice, boards continue to maketheir information accessible.

Another aspect of that portal isinternet streaming of meetings. Iwas very pleased that publicbroadcasting launched SD.net,which works hand-in-hand withthe portal and makes streamedmeetings easy to find. I knowmembers of the media appreciatethe ability to cover these meetingsthrough streaming, and it makesit easier for the public and thepress to listen to these open meet-ings.

Openness isn’t always easy.Sometimes other values come intoplay – privacy of individuals, secu-rity, law enforcement, or govern-ment efficiency are all competingvalues. Sometimes the govern-ment and the news media can dis-agree about how to balance theseinterests. For that reason, I wasparticularly honored earlier thisyear to accept the “Eagle Award”from the South Dakota Newspa-per Association on behalf of themany state employees who haveworked to make these improve-ments.

The work still isn’t done. It willnever be done. Governor Roundsmade important improvementsand I’ve tried to build upon them.I know Governor-elect Noem hasideas for doing even more. AsSouth Dakotans, we can all beproud that we are having theright conversation and heading inthe right direction.

Making Life Better for theAmerican People

I believe the 115th Congress,which began less than two yearsago, just days before PresidentTrump took office, will be definedas one of the most productive Con-gresses in recent history. It’s beenmarked by accomplishment afteraccomplishment, all of which havehelped fulfill my goal of makinglife better for South Dakotans andthe rest of the American people.

While there’s certainly plentyof good news to share from ourwork over the last two years,things looked much different be-fore Republicans took control ofthe House, Senate, and WhiteHouse in 2017. Having that per-spective helps underscore justhow much this Republican-ledWashington delivered in terms ofreal results for people across thecountry.

When President Obama left of-fice, the economy had spentnearly a decade in neutral. Eco-nomic stagnation had not only setin, it became the new normal,leaving some people believing thedays of strong economic growthwere a thing of the past. At thesame time, wages were stagnant,and American families were feel-ing the pinch.

My Republican colleagues andI refused to accept that the UnitedStates – the strongest country theworld has ever known – couldn’tdo better. We knew there wereways we could help create an en-vironment in which the economycould thrive once again, and we

took action.We passed the largest reform of

our nation’s tax code in a genera-tion. As a result, we enactedacross-the-board, top-to-bottomtax relief, affecting nearly everysingle American taxpayer. Andwhen I say tax relief, I meanlarger paychecks and more moneyin the family budget.

Our rewrite of the tax codenearly doubled the standard de-duction (the amount of money tax-payers can remove from theirtaxable income when they filetheir taxes, which means UncleSam takes less of their hard-earned money). For example, withthe new tax law, a married couplethat earns $24,000 per year andfiles jointly would pay zero dollarsin federal tax.

The child tax credit, anothertax benefit enjoyed by many mid-dle-income American families,doubled under the new law. Sinceit’s in the form of a credit, whichis now $2,000 per dependentchild, it directly reduces what ataxpayer owes the governmentwhen they file their taxes. De-pending on what you owe, if youowe anything at all, it could actu-ally result in a tax refund, whichis always a good thing.

Reforming the nation’s taxcode, plus taking additional stepsto help strengthen the economy,has resulted in robust economicgrowth, the lowest unemploymentrate in a half-century, a recordnumber of job openings, and grow-ing wages. The economy is back,and it’s only getting stronger.

Fixing the economy was criti-cal, but we didn’t stop there. Wepassed legislation that stream-lined the VA’s community careprograms to help ensure veteransreceive efficient, timely, and qual-ity care. We passed the Supportfor Patients and Communities Actto address the nationwide opioidepidemic. We repealed Oba-macare’s individual mandate tax.We passed the longest extensionof the State Children’s Health In-surance Program in the program’shistory. And we confirmed morethan 80 federal judges, includingtwo Supreme Court justices.

While Washington will look alittle different in January whenDemocrats take control of theHouse of Representatives, thereare plenty of examples where di-vided governments have achievedbig things: 1986 Reagan tax re-form, 1996 welfare reform, theBalanced Budget Act of 1997,2012 legislation to help workingfamilies by making the Bush taxcuts permanent, and a major re-form of the VA in 2014, to name afew.

When they’re in the majority,House Democrats will have an im-portant question to ask them-selves: Will they look to the futureand work with Republicans so wecan add more accomplishments tothe list I just mentioned, or willthey endlessly stare at the 2016election in the rearview mirror?In order to continue making lifebetter for the American people, Isincerely hope it’s the former.

Equipping the Next Generation

Today, about one in three SouthDakota students have to spendcredit hours, and their hard-earned dollars, on remedialcourses when they first arrive tocollege - just to catch up to wherethey need to be to begin theirhigher education.

A study recently released by thestate Department of Education re-flected the same results andshowed that even in our largestcommunities, only one third of stu-dents are able to fulfill the state’sstandards for college and careerreadiness.

We can do better.There is no underestimating the

influence of a good education. Stu-dents gain confidence and upwardmobility, communities often expe-rience decreased crime rates, andemployers get access to a skilledworkforce, bringing good jobs andhigher wages to the area.

That’s why I’ve created a plan tobetter prepare students for col-

lege, the workforce, and citizen-ship over the next four years,doing so in a way that balancesthe needs of families, teachers andadministrators, and taxpayers.

This starts with doing moregood with every taxpayer dollar.We can do that by expanding cen-tralized and standardized pur-chasing and giving local schoolsmore options to cut costs by takingadvantage of the state’s massivepurchasing power.

We’ll also need to continue fight-ing for the flexibilities we needfrom the federal government tobest serve South Dakota students.Those working closest with ourkids shouldn’t be micromanagedby bureaucrats in Washington,D.C.

Exposing kids to in-demand jobsearlier is critical as well, so I’mcommitted to providing careercounseling and information re-garding these sorts of jobs begin-ning at the middle-school level.My administration will also workto expand experience-driven

learning opportunities before col-lege.

What’s more, I believe the nextgeneration of South Dakotansmust understand the foundationsof our nation, the tremendous sac-rifices made to protect our consti-tutional rights, and the freedoms,liberties, and responsibilities wehave as citizens. I’ll collaboratewith school districts to expandcivics and U.S. history programsand encourage schools to includethe citizenship test as part of theirgraduation criteria.

There’s no better place to growup than South Dakota, and inorder to equip the next generationwith the tools they need to thriveand stay in our state, we muststrengthen the training programsavailable to them and continuallylook for innovative ways to im-prove our education system. Let’smake sure our kids have the edu-cational support necessary to un-leash every ounce of theirGod-given potential.

son and stopped a massive taxhike for farmer co-ops. With farmincome down 50 percent in thepast five years and trade uncer-tainty adversely affecting the ageconomy, these tax changes haveprovided a sliver of relief and cer-tainty.

Over the past year, we’ve seenthe law’s role in improving theeconomy and making a positiveimpact in the lives of Americanfamilies. The U.S. Department ofCommerce recently reported theU.S. Gross Domestic Product(GDP) rose at 3.5 percent in thethird quarter of 2018. Americanfamilies are seeing higher pay-checks and feel more comfortablespending in the current economicenvironment. Consumer spending,which according to the CommerceDepartment accounts for morethan two-thirds of U.S. economicactivity, is up .6 percent lastmonth.

With unemployment at a his-toric low, we now have more jobopenings than job hunters in theUnited States. This gives potentialemployees leverage when lookingfor a job that fits their needs. How-ever, we must also continue to ad-vance workforce development

policies so businesses can fill openjobs with skilled workers. WhenU.S. businesses thrive, they helpto strengthen the entire economy.

We especially want small busi-nesses in South Dakota to succeed.Our small businesses providegood-paying jobs, pay local prop-erty taxes and reinvest into the fu-ture of our state. They help tosupport the communities wherewe live and raise our kids. The taxlaw enhanced small businesses byallowing them to keep more oftheir hard-earned income andreinvest in their companies. As aresult, hundreds of small busi-nesses have announced expansion,pay raises, bonuses and other ben-efits to employees.

Tax reform has delivered resultsfor families across our state andacross the country. It was the firsttime in a generation – sinceRonald Reagan was president –that we enacted sweeping new re-forms to the tax code and providedtax relief to hardworking families.I’m proud of the historic changeswe made to the tax code that arealready helping millions of Ameri-cans, and will continue to benefitour country for years to come

Yep, the biggest game in collegefootball is this weekend. Can’t be?Yes, it is. The Army Blacknights vsthe Navy Midshipmen. When?This Saturday, December 8th, onCBS at 1pm Mountain StandardTime.

This rivalry started in 1890, ayear after South Dakota became astate! Navy leads the rivalry 60-50-7. That’s 119 games. There weresome games not played duringWWI and WWII. Navy had a 14game winning streak from 2002-2015. Army has won the last twoyears. Last year’s game was one ofthe best ever, with Army coming outon top 14-13.

There are four top reasons towatch this game, even if you don’tlike football. Reason #4: Singingsecond. When you earn the right tosing 2nd, that means you won thegame. When the final whistlesounds game over, both teams headover to the losing team’s band andsing the losing team’s alma materfirst. Next they head over to thewinning team’s band and sing thewinning team’s school song. Prettycool!

Reason #3: Pure football. Maybeneither team is ranked nationally,

(although Army is ranked 23rdwith a 9-2 record). It’s pure collegefootball play, all for the love of thegame. It’s purity of competition inits truest form. This game is theirseason; it’s 60 minutes of intensityunlike anything you will see allyear.

Reason #2: The student sections.Every student attends in uniform;over 800 cadets and midshipmenarriving hours before the gamestarts. If the president of theUnited States doesn’t attend, andhe does often, there will be card-board cutouts of the president inthe stands. You’ve seen student sec-tions before, but nothing quite likethis.

Reason #1: The national anthem.Both student choirs come togetherand absolutely knock the nationalanthem out of the park!

No matter who wins the game,it’s a great reminder of just how in-credible it is to be an American. Irecommend highly tuning into thecity of brotherly love this Saturday,December 8th, 1pm MST on CBSand watching “America’s Game!”Go Army! Beat Navy!

This Sunday morning, the 2ndof December is, in Wasta, on “B”Street is 31 degrees. That is on theplus side with just a dusting ofsnow. The talked about storm ei-ther emptied itself of the whitestuff before it got to us or made aturn at exit 90 and shared withsomeone else, north or south.Wasta is beginning to “look a lotlike Christmas” with outdoorlights making the streets look“merry and bright”. Across thestreet Ken and DaneneSkillingstad have shrubs andtrees a light with happy littleglowing creatures in their yard.

Jamy Williams put a hugewreath by the front door whichhelps what Kjerstad front yardlighted tree look less lonely. To thenorth the Grensteiner familypretty much wrapped their frontporch and included some low light-ing street side it just looks so nice.As we have not made our Wasta“tour” as yet we only know of oneplace on “A” street at this timeand that is Billie & Terry Schell’splace.

At the south side of their prop-erty site a 1952 Chevy truck. Yep,a keeper from the ranch! (AskTerry for personal stories/memo-ries). All we will say is, make atrip to Wasta, tour the town &make time for a stop, a smile, andmaybe even a “remember when”.

All this artistic energy and en-deavor inspired the Mister in theWilley family to set to and “get itdone”. A number of years ago heshopped garage sales & thriftshops for the strings of lights withthe old large bulbs & while he no

longer does a sleigh & reindeer inlights, he gets pleasure from thebit of festiveness at our littlehouse.

We will continue to make our“Holiday Decoration Tours of Ap-preciation” around Wasta. We doremember the lighting extrava-ganza of Tub Rath. WOW - hisplace at the north end shed lightto Joel Deering’s place!!! WhenBud and Nita Jeppesen moved toWasta, there began a fine compe-tition! AND, Wasta constructed &placed a huge star a top of Wastahill. It was beautiful & enjoyed forseveral years. Sadly enough, van-dals thought it fun to destroy. Westill remember the beauty! Andthe camaraderie as the whole com-munity was involved in the set up,upkeep, beauty, and appreciation.Though the star is not visible tothe eye our minds and hearts havekept the joy and appreciation. Wedo have that choice in life - re-member the good, the true joy andthose persons who contributed tosame.

Maverick Williams was numberone helper a the Wasta Commu-nity Hall Saturday, the 1st of De-cember. There were many tablesto decorate and several boxes ofdecorations. It all worked well forone busy & useful 5 year old.There are also unplanned areasreceiving his whimsical touchesand all designed to look festive,fun and hopefully welcoming.Thank you, Maverick, for a jobwell done & for being so willing tohelp us.

The Grensteiner girls Madi andAsh, were our long time helpers,

but sadly time changes and girlsgrow up and have other interests,like college and jobs, so we justsay, “Thanks for the wonderfulmemories, girls.” That should read“Thanks for the wonderful memo-ries of you wonderful girls.”

Monday, the tenth of December,the primary grades Christmasprogram will be presented at theWall School. We look forward tothese programs and have alwaysfound them so well done. Thankyou, Maverick for the invitation.We enjoy the Christmas season sovery much and hope to see you allat the some point to wish you aMerry Christmas in person. ElmSprings W.T.L.

This Friday, we read We Don’tEat Our Classmates by Ryan T.Higgins. The kids thought the bookwas very entertaining and enjoyedthe activities that went along withthe book. We already have ourChristmas decorations up and wewill be starting our countdown toChristmas next Friday. We will bereading a Christmas story for thenext three weeks to get everyone inthe Christmas spirit. The first onthe list being If You Ever Want toBring a Pirate to Meet Santa,DON’T! by Elise Parsley.

We received more of our Novem-ber order. Among those receivedwas Texas Ranger by James Patter-

son. It is about a Texas Ranger whobecomes a suspect in his ex-wife’smurder. The only way to keep hisfreedom is to find the killer himselfwhile risking his job, marriage, andreputation.

We also received The Reckoningby John Grisham, which is a mys-tery about a decorated war heroand father who, one day, drove intotown and calmly shot his pastor.Not only was this murder a shockto the community but so was his re-sponse to the sheriff, lawyers,judge, jury, and to his family mem-bers. Will we ever find out the realmotive behind this shocking mur-der or will he take it to the grave?

More often than not, Sunday was the most anticipated day of the week in The Valley. It’s not because anything earth-shattering took place in the four sanctuaries each week, but most folks like having people and places in their lives which don’t change signifi cantly over time, and the Sunday morning service was just such a place.

Sure, people come and go. In time, even priests and preachers either move on or pass away. Still, it was soothing to know most things remained the same from week to week and year to year.

At the Lennox Valley Methodist Church, Sarah Hyden-Smith was making last-minute preparations for the morning worship service. She came in early on Sundays, usually around 6:30 a.m., to make sure everything was ready for Sunday school and worship. She glanced over the bulletin Becky Moorehouse, part-time church secretary and bookkeeper, had prepared.

The Methodists count on certain activities. Normally, they began with announcements and then sing an opening hymn, usually written by Charles Wesley, brother of Method-ism’s founder, John Wesley. Like the Catholic church across the corner, the fi ne Methodists of Lennox Valley would dutifully recite the Apostle’s Creed midway through the service.

As Sarah made her fi nal preparations for the morning, Father O’Reilly had already begun the fi rst of two services. The Catholics referred to their worship service as a Mass, which made most of the Baptists and even some Methodists wonder what was actually going on within the walls of All Saints Church. The fi rst Mass, at 8 a.m., was held in Latin, while English was spoken at the 10:30 Mass.

At 8:25, Brother Billy Joe Prather made his way to his chair, located directly behind the pulpit of First Baptist Church. Brother Billy Joe didn’t use notes as he preached, so he used these last few minutes to pray for inspiration as he led his fl ock.

The Baptists, like the Catholics and Luther-ans, held two services on Sunday morning. Being exactly six days before October 31, Brother Billy Joe would fi rmly remind his

congregation to do their trick-or-treating early on Saturday night while being careful to wear suitable costumes. He suggested Moses, Mary and David were especially appropriate characters, allowing children to share in the holiday festivities while evangelizing to their community at the same time.

One day earlier, Iris Long overheard Marvin Walsh telling his friends Raymond Cooper and Earl Goodman, “See you in church.”

Regardless of countless references to his scriptural prowess and spiritual leadership on his radio show, Iris knew Raymond never attended worship, other than a few visits to the Lutheran church just before the mayoral election. She also knew Marvin hadn’t been a regular churchgoer in years, having become upset when First Baptist began singing “rock and roll” songs in church back in the 70s. He especially disliked “Kumbaya,” having no idea what the song was about, prompting several letters to the editor of Hometown News.

Iris guessed if Raymond was to meet Marvin in church, it would be at the contemporary service at Valley Lutheran Church. It was, after all, the place Cooper experienced his “great conversion” just prior to the election.

At 8:28, Brother Jacob welcomed Iris as she entered the fellowship hall where the contem-porary service was held. Visitors were rare at the 8:30 service and were greeted warmly. She had been to the service once before, taking a photo and writing a story about the new service for the Hometown News. She now took a seat in the back row of folding metal chairs.

Iris counted 14 folks in attendance as the electronic keyboard began to play, but there was no Raymond Cooper nor Marvin Walsh in sight. At 8:32, she heard some type of com-motion coming from the door behind her. She turned to see Raymond walking in alone, then taking a seat in the third row, one ahead of her, on the far end of the row.

As the congregation stood to sing, “Mighty is Our God,” she heard another noise coming from behind. It was Marvin, who had walked into the fellowship hall but seemed to be talking to someone outside the partially open door.

“Good Lord,” she murmured. “What are they up to now?”

Delta-01 Tour Fees To Increase In 2019

Minuteman Missile NationalHistoric Site will be increasing theamenity fee to tour the Delta-01Launch Control Facility beginningJanuary 1, 2019. The restructuredfee of $12 per adult and $8 peryouth (ages 6 to 16) will be accom-panied with an increase in thetour duration to forty-five min-utes. This fee covers only theranger-led tour at Delta-01; thereis no entrance fee to visit the park.

The implementation of the tourfee increase follows a business re-view of the current fee structurein 2017 and public consultationthis past summer. Tour revenue iskept by the park to use for de-ferred maintenance and preserva-tion projects. "We would like tothank all the members of the pub-lic who took time to express theirthoughts and opinions over the

past few months," Park Superin-tendent Eric Leonard said. "Thesefee dollars are being reinvested di-rectly into preservation projects atthe Delta-01 Launch Control Fa-cility and the Delta-09 missilesilo."

The forty-five minute ranger-guided tour at Delta-01 beginswith a walk through the groundsand topside support building. Vis-itors then descend via elevator 31feet underground to the LaunchControl Center to see the electron-ics used by missileers to controlten Minuteman II missiles. Builtfor nuclear war, the control centerfeatures a small elevator and atight underground space. To pro-tect the historic facilities and toprovide for visitor safety, each touris limited to six participants.

Minuteman Missile National

Historic Site's headquarters andvisitor center is located off of exit131, Interstate 90. The park con-sists of three sites along a fifteenmile stretch of Interstate 90 inWestern South Dakota. Author-ized by Congress in 1999, Minute-man Missile National HistoricSite preserves components of theMinuteman II intercontinentalballistic missile system, interpret-ing the deterrent value of theland-based portion of America'snuclear defense during the ColdWar era and commemorating thepeople and events associated withthis recent period of American his-tory.

The Circuit RiderDavid Holland

The Sacrifice of Abraham (Gene-sis 22:1-14)

He who is to be the father of thefaithful has to face the father of allthe trials of faith.  We see the work-ings of great faith in the actions ofAbraham.  

(1) He reasoned not;  he con-sulted no one.

(2)  He staggered not under thecrushing weight of such a demand.

(3)  He was prompt; he rose upearly in the morning.

(4)  He was deliberate; preparingthe wood beforehand.

(5)  He was fullydetermined;  bade the young menkeep back that they might not hin-der him.  This is a very fruitful por-tion of Scripture.  Look at the -

Father's Sacrifice.    "Take nowyour son, your only son Isaac" (v 2).Think of the preciousness of thisson.  All the hopes and desires andaffections of the father are centeredupon him.  In offering up his sonAbraham was offering up his all.He had absolutely nothing left buthis God.  Yet this is enough forfaith.  God gave up His Son, al-though all His affections and pur-poses were centered in Him.  Wecan never understand the great-ness of God's sacrifice until we canunderstand the greatness of Hislove for His beloved Son.  LikeAbraham, in giving His Son Hegave His all.

Son's Submission.  It is signifi-cant that it states that "the two ofthem went together" (v. 6).  In adeep and real sense this was true ofJesus Christ and His Father.  Inmaking an atonement for sin "thetwo of them went together."  "I de-light to do Your will, O My God"(Psalm 40:8).  The purpose of theFather and of the Son was one.Like the Lord Jesus Christ, Isaacsubmitted -

To be burdened.  "So Abrahamtook the wood of the burnt offeringand laid it upon Isaac his son" (v.6).  What a burden in the eyes ofthe father!  It was the cross of sac-rifice, the symbol of death.  What apicture of the only-begotten Son ofGod, with the burden of our iniq-uity laid upon Him, and laid onHim, too, by a loving Father!  "Andthe Lord has laid on Him the iniq-uity of us all" (Isaiah 53:6).  He alsosubmitted -

To be bound.  "...he bound Isaachis son and laid him on the altar"(v. 9).  As a young man, twenty-fiveyears of age, he might have resis-ted; but he, like our Isaac, was ledas a lamb, he opened not hismouth.  Love and devotion were thecords that bound the Son of God tothe altar of sacrifice.

Sacrificial Requisites.  Isaac car-ried the wood, while he himself wasto be the burnt offering; but let usnot fail to observe what was in thefather’s hands.

The fire.  "(Abraham) took thefire  in his hand."   There is some-thing awfully solemn about this."Our God is a consuming fire" (He-brews 12:29).  "Who shall dwellwith devouring fire?" (Isaiah33:14).  Does this not suggest theholy, testing, consuming characterof God when approaching the altar?

The knife.  "He took the fire anda knife."  If the fire represents theholiness of God, then the knife maywell symbolize the sword of justice."Awake, O sword, against the Manwho is My Companion" (Zechariah13:7).  The knife was quivering inthe air when Jesus cried, My God,My God, why have You forsakenMe?" (Psalm 22:1).  In these daysmen are ready to forget that everysacrifice to God must have to dowith the divine knife and fire.

The altar.  "Abraham built an

altar" (v. 9).  Isaac did not make thealtar; it was prepared by his fa-ther.  My soul, tread softly here.This was solemn work for Abra-ham.  In eternity God in His ownheart and mind prepared the altarfor Christ.  He was the  Lambslain  from the foundation of theworld (Revelation 5:12).  

The cords with which Isaac wasbound to the altar, were typical ofthe nails which bound Christ to thecross.  Not the nails, but the love formankind bound the Savior.  It wasthe love of the Father to the Son,the love of the Son to the Father,and the love of both to man - athreefold cord that is not easily bro-ken.

Doctrine of Substitution.    "Hetook the ram and offered him in thestead of his son" (v. 13).  The sceneon Mount Moriah, as a picture ofthe greater sacrifice on Mount Cal-vary, could scarcely have been per-fect without the thoughtof substitution being made promi-nent.  The figure now changes.  Theram becomes the  burnt-offering,  and the  submissiveone goes free.  You observe this sac-rifice (the ram) was provided byGod.  We still have Jesus before us,not as the Son now, but as the Sub-stitute of one condemned to die.Man found a Cross for Christ, butit was God who found the Ransom."He spared not His own Son (likeAbraham's), but delivered Him upfor us all" (Romans 8:32).  "Christour Passover is sacrificed for us" (1Corinthian 5:7).  Ask Isaac, as hegazes on the ram burning on thealtar in his place, if he believes insubstitution. 

"Behold the Lamb of God whichtakes away the sin of the world"(John 1:29).
