August 16, 2012

By GovernorDennis Daugaard

I wrote a couple of weeks agoabout the good news on our statebudget. South Dakota closed itsfiscal year on June 30, 2012, in theblack, with revenues exceeding ex-

penses by $47.8 million. As re-quired by law, that amount wastransferred to the Budget Reserve,which brings our total rainy dayfunds to 11.2 percent of currentspending.

The next Legislature will be ableto decide whether to save or spendthose dollars. A major reason forthis result is that South Dakotaseconomy has recovered from therecession more quickly than wasprojected. Some might argue that,because of this strong economicnews, we should be quick to spendthe new money.

I take a more cautious approachbecause of potential threats on thehorizon. One important threat isthe federal budget. The BudgetControl Act passed by Congresslast fall created a "Super Commit-tee" charged with finding a partialsolution to unsustainable federaldeficit spending. Because the com-

mittee failed to agree on a plan,automatic spending cuts of $1.2trillion over 10 years will take ef-fect beginning January 2, 2013.

The spending cuts contemplatednext year total $120 billion. It isimportant to note that the recentdeal in Congress to further delay abudget agreement until after theelection does not delay, in any way,these automatic cuts.

Necessary federal cutswill cost South Dakota

Congress needs to reduce spend-ing. Federal spending this fiscalyear will total more than $3.627trillion. Federal revenue will total$2.456 trillion. The federal govern-ment is spending $1.171 trillionmore than it receives this year,

and the national debt currentlystands at $15.9 trillion.I find it hard to wrap my mind

around trillions of dollars but ifyou remove some zeros, you cantranslate the federal budget sce-nario into your household budget:

Your income stands at $24,560 peryear. Your expenses total $36,270per year. That means you arespending $11,710 more than youare earning in a year, and addingthat debt to your credit card. Andthe debt on your credit card is al-ready $159,100.

The total cuts being proposed fornext year would be only $1,200from this households spending.Thats an important first step, butyou can see its a long way fromsolving the problem.

In order to balance the federalbudget, Congress and the Presi-dent need to trim more than $1trillion from annual spending.

The automatic cuts are just $120billion. And even if they cut $1 tril-lion in spending and balance thebudget, that would do nothing tomake a dent in the nearly $16 tril-lion federal debt.

Other governors have called onCongress to delay making anycuts, because they are concernedabout the effect on their states. Idont think we can wait much

longer, though. Although I'm con-cerned about federal cuts to SouthDakota, I'm more concerned aboutour nation's future if we don't getour budget under control. I willwork with our congressional dele-gation to make sure South Dakota

is treated fairly, but every statemust do its share.South Dakota's share of the cuts

that are scheduled for Januarywould be about $46 million a year.That is only 2.6 percent of the fed-eral funding our state receives, butit would be a sizable amount to re-place. Our state policymakers willhave decide whether to allow thesefederal programs to be shut downor scaled down, or whether to keepthem going with state tax rev-enues.

A cut of $46 million in federalfunds to South Dakota could onlybe the first step. The current re-duction contemplated in theBudget Control Act is a drop in thebucket compared to what needs tobe done. If Congress made enoughcuts to balance the federal budget,it would cost South Dakotasbudget an estimated $383 millionper year.

Being $47.8 million in the blackthis year wont protect SouthDakota from the tough decisionsthat need to be made in Washing-ton, D.C., during the next severalyears. We need to be prepared forwhat has to happen. Although$47.8 million is a large sum, it istruly paltry in the context of thefiscal challenges facing our nationin the years ahead.

Back-to-school season is theideal time for families to reestab-lish routines and get organized --both at home and on the go. Butbefore hitting the stores for sup-plies, take time to plan ahead withshopping lists that meet both yourchildrens and your familys needs.

There are many great tips tohelp get a fresh start on the aca-demic year ahead:

SavIf you have more than one child,

or want to stock up for the year,save on items like glue sticks,notebooks and writing utensils bytaking advantage of sales and pur-chasing value packs, which areeasy to find at back-to-school time.For better deals on items like tis-sues and sanitizing wipes, hold offuntil you are also buying theseproducts for the home at a ware-

Get the whole family organized at back-to-school timehouse club or with coupons.

Tach OrganizationTeach kids the importance of

starting the day organized. Oneway to simplify the morning shuf-fle is by assigning a color to eachchild for easy identification ofbinders, backpacks and pencilpouches. Assign colors before shop-ping to prepare for easier in-aisledecisions. Five Star products(www.meadfivestar.com), for ex-ample, are available in a variety ofon-trend patterns and basic solidcolor options to complement andcontrast styles. Or use color-codedstickers and labels to maintainconsistency.

Synchroniz SchdlsThe school year often brings ad-

ditional commitments for families.Creating a mission control in acentral location in the home will

improve communication and easethe stress of time management.

Look for calendars with highfunctionality like meal planners,look-ahead features, magneticbackings and repositionable peel-and-stick adhesives. Dont forget toinclude a white board or corkboard where notes can be left forone another.

Student planners are crucial tohelp your children stay on top ofdue dates, keep their own commit-ments and operate on the sameschedule as the rest of the family.

Vow to spend time on a weeklybasis reviewing and synching cal-endars and discussing the weekahead.

Manag PaprsWith each new school year

comes an overwhelming amount ofhandouts, reminders, permission

slips and medical forms. Parentsand children all benefit from apaper management system. Usebins, expanding files and binderdividers with reminder flags tokeep track of priorities. Flag itemsneeding immediate attention --whether its homework or paper-work.

If your children have busyschedules, make it easier for themto work on the go. Opt for binderswith writing surfaces, internalstorage pockets for loose paper andplaces to stash pens and pencils.

And you can do the same. Considerusing binders and expanding filesin the car to create a place for last-minute notes, papers and storage.

With a little planning and cre-ativity, the whole family can pre-pare to stay organized throughoutthe school year.

A valuable resource for familiesand individuals in difficult eco-nomic circumstances, the Bridge toBenefits website (www.sdbridgeto-benefits.com) has been just beenupdated. Developed by SouthDakota Voices for Children in part-nership with the Childrens De-fense Fund of Minnesota, the sitenow includes the latest eligibilityrequirements for benefit pro-grams.

Research that shows poverty asthe single greatest threat to chil-drens well-being prompted devel-opment of the Bridge to Benefits

site. Living in poverty can con-tribute to social, emotional and be-havioral problems among childrenas well as poor physical and men-tal health. Risks are greatest forchildren who experience povertywhen they are young and/or facedeep and persistent poverty.

On the other hand, economic se-curity, safe, affordable housing,health care, nutrition and qualityeducation all help children toflourish. Tax credits and benefitprograms were created as a step

Avengers never did get shown. Forall the warm beautiful evenings inthe past, this night was extremely

windy and chilly. We were sittingoutside shivering, and it started tolightning and rain, so we werenttoo unhappy when they couldntget the second movie to show.Noah was the only one who hadnever seen it, as the rest of us had.I had seen it twice. On the wayhome, Carla saw her first real liveMountain Lion, as one ran acrossthe road in front of the car.

FALL HELP NEEDED!

QueSTION: It seems like therearen't enough hours in the day to doall that needs to be done. What withworking and maintaining a house-hold it's difficult to spend qualitytime with my kids. What do youthink I should do? ANSweR: You may have moretime than you realize. If not, it's cru-cial that you put out an effort to findor make some.

A few years ago family expertswere preaching that what's impor-tant is "quality time," not "quantitytime." More recent research showsthat kids need both "quality" and"quantity" time with their parents.In fact, the more involved parentsare with their children, the lesslikely they are to have social, emo-tional or academic problems, usedrugs or alcohol, become involved incrime or engage in premarital sex.

Without more detailed informa-tion about your family situation it'shard to know exactly how to adviseyou. But your inquiry leads us to be-lieve that you may need to re-exam-ine your priorities. You can begin byasking yourself a few simple ques-

tions. Is your employment outsidethe home a matter of providing forbasic needs, or are you driven by ma-terialistic desires or a longing forpersonal significance? Are there anyaspects of "maintaining a household"that you can afford to sacrifice? Doyou attach a greater value to statusor appearance than to the well-beingof your kids? After all, a spotlesshome isn't nearly as important as aclose relationship with your chil-dren. As an anonymous poet haswritten:

For when at times I'm forced tochoose

The one job or the other,I'd like to cook and clean and scrub,

But first I'll be a mother.Another suggestion: one of the

easiest ways to make more time foryour kids is to turn off the TV. In theaverage American home, the televi-sion is on 49 hours a week. By wayof contrast, the average amount oftime that both parents spend inmeaningful conversation with theirchildren is 39 minutes a week. Ifyou're serious about wanting moretime with your kids, make the obvi-ous choice. Instead of watching TV,read to them, play board games to-gether, take a walk to a local park orjust talk to them.

It's also important to avoid thetemptation to get your kids overlyinvolved in activities outside thehome. Some parents feel pressure tosign their children up for numeroussports teams, music and dance les-sons, social clubs and all kinds ofcommunity organizations. Don't fall

prey to this mindset. Kids don't needa dozen different weekly activities.They need quality and quantity timewith loving, involved and committedparents. QueSTION: I've received a lot ofconflicting answers to the followingquestion: is the quality of time Ispend with my family more impor-tant than the quantity? What do yousay? ANSweR: We don't think so. Afew years ago family experts werepreaching that what's important is"quality time," not "quantity time."More recent research shows thatkids need both "quality" and "quan-tity" time with their parents. In fact,the more involved parents are withtheir children - and the word "more"here is used with direct reference tothe concept of quantity - the lesslikely they are to have social, emo-

tional, or academic problems, usedrugs or alcohol, become involved incrime, or engage in premarital sex.

You have to bear in mind that it'snot always possible to plan meaning-ful interactions between parent andchild. Such serendipitous momentscan't be cooked up and crammed intoa few minutes of "quality time" everyday. Many critical opportunities toteach or model moral values maycatch you off-guard and will be gonein the blink of an eye. You can't seizethe moment if you're not there to dothe seizing. And that means spend-ing lots of "quantity" time togetherwith your kids.

Without more detailed informa-tion about your family situation it'shard to know exactly what else totell you. But your inquiry leads us tobelieve that you may need to re-ex-amine your priorities. The very factthat you're thinking in terms of"quality" vs. "quantity" indicates

that you're looking to justify spend-ing smaller amounts of time withyour family. Is this supposition any-where near the truth?

If you're not sure, you can put thematter to the test by asking yourselfa few simple questions. Is your em-ployment outside the home a matterof providing for basic needs, or areyou driven by materialistic desiresor a longing for personal signifi-cance? Are there any aspects of"maintaining a household" that youcan afford to sacrifice? Do you attacha greater value to status or appear-ance than to the well-being of thepeople with whom you share yourlife? After all, a spotless home isn'tnearly as important as a close rela-tionship with your spouse and chil-dren.

Another suggestion: one of theeasiest ways to make more time forloved ones is to turn off the TV. Inthe average American home, the tel-evision is on 49 hours a week. Byway of contrast, the average amountof time that both parents spend inmeaningful conversation with theirchildren is 39 minutes a week. If youneed more time with your spouseand your kids, make the obviouschoice. Instead of watching TV, readtogether, play board games together,take a walk to a local park, or sit andtalk.

If you have children, it's also im-portant to avoid the temptation toget them overly involved in activitiesoutside the home. Some parents feelpressure to sign their children up fornumerous sports teams, music anddance lessons, social clubs, and allkinds of community organizations.Don't fall prey to this mindset. Kidsdon't need a dozen different weeklyactivities. They need quality andquantity time with loving, involved,and committed parents.

by Cornelius R. Stam"In hope of eternal life,

which GOD, WHO CANNOTLIE, PROMISED..." (Tit. 1:2).

In the Mediterranean Seathere lies an island which inPaul's day had a very badreputation. It's name isCrete. To Titus, a pastor sentto evangelize the inhabi-tants, the Apostle Paulwrote: "One of themselves,

even a prophet of their own,said. The Cretians are al-ways liars..." (Tit. 1:12), andhe added: "This witness istrue" (Ver. 13). Paul knewthis to be a fact, for he hadlabored among them. In-deed, even secular historybears witness to this trait ofthe Cretians, for we are toldthat in ancient times to call aman a Cretian was to callhim a liar.

How wonderful that St.Paul had succeeded in es-tablishing a few small Chris-tian assemblies on this is-land and that Titus was nowlaboring there as his succes-sor! And how reassuring thatto Titus and these few believ-ers, surrounded on everyhand by people who couldnot be trusted, Paul could

write about "eternal life,which God, who cannot lie,promised"!

"God is not a man, that Heshould lie; neither the son ofman, that He should repent:hath He said, and shall Henot do it? or hath He spokenand shall He not make itgood?" (Num. 23:19).

Thank God, millions havetrusted His Word, especially

about salvation through theall-sufficient and finishedwork of redemption wroughtby Christ at Calvary, andthey have found it to beblessedly true.

In dozens of passages ofScripture God has promisedeternal life to those who trustin Christ and His payment forsin. "Christ died for our sins"(I Cor. 15:3). "[He] was deliv-ered for our offences andwas raised again for our jus-tification" (Rom. 4:25). "Hethat believeth on the Sonhath everlasting life" (John3:36). "Believe on the LordJesus Christ, and thou shaltbe saved" (Acts 16:31). TakeHim at His Word; His prom-ise is good. "GOD, WHOCANNOT LIE, PROMISED."

Sunday morning gratitude forthe blessings of the morning! It iscool, sweatshirt cool; translating to60ish degrees. It just feels good!Morning clouds to the east and tothe west, big puffy guys withWasta in the middle.

Last night we thought for cer-tain that two big dark clouds fromeast and west would converge andgive Wasta a needed downpour butas we watched the potential for thedownpour went quickly off to the

south. Maybe my Gursen cousinswest of Martin were beneficiary ofmuch needed moisture. As for uson the front porch of the Old Hotelat Wasta, we didnt even get a goodspit!

As promised the friend of Lloydsfrom Custer grade school days ar-rived Monday afternoon from Cal-ifornia. Long time good friends arealways enjoyable, easy to be withand dont embarrass you with, yesyou just told me...!!

Boyd Simonson has enjoyed theRally for several years but recentlydecided that as geezerhood wasupon him he would sell his motor-cycle but come to visit by car dur-ing the Rally. A visit to Sturgis fort-shirts, time with Mary Jones(friend fo Boyds mother) in Quinnand her son Kelly, a must trip toCuster to say hello to Jack andJoyce OConnor and a relaxing situpon the front porch for a glass ofwine and evening viewing of thetraffic interstate and Wasta.

A friendly appearing fellowcoasted by on his motorcycle, giv-ing us a wave and a cheerful grin.Within minutes we heard tiressqueal and then a THAWACK!Lloyd and friend Boyd said anUh-oh and jumped in his car andtook off in the direction of the high-way leading to the interstate en-trance going east. Under the overpass on the east side of the road,lay the motorcycle with the riderbetween the guard rail and theconcrete support pillar. 911 wascalled, sheriff, highway patrol, am-bulance, fire truck and ultimatelyLife Flight came and flew the in-

jured rider away. We dont knowhis name, he appeared to be badlyhurt, but so far have not heard onthe news that there was a fatalityat Wasta.

It is so hard to get my mindaround the quickness, the sadness.It has been a sort of mantra to saythe last two years. None of usknow how much time we have onthis earth and that certainly wasbrought home Wednesday, the 8thof August, 2012.

Our thoughts and prayers arewith him and his loved ones andwe hope to hear he is doing well,this fellow with the friendly grinand wave.

Speaking of the Rally, were wespeaking of the Rally?

A former guests of the hotelstopped by Friday morning to sayhello. Brent Buzz Moermondfrom Winchester, Ohio stayed herein 2005 with his brother Lonnieand friend Willa. They were hereenough days to become acquaintedand to enjoy coffee visits in themorning and front porch talks at

night. In 2007, Brent and friendKelly returned for another severalday stay that we enjoyed so much.

This year, Brent and friendDaryl Wright from Sardinia, Ohio,stopped during their Rally vaca-tion for a good catch up visit.How thoughtful of them to takethe time to stop. Thanks guys itwas appreciated. Hope to see themagain along with Kelly!

Dick and Gay Hadlock won theaward for most company in a sum-mer! Grandson Joshua McNeil andhis family, wife Natalie, daughters,Nadia, 4, and Karalynn, sevenmonths, and son Peter, 7, had awonderful time here in Wasta. A

surprise was daughter Melody whocame along! Gay said that the lit-tle ones were so good, even thoughthey had traveled so much. A tripto the Badlands and time withgrandparents was the agenda.Joshua and Natalie live inGainesville, Georgia and Melody(Hadlock) ONeil lives in DavisJunction, Illinois.

An additional surprise was fromTerry (Wenzel) and husband GaryRantela from Ocala, Fla., whohelped blow out candles on Gaysbirthday cake while everyone wasstill here! Happy Birthday!

A correction: Gay and Dicks for-mer daughter-in-law and visitorlater part of July, with Uncle LesEver, are from Cal-Nev-Ari, NE-

VADA not Arizona. I call ed themfour times and still got it wrong!

Thank you for your patience andsense of humor, Hadlocks.

We think we have a humming-bird sitting in Wasta. Faye Bryanspotted the little guy hovering overthe red monarda flowers at thenortheast edge of the hotels backyard (AKA Margee and Lloyds).We spent some happy moments ob-

serving the darts, dashes and occa-sionally buzzing the finch whowanted to share the tasty break-fast. The problem is with identifi-cation. It seemed to be over-all adrab light brown and very tiny -maybe not more than two and onehalf to three inches. Would wehave enjoyed it more had weknown its name? Probably not.

A brief description by HazelKalkbrenner of Heather Schellswedding it was wonderful! Startto finish great!

To be continued next weekHappy Trails!
