According to www.holidays.net/i
ndependence/story.htm this is the
story of our independece that we
celebrate each year on the Fourth
of July.
Independence Day is the na-
tional holiday of the United States
of America commemorating the
signing of the Declaration of Inde-
pendence by the Continental Con-
gress on July 4, 1776, in Philadel-
phia, Pennsylvania.
At the time of the signing the
US consisted of 13 colonies under
the rule of England's King George
III.
There was growing unrest in the
colonies concerning the taxes that
had to be paid to England. This
was commonly referred to as "Tax-
ation without Representation" as
the colonists did not have any rep-
resentation in the English Parlia-
ment and had no say in what went
on.
As the unrest grew in the
colonies, King George sent extra
troops to help control any rebel-
lion. In 1774 the 13 colonies sent
delegates to Philadelphia, Penn-
sylvania to form the First Conti-
nental Congress. The delegates
were unhappy with England, but
were not yet ready to declare war.
In April 1775, as the King's
troops advanced on Concord Mas-
sachusetts Paul Revere would
sound the alarm that "The British
are coming, the British are com-
ing" as he rode his horse through
the late night streets.
The battle of Concord and its
"shot heard round the world"
would mark the unofficial begin-
In a speech at Georgetown Uni-
versity, President Obama an-
nounced a broad new federal man-
date to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions from electric power
plants.
The President will instruct fed-
eral regulators to apply the Clean
Air Act to carbon dioxide issued
from power plants, effectively out-
lawing coal-burning facilities.
South Dakotas electric coopera-
tives are especially concerned
about this proposal because rural
and low-income Americans already
spend disproportionately more on
energy than others.
The impact of the Presidents
plan on co-op-served families and
businesses could be significant in
South Dakota, said Ed Anderson,
general manager of the South
Dakota Rural Electric Association
in Pierre, S.D. Rural communities
have been put through an eco-
nomic wringer for the better part
of a decade; theyve made incredi-
ble sacrifices.
The Presidents plan fails to
take into account electric coopera-
tives existing efforts to protect the
environment in a responsible and

With more than 1,060
megawatts of installed renewable
generation capacity in our portfo-
lio, South Dakota electric coopera-
tives are doing a lot more than just
talking about our commitment to
the environment.
That, coupled with the fact that
electric cooperatives have been
leaders in encouraging energy effi-
ciency and conservation for
decades, should serve as a model
for a responsible approach to ad-
dressing climate concerns, said
Anderson
We can move forward in our col-
lective efforts to protect and im-
prove the environment. And we
can do it in an effective and afford-
able manner.
Using the Clean Air Act to tax
every coal-fired generation facility
in the United States out of busi-
ness is not a responsible solution.
It is only expedient, Anderson
said.
I hope we can work with the
President to form a more reason-
able and sustainable plan, said
Anderson.
ning of the colonies war for Inde-
pendence.
The following May, the colonies
again sent delegates to the Second
Continental Congress. For almost
a year the congress tried to work
out its differences with England,
again without formally declaring
war.
By June 1776, their efforts had
become hopeless and a committee
was formed to compose a formal
declaration of independence.
Headed by Thomas Jefferson, the
committee included John Adams,
Benjamin Franklin, Robert R. Liv-
ingston and Roger Sherman.
Thomas Jefferson was chosen to
write the first draft which was pre-
sented to the congress on June 28.
After various changes, a vote
was taken late in the afternoon of
July 4th.
Of the 13 colonies, nine voted in
favor of the Declaration, two -
Pennsylvania and South Carolina
voted No, Delaware undecided and
New York abstained.
To make it official John Han-
cock, President of the Continental
Congress, signed the Declaration
of Independence. It is said that
John Hancock signed his name
"with a great flourish" so "King
George can read that without spec-
tacles!"
The following day copies of the
Declaration were distributed. The
first newspaper to print the Decla-
ration was the Pennsylvania
Evening Post on July 6, 1776.
On July 8th, the Declaration
had its first public reading in

Wall School Board met for a spe-
cial meeting on Thursday, June 27.
Business Manager Niki Mohr
presented the board with the Sup-
plemental Budget.
She noted this was an estimate
for the upcoming fiscal year. The
General fund will be supplemented
$100,000 for the year due to proj-
ects that werent in the budget.
After discussing the budget the
board made a motion and ap-
proved the Supplemental budget
resolution.
As of June 1, 2013 the school is
eligible to pay off the Capital Out-
lay Certificates. Mohr explained
the school will have to give a 30
day notice and payment can then
be made on September 1, 2013.
The amount owed is $442,938.75
and if the board approves to pay
the certificates off early they will
save over $33,000 in interest. Su-
perintendent Dennis Rieckman
said the money is just sitting there
and if we can pay if off five years
sooner then we should.
Mohr noted that with the Im-
pact Aid money coming in the
On June 20, 2013, six men in
their mid-60s embarked on a bicy-
cle ride across the Northern Tier of
the United States to raise money
and awareness for the Wounded
Warrior Project.
The 6 over 60 Team hopes to
raise $50,000 for this amazing
group of unsung American heroes.
All of the money donated goes di-
rectly to the Wounded Warrior
Project.
The team is self-funding all ride
expenses.
Donations can be made directly
on the Wounded Warrior web site
that has a direct link from the
Team web site www.6over60raa.co
m.
The Team will begin its journey
in Astoria, Oregon by dipping their
rear wheels in the Pacific Ocean
and conclude 60 days and 3,667
miles later in Portsmouth, New
Hampshire by dipping their front
wheels in the Atlantic Ocean.
Their support vehicle during
this adventure will be driven by
their longtime good friend and re-
tired pastor.
The six riders range in age from
64 to 68. They will all be retired at
6 over 60 riding Coast to
Coast for Wounded Warriors
the time of the ride from varied ca-
reers that include a high school
principal in Irvine, an Irvine police
officer, a director of a local water
district, a real estate developer, a
software developer and an execu-
tive from the oil industry.
The members of the 6 over 60
Team are longtime residents of
Irvine. They attend the same
church and have ridden together
for many years and many miles.
The individual riders have a va-
riety of personal reasons for doing
this ride but they all have a com-
mon purpose, to generate support
for the Wounded Warrior Project.
This 6 over 60 Team does not
take their lives for granted. They
are reminded every day of their
mortality by the evening news, the
aging of their parents and the re-
flection in the mirror.
All six realize how fortunate
they are to be blessed with good
health and great friendships.
They also recognize our

For the past 25 years the Pat
Guptill family from Quinn has
ranched on their 7,000 acre
spread. The Guptills decided in
2000 they needed to change the
way they managed their land.
They became caretakers of the
land which has improved the over-
all health of their ranch and in
turn has improved the health of
their cattle, wildlife and them-
selves.
Their conservation efforts have
earned the Guptill family the 2013
Leopold Conservation Award.
The Leopold Conservation
Award recognizes extraordinary
achievement in voluntary conser-
vation, inspire other landowners
through their example and helps
the general public to understand
the vital role private landowners
can and do play in conservation
success.
A tour of their ranch was held on
Friday, June 28.
Brent Heglund, who represents
the Sand County Foundation
opened the program and informed
the guests that the Guptills
through the years have achieved
high standards with their land and
by telling the story to urban and
suburban people who dont have
the due awareness or interest they
need to know how high performing
landowners deliver clear water,
clean food and prosperous wildlife
to their table.
Guptill said it was a huge shock
to hear they were even nominated
and it is quite an honor to be
picked.
He noted we were pretty excited
to prepare for this day in awe of
people who never knew what we
were doing.
He went on to say it is important
for us to take care of the land, if we
dont the health of the land will de-
teriorate and then the health of
people will also.
Jeffrey Zimprich, State Conser-
vationist of USDAs Natural Re-
sources Conservation Service,
thanked the Guptills for the work
they do to protect our land and this
is what NRCS is all about. Work-
ing on the private land to protect
the people. Thank you for the will-
ingness to share with other pro-
ducers and we hope this day will
inspire them to make a change on
their land.
South Dakota Secretary of Ag
Lucas Lentsch who is nine weeks
into this new job stated it is a great
honor to leave the ground better
than you found it. Today we are
here to honor the Guptill family
and today it is about those of us
who are in agriculture. Lentsch
hand delivered a letter from Gov-
ernor Dennis Daugaard on their
accomplishments.
Cory Eich, president, South
Dakota Cattlemens Association
said ranchers who run straight
grass have a lot of gumption to
alter their year long plans.
Along with the 2013 Leopold
Conservation award, a $10,000
check will be presented to them at
the South Dakota Cattlemens
Convention to be held in Pierre on
December 11. The family also re-
ceived a sign to put out by their
driveway that designates their
achievement.
A video was made of Pat and
Mary Lou where Pat was noted
saying, God gave us this world to
live on. We need to improve our
land so we are in sync with na-
ture.

Day-of-appointment service will
decrease length of interviews at
blood drives.
United Blood Services donors
now have the ability to complete
their donation interview online the
same day of their blood donation
appointment.
With this new service, United
Blood Services can reduce the
length of interviews on-site at a
center or mobile drive to only es-
sential follow-up questions.
Donors can visit the United
Blood Services website, access the
interview and print out a barcoded
Fast Track Donation Ticket that
they must bring with them to their
appointment.
Whenever we survey donors
about how we can make their ex-
perience better, they usually say
that the interview process should
be simplified, shortened or auto-
mated, said Jennifer Bredahl, Re-
gional Donor Recruitment Director
for United Blood Services.
We took these suggestions to
heart and now are happy to pro-
vide this new, shortened interview
process for our dedicated donors.
United Blood Services encour-
ages donors to give the online

South Dakota Landowners React
to President Obamas Climate
Speech
President Barack Obama gave a
speech presenting his plan to cut
carbon emissions and lead the
global charge to fight climate
change, starting with the way we
use energy.
With a focus on renewables and
less waste, President Obama has
promised to bring Washington,
D.C. up to speed with the rest of
the country.
Part of President Obamas ini-
tiative is to make sure the Key-
stone XL pipeline is not built if it
raises greenhouse gas emissions.
In speaking about the controver-
sial Keystone XL pipeline, Presi-
dent Obama stated, I do want to
be clear: allowing the Keystone XL
pipeline to be built requires find-
ing doing so would be in our na-
tional interest.
He went on to say the only way
to find the pipeline is in the na-
tional interest is to find it will not
exacerbate this countrys issues
with carbon emissions.
The EPA has commented that
the State Department DSEIS is se-
riously flawed and that in fact the
development of tar sands will in-
crease greenhouse gas emissions
at a much greater rate than con-
ventional oil, notes Paul Sea-
President Obama says Keystone XL
Pipeline should not be approved if it
raises greenhouse gas emissions
mans, Dakota Rural Action board
chair and landowner crossed by
the Keystone XL route.
While the Draft Supplemental
Environmental Impact Statement
released by the US State Depart-
ment notes the pipeline will not in-
crease greenhouse gas emissions,
this finding has been heavily dis-
puted.
In-depth analysis by the Natural
Resource Defense Council and the
Environmental Protection Agency
have concluded that tar sands
mining and the resulting diluted
bitumen will, in fact, increase
greenhouse gas emissions; and the
Keystone XL pipeline is the major
proposed vehicle for tar sands di-
luted bitumen.
President Obamas speech was
met with skepticism by some, how-
ever; Bret Clanton, a Harding
County landowner and Dakota
Rural Action member said, I dont
know how to take him anymore. I
feel like hes prepping us for the
okay of it, but I dont know. I wish
our President would quit being a
politician on the Keystone XL
issue.
There are literally millions of
people whose lives are in limbo on
both sides of this controversial
project. I have kind of lost faith in
his openness and hope and change
theme.
Grasshopper inspection
critical for control
The South Dakota Department
of Agriculture is urging land own-
ers to take the necessary steps now
to manage grasshopper popula-
tions.
Since April snowstorms led to a
late onset of spring and May rains
pushed back planting, producers
now find themselves at the start of
haying season, said South Dakota
Secretary of Agriculture Lucas
Lentsch.
In the hustle and bustle of the
next month, it is important to re-
member that now is the best time
to scout for grasshoppers.
Each summer, South Dakota
faces the possibility of destructive
grasshopper outbreaks.
Predicting these outbreaks be-
fore they occur is very challenging
and early scouting is the key to
grasshopper management.
The dry conditions in the sum-
mer of 2012 may have actually
helped reduce the outbreak poten-
tial for this summer, said Mike
Stenson with the South Dakota
Department of Agriculture
(SDDA).
Later hatching species had lim-
ited green vegetation needed for
growth and eventually egg laying.
In some cases, extreme heat can
actually lead to nymphal mortal-
ity. This years cool wet spring will
aid in the suppression of early
hatching species by increasing the
presence of bacteria and disease
within the grasshopper popula-
tion.
Even though Mother Nature
has been on our side and a large
scale outbreak is unlikely, it is still
important to check your own fields
and pastures for newly hatching
grasshoppers, said Stenson.
Grasshoppers go through five
nymphal or instar stages before
they reach adulthood and sexual
maturity. During the nymphal
stages the grasshoppers are very
susceptible to environmental con-
ditions as well as pesticide treat-
ment practices.
Once they reach adulthood they
begin laying eggs almost immedi-
ately and become much harder to
kill.
Although treating adults that
are actively laying eggs might curb
current feeding damage, it will not
break the life cycle or produce ben-
efits in subsequent years.
Reports are coming in of
grasshoppers hatching in the
southern most South Dakota coun-
ties, said Stenson.
If the hatch continues at a nor-
mal pace, the last two weeks of
June will be the perfect time for
grasshopper control activities.
The South Dakota Department
of Agriculture and USDA - Animal
and Plant Health Inspection Serv-
ice will be collaborating to keep the
public abreast of the current
grasshopper situation and provide
producers with information on
grasshopper treatment options
specific to their operation.
For more information on
grasshopper control in South
Dakota, please contact Mike Sten-
son with the SD Department of
Agriculture at 605.773.3796.

Unneeded/Excessive
Pesticide Use?
Although my title is Plant
Pathology Field Specialist, being
the only Agronomy Extension staff
person at the Winner Regional Ex-
tension Center,
I deal with more than plant dis-
eases. I consider that broader per-
spective to be a good thing, as
there are often common themes
across other aspects of agronomy.
A local producer recently
brought in a weed that was pres-
ent in his pasture, and more obvi-
ous in his neighbors.
With the aid of the SDSU Taxon-
omists expertise, the weed
turned out to be a native wild-
flower.
The Taxonomist knew the pro-
ducer wanted to know what the
weed was, mainly so he could
find out which herbicide would
control it.
Being the expert in his field that
he is, he provided the plant
species, but also added a concern.
In his words, Native forbs like
this one are being extinguished
through wholesale herbicide appli-
cation to grasslands.
Native bees important for polli-
nating native and cultivated fruits,
etc., are being decimated as natu-
ral nectar sources needed through
the growing season are lost. I'm
seeing far fewer bees and less fruit
set in pollinator-dependent fruits
in corn/soybean/pasture country
here in the eastern part of the
state.
We have a pollinator crisis that
is intensifying. I'm not a tree hug-
ging true environmentalist, just an
observant realist. How do we de-
bunk the notion that anything not
grass is a weed?

This theme carries over to
other areas.
Entomologists promote that
there are other ways to control in-
sects than just insecticides.
Wheat producers are likely
hearing of aphids in their fields.
There are also lady beetles and
other predatory insects there too,
and if at high enough populations,
can keep aphid numbers below the
thresholds.
Applying insecticides when in-
sect pest thresholds havent been
reached may not be economical,
and the predators will also be con-
trolled.
Insecticides are also not the only
solution for alfalfa weevils.
Granted, the weather doesnt al-
ways cooperate to allow early cut-
ting, and even so, the weevils
sometimes survive to feed on the
regrowth and justify an insecticide
application.
Alfalfa weevils have natural en-
emies and insecticides should be
used with care to minimize the ef-
fect on these beneficials.
There are situations where in-
cluding an insecticide with an-
other pesticide application because
there are a few undesirable insects
present may require coming back
for another application because
the beneficial insects were taken
out in the first application.
A similar phenomena occurs
with fungicides. In addition to
killing harmful fungi, fungicides
also kill good fungi.
These good fungi help to control
aphids, grasshoppers, and other
insects as well as plant diseases
such as bacterial.
Extensive fungicide use has also
shown to be detrimental to micro-
bial activity in the soil.
Integrated Pest Management, or
IPM, practices have been encour-
aged for several years.
IPM principles stress crop scout-
ing, following economic thresholds
and considering alternative control
methods.
Its important to recognize that
a healthy grassland contains more
plants than just grass, not all in-
sects are pests, and not all fungi
are bad.
After the wet spring, the South
Dakota Division of Parks and
Recreation is reminding people to
take measures to protect them-
selves from mosquitoes while out-
doors this summer.
The best prevention is to be-
come knowledgeable on the sub-
ject, says Doug Hofer, director of
the Division of Parks and Recre-
ation.
By implementing just a few
steps to decrease personal contact
with mosquitoes, we can make out-
door experiences much more enjoy-
able this summer.
To prevent mosquito bites, the
South Dakota Department of
Health suggests the following
steps:
S.D. State Parks remind visitors to
practice mosquito prevention
When outdoors, use mosquito
repellent containing DEET, ac-
cording to directions.
Spray repellent on both skin
and clothes, but avoid applying re-
pellent to the hands of children, as
it may irritate the eyes and mouth.
Wear light colored long-sleeve
shirts and pants.
Be aware that mosquitoes are
most active between dusk and
dawn and when the air is calm.
For more information on mos-
quitoes and West Nile Virus, visit
the Department of Healths web-
site at www.doh.sd.gov. Informa-
tion on South Dakota state parks

Chubb Wilcox from Hot Springs was in Wall on Friday, June 26.
He brought his buggy and Miss Kitty down so she could get ac-
quatined with different vechicles and tourists. Wilcox said his
horse is three years old and still needs a lot of training and why
dont spend the evening in Wall. ~Photo Laurie Hindman

As we prepare to celebrate the
Fourth of July, families and busi-
nesses throughout the country will
unfurl the stars and stripes and
proudly display the American Flag
in honor of our great nation.
The importance of this waving
symbol of liberty and justice is
epitomized in the famous World
War II photo depicting U.S.
Marines and a Navy corpsman
raising the flag atop Mount Surib-
achi on Iwo Jima. Stories such as
this, depicting the patriotic hero-
ism of our military, cause us to
pause and reflect upon the sacri-
fices that our men and women in
uniform have made and continue
to make on behalf of our country.
I have had the honor of listening
to many of our states great war
heroes tell stories of battles won
and fought, and some of my fa-
vorite stories are of the USS South
Dakota, a famous World War II
battleship that found great success
throughout its career. Nicknamed
Old Incredible, it played an ac-
tive role in 15 major U. S. military
operations, 50 air strikes, and the
downing of over 64 Japanese air-
craft. It was one of the fastest and
most expensive ships of its time,
and was truly feared in the Pacific.
Remembering the USS
S.D., the Old Incredible
The USS South Dakota also took
part in a number of historic World
War II events. It was one of the
first ships to bomb the Japanese
homeland and was present at the
Japanese surrender signing.
At the conclusion of its illustri-
ous career, the USS South Dakota
had traveled almost 250,000 miles
roughly the distance from the
earth to the moon. It crossed the
equator and the international date
line 30 times, as well as the Arctic
Circle twice. This mighty battle-
ship truly became a legend before
it was even one year old. For its ef-
forts, the USS South Dakota and
its crew were awarded 13 battle
stars by the United States Navy
after less than five years at sea.
We are eternally grateful to the
heroes of the USS South Dakota
and their families for their contri-
butions and sacrifice to our coun-
try. I invite all South Dakotans
this Fourth of July to join me in
honoring the service of our veter-
ans and to keep the brave mem-
bers of our military and their fam-
ilies in our thoughts and prayers
as they continue to serve on our
behalf.
Kimberley and I wish all South
Dakotans a very happy and safe
Independence Day.

High school finals rodeo results
The 2013 South Dakota High
School Rodeo finals were held last
week, June 19-23 at the Roundup
grounds in Belle Fourche.
Area contestants fought hard for
the spots to go to the national fi-
nals in Rock Springs, Wyo. in July.
Scores were affected by the heavy
rains, especially for the short go.
Point scoring for the finals in-
cludes 15 places. First place is
given 15 points down to 15th place
which is awarded one point. In in-
stances where there is the same
score the points are totaled and
then divided equally. The first and
second rounds each had 15 plac-
ings; the short go had 10. Average
winners are based upon totaled
scores from the three rounds.
The champion and runner-up
spots are chosen by the total of all
the points earned during the sea-
son plus, those at the finals. The
top four contestants from each
event move on to the national fi-
nals.
In some cases, while a contest-
ant may not have had the best
state finals, the had enough season
points to place them in the top 15
of total points for the year.

A new law making it illegal for
young drivers to use a cell phone
while driving takes effect on Mon-
day, July 1, South Dakota Depart-
ment of Public Safety officials re-
mind citizens.
The law, passed by the 2013 Leg-
islature, prohibits anyone who
holds a learners permit or a re-
stricted minors permit from using
any handheld communication de-
vice while driving. Generally, such
permits are issued to persons be-
tween the ages of 14 and 18.
Young people still gaining expe-
rience with driving really need to
avoid any distractions, said Jenna
Howell, director of Legal and Reg-
ulatory Services for Public Safety.
Driving is a full-time responsibil-
ity for all of us. That is especially
true for our younger drivers who
are still trying to get comfortable
behind the wheel of a vehicle. The
law emphasizes the need to pay at-
tention to the road.
Legal sale of fireworks in South
Dakota began on Thursday, June
27, and Fire Marshal Paul Merri-
man is urging residents to be safe
and sensible as they celebrate In-
dependence Day.
Fireworks have long been a tra-
ditional part of the Fourth of July
celebration in South Dakota, but
every year we have a few injuries
and some unintentional fires,
Merriman said.
While much of the state has ex-
perienced much-needed moisture
in recent months, we still caution
anyone using fireworks to cooper-
ate in keeping us all safe and fire-
free. Common sense goes a long
way.
The 2013 South Dakota Legisla-
ture changed state law to allow the
discharge of fireworks from June
27 until the Sunday after July 4.
This year, that means its legal to
discharge fireworks through Sun-
day, July 7. Previously, July 5 was
the legal end date for use of fire-
works in the state.
Individual cities may adopt
stricter limits on use of fireworks,
and Merriman suggests citizens
check local ordinances and regula-
tions.
He also said staff with the State
Fire Marshals Office will be out
during the legal sales period in-
specting retail fireworks stands to
Fire marshal urges Fourth
of July fireworks safety
make sure the products being of-
fered for sale in South Dakota are
legal consumer fireworks.
We arent trying to take the fun
out of the holiday, but we do want
to make sure the fireworks being
sold meet legal requirements,
Merriman said.
The National Fire Protection As-
sociation says recent statistics
show that nationally in 2010 fire-
works caused an estimated 1,100
structure fires, 300 vehicle fires
and 14,100 outside and other fires
with eight civilian deaths and $36
million in property damage. The
risk of fireworks injury was high-
est for children age 5 - 14, the as-
sociation said.
Merriman offered a few simple
safety tips:
Follow the instructions on the
product, avoid using fireworks in
places where a fire could start and
keep a source of water handy.
Sparklers are popular with
younger children, but they can
cause painful burns and should be
used with adult supervision, Mer-
riman said.
Cell phone ban for young
drivers takes effect on July 1
A learner or instruction permit
allows the holder to drive between
the hours of 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. if
accompanied by a person who has
a valid driver license, is at least 18
years old and has at least one year
of driving experience. That person
must occupy a seat beside the
young driver.
A restricted minors permit al-
lows the holder to drive between 6
a.m. and 10 p.m. with permission
of a parent or guardian. The holder
of a restricted minors permit may
drive between the hours of 10 p.m.
and 6 a.m. if the parent or
guardian is in a seat next to the
driver.
The Legislature directed that
the new law be enforced as a sec-
ondary offense, meaning a young
driver would have to be stopped for
another offense before a ticket
could be issued for driving while
using a handheld communications
device.
Philadelphia's Independence Squ-
are. Twice that day the Declara-
tion was read to cheering crowds
and pealing church bells. Even the
bell in Independence Hall was
rung.
The "Province Bell" would later
be renamed "Liberty Bell" after its
inscription - Proclaim Liberty
Throughout All the Land Unto All
the Inhabitants Thereof.
And although the signing of the
Declaration was not completed
until August, the 4th of July has
been accepted as the official an-
The story of Independence Day and
America's birthday continued from page 1
niversary of United States inde-
pendence.
The first Independence Day cel-
ebration took place the following
year - July 4, 1777.
By the early 1800s, the tradi-
tions of parades, picnics, and fire-
works were established as the way
to celebrate America's birthday.
And although fireworks have
been banned in most places be-
cause of their danger, most towns
and cities usually have big fire-
work displays for all to see and
enjoy.

South Dakotans who head to the
beach and the pool this summer
should take common sense precau-
tions to prevent water-borne ill-
nesses such as cryptosporidiosis,
says a state health official.
"Water sports are great physical
activities and we don't want to dis-
courage them but we do want peo-
ple to practice healthy swimming,"
said Bill Chalcraft, health protec-
tion administrator for the Depart-
ment of Health.
In 2012, South Dakota reported
113 cases of the diarrheal illness
caused by Cryptosporidium para-
sites. Through May of this year, 37
cases have been reported.
Chalcraft said beaches, pools,
hot tubs and waterparks can be
contaminated by runoff, the pres-
ence of chlorine resistant germs, or
poor maintenance. Contamination
can also result when individuals
with diarrhea use recreational wa-
ters. People at high risk for recre-
ational water illnesses include the
young, the elderly, pregnant
women, and the immunosup-
pressed.
Chalcraft offered the following
Prevent recreational
water illness this summer
prevention tips for all swimmers:
Shower with soap before swim-
ming and wash your hands after
using the toilet or changing dia-
pers. Wash your children thor-
oughly with soap before swim-
ming.
Dont swim when you have di-
arrhea.
Dont swallow pool water.
Take young children on bath-
room breaks and check diapers at
least every hour.
Change diapers in a bathroom
or a diaper-changing area and not
poolside.
Use sunscreen with at least
SPF 15 and UVA and UVB protec-
tion, reapplying after swimming.
Change out of wet swimwear
and shower thoroughly after swim-
ming.
Parents should keep an eye on
children at all times when near the
water and avoid using water wings
and other swimming aids in place
of life jackets.

ming at www.cdc.gov/healthyswim

Wasta Wanderings

Lloyd & Margee Willey
Ahhh! Wasta on a beautiful
summer sunday morning. A cloud
check early this morning put me in
mind of a favorite kindergarten
artwork project.
Maybe you remember the bits of
cotton pasted on construction
paper to represent snow? Little
bits of white cotton fluff thats
how the clouds appeared to me
early this morning.
Ahhh! If everyone in the world
felt as blessed to be in their world
as I feel to be in mine, do you think
we would ever need to go to war?
The necessary activities toward
the July 4th Independence Day
gathering is taking up much of my
time these past weeks, but there is
some news to share in addition to
upcoming plans for the Fourth.
The Hadlocks had visiting
kids. Melody and Pad ONeil ar-
rived Friday, the 21st, for time
with Gay and Dick and to cele-
brate their 28th anniversary. Their
choices of places to go included the
Black Hills and a helicopter ride
(Melodys) first to see Mt. Rush-
more up close and personal. Dick
said that its a real thrill for
Melody. A good time for the four of
them. The days were good, but too
soon the ONeils returned home to
Rockford, Ill.
Ash Grenstiner had a birthday
on Friday, the 28th. Plans included
friends who came to Wasta and a
backyard camp-out that night.
Dad, Travis, brought pizza and
Ash, Madi and friends, Kassidy
Sawvell and Abby Moon, helped
celebrate Ashs twelfth birthday.
Plans for some family activities
over the next few days were also
part of the birthday. Happy
Twelfth Birthday from us, Ash. We
love you Lloyd and Margee.
Speaking of Wasta kids, I
havent seen Kelly Green all sum-
mer! Where are you, Kelly?
I hope to have seen or well see
all of you in Wasta, July 4th, as we
celebrate our countrys Independ-
ence Day!
Happy Trails!
P.S. It seems strange to be get-
ting ready for Wastas July 4th
without Dorothy Bathel, who was
always such a big part. Hope you
are enjoying living in Philip. We
may just come over!

the eat part.
It has been reported that Jim
Estes of St. Paul, Minn., plans to

gram during Walls Celebration,

Sunday, Darrell and Anita Pe-
terson of Philip had all of their
family home. Kelsie Naescher
came to Wall to get her grandma
Edith Paulsen so she could join

Every week in the news there
seem to be reports of tragedies
that have happened. It is what
gets people to buy newspapers,
watch a certain channel of TV or
listen to a certain radio station.
They didnt have to build up this
story the bare facts made me
sick at heartthe death of 19 elite
firefighters in a wild fire in Ari-
zona is one of the worst things that
could happen. All of our firemen
are volunteers let us tell them
they are appreciated!
I do not think we have a right
to happiness. If happiness hap-
pens, say thanks.

In this nation we are free to
enjoy so many wonderful opportu-
nities. Ponder this if you will:
We have the freedom to think.
We have the freedom to believe as
we wish. We have the freedom to
dream and aspire to reach out and
touch those dreams. We have the
freedom to take a risk and fail. We
have the freedom to take a risk and
succeed. We have the freedom to
worship as we please. We have the
freedom to celebrate life in most
any manner that we can think up.
Let Freedom Ring!
With freedom comes responsibil-
ity. We must understand that this
freedom comes at a very high price.
The men and women who sacrificed
their lives so that we can be free is
a mighty price to pay. Let Freedom
Ring!
Freedom of choice is my favorite.
Our choices and decisions chart the
course for our lives and the paths
that we follow. If we ever lose our
freedom of choice we would be in a
very sad state of affairs. Let Free-
dom Ring!
Be of good cheer. The time is now
to pause and count the many free-
doms and opportunities that come
with those freedoms. Let Freedom
Ring!
This week, join me in celebrating
freedom, and when you do, take
time to reflect on what freedom re-
ally means to you. Let Freedom
Ring!
Let Freedom Ring!

Pennington County Courant.
i pledge
allegiance
A memorable moment for all America occurred earlier
this year when Red Skelton, on his CBS-TV program, gave
the Pledge of Allegiance. As he repeated the Pledge, he
described this special meaning of each word as he was
once taught. Since then he has received thousands of re-
quests for copies. Here is the Pledge as he gave it. As you
read these words and explanations, the Pledge may have
a deeper meaning for you, too.
I remember this one teacher, Mr. Lasswell was his
name. To me, he was the greatest teacher, a real sage of my
time. He had such wisdom. We were all reciting the Pledge
of Allegiance, and he walked over. He said: Ive been listen-
ing to you boys and girls recite the Pledge of Allegiance all
semester and it seems as though it is becoming monotonous
to you. If I may, may I recite it and try to explain to you the
meaning of each word:
Ime, an individual, a committee of one.
Pledgededicate all of my worldly goods to give without
self-pity.
Allegiancemy love and my devotion.
To the Flagour standard, Old Glory, a symbol of free-
dom. Wherever she waves, there is respect because your loy-
alty has given her a dignity that shouts freedom is every-
bodys job.
Of the Unitedthat means that we have all come to-
gether.
Statesindividual communities that have united into 48
great states. 48 individual communities with pride and dig-
nity and purpose, all divided with imaginary boundaries,
yet united to a common purpose, and thats love for coun-
try.
Of America.
And to the Republica state in which sovereign power
is invested in representatives chosen by the people to gov-
ern. And government is the people and it's from the people
to the leaders, not from the leaders to the people.
For which it stands.
One nationmeaning, so blessed by God.
Indivisibleincapable of being divided.
With libertywhich is freedom and the right of power to
live ones own life without threats or fear of some sort of re-
taliation.
And justicethe principal or quality of dealing fairly
with others.
For allwhich means its as much your country as it is
mine.
Since I was a small boy, two states have been added to
our country and two words have been added to the Pledge
of Allegianceunder God. Wouldnt it be a pity if someone
said, Thats a prayer and that would be eliminated from
schools, too?
~Red Skelton
Melodee G. Bartsch_______________
Melodee Gay Bartsch, 58, of
Gillette, Wyo., died Friday, June
28, 2013 at Pioneer Manor, due to
complications from M.S.
Memorial Services were held
Tuesday, July 2, 2013 at Pioneer
Manor in Gillette, with Pastor Tom
Frey of Prince of Peace Church of-
ficiating.
Melodee was born on February
21, 1955 in McLaughlin, S.D. to
Elmer Schulz and Dorothy Herron.
Melodee enjoyed playing scrab-
ble, bingo, jenga and various other
games. She loved watching football
and good movies. Arts and Crafts
were one of her favorite activities
as well as reading books and she
always loved getting her nails
done.
A great passion she had was her
job as a greeter at Campbell
County Hospital where she always
had a big smile on her face and
constantly had a way of making
others smile as they passed her.
She was proud of her role as Pres-
ident for the Residential Council at
Pioneer Manor.
Melodee also enjoyed her work
she did in early childhood educa-
tion and substitute teaching. In
Beloit, Kansas she worked for the
Youth Center and also OCCK
which she enjoyed also. Melodees
top priority was being a great mom
to her daughters.
She is survived by her daugh-
ters: Amber (Adam) Loomis of
Jewell, Kan., Lacey (Mike) Villa-
mar of Lawrence, Kan; her grand-
children: Ayden, Ashlyn, and Avery
Loomis of Jewell, and Arabella Vil-
lamar of Lawrence; her brothers:
Tim (June) Schulz of Brandon,
S.D., Guy Schulz of Gillette, Tony
(Holly) Schulz and Troy (Gina)
Schulz, both of Wall, S.D.; her sis-
ters: Spring (Jerry) Walker of
Gillette, Holly (Steve) Keller of
Trail City, S.D., Stacey (Kevin)
Byrum of Gillette, Lisa (John)
Ocilka of Rapid City, S.D.
Melodee is preceded in death by
her husband, Tom Bartsch; her
parents, Elmer and Dorothy
Schulz; as well as several aunts,
uncles and grandparents.

ice is planned for a later date.

FINANCIAL FOCUS
PLAN AHEAD FoR YoUR
owN FINANcIAL
INDEPENDENcE DAY
Richard Wahlstrom
www.edwardjones.com
This week, we celebrate Inde-
pendence Day with fireworks,
sparklers, picnics and parades.
Amidst the hoopla, though, its al-
ways important to reflect on the
many freedoms we enjoy in this
country. And as an individual, you
may want to use the occasion to
think of another type of independ-
ence youd like to enjoy financial
independence.
In some ways, we are living in a
time when attaining financial free-
dom is more difficult than it has
been for quite a while. Were still
recovering from the bursting of the
housing bubble and the lingering
effects of the Great Recession. Fur-
thermore, wage stagnation is a
real problem. In fact, median in-
come for working-age households
those headed by someone under
age 65 actually slid 12.4 percent
from 2000 to 2011. Taken together,
these factors certainly impose
challenges on anyone seeking to
become financially independent
and eventually enjoy a comfortable
retirement.
Still, you need to do everything
you can to put yourself on the path
to financial independence. For
starters, make full use of whatever
resources are available to you. If
you have a 401(k) or similar retire-
ment plan at work, try to con-
tribute as much as you can possi-
bly afford and every time you
get a raise in salary, increase your
contributions. At the very least,
put in enough to earn your em-
ployers matching contribution, if
one is offered. Also, within your
401(k) or similar plan, choose an
investment mix that offers you the
chance to achieve the growth you
will need to make progress toward
the type of retirement lifestyle
youve envisioned.
In addition to contributing to
your 401(k), you can also take ad-
vantage of another retirement ac-
count: a traditional or Roth IRA.
Like a 401(k), a traditional IRA
grows tax deferred, while a Roth
IRA can grow tax free, provided
you meet certain conditions. Plus,
you can fund your IRA with virtu-
ally any type of investment, in-
cluding stocks, bonds, certificates
of deposit and Treasury securities.
What else can you do to help
yourself move toward financial in-
dependence? For one thing, dont
become dependent on hot tips or
other questionable financial advice
about The Next Big Thing in the
investment world from so-called
experts who often have poor prog-
nostication records. Even more im-
portantly, though, their advice
may simply be inappropriate for
your needs and risk tolerance.
Finally, consider these two sug-
gestions: Maintain adequate liq-
uidity and keep your debt levels as
low as possible. By having enough
cash reserves to cover unexpected
costs, such as a major car repair or
a new air-conditioning unit, you
wont have to dip into your long-
term investments. And by keeping
your debt payments down, youll
have a stronger cash flow, which
means youll have more money
available to save and invest for
your future.
Each one of these suggestions
will require a commitment on your
part, along with a clear focus on
your goal of financial independ-
ence there just arent any short
cuts. But with a consistent effort,
you can keep moving along on your
journey toward your own Financial
Independence Day.

Highlights from the Guptill family ranch tour
People gathered around the Belle Fourche Watershed Partner-
ship, rainfall simulator demonstrated by Matt Stollenberg.
One of the afternoon presentations at the Guptill 2013 ranch tour
was a rainfall simulatior demonstration presented by Matt Stol-
lenberg.The simulator looks at the impact and water runoff into
water relationships on crop land and rangeland. Different soil
samples are taken from croplands and pastures. They are
placed on trays where two inches of simulated rainfall is sprayed
on the samples. Runoff is then collected in jars where viewers
can see what happens to the landscape and better answer why
there is runoff. ~Photos Don Ravellette
This ground was completely dry on the bottom of about six
inches of soil you can tell in the gallon jug under the tilled
ground (second jug from the left) that the run off was the most
extreme.
Three trailers were taken out in the pastures for a ranch tour
after the welcome and awards presentation.
Guptills cattle graze in a controlled environment that is about as
wide as the cattle are in the picture and Guptill, said they are
moved approximately every two days. They use electric fences
to control them and water tanks are moved into the next pasture
where cattle follow easily.
Governor Dennis Daugaard has
received a report from Secretary
Pam Roberts, head of the South
Dakota Department of Labor and
Regulation, on the state Division
of Insurance (DOI).
Earlier this month the Governor
had requested a review of the divi-
sions investigative procedures for
consumer complaints on long term
care insurance providers.
After reviewing the report, Gov-
ernor Daugaard has accepted the
recommendations and directed
that they be implemented.
I thank Secretary Roberts and
the division for their efforts, said
Governor Daugaard. The Division
of Insurance has the difficult task
of balancing consumer protection
and business needs. While perfect
equilibrium will never be possible,
implementing these recommenda-
tions will increase the balance be-
tween the divisions priorities.
Recommendations from the re-
port include increasing oversight
from supervisors and the Secre-
tary, enhancing communication be-
tween DOI staff members, estab-
Sec. of Labor and Regulation
issues report to Governor
on Division of Insurance
lishing an informal settlement
process, setting new timelines and
posting completed market conduct
examination reports on the depart-
ments website.
Some of the proposed changes
would require legislation.
Under existing law, the division
can suspend, revoke or refuse to
renew a license until fines are
paid, but cannot independently
fine insurers or agents without
their consent.
Once DOI has revoked a li-
cense, they no longer have lever-
age over a licensee to ensure fu-
ture compliance with South
Dakota law and regulations,
Roberts says in the report. Con-
sumers are then left with insur-
ance contracts that are still in
force with an insurance company
DOI no longer has authority to
regulate.
Roberts will draft legislation for
the Governor to consider introduc-
ing in 2014 to allow the division to
independently fine companies and
order restitution to consumers.

S.D.s definition of marriage
survives U.S. Supreme Court
S.D.s definition of marriage sur-
vives U.S. Supreme Court
Attorney General Marty Jackley
announced June 26 that South
Dakotas definition of marriage,
which is limited to a man and a
woman, is still valid.
After todays United States
Supreme Court decisions, South
Dakota constitution and legislative
enactments defining marriage to be
between a man an a woman remain
in effect as a matter of law, said
Jackley.
In November 2006, South
Dakota voters approved a constitu-
tional amendment making mar-
riage valid only between a man and
a woman. South Dakota voters ap-
proved this amendment by a vote of
172,242 to 160,173. South Dakota
Constitution Article XXL, Section
9, defines only marriage between a
man and a woman shall be valid or
recognized in South Dakota. In ad-
dition, SDCL 25-1-1 defines mar-
riage as a personal relation be-
tween man and a woman.
In the first decision the United
States Supreme Court handed
down, the court found that private
parties lack standing to defend the
constitutionality of a California law
defining marriage as between a
man and a woman. When Califor-
nia state officials refused to defend
a constitutional amendment that
defined marriage as a union be-
tween a man and a woman, private
parties sought to enforce its consti-
tutional amendment. The court
held that only state officials and
not private parties have standing
in federal court to defend the con-
stitutionality of the law. Based
upon South Dakota voters decision
to define marriage as between a
man and a woman in South
Dakota, the state of South Dakota
joined numerous states as Amicus
Curie or Friend of the Court, de-
fending the constitutionality of
Californias definition of marriage.
In the second decision, the U.S.
Supreme Court recognized each
states responsibility for defining
and regulating marriage. When
United States Attorney General
Eric Holder refused to defend or
enforce a federal statue that de-
fined marriage as excluding same
sex partners, the House of Repre-
sentatives stepped in to defend the
federal stature. As to those states
that define marriage to include
same sex couples, the federal
statute violated basic due process
and equal protection principles.
The federal statute did not recog-
nize or accept 12 states and the
District of Columbias definitions of
marriage. The decision did not re-
solve challenges to state marriage
definitions affecting same sex mar-
riages. The opinion and its holding
are confined to only same sex mar-
riages made lawful under state
law.
One year after Supreme Courts
ObamaCare decision
Senator John Thune (R-S.D.) re-
leased the following statement on
the one year anniversary of the
Supreme Courts decision to uphold
portions of ObamaCare.
ObamaCare has been built on a
series of broken promises, and is
deepening the administrations
trust deficit and credibility gap
with the American public. Despite
Democrats assurances that the bill
would lower premium costs and
allow Americans to keep the insur-
ance they liked, ObamaCare has
instead resulted in higher premi-
ums, higher taxes, fewer jobs, more
regulations and more government
spending.
The individual mandate, one of
the chief taxes scheduled to hit
middle class families across the
country in 2014, was upheld by the
Supreme Court based on Congress
authority to tax. Ironically, the In-
ternal Revenue Service, which has
been charged with overseeing the
implementation of ObamaCares
tax policies, is embroiled in a seri-
ous investigation for abusing its
power to target conservative politi-
cal groups. The release of this sen-
sitive information also calls into
question the ability of the IRS to
impartially oversee the implemen-
tation of ObamaCare. Whether the
IRS can be trusted to administer
the tax laws while handling sensi-
tive health insurance information
is seriously in doubt.
Additionally, it will be middle
class families, union employees
and low-wage workers who will be
the hardest hit by the long term
impacts of this bill. Since Oba-
maCare was enacted, premiums
have increased by an average of
nearly $2,400. Nearly four in 10
small business owners are holding
back hiring because of costs associ-
ated with implementing Oba-
maCare. According to the nonpar-
tisan Congressional Budget Office,
seven million Americans will lose
the coverage they have today de-
spite the presidents famous line if
you like your plan you can keep it.
It is time for Congress to repeal
ObamaCare and enact common-
sense, step by step reforms that ac-
tually reduce health care costs and
increase access to quality care.
Of Interest to Veterans
- No amnesty for illegal immigrants -
by Norris Preston
past national vice-commander
the American Legion
The American Legion oppose leg-
islation that would result in the
granting of amnesty and legal res-
idence, in any form or by any name,
to illegal immigrants currently in
the United States.
The truth is, The American Le-
gions position is similar to immi-
gration policies shared by most
countries around the world.
The American Legion sees immi-
gration policy as a national secu-
rity issue that affects public safety,
economics, and good federal gover-
nance. In order to be effective, the
government must be able to ac-
count for the needs of its people. In
order to accomplish that, it needs
to know how many people it has
within its jurisdiction. People who
reside in the United States illegally
of the expense and hard work it
took for the millions of American
citizens who abided by the law, and
assimilated into the American fam-
ily of citizens legally.
Lastly, The American Legion be-
lieves that blanket amnesty would
send the message that Americans
immigration laws are to be scoffed
at, encouraging future prospective
citizens to seek illegal shortcuts
rather than abide by federal law.
While The American Legion under-
stands that there will never be a
perfect solution, we do believe that
the citizens of the United States
have a right to expect that our fed-
eral government is as fair and as
prudent as possible when ensuring
the safety and economic security of
our nation, and properly enforced
immigration law is part of that re-
sponsibility.
are undocumented, and undocu-
mented people make it impossible
for local and federal governments
to properly plan for, budget for, and
provide for its citizens.
Further, The United States of
America should be free to monitor
and evaluate the applications of
people who wish to live among our
citizens. This policy is no different
from that of any other developed
nation. When people reside in the
The United States illegally, or any
other country for that matter, they
thwart the entire process and un-
dermine our legal, social, and eco-
nomic system.
Immigrants found to be living
here illegally, in the opinion of The
American Legion, must not be
granted amnesty because, as men-
tioned earlier, it not only under-
mines our legal and judicial sys-
tem, but it also cheapens the value

State Park visitors should leave
fireworks at home
The upcoming Fourth of July
holiday is always a busy time in
South Dakota's state parks and
recreation areas. If you plan to cel-
ebrate at the parks, Game, Fish
and Parks Department officials ask
you to please leave fireworks at
home.
According to Doug Hofer, state
parks and recreation director,
campgrounds are traditionally very
busy with campers and other visi-
tors enjoying the parks during the
Independence Day period.
Combining fireworks and large
numbers of people creates a dan-
gerous situation, said Hofer. We
appreciate your help to keep the
parks safe and fun this Fourth of
July.
Discharging fireworks is prohib-
ited on all lands owned or leased by
the South Dakota Department of
Game, Fish and Parks. The ban in-
cludes state parks, recreation
areas, lakeside use areas, game
production areas and nature areas.
Discharging fireworks is also ille-
gal within the boundaries of the
Black Hills Forest Fire Protection
District, national forests and na-
tional parks in South Dakota.

South Dakota State Parks, visit
www.gfp.sd.gov or call 605-773-

FOCUS ON THE FAMILY
with Dr. James
Dobson
Dr. Dobson Answers
your Questions
QUESTIoN: How do I teach my
young daughter to be grateful? Im
concerned about her selfish atti-
tude. She recently had a birthday,
and as soon as she was finished
unwrapping her gifts she started
looking around for more!
ANSwER: The answer largely
depends on your daughters age.
Smaller kids toddlers, preschool-
ers, and even some children in the
lower elementary grades may be
a bit too young to understand ideas
like unselfishness and gratitude.
Theyre still in the process of
rounding out their self-concept and
grasping what it means to be an
individual self as distinguished
from the rest of the world around
them. If your child is only five or
six years old, theres probably no
reason to be overly concerned
about her behavior.
Of course, its a different matter
where older children are con-
cerned. This is where many par-
ents come face to face for the first
time with the impact of our mate-
rialistic, consumer-driven culture.
Advertisers and toy manufactur-
ers arent in the business of help-
ing moms and dads teach concepts
like contentment and thankful-
ness. From their perspective, kids
are primarily a lucrative sector of
the market, and they design
their advertising campaigns ac-
cordingly. As a result, children
growing up in our society are con-
ditioned to believe that theyre en-
titled to have everything they
want right now!
One of the best ways you can
counter this mentality is by mod-
eling a grateful and selfless atti-
tude yourself. Actions and example
always speak louder than words.
As you go through your daily rou-
tine, remember to express thank-
fulness to God on a regular basis
even for simple things like a roof
over your head and food on the
table. Model gratitude in your re-
lationships with others. Make sure
to express thankfulness to friends,
relatives, and co-workers, and not
just when they do something spe-
cial for you. Let people know how
much you appreciate them just for
who they are. While youre at it,
express that kind of unconditional
gratitude to your daughter as well.
Another way to help your child
develop a grateful heart is by serv-
ing others who are less fortunate.
Volunteer to serve meals at a local
rescue mission. Visit shut-ins at a
nursing home. Consider signing up
to sponsor a poor child in a third-
world country through a ministry
like World Vision or Compassion
International. This is a wonderful
way to increase your entire fam-
ilys awareness of Gods goodness
and graciousness while getting in
touch with the needs of people
around the world.
If you need further ideas or ad-
ditional information, feel free to
call and speak with a member of
Focus on the Familys Counseling
Department. Our counselors are
available Monday through Friday
between 6:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m.

(4357) and theyd be happy to as-
sist you in any way they can.
QUESTIoN: What should we
be aware of before adopting a child
who has been abused? We're con-
sidering adopting a child under the
age of two who has been in the fos-
ter-care system for the past year.
At just a few months old he was re-
moved from his birth home be-
cause of abuse. What kind of risks
are we facing?
ANSwER: You deserve a great
deal of credit for your willingness
to adopt a child from such a trou-
bled background. James 1:27 tells
us that genuine godliness or
pure and faultless religion, as
some translations have it means
looking after orphans and widows
in their distress. Its obvious that
youre acting on the basis of a
heartfelt zeal for true righteous-
ness; and with that in mind, wed
like to encourage you to move for-
ward with your plans. But we also
want to advise you to proceed with
your eyes wide open.
We have good reasons for offer-
ing this kind of warning. The first
two years of life are critical for any
child. Kids who are abused, neg-
lected, or moved from care-giver to
care-giver during this period can
develop significant emotional and
behavioral problems. Some also
suffer from a phenomenon known
as Reactive Attachment Disorder.
This condition is characterized by
an inability to bond with others
even with adoptive parents who
are extremely loving and nurtur-
ing. Children with this disorder
may also exhibit aggressive ten-
dencies and display little compas-
sion or empathy for others. (Note:
this information is offered purely
for purposes of parental enlighten-
ment. Parents should be careful
about labeling kids too quickly.
The first two years are crucial, but
children who have been placed in
good foster homes have a much
better chance to thrive than those
who havent.)
That said, its important to add
that every situation is unique. A
great deal depends on the individ-
ual circumstances of the child
youre planning to adopt and the
type of foster care he received after
he was removed from his home.
Theres no one-size-fits-all pattern
here. Some abused and neglected
children are extremely resilient
and display an astounding ability
to thrive and grow once theyre set-
tled in a stable environment.
Wed suggest that you gather as
much information as you can from
the childs social worker. If possi-
ble, it would also be a good idea to
talk to the foster parents. This will
give you some indication of the
kind of care he has been receiving
and whether or not he appears to
have any emotional or behavioral
problems. Remember, too, that
problems of this nature are not
necessarily reasons to forgo adop-
tion. True healing comes from God,
and Christian families are in the
best position to provide that for a
hurting child.
If you do decide to adopt this
child, it would be wise to consult
with a psychologist who specializes
in early childhood attachment. He
or she can work with you, the cur-
rent foster parents, and the social
worker to help ease the transition
from the foster care system to your
home.
QUESTIoN: When should we
tell our child that she was
adopted? Whats the best and most
sensitive way to approach this sub-
ject?
ANSwER: A child who was
adopted at birth should be told
about it from a very early age. This
should happen almost as soon as
he or she is capable of understand-
ing language. Whats more, it
should be a recurring theme in
conversations with your child
throughout the growing up years.
Unfortunately, some parents
avoid bringing the issue up when
their kids are young. Why? Be-
cause it makes them uncomfort-
able. Then, as the years go by, they
find themselves faced with the
task of telling an older child some-
thing theyve been keeping secret.
This can undermine the childs
sense of security and may result in
feelings of rejection or betrayal.
Naturally, the facts should be re-
vealed and discussed using age-ap-
propriate words and imagery. The
adoption should always be pre-
sented in a highly positive light.
For example, a parent might tell a
two or three-year-old that mommy
and daddy chose her over all the
other children in the world. This
will let her know how special she
is.
When the child is slightly older
four or five, maybe you can ex-
plain the difference between a bio-
logical parent and an adoptive par-
ent. Explain that your child has
actually had two different moth-
ers. Her first mommy took care of
her when she was very, very tiny,
inside of her tummy. Then, after
she was born, you brought her
home from the hospital to live with
you because she was so extra-spe-
cial.
Many kids express an interest in
meeting their birth mother during
the teen years. This can often be
arranged in the case of open adop-
tions. It can be a positive experi-
ence for the child, but it has to be
handled sensitively. It isnt always
a good idea to connect with the
birth family.

On July 2, 1776, John Adams
sent a letter to his wife Abigail:
The second day of July, 1776, will
be the most memorable epoch in
the history of America. I am apt to
believe that it will be celebrated by
succeeding generations as the
great anniversary festival. Al-
though his prediction was two days
premature, Adamss sentiment was
100 percent accurate.
People all across the state of
South Dakota are preparing for
this upcoming weeks celebration.
Whether you decide to spend it at
the ball fields, on the lake or with
friends and family in your commu-
nity, the Fourth of July is a great
opportunity to pause and give
thanks to all the men and women
who fought for the idea that was
America, as well as all of those who
have sacrificed to protect our coun-
try since its founding.
One of the most inspiring parts
of our nations story of independ-
ence is that the Declaration of In-
dependence, which so eloquently
proclaimed our freedom, is still on
display today in the National
Archives in Washington, D.C. If
you ever have the opportunity to
visit our nations capital, I encour-
age you to make a point to see this
historic document. The words on
that parchment inspired a revolu-
tion, inspired a movement and
crafted a vision for what a United
States should truly look like.
As President Ronald Reagan
once said, Freedom is never more
than one generation away from ex-
tinction. We didnt pass it to our
children in the bloodstream. It
must be fought for, protected and
handed on for them to do the same,
or one day we will spend our sunset
years telling our children and our
childrens children what it was
once like in the United States
where men were free.
I wish all of you a happy and safe
Fourth of July holiday and hope
youll take this opportunity to
share your celebrations with me.
Feel free to send me a tweet @Rep-
KristiNoem or an email through
my website (http://noem.house.gov)
and tell me how you plan on cele-
brating.

Senator John Thune (R-S.D.) is
currently seeking intelligent, hard-
working college students to serve as
fall interns in his office in Washing-
ton, D.C., as well as in his offices in
Aberdeen, Rapid City, and Sioux
Falls.
Interns in Senator Thunes state
offices will participate in constituent
service and state outreach activities,
while students in the Washington,
D.C., office will have the opportunity
to witness the legislative process,
give Capitol tours, and attend Sen-
ate votes and hearings. Both in-state
and Washington, D.C., internships
will allow students to work closely
with constituents, hone their re-
search and writing skills, and learn
a multitude of valuable office skills.
Interning in a Senate office pro-
vides students with an excellent op-
portunity to experience democracy
in action, said Thune. Interns gain
valuable knowledge about both state
and national issues and an under-
standing of the inner workings of a
Senate office. I encourage all stu-
dents to consider applying for this
rewarding experience.
Senator Thune is a member of the
Senate Committees on Agriculture,
Nutrition, and Forestry; Commerce,
Science, and Transport- ation; and
Finance.

ested in interning in Senator
Thunes Washington, D.C., office
