Evans; © 2015, Schwartz & Wade Books; 40 pages ——— BY TERRI SCHLICHENMEYER How many leaves are on the tree outside your window? That’s a question you may not be able to answer. How could you even count them all? Would you ever get an answer that’s right? It’s a silly question, for sure, and probably not very important. In the new book “Lillian’s Right to Vote” by Jonah Winter & Shane W. Evans, you’ll see why someone would even ask. Lillian stands at the bottom of a “very steep hill.” It’s Voting Day and she’s going to take advantage of her rights. As she looks up the hill, she sees things – not just a hill, but a slave auction. There are her great-greatgrandparents: Elijah is wearing chains and Sarah is holding a baby. Lillian sees that they’re standing near a courthouse where only white men could vote. It’s a long way up that hill and, as she climbs, Lillian sees more history: once a baby at that auction, her greatgrandfather, Edmund grew up to pick cotton. He didn’t have any more rights than his own parents did – at least not until after the Civil War. Lillian can see Great-Grandpa Edmund, post-War, on his way to vote for the very first time. He approaches the polls, looking dignified in his finest clothes; Great-Grandma Ida is there, too, but she can’t vote yet. That, as Lillian knows, is many years away. Then the hill seems to become higher, and the climb gets harder. Lillian sees her grandpa, Isaac, but he’s not voting because of a poll tax that he has no hope of paying. She hears her Uncle Levi, telling stories about impossible questions that had to be answered before anyone with brown skin could step up to cast a vote. She sees the same angry faces that surrounded her when she was a child, and women finally were allowed to vote. White women, that is. Not people like Lillian. Stopping in the middle of the hill, Lillian remembers. Once, she registered to vote and had to take a test that she didn’t pass. People were hurt and killed over votes. She starts walking again, soon reaching the voting place. And Lillian steps to the door… Did you ever buy a book for the kids that you ended up keeping for yourself? That’s what could happen once you’ve found “Lillian’s Right to Vote” – and that’s okay. I think you’ll understand it more than your children will anyhow. There’s no doubt in my mind that kids will love this book. Sharp-eyed children, those who wonder what the presidential-candidate fuss is about, will get a basic history of the importance of voting. Children in this books’ target age (3-to-6-year-olds) will appreciate the story that authors Jonah Winter & Shane W. Evans tell here. For sure, they’ll all enjoy the illustrations. The real goodness in this book, however, is that becoming a children’s picture story doesn’t at all diminish its power. Indeed, “Lillian’s Right to Vote” is ten feet tall, and it’s something neither you nor your child will be able to leave. CRP and Grassland Fire Planning Workshops BROOKINGS, S.D. - Landowners wishing to utilize prescribed fire as a management action in their Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) contracts are required to utilize an USDA approved burn plan. SDSU Extension, USDA, Pheasants Forever, and The Nature Conservancy will host four CRP and Grassland Fire Planning workshops beginning Sept. 2, 2015. The course offers guidance on the most current version of the USDA plan. Registration is not required and the class is free. “The training focuses on instructing landowners and NRCS support staff on the methods of planning for and conducting prescribed fires,” said Pete Bauman, SDSU Extension Range Field Specialist. Workshop topics include USDA rules, firebreak development, grassland ecology, fire planning, resources and tools, weather, safety, communications, and filling out a fire plan. Participants may bring maps of their areas to receive input on their individual fire projects.

With the addition of new spring 2016 units, NRCS staff will very busy and those waiting until spring might find themselves without planning assistance. Producers should not wait until spring to begin planning for and preparing their burn units,” Bauman said. “By offering the classes in the fall, we are allowing plenty of time for producers to take the appropriate planning steps.” Producers are also encouraged to begin discussions with their local fire departments during the fall months so all are well aware of the intention to burn in the spring. “Many volunteer fire departments have begun to offer limited prescribed fire services, but you cannot wait until April to ask them for help, that’s their busiest time of year”, explained Bauman. ?iGrow AN EXCITING NEW MYSTERY THRILLER Written by a Former Yanktonian, David Tienter Available at Barnes & Noble or Amazon.com PUBLIC AUCTION 325 ACRES TURNER COUNTY LAND LOCATED IN NORWAY AND HURLEY TOWNSHIPS OFFERRED IN TWO TRACTS AT AUCTION The following two tracts of land will be offered for sale at auction in the Wieman Auction Facility located 1-mile south and ½ mile west of Marion, SD on: TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 15TH 10:30 A.M.
