Dennis Daugaard: Christmas is a special time in South Dakota, and it was no less special in the 1880s. Laura Ingalls Wilder, author of The Little House on the Prairie series, lived on a homestead near De Smet, and wrote about Christmas in Dakota Territory in “The Long Winter.” Even if the train was unable to reach De Smet at Christmas time, Santa Claus always managed to find his way to the Ingalls household. In “The Long Winter,” which takes place in 1880, Laura and her family were faced with a tough, snowy winter, but they still took time to enjoy Christmas. Each of the girls had packages of Christmas candy. Pa got a pair of blue suspenders. Ma got a cardboard hair receiver. Mary got a roll of knitted lace. Carrie got a nice Christmas card in a frame. In addition to the presents, Pa bought two cans of oysters from the store and let the girls have the last of the cow’s milk – a cow they recently had to sell. Laura wrote that whatever happened, they always had a lovely Christmas. Today, in a time of greater abundance and spending, it might seem odd that something as simple as knitted lace could mean so much. But it reminds us that a gift is not measured by size or monetary value, but by the love with which it is given. Gifts made with a true and sincere heart, to those we love, are tokens of our deeper feelings. The story told by Laura Ingalls Wilder is also a reminder that the meaning of Christmas extends beyond the trappings of the holiday. Decorating the Christmas tree is fun. Receiving presents is enjoyable. So are hot cocoa, Christmas cookies and ham. But sharing our abilities and resources with those in need gives true meaning to Christmas. The man who shovels his neighbor’s driveway, the little girl who gives her allowance to the bell ringer and the church that opens its doors to someone without shelter – they are expressing the true spirit of Christmas. We’re all busy, especially during this time of year. But find time this Christmas, if only in a small way, to be a blessing to someone in need. I’m sure you won’t regret it. Don’t underestimate the immense value of your life and the difference you can make in the lives of those you touch. Merry Christmas! Government Entities Set Information Release Policy PIERRE, S.D. – Officials of the South Dakota Department of Public Safety and several local governmental entities statewide have implemented a three-day information release policy designed to meet the requirements of a new amendment to the South Dakota Constitution. “Marsy’s Law,” was approved by voters in the Nov. 8 election. The amendment provides certain rights for crime victims and their families. Victims have the right to ask that their information not be released to the public. Officials of DPS, Minnehaha County, Pennington County and the city of Sioux Falls have agreed to the new information release plan which addresses that requirement. Potential victims will be told by law enforcement that they have the right not to have their personal information released to the public. The new policy prohibits the release of the names of potential victims in any case for three calendar days so they have an opportunity to request the information not be released. If the victim does not make that specific request in that time frame, it will be released after three days. “This policy is designed to make sure that victims have a chance to have their pertinent information withheld if they wish,” says DPS Secretary Trevor Jones. “Marsy’s Law provides that protection and we need to meet that requirement.” Pennington County State’s Attorney Mark Vargo says the goal is to find a balance. “We want to make sure the victims have some time to make an informed decision, but we also want to get the information out to the media and other professions in a timely fashion,” he says. Many agencies did not release such information while the new amendment was under review. In the Department of Public Safety, access to the Office of Highway Safety’s Accident Records Reporting website had been suspended. The South Dakota Highway Patrol also could not release the names of those people involved in fatal or injury-related vehicle crashes. Other county and city agencies took similar steps for their respective departments. “We have been working to find a reasonable solution to this issue ever since the election,” says Minnehaha County Sheriff Mike Milstead. “This three-day policy is a good compromise.” Officials say their agencies are now working to implement the plan in their respective departments.
