The controversial “Sentinel” billwhich would allow local schoolboards to put armed guards insideschools passed out of the SenateState Affairs Committee last week. About 60 people were on hand atthe meeting, despite snow—andlimited travel--in much of thestate. Time constraints, however,limited the number of people testi-fying, as well as the length of theircomments. The vote to send HB1087 to theSenate floor as amended was 5-4.This surprised many observerswho had expected the vote toswing the other way. The amendment removed an ad-dition made by the House that al-lowed school boards to discuss andmake a decision in executive ses-sion to implement a sentinel pro-gram. Sen. Mark Johnston, R-SiouxFalls, noted that such action wouldconflict with the existing openmeeting statutes. Sen. Craig Tieszen, R-RapidCity, agreed, noting that it must bea publicly made decision, but afterthat details could be handled in ex-ecutive session as a personnel mat-ter.

Sentinel bill narrowly sent to Senate floor amid several questions The lines were still drawn in thetestimony between those who sup-ported the bill as necessary forteacher and student safety, andthose who feared the presence ofguns would most certainly end inaccidental shootings and unin-tended deaths of those who weremeant to be protected. Tieszen recounted instancesfrom the 1990s when he was aRapid City police commander inwhich an armed student threat-ened fellow students. Of 13 threats in Rapid City fol-lowing the Columbine schoolshooting in 1999, Tieszen said, twowere credible and could havecaused harm if not stopped “So, if we think we are immunein South Dakota,” Tieszen said,“think again.” Rep. Scott Craig, R-Rapid City,refuted the assumption that thisbill was in response to the SandyHook Elementary School shootingrecently.

“The third installment ofStronger Economies Together wasvery well attended, with great dis-cussion, and as we neared the endof the evening, enthusiasm aboutwhy we are coming together inthese meeting was most definitelygrowing,” said Lindsey Hilde-brand, executive director for theWall Badlands Area Chamber ofCommerce. Hildebrand was referring to themeeting in Wall, Tuesday, Febru-ary 12. The first community dis-cussion among members of theBad- lands/Bad River Region com-munities had been held in Kadoka,and the second in Philip. The fourth gathering will be inMidland at the Open BibleChurch, March 12, starting at 4:45p.m. Tentatively, the meeting willinclude a tour of Stroppel Inn andBathhouse. Kari O’Neill, community devel-opment field specialist, reportedthat Dave Hahn, mayor of Wall,said, “As we began to meet, I ques-tioned where we as a region couldgo but this process has created anenthusiasm within our communi-ties and I look forward to theprogress of planning for our future. We have been able to get toknow each other more and moreeach time and the end result willbenefit us all.” The purpose of SET is to helprural communities and counties towork together as a regional teamin creating and putting into actionan economic development blue-print. This plan is to build on thecurrent and growing economicstrengths of the region. The premise is that creating, at-tracting and retaining jobs as asingle rural county in isolation isbecoming increasing ineffective. Economic development progressis more likely to be realized whenrural counties work together as aregion to assess, design and imple-ment plans that build on theircomparative economic strengths.More information can be seen athttp:// srdc.msstate.edu/set/phase3.html. The SET program is action ori-ented. Each step in the process issupposed to lead to a real goal forthat region. The first of the nine monthlymeetings was an introduction tothe program. The second was forparticipants to profile their region. This latest meeting was to beginbuilding a strong regional team ofindividuals. The meeting in Mid-land will be geared toward devel-oping the vision and goalsdiscussed in the early sessions. Small groups came up with spe-cific names of people to ask to beinvolved in SET. Reasons for involvement arealso a call for action. This region isfacing declining populations, fewerjobs, housing shortages, aging res-idents, youth outmigration andeconomic instability. People are coming together as apart of the SET program to find so-lutions to these issues. The teamincludes a varied group of peoplewith access to many resources,but, we also need the talents andnetworks others can bring to thetable. We cannot continue to watchthese factors get worse. We mustact now for results in the next oneto five years. Many impacts willlast far beyond that. We believeour efforts will positively impactall residents of the region; specifi-cally small businesses. We also feel we can impact ourregions overall economic stabilityand job growth which will encour-age our population to live here,work here, raise their family hereand retire here. Upcoming modules will be: ex-ploring opportunities for a

Stronger Economies Together

stronger regional economy, strate-gies for enhancing the regionaleconomy, discovering assets aswell as barriers, planning for suc-cess, and measuring that success. Extra modules could incluceland use and planning, entrepre-neurship, technology/networking,and others. Attendees to this meeting dis-cussed that what the attributesare of a strong regional team. Thegroup should be able to prepare forobstacles, can assess its own makeup of individual strengths, can en-tice more partners, can promoteaction, and can advocate for itsgoals. The attendees discussed the as-sets within this region. Thishelped to identify people repre-senting these capitals, who shouldbe asked to be involved in the SETprocess. Financial assets include banks,endowments, community fundsand funding agencies. Natural assets include parksand recreation, conservationgroups, government agencies,farmers and ranchers. Cultural strengths include cul-tural and religious groups, muse-ums and historical societies. Human assets include facilita-tors, educators, trainers, workforcegroups, service agencies, economicdevelopers, board members. Social strengths could be civicclubs and organizations, “peoplewho know people,” and people withlinks to outside resources. Political assets are elected andappointed officials, congressionalstaff and delegates and politicalgroups. Assets that are or can be builtinclude telecommunications, utili-ties, industrial parks and otherbusinesses. The group agreed that theyshould involve people with varyinglevels of power and interest. Peo-ple with low power or drive andwith low interest are not worth re-cruiting. The group should be dynamic in“forming, storming, norming, per-forming” its plans. Not all groupsare the same, however nearly allfollow a pattern. Performing is the phase wheregroups become confident, their en-ergy is channeled, they are com-fortable with new challenges,disputes are handled and goals areachieved.

Attendees include people who have been to each meeting andnewcomers. Large group and smaller group discussions wereheld. ~Courtesy photo

He said he had presented hisconcept to the Legislative Re-search Council in December andthe shootings took place two weekslater. That, he said, “confirmed therightness of this bill.” Since then,he said, there have been four moreincidents seen nationally. Compelling opposition camefrom New Underwood School Su-perintendent Jeff Marlette, who isa retired Brigadier General whosaw combat. “Have we now reached a placethat our state has gotten so bad, sounsafe,” Marlette asked, whereteachers need to carry guns? Heoutlined the dangers of peripheraldamage that even trained law en-forcement can inflict when tryingto bring down a gunman. Rob Monson, State Associationof School Administrators, pre-sented an amendment that wouldhave changed the bill’s intent to aninterim study topic.

Sunday fire destroys trailer house

Wall Volunteer Fire Department responded to a trailer house fireon Sunday, March 3 at the Hustead Trailer Court. The call camein around 3:30 p.m. according to WVFD Assistant Chief DarwinGeigle. Geigle said, “The fire started on the deck and then trav-eled into the trailer house where it gutted the kitchen, livingroom and then the flames traveled down the hallway and wentout the back door.” Geigle noted that all occupants had safelygotten out and there was no injuries. WVFD had the fire knockeddown in 20 minutes but stayed for another two hours to watchfor any flare ups. ~Photo Ann Clark

Badlands National Park willmake a five percent across-the-board cut in its operating budgetdue to sequestration, an actionthat will impact visitor services. A five percent budget cut neces-sitates a 24 percent reduction inthe seasonal workforce that sup-ports interpretive talks and walks,school programs, custodial serv-ices, road, fence and building re-pair and maintenance, science andresearch activities, natural re-source monitoring, and search andrescue operations. Staff duties will be shifted tosupport front-line visitor servicesfirst, forcing other necessary oper-ations to be deferred.

“The seasonal workforce is theheart of the park,” said Superin-tendent Eric Brunnemann. “Thissort of loss cuts deeply into ourability to serve the public, some-thing we are dedicated to doingevery day.” Nationally, in-park concession-ers and cooperating associationsare responsible for over 25,000jobs, many of these seasonal in na-ture. Additionally, countless jobs ingateway communities are sup-ported seasonally by national parkvisitors who spend on servicessuch as lodging, food and beverage,entertainment and recreation. In 2011, Badlands NationalPark welcomed 870,741 park visi-tors who generated $22,203,000 in

Badlands National Park to cut intergral visitor serviceseconomic benefit to the local econ-omy, including supporting 317local jobs. Most of this visitationoccurred between April and Octo-ber, at the height of the seasonaloperation. Regionally, national parks in theBlack Hills of South Dakota served3,807,375 visitors in 2011, gener-ating $165 million and supporting2,651 jobs in our neighboring com-munities. The National Park Service willcelebrate its hundredth anniver-

Tieszen later called the so-called“hog house” of the bill an “am-bush,” noting he had seen theamendment for “exactly 32 min-utes” during the meeting. Hecalled the attempt “intensely dis-respectful.” That amendment was defeated. Sen. Larry Lucas, D-Mission,said the sentinel bill was an impor-tant issue, in fact, “this is THEissue of the 2013 session.” Headded, “what we have in place isworking,” noting that boards couldalready hire guards. Chairman Larry Rhoden, R-Union Center, said the bill’s intenthas been blown out of proportion. He said it would allow the state’s152 school districts to decidewhether to participate in a sen-tinel program. Rhoden called the program “onesmall step in the right direction.” The bill now travels to the Sen-ate floor for final legislative consid-eration.

sary in 2016. “We are struggling tocontinue preserving park re-sources, and serving the visitingpublic and our local communities,”said Brunnemann. “Our upcominganniversary reminds us thattelling our stories, the stories ofthe American people is a privilegethat we take seriously.” For more information, seehttp://www.nps.gov/badl or onFacebook at BadlandsNPS.

The consequences of sequestra-tion and the federal budget arelooming questions. Actions takenor more importantly, not taken willhave a significant impact uponSouth Dakota’s budget. It is esti-mated South Dakota will losearound $8 million between nowand June 30th if nothing is done. This will reduce the amount of es-timated unallocated funds in the2013 fiscal year from $26 millionto $18 million and shortens thefunds I was hoping could beawarded as another one timeamount to schools and health careproviders. A sequester would reduce the2014 fiscal budget in a big way andresult in a reduction in plans formodest increases in 2014 expendi-tures. Other issues that are being hotlydebated are HB 1214 which wouldestablish a new Medicaid sectionto provide prenatal care for undoc-umented women, HB 1145 (anymedical provider) which wouldprohibit insurance companies fromentering into agreements withmedical providers and HB 1204which requires legislative ap-proval before the Department OfEducation can enact changes tocommon core standards.

We have received numerous e-mails from people on both sides ofthe bills. Decisions are difficult be-cause both sides have persuasivearguments and what is actuallybest for all South Dakotans can bedifficult to determine. I am leaning toward voting noon all three. In my opinion theywould result in either costing usmore or interfering with practicesthat have proven to work well. Balancing the budget is takingcenter stage. It is always a “bestguess” but this year the unknownsfrom Congress result in big ques-tion marks. By Friday, the balanced budgetrequired by our constitution willbe presented and voted upon.There will be intense discussionslong the way and hopefully, I willprevail on some of my priorities –School Funding and Health CareProviders. The last day of session will beFriday, March 8th. However, I willcontinue to monitor my e-mails soplease communicate with me whenyou have questions or comments. My state e-mail is: [email protected] and my home e-mail is [email protected]. Mycell is 605-390-2165.

I normally support our countiesand townships because they are solimited by the state and often faceunfunded mandates. I opposed SB88 which increased the minimumsalary of country officials, state at-torneys and sheriffs because, tome, we have no reason or need totell the counties where thosesalary minimums should be. That should be a local decision.I also voted against SB 22 and 29because they spend extra GeneralFund Revenue on state buildingsand property. I want to spend most of the timein this article on the Teen DrivingTask Force bills that we had in mycommittee on the 26th. SB 105that extended the time that mustbe spent driving on a learners per-mit and SB 107 that restricted thenumber of passengers that couldbe in a vehicle driven by a teenwith a learner’s permit both failed. 105 was basically a conflict be-tween rural and urban that re-sulted in urban teens with accessto Drivers Ed. being able to get alicense sooner than their ruralcounterparts and creates an unfairsituation. Only 13 schools in the state offerDrivers Ed. during school. SB 107was totally unenforceable. Howdoes law enforcement enforce two

things? Is the driver on a learners per-mit and are those bodies in his orher car siblings or friends? I also voted against 106 thatbans electronic devices in their ve-hicles. First of all there are multi-ple apps available that disablethese devices at 12 to 25 mph. Par-ents need to be parents and putthe apps on. Your kids haveenough friends, they need parents. Why are G.P.S. navigation sys-tems and audio systems ex-empted? Are they not adistraction? We have speedinglaws, stop lights, sign laws, D.U.Ilaws and seat belt laws yet we stillhave deaths caused by non-compli-ance, will this be any different.The answer is no. The only solu-tions is to put the app on thephones etc. that disable them The same is true for SB 216. Weare having the department of edu-cation and public safety build acurriculum for only thirteenschools. We just can’t seem to stopourselves from wanting to passuseless feel good bills. We can be-come a nanny state just like thefeds want. Well that’s my rant. It’s close tothe end and as I get tired I must begetting cranky and frustrated.

A Wasta Wanderer still wander-ing in Florida. Though still not a well traveledtourist, I have been up the coast acouple hundred miles. The biggest noticeable differencein scenery from the highway is thenumber of pine trees quite happilymixing with palm trees and otherabundant tropical vegetation.Some how, in my mind they werenot a “go-together”. My son, Scott Patterson and hiswife, Rochele, have a place nearPalm Bay, about 200 miles north ofMiami. It is one of many countryproperties where it is common tosee a few head of saddle horsesgrazing. I must say the sight wasmost enjoyable for this SouthDakotan. Scott and Rochelebought this place which had beenformerly a “rescue ranch”. Kind ofput me in mind of friends, Chuckand Jonny. The vegetation is soabundant it is a constant battlejust to keep their clearing cleared!Maybe a few goats would help.Rochele and I did some weedingand then off to the nursery to pur-chase a plant, some daylillies andsnap dragons, satisfying my needto get my fingers in the dirt! Back to Miami area, soccergames, granddaughters and walkswith the dog. Dog walks are agreat opportunity to do some majorsnooping, while seeming innocent.Visual snooping, of course to checkout flowering floral and fauna —(fawna?) whatever. I see beautiful (and one I canname) bougainvillea, mostly redshrubs and brushes and vines. Theflower is smallish maybe 1 1/2 to 2

inch in diameter but so abundant,but just now not so many flowers.Impatients seem to be the springbloom of choice now and left overpoinsettias — all look lovely to me.A trip to Tropical Gardens seemsto be in order, but might be over-whelming! A nesting cardinal pair singfrom the power line. Actually, Idon’t know if they’re singing now,but whatever the sound is calledit’s pleasing to have them to seeand hear. The mocking birds are frequentvisitors as well and the impudentbut tuneful rascals are such atreat. Everyone at this home is welland very busy. Sofia did injure herknee the last few minutes of a soc-cer game but seems to be doingokay. Olivia, the 16 year old grand-daughter, is enjoying being a jun-ior in high school and will startswimming with a team soon. Their parents, Alita and Ramonseem to do a good job keepingeverything sorted out. I think it ismore than I could have managedwithout a periodic collapse! Olivia and Sofia have friendswho really want to come to Wastaand visit. They have conveyed tofriends their special feelings abouttown and people. The days are becoming warmerand more humid though the rain-fall has been in short supply sinceDecember. Their short supply and WesternSouth Dakota’s short supply arenot quite the same! My thoughts often travel homeand hope friends and neighborsare well. Happy Trails!

Posted By Pastor Cornelius R. StamThose who have no time for God should consider

what their circumstances would be if He had no timefor them; no time to paint the sunsets, no time to sendthe warm sun’s rays or the refreshing showers, no timeto make the crops and flowers grow. We doubt that anythinking person would actually want nothing to do withGod.

Cain despised God’s authority and finally murderedhis brother, but when he was driven from the presenceof God he said: “My punishment is greater than I canbear” (Gen. 4:13).

One of the saddest sentences in the gospel recordsis our Lord’s prediction that He would have to say tosome: “I never knew you; depart from Me, ye that workiniquity” (Matt. 7:23).

Just what it will mean to be “cast into the lake of fire”(Rev. 20:15), we pray God none of our readers willever find out, but the Scriptures do clearly indicate thatthose involved will be cast forever out of the presenceof God.

Thank God, it is not He who desires this. He paid forour sins at Calvary to reconcile us to Himself (Eph.2:16). St. Paul declares that God has called believers“unto the fellowship of His Son” (1 Cor. 1:9) and thatat His coming for them they shall “ever be with theLord,” adding: “wherefore, comfort one another withthese words” (1 Thes. 4:17,18).

“Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ,as though God did beseech you by us; wepray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled toGod” (II Cor. 5:20).

God has demonstrated His love for us in Christ. Whynot respond by gratefully trusting Christ as your Sav-ior?

When we are born, each of us isgiven a bucket and a dipper. Allthroughout our lives, the level ofour bucket changes, sometimesbeing filled, and sometimes beingemptied, determining how we feelabout ourselves and others. Obviously we are very differentwhen our bucket is full, comparedto when it is empty. For some peo-ple, their bucket actually developsa rotted out little hole in the bot-tom and it seems that all the good-ness poured into it just seeps outover time, causing them to turnnegative, bitter and often veryhurtful toward others. They needtheir bucket filled, so they look forsomeone who's bucket is full ofgood things-like joy, kindness,grace, creativity, etc.-and use theirdipper to take from the full bucket.When that doesn't work, they mayactually shoot a hole in the bucket,trying to tear down and destroy thegood things that person attemptsto do by criticizing, condemningand complaining about them. When those of us with full buck-ets encounter people whose buckets

are empty, we should dip into ourown full buckets and pour out ourlove, grace, joy, and peace into theirempty buckets. We must do thiseven for those who persecute usand attack us viciously, becausethat is what they need. But won't that cause my bucketto become dry? Never! For when-ever we fill another's bucket, ourown bucket is automatically filledto overflowing again! This is a nat-ural law that is always true. How-ever, we must remember that if we

choose not to pour out of our fullbucket into the buckets of others,over time the contents of our ownbucket will become stale, and itmay even evaporate away. Let me encourage you. If yourbucket is full, look for another'sless-than-full bucket, and get busyusing that dipper of yours to fill itup! If you know that your bucketneeds filling, then by all means,find someone whose bucket is fulland ask them to help you. You'llboth be glad you did!

FOCUS ON THE FAMILYwith Dr. JamesDobson

Dr. Dobson Answersyour Questions

QUESTION: How should I re-spond to my spouse’s verbal andemotional abuse? This has been aproblem for the greater part of ourmarriage. I have never been phys-ically harmed in any way, but theconstant put-downs and mindgames have made my life miser-able. Some of my friends say Ishould pursue a divorce, but oth-ers have suggested that I don’thave biblical grounds. A few folksin this second group have even toldme that my only concern is to “sub-mit” and continue loving myspouse in spite of the mistreat-ment. What do you think I shouldI do? ANSWER: There are two thingsyou need to understand about yoursituation. First, it’s more commonthan you may suspect. There’s asurprising amount of emotionaland verbal abuse going on behindclosed doors, even in Christianmarriages. This suggests: 1) thatyou’re not alone; and 2) that manypeople have devoted a great deal oftime, thought, and energy to com-ing up with solutions. Among themare some of our most gifted andhighly qualified marriage thera-pists and counselors. In otherwords, answers are available ifyou’ll take the time and trouble tolook for them. The second point is this: thestate of affairs you’ve describedisn’t good for either of you—notyou or your spouse. It’s harmfuland destructive to everyone con-cerned. That includes any childrenwho may be part of the picture.This means that something mustbe done to change it as quickly aspossible. We can almost guaranteethat the change won’t come aboutas a result of adopting a “submis-sive” attitude toward abuse. In connection with this lastthought, we’ve observed that thereare generally two kinds of peoplewho advise “submission” in caseslike this: 1) a few male pastors,counselors, and friends who take asimplistic view of passages likeEphesians 5:22-33 and Colossians3:18-25; and 2) abusive husbands.Our response, especially to the lat-ter group, is that it isn’t up to aman to see to it that his wife “sub-mits.” The apostle has given tasksto each partner in the relationship.Each partner is responsible onlyfor his or her own assignment. Toput it bluntly, men need to forgetabout “submission.” job is to learnwhat it means to love their spouses“as Christ loved the church.” So much for theology. Let’s moveon to something more practical.What can you do to take your mar-riage in a more positive direction?We suggest you begin by investi-gating your options. All too oftenpeople in your position assumethat they have only two alterna-tives: to stay put and suffer, or filefor divorce. This isn’t necessarilytrue. As a matter of fact, there maybe a number of other ways to breakthe negative cycle. You can find out more by settingup an appointment with a Chris-tian marriage and family coun-selor. Make sure that the therapistyou choose understands the dy-namics of abuse, power, and con-trol, and that he or she is welltrained in the highly specializedfield of marital conflict. It wouldbe ideal, of course, if your spouse

were to seek counseling as well,but we don’t recommend that thetwo of you do this jointly, at leastnot in the beginning. It’s far tooeasy for an abusive spouse to ma-nipulate a couples counseling situ-ation and subsequently turn it tohis own advantage or use it as anexcuse for further abusive behav-ior. If the thought of professionalcounseling is too overwhelming,consider talking to a pastor or agood friend, or see if you can get aneighbor to take you to a commu-nity center where there are peopletrained to deal with domesticabuse issues. The idea is to findout what you can do, not what youcan’t do, and to act accordingly. As you consider your options forobtaining professional assistance,it’s vital to bear in mind that thisprobably isn’t going to be a quickand easy process. Abuse is usuallyrooted in deeply entrenched pat-terns of thought and behavior, andyou can’t expect to reverse thosepatterns in a couple of counselingsessions. While working on theproblem, you may find it necessaryto create a crisis by giving yourhusband an ultimatum. A spousewho is acting out in this fashioncan sometimes be persuaded tomake a change if his partner hasthe courage to stand up for herself.Tell him, "Either we both get coun-seling (separately), or I'm movingout until you're ready to help meresolve this issue." Separation maybe what it takes to open his eyes tohis behavior and to stimulate somebadly needed self-examination onhis part. Naturally, you’ll want tomake sure that your support sys-tem is in place and that you actu-ally have a safe place to go—thehome of a friend, family member,or neighbor—before you put thematter to him in these terms. Layyour plans, line up your resources,and make your arrangementsprior to packing your bags andwalking out the door. In the meantime, you may wantto have a conversation with an at-torney—not to talk about divorce,but simply to gather informationabout your options. Among otherthings, find out what’s involved inarranging a legal separation. In

many cases, a temporary separa-tion is exactly what’s needed in asituation like yours. Marriages getstuck in deadly ruts when spousesbecome blind to the hurtful natureof their words and actions. If sepa-ration is what it takes to open yourhusband’s eyes and stimulatesome self-examination on his part,then so be it. An abuser can some-times be persuaded to make achange if his partner has thecourage to bring about a crisis inthe relationship—in other words,to say, “I’ve had enough.” Before closing, perhaps it wouldbe helpful to say a few words aboutthe underlying causes of abuse andlist some of the identifying marksof genuinely “abusive” speech andbehavior. Domestic abuse is almostalways a technique for gaining andmaintaining control. An emotionalabuser keeps others under histhumb by blaming and shaming.He uses name-calling, swearing,and other forms of contemptuousspeech to convince his partner thatshe is unworthy of better treat-ment. In most cases he is highlymanipulative, displays narcissistictendencies, and flatly refuses to ac-knowledge any personal responsi-bility for difficulties in themarriage. If any of this sounds fa-miliar, you are more than justifiedin taking whatever steps are nec-essary to reverse the situation. Agood counselor can help you recog-nize to what extent you may havebecome brainwashed by yourspouse’s behavior and thus lulledinto a state of resignation andsilent acceptance of your lot.
