Give us a Call the Prevention of Child Maltreatment By Sen. Mike Rounds In the United States Senate, much of our time is focused on crafting and debating legislation, attending committee meetings and making sure federal policies are working for South Dakota families. But we also spend a great deal of time helping South Dakotans who are having difficulties dealing with a federal agency. It is a lesserknown but equallyimportant service that allows us to act as a liaison between you and the federal government. Washington is so broken and our federal bureaucracy has grown so large that individual needs of American citizens are too often lost in a sea of red tape. Our goal is to work with federal agencies to identify your issue and fix it. Over the past two years, working with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) on behalf of South Dakota veterans has been the most common situation we’re asked to help with. We have assisted countless South Dakota veterans navigate the Veterans Choice Act and other VA programs here in South Dakota, while simultaneously seeking changes to federal policy that will improve the care they receive under the current law. We also work frequently with the VA to obtain overdue medals and awards for veterans and their families. I have been able to present a few of those medals to South Dakota veterans firsthand as I’ve traveled around the state. It is a very special honor to recognize these vets, with their family and friends in attendance, and say thank you to them for their service to our country. In addition to helping veterans get the benefits and services they have been promised, we have also been able to bring families together by helping individuals get visas or expedited passports. We also help people access social security benefits, file tax returns, work with the Indian Health Service (IHS) and make sure that federal agencies are treating citi- zens fairly and with the respect and attention they deserve. I am very proud of the work we are doing to help South Dakotans who feel like they have been left behind by the federal government and have nowhere else to turn. Our South Dakota offices are located in Sioux Falls, Pierre, Rapid City and Aberdeen. Our staff members who handle casework are available every week day, either in person, by phone or by email. You can find the contact information for our offices on my website, www.rounds. senate.gov. My team works closely together across the state and in Washington, and we strive to provide a timely response to everyone who contacts us, particularly if it is an urgent matter in which we are able to intervene. We take our work on behalf of South Dakotans very seriously, and I am pleased that we’ve been able to help so many constituents already since setting up our office two years ago. Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you are experiencing difficulty dealing with a federal agency. We are here to help. TRUCK DRIVERS S&S Express is hiring Company Drivers & Owner Operators.

COMPANY DRIVERS PAID OFF ODOMETERS ALL MILES PAID BASE MILEAGE PAY + BONUSES HOME WEEKENDS PAID WEEKLY VERMILLION, S.D. – The newly created Center for the Prevention of Child Maltreatment, an organization formed at the University of South Dakota to implement the work plan produced by Jolene’s Law Task Force and Coalition, has hired a director, Carrie Gonsor Sanderson. She will direct and coordinate activities at the Center, including work to prevent and respond to child sexual abuse and child maltreatment in South Dakota. Gonsor Sanderson previously worked as an Assistant United States Attorney in the United States Attorney’s Office in Pierre, South Dakota. She earned three degrees from the University of South Dakota: Bachelor of Arts in English and Spanish, Master of Public Administration, and Juris Doctor. “The Center was developed to continue the excellent work of the Jolene’s Law Task Force and Coalition, improving our state’s capacity to prevent and respond to child maltreatment,” said Michael Lawler, dean of the University of South Dakota School of Health Sciences and a member of the Jolene’s Law Task Force and Coalition. “Ms. Sanderson is deeply committed to the health and wellbeing of South Dakota, and her legal expertise will add a great deal to the new Center. We are all eager to work with her.” South Dakota State Senator Deb Soholt served as chair of the Jolene’s Law Task Force (JLTF). The Sioux Falls legislator and her colleagues on the task force spent three years creating a work plan to address and prevent sexual abuse of children. “JLTF created a ten-year plan to change the trajectory of child sexual abuse in SD through the development of the Center for the Prevention of Child Maltreatment at USD,” explained Soholt. “We are simply delighted that someone the caliber of Ms. Sanderson has accepted the director position. Her education and experience are exactly the right fit to move this important work forward, and she will be an incredible statewide leader in this effort to save our children.” The Jolene’s Law Task Force and Coalition was created to study the impacts of child sexual abuse in South Dakota, and the Center for the Prevention of Child Maltreatment will carry on the work of the task force and coalition. The University of South Dakota School of Health Sciences is home to the new Center. USD’s School of Health Sciences, possessing experts in relevant fields such as social work, nursing, physician assistants, public health, occupational therapy, physical therapy, and counseling, and with access to other relevant USD expertise in medicine, law, business, education, and psychology, is an ideal setting for the new organization.
