I do like lemonade, but I think the biggest reason is that I have a fondness for children who have an entrepreneurial spirit, and I want them to succeed. That is why I stopped at one on my way home from work. There were three children there. The oldest girl was about ten, the next oldest girl was about eight, and the boy was probably six. When I stopped, the children became excited. I don’t know how many customers they had had that day, but for a country road, it had a fair amount of traffic, though it was definitely no city thoroughfare. The younger girl came running to me as I climbed out of my van. “Would you like a cup of lemonade?” I nodded. “In fact, I would like four of them, one for each person living at my home.” At the mention of four cups of lemonade, their excitement grew. She ran back to their little fold-up table to help with the order. As I approached the table, I could see that their sign not only said they had lemonade for fifty cents, but they had chocolate chip cookies for the same price. The oldest girl finished filling the last cup of lemonade and looked up. “Would you like a cookie, too? They’re only fifty cents.” The second oldest girl flipped her pigtails back from her face and said, “Or, if you want an even better deal, you can get four for two dollars.” “That’s not a better deal,” the oldest girl said. “That’s still fifty cents per cookie.” “It is, too, a better deal,” the younger girl retorted. “The person gets more cookies, and we get more money.” I couldn’t argue with that. “Did you make the cookies?” I asked. The oldest girl shook her head. “Our mother did. She doesn’t trust us selling anything we make except the lemonade.” “I’d love a cookie,” I replied. The girl reached under the table and pulled out a plastic tray. When she opened it, there were only crumbs. She gasped and turned to the little boy, who stood by silently with cookie crumbs and chocolate all over his face. “Ricky,” the girl said accusingly, “you ate all of the cookies.” “Nuh-uh,” he replied. “We sold one.” “Well, you ate all the rest,” the girl said. The oldest girl chimed in. “Ricky, how can we make any money if you eat everything we’re trying to sell?” “But it’s almost dinner time,” Ricky replied, “and I was hungry.” The mother must have heard the commotion, because she appeared, carrying a baby. “What’s the matter?” she asked. “Mom, Ricky ate all of the cookies,” the younger girl replied. “No, I didn’t,” Ricky said. “Well, all but one that we sold,” the oldest girl said. The mother smiled and turned to me. “If you can hang around a minute, I have a nice, hot batch in the oven.” I nodded. “For hot cookies, I can hang around.” She smiled again and went back into the house. I visited with the children, and the two girls extolled the virtues of their mother’s cookies. I laughed. “I’m sure I can take Ricky’s word on that, huh, Ricky?” He smiled an embarrassed smile and nodded. Soon the mother reappeared with a nice, warm bunch of cookies as promised. I told the children I would take four. I planned to wrap them in a napkin and be on my way. “But don’t you want to try one first?” the oldest girl said. “A sample is free.” I nodded. “I would like that.” I ate a cookie, and the chocolate just melted in my mouth. When I finished it, I said, “I’ll take a dozen.” “We sell a lot more when we give samples,” the oldest girl said. I laughed. “I can imagine.” As I paid for the cookies and lemonade, I turned to the mother. “I think you need to go into the cookie business with your children as your sales team.” She laughed. “They’re good, aren’t they?” “And so are the cookies,” I said. “Thank you.” BroadcasterOnline.com Arrrrrre Flood Insurance An Important Resource For South Dakotans PIERRE, S.D. – It won’t happen to me. Many South Dakotans may believe they don’t need to buy flood insurance. Their house has never flooded before. They don’t live in a high-risk flood zone. But flooding this year in South Dakota has demonstrated that much of the damage can occur in areas not considered especially at risk and a flood insurance policy is a sound investment. One inch of floodwater can cause up to $25,000 of damage in a home. The National Flood Insurance Program has received 222 flood insurance claims in South Dakota as of Aug. 6 and paid more than $3.7 million to policyholders. More than half of those claims were for property that was not in a highrisk flood zone, or Special Flood Hazard Area. Most came from communities that were not designated for FEMA disaster assistance to homeowners and renters. When flooding happens, the damage is not covered by most homeowner’s insurance policies. Property owners can protect themselves from these financial losses by having a flood insurance policy through the NFIP. Flood insurance coverage is available regardless of federal disaster declarations. In South Dakota, 229 communities participate in the NFIP and 3,739 policies are in effect. Residents can purchase a flood insurance policy if their community participates in the NFIP, no matter their flood risk. After the recent disaster, several additional communities have expressed interest in participating in the NFIP. Coverage is available for residential and commercial buildings and the contents in them: DPS Receives Federal 9-1-1 Grant PIERRE, S.D. – South Dakota’s Department of Public Safety has received a federal grant of more than $1.5 million that will be used for equipment at the statewide 9-1-1 emergency centers, also known as public safety answering points (PSAPs). The money, which comes from the federal 9-1-1 Grant Program, is part of the ongoing effort to upgrade the system to Next Generation 9-1-1 (NG9-1-1) at the 28 PSAPs across South Dakota. NG9-1-1 allows citizens, first responders and 9-1-1 call takers to use digital, internet-based, broadbandenabled technologies to coordinate emergency responses. “This is another good example of governments working together at all levels to strengthen our communities,” said Governor Kristi Noem. “DPS was able to apply for this funding for use at the local level to help protect and serve the public. These dollars will go a long way in bolstering our systems and keeping South Dakota safe.” A transition to NG9-1-1 has been a major objective of the state’s 9-1-1 Coordination Board, which is part of Department of Public Safety. Board Chair Lee McPeek of Watertown said the grant money is part of this effort. “We want the PSAPs to have the most current equipment and technology avail- in the Broadcaster?
