culture and a great way to travel<br />

the world without leaving your<br />

home.<br />

There is no “typical” American<br />

host family and Ayusa welcomes all<br />

interested families, with or without<br />

children, from both urban and<br />

rural communities. Host families<br />

provide three meals a day and a<br />

bedroom (either private or shared).<br />

Each student is supported by a professionally<br />

trained community representative<br />

from Ayusa who works<br />

with the family and student for the<br />

entire program. All host families<br />

must pass a criminal background<br />

check and a home visit by an Ayusa<br />

representative.<br />

Ayusa has been a member of the<br />

Council on Standards for International<br />

Educational Travel (CSIET)<br />

for more than 25 years – since its<br />

foundation. CSIET evaluates U.S.based<br />

youth exchange programs so<br />

that students, families and schools<br />

can identify inbound and outbound<br />

reputable exchange organizations.<br />

Ayusa is a 501(c)3, and an official<br />

U.S. Department of State designated<br />

Exchange Visitor Program<br />

Sponsor. Families interested in<br />

Read Matthew 6:9-13<br />

Jesus Christ gave His followers a pattern for prayer<br />

that includes seeking forgiveness daily. The invitation<br />

The God Who Forgives to regular repentance is not a means of renewing our<br />

salvation, but rather a maintenance plan for our fellowship<br />

with the Lord. When we trust Jesus as our Savior, our sins are forgiven forever. The stains from our<br />

past, present, and future wrongs are wiped from our record; however, we're a fallen people so we do continue<br />

to commit sin.<br />

With the exception of Jesus Christ, no person is perfect. Sin is simply a fact of human life. The Lord's<br />

payment for our transgressions means that we can look forward to an eternity spent in God's presence<br />

instead of getting the punishment we deserve. On this side of heaven, though, we still have to contend<br />

with our tendency to do wrong--and we must also deal with the consequences. The Lord's admonition to<br />

seek daily forgiveness is a reminder to confess our sins and turn away from them because we are forgiven.<br />

God's grace is not a license to sin; instead, it's a reason to pursue righteousness. Bad attitudes, thoughtless<br />

actions, and unkind speech do not fit who we are as children of light. We're new creatures in Christ,<br />

bought for a price and set free to live as partakers of His grace.<br />

Salvation makes a way for us to enter God's presence, while regular confession and repentance keep<br />

the pathway well maintained and free of obstruction (1 John 1:9). The so-called "sinner's prayer" need be<br />

said only once, but a saint will tap into God's forgiveness every day of his or her life.<br />

Letter to<br />

the Editor<br />

Dear Editor,<br />

Count your bedrooms: Once we<br />

have turned over the needs of<br />

Kadoka to those nice state employees<br />

from the Central South Dakota<br />

Enhancement District [EPA] who<br />

come down from Pierre to sell<br />

“Comprehensive Planning” we may<br />

get surprises. I witnessed one such<br />

event in Nebraska while there.<br />

That “Comprehensive Plan” was on<br />

the county level.<br />

In my opinion, once adopted the<br />

important folks in the area who do<br />

not enjoy any outsider visitor dollars<br />

exercised a long standing<br />

grudge - mainly against Colorado<br />

people. Many from the Denver area<br />

like the hundred miles of sandy<br />

beaches and 30 mile long Lake Mc-<br />

Conaughy north of Ogallala, NE.<br />

As some of my relatives and friends<br />

have found you seem to get extra<br />

“police protection” if your car bears<br />

a Colorado license plate.<br />

Many Colorado folks vacation at<br />

an installation called North Shore<br />

a half mile south of our previous<br />

home. North Shore along Lake Mc-<br />

Conaughy was founded by Sue Jordan,<br />

recently of Kadoka, and her<br />

deceased husband. Over the years<br />

it grew to a complex of over 160 vacation<br />

homes, a restaurant, a marina,<br />

motel and campground. Boat<br />

launching facilities are also available.<br />

Once the “Plan” was in place,<br />

the locally elected officials decided<br />

that the complex had to have a centralized<br />

sewage disposal system.<br />

The bureaucratic rules that dictate<br />

“one size fits all” had to be followed.<br />

“Big Brother’s” whim<br />

determined those needs be based<br />

on the number of bedrooms in the<br />

complex - about 400 of them.<br />

Sewage space had to be determined<br />

on the basis of two people in each<br />

bedroom 365 days a year. In real<br />

life those bedrooms for the most<br />

part are in use, if at all, only on<br />

weekends or short vacations of a<br />

week or two in the summer.<br />

The result was still being built<br />

close to our home when we left. It<br />

is a three stage monster sewer lagoon<br />

which had to be plastic lined<br />

due to possible leaching in the<br />

sandy soil. The sewage has to be<br />

pumped. It works on an evaporative<br />

basis as it cannot be vented<br />

due possible pollution of springs<br />

above Lake McConaughy on the<br />

hill below North Shore. All three<br />

stages were to have a labor intensive<br />

water level maintained in<br />

them year around.<br />

North Shore lost a lot of beautiful<br />

old trees to new sewer lines as<br />

well as some tenants. Operational<br />

costs are higher. Along with business<br />

losses, the taxpayers are the<br />

losers. The environmental engineers<br />

of Schumacher, Paul & Nor<br />

and bonded outside certified contractors<br />

did OK. The bureaucrats<br />

from EPA are probably pointing to<br />

it as a fine example of protecting<br />

the people’s health and safety.<br />

Kadoka’s situation is different.<br />

However, how many surprises will<br />

be discovered when the pristine<br />

rock of Comprehensive Planning is<br />

turned over?<br />

How many bedrooms does<br />

Kadoka have?<br />
