4 Broadcaster Press 1895 Shopping Small Can Have A Big Impact Utility – Livestock Trailer By Sen. John Thune Nearly everyone in America is familiar with Black Friday. It’s the unofficial start to the holiday shopping season, and with it often comes an early morning, long lines, and, depending on what you’re looking for, some pretty good deals. Black Friday is nearly synonymous with the big-box retailers that are able to stock their shelves and warehouses and offer the large and well-publicized deals we’re used to seeing on commercials between our favorite TV shows. Not only are shoppers happy with Black Friday deals, but the sales are a boon to the economy, and they help sustain a seasonal workforce who depends on the paycheck. While Black Friday has cemented its place in American shopping history, it’s the Saturday after Thanksgiving that’s quickly gaining its own notoriety. “Small Business Saturday,” as it’s become known, is a nationwide movement that encourages shoppers who brave the long and sometimes fiercely competitive lines on Black Friday to add Main Street’s small businesses to their holiday shopping routine as well. You don’t have to look far in South Dakota to find a small business since there are more than 80,000 of them across the state. You likely know someone who works at a small business, or perhaps you work Trailer Close-Out SALE! 500 & 990 Gallon FUEL trailers; 12 7,000 lb. Scissor lift trailers; 16 14,000 lb.

Small businesses represent 96 percent of all businesses in South Dakota, according to the U.S. Small Business Administration, and they employ nearly 60 percent of our workforce. It would be an understatement to say small businesses are the backbone of South Dakota’s economy. South Dakota is full of success stories, and if you’ve ever visited downtown Sioux Falls, I’m sure you’re familiar with one: Chef Chris Hanmer’s CH Patisserie. Chris, who is one of America’s top pastry chefs, opened his shop in 2013, and it’s quickly grown into a must-stop location in Sioux Falls. I’d challenge you to eat only one of his famous macarons – one is never enough. Chris and other small business owners like him not only have successful brick and mortar stores, but they’re also using the power of the Internet to connect with shoppers in other parts of the state and country and grow their business along the way. Small Business Saturday is a great opportunity to get out and support the local small businesses that are often the first ones to give back and support the communities in which they serve. For many entrepreneurs, to build a successful small business is to build a part of their community. We should celebrate their contributions on this Small Business Saturday and continue to support them every month of the year.

She has to do everything herself. She has been that way since she could barely crawl. I think about the first words she learned was, “Do it self,” because that was what she always said. One time when we were at church, she was standing in front of the water fountain, which was about a foot above her head. “Do you want some help to get a drink?” I asked. “Do it self,” she replied. She thought and thought and considered all options but could not figure out how to get a drink. She finally let me lift her up to the water. But the minute I went to push the bar that made the water come out, she said, “Do it self,” and pushed it on her own. In the church nursery, she was the same way. I opened the toy cupboard, and the toys were stacked on the shelves as they always were. “Which toy would you like, Millie?” I asked. She pointed to a bear that was a couple of feet above her head. I reached for it, and she said, “Do it self.” I rolled my eyes but left the bear where it was and started to hand toys to the other children. Millie stood on her tiptoes, but she was still nearly a foot short of reaching the bear. The other children started playing with their desired toys while Millie stared at the bear trying to figure a way to get it down. She took a small doll and laid it down on the floor stood on it. She still couldn’t reach the bear, and the doll underneath her feet rolled, and she fell. I reached down to help her up, and she said, “Do it self.” I sighed and let her stand up on her own. Millie looked around and saw a little stick that the children used to make a corral for the toy farm animals. She got the stick and took it over to the shelf and tried to reach the bear with it. She waved the stick, but it was about an inch short. She thought for a minute and then went and got the doll again. She stood on it and waved the stick, barely touching the bear, but it was enough to unbalance it so it fell off of the shelf onto the floor. I smiled. I had to admit that Millie was quite innovative. Some of the other children wanted us to do everything for them, even what they could do for themselves. But Millie’s attempts at doing everything for herself taught her to think. I realized this even more as the weeks went by. I watched as Millie became more and more clever in her ability to do everything. A month or two later, I was standing by the water fountain lifting each nursery child up to get a drink. When Millie came, knowing her temperament, I waited for her to ask. But she didn’t ask. Instead, she disappeared into a nearby classroom and came out dragging a child-size chair. She scooted it up next to the water fountain, climbed on it, and got her own drink. She didn’t bother returning the chair, so I did, but I marveled at her ingenuity. Sometime later that day I ran into Millie’s mother. I told her what I had observed about Millie over the last few months and what I had recently observed earlier that morning. “Have you also noticed that none of her clothes ever match?” Millie’s mother asked. “I haven’t,” I replied. “But that’s probably because I’m a man and don’t notice such things.” Millie’s mother sighed. “Well, they never do match because Millie insists on dressing herself. I’m considering removing all of her shirts and blouses and replacing them. And you know what they will say on them?” “What?” I asked. “They will say, ‘Mom loves me, but I dress myself.’” Deadline is 201 W.
