by Chastity Julson South Dakota senators JohnThune and Mike Rounds are ap-plauding the passage of theEvery Child Achieves Act (ECAA)of 2015, a bill that updates theNo Child Left Behind (NCLB)legislation that was signed intoeffect in early 2002. New Under-wood Superintendent GeorgeSeiler notes that while this billdoes take power from the federalgovernment and give it back tothe state and local governments,parents and students can expectto see little change in the practi-cal application of the legislation,at least for the 2015-16 schoolyear. Annual testing of students andsome form of annual teacherevaluation will be retained underthe ECAA. However, rewards andsanctions attached to the annualtesting will come from the state,not from the federal government.The ECAA also strengthensmeasures that bar the federalgovernment from establishing aparticular curriculum, test, or setof standards, putting the powerto determine these educationalelements in the hands of thestate. This means that stateshave the ability to opt out of par-ticipating in the Common Corestandards that caused a greatdeal of fervor when they were im-plemented last year. According to Seiler, the SouthDakota state legislature could de-

cide in the next legislative ses-sion to adopt a new set of stateeducational standards. Seilersaid he hopes South Dakota doesnot choose to completely walkaway from the Common Corestandards, since any change instandards requires a great deal ofwork for educators as they firstdetermine new standards, thenhave to learn the new standardsand apply them in the classroom. The ECAA also does away withthe requirement that all teachersbe highly qualified. This is an ad-vantage for schools facing teachershortages, because it allowsschools to pull in experiencedpeople from the community whomight not have a teaching degreebut who are qualified to teach ina certain subject area. For in-stance, if a school needs a busi-ness teacher, the school would beable to find a qualified busi-nessperson in the community tofill the position, even if that per-son is not certified as a teacher,Seiler said. Another change in the ECAAfrom NCLB is that music and artwere recognized in the Act as coresubjects. This emphasis differsfrom recent years, when mathe-matics, science and English lan-guage arts were seen as core, andmusic and art programs sufferedcuts to their budgets as schoolsworked to improve performancein the areas that were addressedin the annual tests.

Child D At long last, four days past herestimated due date, Child Dgraced us with her presence. She came into the world purpleand screaming. Her little crysounded very much like an angrylamb. “Mmmmaaa! Mmmmaaa!”I took note because Child B lovesthe story of each of his siblings’first cries. Child A has predicted that theNew Baby, as she was heretoforeknown, would be a girl since weannounced her expected arrivalmonths ago. Child B has stub-bornly held out hope for abrother. Child C was blissfullyunaware that her world wasabout to change. When we left for the hospitalon Saturday afternoon, Child Acould not understand why wewould not take everyone along tothe hospital to watch the NewBaby “pop out.” Sunday morning I waited untilI was certain Children A-C wouldbe awake. No point in makingGrandma deal with grouchy chil-dren. I spoke with Child A first. Me: Chaisie, it’s Mama. Thenew baby popped out. It’s a girl! Child A: Oh! Great! Did youknow Grandma stayed here lastnight? Me: Yep. Is that fun? Child A: Yeah. Me: We named the new babyCherish, so now you have a newsister named Cherish. Child A: The new baby is a girl?Oh. Then you had better tellPiers. I could hear the phone chang-

ing hands, and Child B said hello. Me: Hey, buddy. How are you? Child B: Grunt Me: Guess what? The new babyis a girl. Child B: Oh. You, come home? I assured him that we would behome the next day, and thatDaddy would bring him and hissisters to get Child D and mefrom the hospital. There was a great deal of kiss-ing and hugging all around whenthey came to collect us. Child Adecided she should be the mother,and I could be an aunt. Child Bthought Child D was neat, but healso was enamored of the move-able bed. Child C was excited tosee Mom, and fascinated by thebaby. Home again. Child A continuesto be an expert older sister, burp-ing Child D, holding her, compos-ing poems and songs for her.Child C surprised us. This littlegirl, so rough and tumble and anaccident waiting to happen, is in-credibly gentle and loving withher baby. From the moment she awakesin the morning, Child C is on thelookout for “Bay-bee.” If Child Dis still sleeping, Child C passesher toys through the crib slats.Child C, herself dependent on apacifier (a bad parenting move onmy part), tries to shove a pacifierin Child D’s mouth, nose, earsand eyes every chance she gets.

“Hey, bay-bee” and “Hi, you” arefrequently heard at high velocityfrom Child C. When she waspraying for dinner the day afterwe brought Child D home, ChildC babbled, then mentioned eachof us, then said “Bay-bee” numer-ous times, pointing to the crib.Just in case God was unaware ofChild D. We, the parental units, are ad-justing and trying to navigate thechaos. We keep reminding our-selves that it will be diapers andfeedings this week, and driver’slicenses and college next week. Child B? He who wanted abrother? On the first day webrought her home, Child B ap-proached Child D. “Hi, New Baby.Head, so soft. Me kiss it.” Gently,sweetly, he gave Child D a slew ofkisses. Then he was off. Fifteenminutes later, he returned. “NewBaby, are boy, or girl,” he queried.“She’s a girl.” He shook his head,not satisfied with my response.“New Baby, need be boy. Me needsomeone, play wif me.” Child A interjected here. Shehas been puzzled by the presenceof both the remaining baby bellyand the new baby – shouldn’tMom’s belly be flat now? “Well,Piers, there is another new babyin Mom’s tummy. That one can bea brother for you.” Oops. Betterstraighten her out right away.That, dear child, is how rumorsstart.

Our Home Away From HomeIt seems like just yesterday we

were gathering in Hot Springs tobreak ground for our new veter-ans’ home.

All of the contractors and ourstaff have been working dili-gently to ensure the facilitywould be ready to open in early2016. Thankfully, we have had agreat team executing this projectand I am pleased to announcethat we are three months aheadof schedule! Yes, that’s right –ahead of schedule!

If all goes as planned, we willget the keys to the new facility onor about the first of Novemberand anticipate moving our heroesinto their new home the middle ofNovember.

Our new Veterans’ Home is133,000 square foot stacked two-story building with 52 skilled and48 nonskilled beds. The townsquare will be the heart of socialactivity within the eight neigh-borhoods. As the home’s Main Av-enue, residents will gather therefor social interaction with eachother as well as visit the barber/beauty shop, post office, phar-macy, chapel, or to have a sand-

wich at the bistro. This new home is designed to

support the natural patterns ofhome life. Residents have accessto home living spaces such as akitchen, dining room and livingroom.

Veterans, female and male,love living at the Michael J. Fitz-maurice Veterans’ Home. Justvisit sometime and you’ll knowwhat I mean. From the momentyou walk through the doors, youknow you are in a place that trulyhonors service. Most are in their80s and 90s and served their timein World War II, Korea or Viet-nam.

We plan to have an open houseand showcase our new home inearly spring of 2016. We want ourheroes to get settled in and ad-justed to their new neighborhoodculture prior to inviting ourguests in.

Let us never forget the humblemen and women who understandthe call of duty, the meaning ofhonor and values of this nation.They did not serve for glory orfame. They served to preserveour way of life.

New Body Weight PlannerTool Added to SuperTracker A few short statements that de-scribe someone wanting to loseweight include, “I’m going to“tighten my belt,” “watch myweight,” or “skinny down.” Forsome individuals losing weightmay seem overwhelming or com-plicated. The good news is thatthe U.S. Department of Agricul-ture (USDA) and National Insti-tutes of Health (NIH) haveteamed up to add the NIH BodyWeight Planner to the USDA’sSuperTracker. The new onlinetool (https://www.supertracker.usda.gov/bwp/) is free and helpsindividuals customize theirweight loss plans to a specifictime frame and assists withmaintaining weight loss after-ward. The Body Weight Planner wascreated to help consumersachieve a healthy lifestyle cus-tomized for their specific needs.The planner asks how, when andwhat kind of exercise you’ll incor-porate into your daily schedule,then calculates your caloric in-take with that activity. According to the NIH morethan two-thirds of U.S. adults areoverweight or obese. For individ-uals who are in the overweight or

obese category, losing even asmall weight can help lower risksof developing weight-relatedhealth problems such as heartdisease, stroke, type 2 diabetesand high blood pressure. The Body Weight Planner cor-responds with the Dietary Guide-lines for Americans key recom-mendations regarding managingweight. These include improveeating behaviors, staying active,and maintaining a healthy life-style. Utilizing credible, easy touse, research-based tools such asthe Body Weight Planner will in-crease your likelihood of main-taining new healthy habits for alifetime.

Fallen, Not ForgottenAs we enjoy the August

weather and all of our summeractivities, let us also rememberthe individuals who face the dan-gers of nature that hot and dryconditions can create.

Countless firefighters and firstresponders put their lives on theline to ensure we remain safe toenjoy our summer months.

We were all recently remindedof the incredible risks our fire-fighters face each and every day.On July 31, the U.S. Forest Serv-ice in South Dakota lost fire-fighter Dave Ruhl while he wasassisting in fighting the Frog Firein Alturas, Calif. Dave, a memberof the Rapid City community, leftbehind a wife and two children,along with other family membersand friends, in order to protectother families from harm.

Here in the Department of Ag,we have not remained untouchedby tragedies like these. The Wild-

land Fire Division within theSouth Dakota Department ofAgriculture employs many fire-fighters who join their counter-parts in other local, state and fed-eral agencies to respond to inci-dents and to help fight firesacross the country and evenCanada. In 2011, wildland fire-fighter. Trampus Haskvitz, HotSprings, died in the line of dutyfighting the Coal Canyon Firenear Edgemont.

It is important that we recog-nize the sacrifices firefightersmake and remember those whohave lost their lives in the line ofduty. The Wildland FirefighterFoundation serves as a way tohonor those who have been in-jured or killed while protectingour land, homes and property byproviding financial assistance totheir families. For more informa-tion about the foundation, go tohttp://www.wffoundation.org/ orcall 208-336-2996.

In rural areas where full-timeemergency personnel are oftennot available, volunteer roles arecritically important. Almost ayear ago, my home community inMarshall County said goodbye toa great friend, Donald A. “Bucko”Monsen, who died as the result ofa traffic accident. Bucko was afixture in the community and atrue public servant. He served asboth a volunteer first responderfor Britton and a volunteer fire-fighter in the Veblen area.

We are all fortunate to have in-dividuals like Dave, Trampusand Bucko looking out for us. Thenext time you see a firefighter orfirst responder, take a moment tosay “thank you” for their willing-ness to put their own life on theline in service to our communi-ties.

To our fallen, but not forgottenheroes, may you rest in peace.

S.D. Forensic Lab – SolvingCrime with Science

Like CSI and Forensic Files,South Dakota’s own forensic labwithin the Attorney General’s Of-fice employs state-of-the-art tech-nology to solve crime and to pro-tect the public. Ever since ThomasJennings became the first personin America convicted of murder onfingerprint evidence in 1911,forensic science has become in-creasingly central to criminal jus-tice in America.

Solving crime scientifically hasbeen part of the Attorney Gen-eral’s Division of Criminal Inves-tigation’s (DCI) mission since itsfounding in 1937, five years afterthe Federal Bureau of Investiga-tion created its first crime lab.Many cases in the early yearswere solved with fingerprint andballistics evidence. Further ad-vances in scientific crime detec-tion methods include: blood group-ing in the 1950s, Luminol blooddetection in the 1960s, gunshotresidue in the 1970s, and DNA inthe 1980s.

In 1976, then Attorney GeneralBill Janklow hired South Dakota’sfirst forensic lab director, IlyaZeldes. Zeldes’ one small room“lab” has grown along with ad-vances in scientific crime detec-tion methods. The lab is now astate-of-the-art, 17,518 square footfacility staffed by professionals ac-credited in such diverse forensicdisciplines as DNA/serology, fin-gerprints, crime scene processing,and firearms/toolmark and traceevidence. In 2014, the lab exam-ined 7,239 items of evidence, pro-vided testimony in dozens of crim-inal trials, and assisted law en-forcement across the state with

processing crime scenes.It was advanced DNA tech-

niques that helped the Lab iden-tify Donald Moeller as the perpe-trator of the murder and rape of anine-year-old girl with a certaintyof one in 14.8 billion. The lab alsomanages the South Dakota’s sexoffender and violent offender DNAdatabase, which experienced 76DNA matches in 2014. One recentDNA match assisted in the arrestof a previously “unknown” sexualperpetrator, based on a match ofhis DNA in the database.

DNA and other forensic evi-dence tell the tale of crimes forwhich there are no witnesses, andeven of a murder where there is amissing body. Although CatherineTornquist’s resting place ispresently unknown, telltale foren-sic evidence allowed prosecutorsand a jury to hold her son,Matthew, accountable for hermurder. Although he tried to scrubevidence from the scene of thecrime, Luminol detected a bloodtrail from Catherine’s bed to thetrunk of Matthew Tornquist’s car,

DNA on a bullet found in thetrunk matched the victim’s DNA,and ballistics testing matched thebullet to a gun in Matthew’s pos-session.

Even with impressive advancesin forensic science, some tried-and-true techniques of old proveuseful in modern times. In 1784,one of the first documented uses ofphysical matching convicted aman in England of murder basedon the torn edge of a wad of news-paper in a pistol that matched apiece remaining in his pocket.Flash forward to South Dakota in1996, when the torn end of ducttape used to bind a victimmatched a roll found in RobertLeroy Anderson's car, leading tohis conviction for kidnapping andmurder.

The lab will continue to play anessential role in efforts to combatfuture crime in South Dakota. Youmay rest assured that scientistsand lab staff are committed to de-veloping new, scientific crime-fighting methods that will keepSouth Dakotans safe.

This came via email to the NewUnderwood Post recently. Ithought it had some merit forthose little dabs of leftover paint.

Fun Uses For Leftover Paint

•Make kitchen items kitschy.It takes only a little leftover paintto impart canisters, coasters orthe handles of wooden spoonsand spatulas with bright, funcolor that can make cooking morejoyful.

•Colorize some flowerpots. Inthe same way, planters and flow-erpots can be decorated withpaint color. Paint them one solidcolor, or embellish them with pat-tern for more panache!

•Put a stamp on your walls.Add pizzazz to painted walls witha handcrafted patterned border.

•Speak with an accent. Ex-press your home’s individualityby adding accent color to a door,doorway or an entire wall. Theunexpected color will make your

interior something special.•Beautify a built-in. Embellish

built-in bookcases, cabinets or amantelpiece with leftover paintto create striking elements inyour décor.

•Stencil something. Using ahomemade or commercial stencil,apply paint to just about any-thing – a piece of furniture, a wallor even the floor.

•Make like an artist. Why buyart supplies, when you alreadyhave a handpicked palette of col-ors you like? Use them as is, ormix them as needed to create mu-rals or fine art.

•Frame your artwork. Repaintthe frames on your prints, paint-ings and drawings to give them afresh appearance. Or, paint asimulated “frame” right on thewall to draw attention to favoriteobjects or sculpture.

The Value Of Dual CreditCourses

Like other young SouthDakotans, Kelcie Hauf, DellRapids, is getting ready to headback to school. As a high schoolsenior, Kelcie is trying to decidewhich field to study when shegraduates. Rather than waituntil she gets to college to explorecareer options, Kelcie is partici-pating in the dual credit pro-gram. Because she is consideringa career in counseling, Kelcietook a dual credit introductoryspeech course last spring. Thisfall she will be utilizing the dualcredit program to take psychol-ogy 101 to explore that careerpath further. Dual credit courses allow stu-dents like Kelcie to simultane-ously earn high school and col-lege credit. At only $40 per credithour, these courses provide stu-dents and their families signifi-cant cost savings. These are thecheapest university or technicalschool credits a student will evertake, and they can save hundredsof dollars by taking just onecourse. Last year, South Dakotastudents saved more than $2.5million by using this program –averaging more than $1,000 perstudent in savings.

cides to pursue that career, he orshe has a jump start on a degree.Or perhaps a student wants totake a college algebra course notavailable at the local district. Heor she could take that coursefrom a state university. With dual credit, students takecollege-level courses while stillhaving the support of their localhigh school educators who canhelp them develop the skills theywill need, like stronger timemanagement and study skills. Infact, data shows that studentswho take dual credit do betterwhen they go on to college or atechnical institute – even afteradjusting for grade point aver-age, ACT scores and other per-formance indicators. Today, more than ever before,it’s important for young people tocontinue their education beyondhigh school. The escalating num-ber of people earning degrees andthe increasingly competitiveglobal economy require today’sworkforce to have greater skillsets and more education. Dualcredit can help prepare our stu-dents for that next step. Visit sdmylife.com to learnmore.

At a time when the cost of col-lege is a great concern, dualcredit courses are a great way tosave money. They also save time,making it more likely that stu-dents will graduate on time.Every dual credit course taken inhigh school is a course that neednot be taken in college. In its first year, this programhas been a tremendous success.Last year, 1,946 public, private,Bureau of Indian Education,tribal and homeschool studentsparticipated, with a pass rate of92.76 percent. Thirty-nine dis-tricts had at least one quarter oftheir juniors and seniors com-plete courses. Many students take dual creditcourses online, which providesgreater flexibility in scheduling.These courses also make dualcredit available to students whoare not near a university or tech-nical institute. Just as Kelcie is doing, stu-dents can explore their interestswith dual credit. A student whomight want to study robotics ormedical lab technology after highschool could take an introductorycourse from one of the state’stechnical institutes to try out theprogram before making a finaldecision. If the student then de-

Navigating the Federal Government

Every day, South Dakotansneed to interact directly withdozens of federal agencies. Maybeyou receive health care throughthe Veterans Administration orMedicare. Perhaps your family islooking to grow through an inter-national adoption, which requirescoordination with the U.S. StateDepartment. Maybe you receivebenefits from the Social SecurityAdministration or operate yourfamily business with a loan fromthe Small Business Administra-tion or have a CRP contract withthe U.S. Department of Agricul-ture. At some point or another,most of us will have to deal witha government agency. While wehope it goes smoothly and thatthey serve you with the respectyou deserve, we know it unfortu-nately doesn’t always turn outthat way. The federal government can bea very difficult, complicated, andconfusing organization to navi-gate. But that’s where my officecan help. We call it “casework”and I believe it’s one of the mostimportant functions of a congres-sional office.

Many times, we can help youwith a single phone call. We canalso help you find exactly who totalk to within an agency to saveyou time and frustration. Sometimes, the cases can bemore complicated than that, how-ever, and we are here to help youin those scenarios as well. If youcan’t get an answer from a federalagency or if you feel you’ve beentreated unfairly, we can make aformal inquiry or request infor-mation on your behalf. While wecannot guarantee a favorable out-come, we will do our best to helpensure you receive a fair andtimely response. This is our wayof ensuring the federal govern-ment remembers who it is ac-countable to – and that’s you. Last year alone, we helpedmore than 500 constituents navi-gate federal agencies through ourcasework. Please know our door isalways open to help. If you needimmediate assistance, please visitmy website at noem.house.gov orcall my office at 605-878-2868.
