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 />
