Each student was given seven
rounds of questions dealing with
geography. At the completion of the
seventh round, the top 10 scores
advanced to the next round. The 10
students who advanced were Jonah
Stockert, Scott Lun t, Marshall
Nunberg, Larissa Roberts, Morgan
Nunberg. Brandon Stockwell,
Danny Skoglund, Coy Obrigewitch,
Bailey Waldal, Tyler Steffan and
James Kary. The objective of the
second round is to cut the number
of contestants from 10 to two. They
were eliminated from the competi-
tion when they gave their second
wrong answer.
The students used a map to
answer a question in this round. It
took four rounds of questions to
narrow the competition to two par-
ticipants.
The two students who advanced
were Marshall Nunberg and Coy
Obrigewitch. These two students
went head to head with a clean slate
in the championship round. They
were given the same three questions
and had to write their answers.
Whoever had the most answers
right would be the winner. The
school champion was Coy
Obrigewitch. Marshall Nunberg
came in second, and Brandon
Stockwell third.
Coy will now take a written test
in January. The state will take the
top 100 scores, and.the students will
come together to compete i0 the
state geography bee in April.
On Sunday afternoon, Dec. 7, the
Dakota Kids 4-H Club met at the
Golva School for their Christmas
party. They baked and decorated the
Christmas cookies for the Golva
Bank open house day, which was on
Dec. 13. There was a gift exchange
followed by pizza and pop.
Larry and Shirley Schulte joined
other relatives and friends at the
Wibaux County Nursing Home
where they helped Shirley's morn,
Florence Watembach, celebrate her
95th birthday on Sunday.
On Wednesday evening, the
Golva School Board, faculty and
other employees of the school and
their spouses enjoyed a Christmas
dinner at the Golva Bar and Grill
where Patti and "Co." prepared a
delicious meal for them.
The Christmas concert held at
the Beach High School was well
attended. It was fantastic and many
of the students participating are
from Golva and that means that
many families from Golva were in
attendance.
Jacob and Sammy Stoveland
were overnight guests of their
grandparents, Gerald and Judy Curl
on Wednesday night. Linda brought
them to Beach after school where
they were at the Legion Club, where
they participated in firearm practice
for 4-H. Then Jacob went to Wibaux
for confirmation class at the Wibaux
Lutheran Church. Sammy had sup-
per with Gerald and Judy Curl;
Jacob came back to Beach, and the
next morning Larry Schulte picked
them up for the ride back to Golva
on the school bus.
Drug Problem: I had a drug prob-
lem when I was young. I was drug
to church on Sunday morning. I was
drug to church for weddings and
funerals. I was drug to family
reunions no matter what the weath-
er. I was drug to the bus stop to go
to school every weekday. I was drug
by my ears when I was disrespectful
to adults and teachers. I was also
drug to the woodshed when I dis-
obeyed my parents. Those "drugs"
are still in my veins and they affect
my behavior in everything I do, say
and think. They are stronger than
cocaine, crack and heroin, and if
today's children had this kind of
drug problem, America might be a
better place. Signed, Old Person.
