Cursed Is Every One!by Pastor Ricky Kurth

The Law curses every one that continueth not in all things of the law (Gal. 3:10). The words continueth and all here tell us the Law demands100% faithfulness 100% of the time! Though this may sound unreasonable, how many of our married readers are satisfied with 99% faithfulness from yourspouse? Even if you could go 70 years without sinning, then sin, the Law would curse you. This too might sound unreasonable, but if you go 70 yearswithout killing anyone, then snap, the law wont let you slide just because youve never done it before, and neither will God!

But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident (Gal. 3:11). The Greek word for evident here is translated certain whenPaul says, we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain that we can carry nothing out (I Tim. 6:7). Youll never see a U-Haul trailer behind ahearse! And it is just as evident that no one can be justified by the Law. You might look good in your neighbors sight, but were talking about the sightof God (Gal. 3:11). Even Abraham looked good to his neighbors, but he couldnt boast before God (Rom. 4:2), for God knew he lied about his wife.

No, The just shall live by faith (Gal. 3:11), that is, the way you get to be just is by faith. And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth themshall live in them (Gal. 3:12), i.e., live eternally (Lev. 18:5 cf. Luke 10:25-28). God is fair. If you could obey Him perfectly, He would give you eternallife. It is not technically correct to say the only way to heaven is by faith. But while there are two ways to get to the moon, by rocket and by jumping, oneof these two ways is impossible! Just so, there are two ways to get to heaven, by faith and by the works of the Law (Rom. 2:6-10), but the latter is just asimpossible! (Gal. 2:16).

Thankfully, Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us (Gal. 3:13). That the blessing of Abraham [salvation] mightcome on the Gentiles through. Through what? Through Israel? Through circumcision, or the Law? This was true for Gentiles in the Old Testament. Buttoday the blessing of Abraham comes on us through Jesus Christ. Why not believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved (Acts 16:31).Notice it doesnt say believe and be good. It just says believe and be saved! Christ died for our sinsandrose again (I Cor. 15:3,4). Dont try to addany good works to Christs work, for salvation is to him that worketh not, but believeth! (Rom. 4:5).

Yard of the WeekGleanings from the prairie Pastor Alvin L. Gwin Community Bible Church, Murdo

Heres a simple and encourag-ing poem that has been sharedamong friends for quite sometime.

Yesterday God helped me,Today Hell do the same.

How long will this continue?Forever --- praise His name!This is truly encouraging!

However, to really know thetruth of this poem in the experi-ences of life, one must know theGOD Who is the helper.

The Bible, GODs Word to man,is a great source of help fromGOD. It gives a record of thefaithfulness of God to the menand women who have put theirtrust in Him. Take for example,the shepherd-king, David. Hewrote in Psalm 54:4, Behold,GOD is my helper.

It was pointed out to me manyyears ago that during a most dif-ficult time in Davids life, a timewhen everything seemed to begoing against him -- and it reallywas (we never have times like

that, do we?); that David encour-aged himself in the LORD hisGOD (I Samuel 30:6).

How did David do that? It wasduring these times of trials, diffi-culties, and exasperating circum-stances that David is seen put-ting his thoughts in written formso that we can know how heencouraged himself in the LORD.

Here are some of his thoughtsthat bear witness to the truththat GOD was helping him.

Psalm 18:6 In my distress Icalled upon the LORD, and criedunto my GOD; he heard my voiceout of His temple, and my crycame before Him, even into Hisears.

Psalm 25:1-2 Unto You, OLORD, do I lift up my soul. O myGOD, I trust in You; let me not beashamed, let not my enemies tri-umph over me.

Psalm 34:1-8 I will bless theLORD at all times; His praiseshall continually be in my mouth.My soul shall make her boast inthe LORD; the humble shall hearof it, and be glad. Oh, magnifythe LORD with me, and let usexalt His Name together. Isought the LORD, and he heardme, and delivered me from all myfears. They looked unto Him, andwere radiant, and their faceswere not ashamed. This poorman cried, and the LORD heardhim, and saved him out of all histroubles. The angel of the LORDencamps round about those whofear Him, and delivers them. Oh,taste and see that the LORD isgood; blessed is the man whotrusts in Him.

Psalm 40:1-5 I waitedpatiently for the LORD, and Heinclined unto me, and heard mycry. He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miryclay, and set my feet upon a rock,and established my goings. AndHe has put a new song in mymouth, even praise unto outGOD; many shall see it, and fear,and shall trust in the LORD.Blessed is that man who makesthe LORD his trust, and respectsnot the proud, nor such as turnaside. Many, O LORD, my GOD,are Your wonderful works which

You have done, and Yourthoughts which are toward us;they cannot be reckoned up inorder unto You. If I would declareand speak of them, they are morethan can be numbered.

Psalm 56:1-4 Be mercifulunto me, O GOD; for man wouldswallow me up; he, fighting daily,oppresses me. My enemies woulddaily swallow me up; for they aremany that fight against me, O

You Most High. When I amafraid, I will trust in You. In GODI will praise His word, in GOD Ihave put my trust; I will not fearwhat flesh can do to me.

It becomes apparent thatDavid knew his LORD. Remem-ber, it was David who wrote the23rd Psalm, The LORD is myShepherd, I shall not want.

David knew GOD as his helperin times of trouble. Who do youturn to? In whom do you trust?Where do you go to get strengthfor the journey of life?

For the child of GOD by faithin JESUS CHRIST, our HeavenlyFATHER cares for us. It isbecause of HIS grace that wehave been saved. GOD haspoured out upon us the riches of HIS grace and HIS love. Webelong to HIM, and HE willnever let us down. GODs care for

HIS own is not an occasionalthing; it is constant. HE is con-stantly walking with us andwatching over us. When we gothrough the fire, HE is there, asHE was with the three Hebrewchildren in Babylon. When we gothrough the waters, HE is there,as HE was with the disciples inthat storm on the Sea of Galilee.

Yes, even when we go throughthe valley of the shadow of death,HE will be with us!

I will never leave you nor for-sake you! is HIS promise, andthat promise is sure. So, remem-ber,

Yesterday, GOD helped me,Today Hell do the same.

How long will this continue?Forever praise His Name!

Community Murdo Coyote August 15, 2013 4

more eggs in a year than mostchickens. The hype in the poultrycatalog got me. Only later did Ifind out that these nutty birds arewild as the dickens. When I

walked into the chicken house,theyd all, as a group, race acrossthe floor and crash themselvesinto the back wall. This raised alot of dust and upset the chickens.

Whats more, although they didlay very well, their eggs were notastier than their meat. The eggswere very solid so you had to workawfully hard at scrambling them.Using them in a cake or some-thing was tricky as well. All in all,raising them was not a worth-while adventure, but it taught meseveral things. Do not believe asalesmans hype, for one thing,and secondly, Do not raiseducks. I have also raised Pekinand Muscovy ducks, I might add,and, although they are less frus-trating than Khaki Campbells,they arent of much more use.

By the way, you really shouldntbother with geese either. Your wifewill get attached to them so youcan never eat them. They will justbe around forever, and the ganderwill occasionally sneak up behindyou and bite you on the rear whenhes protecting his lady or ladies.I do like eating geese better thanducks, but raising either is still afairly useless endeavor. Pluckingeither is the pits.

Neither is it worth your time toraise rabbits or chinchillas. Rab-bits are actually quite good to eatand similar to chicken, but chin-chillas are absolutely hopeless allthe way around. Whats more,rabbits are hard to raise in a cli-mate that gets both too hot andtoo cold for them. I cant recom-mend either bunnies or chin-chillas.

But you know what, I find inlooking through poultry catalogsthat I have never raised anyguineas. They say they are good atkeeping wood ticks under controlsince they like to eat them. Theyalso warn you when intruders arearound. Other people have themand seem to like them althoughthey often say they are quitenoisy. I wonder if we should givethem a try and see how they workout. Oh, well. Maybe not. If I wantpoultry around, Id better stick tochickens, if I can just manage tokeep them from digging holes allaround the lilacs and other shrub-bery. Still, chickens and I general-ly get along just fine despite thefact that the word chicken isntnearly as neat as the word duck.

What kind of bird is that? wifeCorinne might inquire. If I dontknow and despite the fact that itssitting in a tree, Im apt to reply,Its probably some kind of duck.Corinne knows by now that thispreposterous statement simplymeans I dont know although shemight give me a look of scorn any-way. Well, there is a specie of saidwaterfowl called a wood duckthat does actually nest in trees. Ihave never actually seen one, butthere is such a bird although thetrees where they hatch theiryoung are usually next to bodiesof water. Wood ducks are aboutthe only ones that do frequenttrees because they, unlike mostothers, have claws that allowthem to get a grip on wood. Other-wise, webbed feet and trees dontgo that well together.

Actually, I mostly use the wordduck as often as possiblebecause the word amuses mesomehow. Unfortunately, its hardto incorporate it into normal con-versations so you have to workpretty hard at sneaking it in, thusthe above statement, Its proba-bly some kind of a duck. Of course, if someone asks you howyou are, you can reply, Justducky, which I do from time totime. Other than that, possibleuses of the word are somewhatlimited except as sharp com-mands to dodge low-flying objects.There are other favorite words aswell that are difficult to use verymuch such as shrubbery. Imable to work them in occasionallybut all too infrequently.

Anyway, back to ducks. They areamusing critters for the most partsince they are so awkward andsomewhat silly looking whentheyre waddling around on land.Put them in water, though, andtheyre really quite graceful. Ihave found through experience,however, that their husbandry isnot all that enjoyable. For one

thing, if you put them in thechicken house in the winter, theymake an awful mess with water.

Youre likely to have an ice fieldaround the waterer before spring.

Secondly, the meat from mostwaterfowl is not that great. If youroast a duck, you get a large poolof fat, lots of skin, and a littlegreasy meat that isnt all thatgood. Other people find themtasty, I guess, but they arent afavorite of mine.

Nevertheless, one year I orderedquite a number of Khaki Camp-bell Ducks. These are smallish,walk somewhat upright, and lay

HUD awards South DakotaHousing Authorities $1,565,032

South Dakota Housing Authorities funding

U.S. Department of Housingand Urban Development Secre-tary Shaun Donovan todayawarded public housing authori-ties in South Dakota $1,565,032that will be used to make majorlarge-scale improvements to theirpublic housing units.

The housing authorities inSouth Dakota listed in the accom-panying chart will receive thisfunding.

The grants announced are pro-vided through HUDs CapitalFund Program, which providesfunding annually to all publichousing authorities to build,repair, renovate and/or modernizethe public housing in their com-munities. The authorities use thefunding to do large-scale improve-ments to the housing such as newroofs or to make energy-efficientupgrades to replace old plumbingand electrical systems.

This funding is critical forhousing authorities to maintainand improve public housing con-ditions for their residents, saidDonovan. However, with a sig-nificant repair backlog, I amencouraged by new, innovativelong-term solutions HUD isexploring that can be combinedwith this funding to not only pro-tect and preserve this housing forthe next generation, but to alsobuild the quality infrastructurenecessary for families to thrive.

Housing authorities in SouthDakota count on this funding tomaintain and improve their pub-lic housing for many families,especially the most vulnerable our seniors, said Rocky Moun-tain Regional Administrator RickM. Garcia. HUD is currently tak-ing bold steps to preserve thisaffordable housing.

Capital Fund grants are

awarded each year to the nationsapproximately 3,100 public hous-ing agencies through a formulathat considers number, type andage of units in a community. Eli-gible uses for this funding includedevelopment, financing and mod-ernization of the public housingunits as well as managementimprovements at the public hous-ing authority.

Over the past 75 years, the fed-eral government has been work-ing and investing billions of dol-lars in developing and maintain-ing public and multifamily hous-ing including providing critical

support through the CapitalFund grants announced today.Still, the nation continues to lose

approximately 10,000 publichousing units annually, primarilydue to disrepai r. In 2011, HUDreleased Capital Needs in thePublic Housing Program, a studythat estimated the capital needsin the public housing stock in theU.S. The study found the nations1.2 million public housing unitsare facing an estimated $25.6 bil-lion in large-scale repairs. Unlikeroutine maintenance, capitalneeds are extensive improve-ments required to make the hous-ing decent and economically sus-tainable, such as replacing roofsor updating plumbing and electri-cal systems to increase energy

efficiency.To help protect the consider-

respond to the growing demandfor affordable rental housing, theObama Administration proposedthe Rental Assistance Demon-stration (RAD), a comprehensivestrategy that complements theCapital Fund Program and offersa long-term solution to preserveand enhance the countrys afford-able housing stock, includingleveraging public and privatefunding to make critically neededimprovements.

Since Congress approved thedemonstration, early resultsshow it is already generatingadditional capital for public andassisted housing. After opening

RAD application periods lastsummer, HUD has approved orgiven initial approval to nearly

20,000 public and assisted hous-ing units in 180 different projectsacross the country. Throughthese awards, housing authoritieshave proposed to generate close to$816 million in private debt andequity investments to reduce thecapital backlog in public housingproperties, which will preserve orreplace distressed units and sup-port local jobs in their communi-ties all without additional fed-eral resources.

HUD also recently issued newRAD guidance that expands theprograms flexibility that willbenefit current and future appli-cants and participants.

Through my years of practicingmedicine, I have come to viewdieting as a Sisyphean task. Thegist of the Greek myth of KingSisyphus was that he was a verydeceitful and immoral king inGreek history. The Greek king of Gods, Zeus, condemned KingSisyphus to the task of rolling astone up a hill each day only towatch the stone roll back to thebottom of the hill by the followingmorning. At that point Sisyphuswould again have to begin rollingthe stone up the hill. Sisypheanthus came to mean a pointlessrepetitive task that never endedand was unsuccessful. Such isdieting. With the overweight epi-demic that has engulfed our coun-try at this time, dieting is indeeda Sisyphean task.

The word diet might be definedin two different ways. The com-mon way it is used in American

jargon means that a diet is anabnormal way to eat. In otherwords, the person is going tochange what and how they nor-mally eat into something thatthey do not normally eat, being itmore or less or a different con-tent. But the problem with this isthat no one is going to eat abnor-mally for very long and soon theold normal eating habit resumesand the same problem persists.

But another way to define adiet has to do with a characteris-tic eating pattern that a givengroup of individuals commonlypractice. Examples include theMediterranean diet. This refersto the eating pattern with anemphasis on olive oil, wine, nuts,and vegetables commonly prac-ticed in the Mediterranean coun-

tries. This dietary pattern hasbeen associated with a decreasedincidence of vascular disease.

Another example of the samephenomena would be the Inuitdiet practiced by the Eskimos in

Alaska and Greenland. The Eski-mos normally eat large amountsof whale or seal blubber and char-acteristically can have serum cho-lesterol of 2000 mg percent; nor-mal cholesterol is less than 200mg percent. Yet, they have a verylow incidence of vascular disease.That is attributed to the high con-centration of omega-3 fatty acidsin their diet.

I am not so nave as to believethat anybody is going to take upeating whale blubber in order toprevent their heart attack. And tothis time, there are no studies todemonstrate converting to theMediterranean diet is associatedwith a decreased incidence of heart attack or stroke. Rather,recognize that the benefit of theMediterranean diet comes tothose who have naturallyacquired that diet throughouttheir life. Converting to it later inlife does not seem to carry muchlife-saving effect.

Which brings me to the antiox-idant question. Anybody thatwatches television or reads amagazine or newspaper nowknows that there is no shortage of claims being made for antioxi-dants and the benefits that thesebring to the human body. The the-ory behind the antioxidant bene-fit makes perfect sense but to thistime, there isnt a particle of evi-dence demonstrating that con-suming antioxidants as a pill haseven a thread of life-saving effect.

The best example of this wasthe vitamin E story in which itwas shown to have very potentantioxidant effects in a test tube.

From the 1960s on, vitamin Ewas said as to having life-savingeffects. Yet when controlled stud-ies were done supplementingvitamin E in various forms and atvarious doses to given popula-tions, there was no demonstratedlife-saving effect.

But this has not slowed downthe snake oil salesmen out therepushing antioxidants of all man-ner and dose. However, in defenseof the antioxidant theory, an arti-cle appeared in the AmericanJournal of Medicine this summerthat analyzed the antioxidantconsumption among 33,713Swedish women. These womenall completed a food question-naire in 1990, again in 1997, andyet again in December of 2009.The information sought in thesequestionnaires was what thesewomen normally ate. Through aherculean effort and use of hugecomputers, the researchers wereable to assign an antioxidantintake from the diet of these33,713 individuals.

The researchers then rankedantioxidant intake of thesewomen, divided them into fivegroups each with an increasingdose of antioxidant intake. Thequestion they looked for had to dowith whether or not antioxidantshad anything to do with preven-tion of heart failure. The answerwas very clear. Those womenwhose diets naturally were high-er in antioxidant content had avery substantial decrease in theincidence of heart failure. Note,this is the first publication of anykind demonstrating a health-pro-tective effect of antioxidants inthe diet.

But please note this study hadto do with the womens naturaldietary intake of antioxidantsover 20 years. It does not suggest

in any way that supplementingantioxidants sold by hucksters onTV had any life-saving or benefi-cial effect.

The lesson from this article isone that is obvious from manypast years. Specifically, a natural-ly healthy life style preventssome diseases. The use of adietary supplement used longenough and a high enough dosemay be some help but for antioxi-dants that is not shown at thistime.

Incidentally in the same issueof the American Journal of Medi-cine, an article was directed tothe use of vitamin D-3. A normalvitamin D-3 level in blood isabout 30 ng/ml. The article in the

American Journal noted thatthere is a definite life-savingeffect when Vitamin D-3 levelsare increased above 21 ng/ml.Note this isnt even the normalrange but very commonly in thenorthern latitudes where there isless sunshine significant vitaminD-3 deficiency does occur andthose with the largest blood levelsof Vitamin D-3 do have anincreased mortality. Vitamin sup-plementation with vitamin D-3 at2000 units per day is a practice Irecommend.

In summary, a healthy lifestyleprevents a lot of diseases. Supple-menting a persons diet or med-ical regiment has evidence basedinformation indicating that statindrugs, blood pressure medica-tions, and vitamin D supplemen-tation do save lives. The host of other dietary supplements shownon TV or at your favorite nutri-tion store really does not haveevidence based information sug-gesting that they save lives orprevent disease. But they domake money for those sellingthem!

Winter wheat planting is aroundthe corner. Good practices increasethe odds for success.

Choose one or more varietieswith good agronomic characteris-tics, recommended for your area,and on average, performed well inlocations near your farm in thelast few years.

When possible, direct seed intostanding stubble. Standing stub-ble traps snow that insulateswheat seedlings against cold tem-peratures, reducing risk of win-terkill. Seeding into broadleaf cropstubble reduces the risk of insect,disease and weed problems. Seed-ing into wheat stubble is common,but increases the risk of residue-borne diseases. Seeding wheat intocorn, wheat, sorghum or milletresidue increases the risk of scab(Fusarium Head Blight). If plant-ing winter wheat into fallow, mini-mize the number of tillage opera-tions just before planting. Plowingand other deep tillage operationscan reduce seedbed firmness, drythe topsoil and bury protectiveresidues, increasing the risk of winter kill.

Control weeds early. Controllinggrassy weeds and volunteer wheattwo weeks prior to planting winterwheat will provide a break in thelife cycle of the wheat curl miteand help to control wheat streakmosaic virus. Preventing annual

weeds from producing seed willhelp reduce weed problems in theplanted crop. Prior to plantingwinter wheat is also a good time tocontrol perennial weeds andreduce competition from them inthe following season.

The recommended time to plantwinter wheat in South Dakota isSept. 15 through Oct. 10. Wheatplants should be well establishedbefore freezing to attain maximumcold tolerance and accumulateenough energy reserves for the fol-lowing spring. Planting too earlymay produce excessive fall growth,reducing amounts of soil moisture

and nutrients. Early plantedwheat is vulnerable to infestationsof wheat curl mites that transmitwheat streak mosaic virus andalso increases the risk of root andcrown rot diseases. Research fromwestern South Dakota has shownthat grain yield is decreased andthe crop can suffer substantialwinter injury when planting laterthan Oct. 15.

Plant winter wheat at a depth of 1.5 to 2 inches in a firm seedbed.Planting deeper than 2 inchesreduces emergence and can resultin weak spindly seedlings withpoor ability to survive the winter.If it is necessary to plant deeper toget to moisture, growers shouldchoose a variety with a longercoleoptile (see Table 3 of 2010Winter Wheat Variety YieldResults and Planting Tips:http://igrow.org/up/resources/ExEx8136-10.pdf). Make sure there isgood soil-to-seed contact, especial-ly under drier conditions. If soilcover over the seed is poor there isrisk of exposing the crown andadversely affecting winter sur-vival.

The recommended seeding rateis 22 pure live seeds per squarefoot (approximately 960,000seeds/acre, depending on seedsize). If you have a poor seedbed orare planting later than the recom-mended dates, increase seedingrate to 28 pure-live-seeds persquare foot. Properly managedwinter wheat does have the abilityto tiller and can compensate forthin stands.

Test soils and apply fertilizerbased on soil test results and yieldgoals. Research has shown thatadequate phosphorus helps wintersurvival by stimulating rootgrowth and tillering in the fall. If soil test results indicate low phos-phorus levels, apply the recom-mended rate.

Risk management strategies for farmersBy Jeff Elliott, Chief Finan-

cial Officer, MachineryLink,Inc.

Most would agree that farm-ing, by its nature, is filled withrisk. Whether growing soybeansor wheat, farming 500 acres or5,000, growers face risk and wor-ries around weather, input costs,yields, market demand, andvolatile grain prices -- just a fewof many factors creating riskwithin farming.

There is no way to completelyeliminate risk, but there arestrategies to manage it. Our dis-cussions with growers centeraround three risk managementareas:

Financial ManagementInformation ResourcesMarketing and Pricing

Financial Management

Financial risk managemententails many aspects of a grow-ers financial statements:debt/equity ratio, cash position,and access to capital, especially

during the inevitable down years.Here are some strategies to con-sider in overall risk planning:

Holding sufficient cashreserves for protection againstadverse conditions.

Investing capital in areasbringing the most benefit, such asland and appreciating assets.

Detailed planning for longer-term capital expenditures thatsupport the operation. Growersmust know how to align capitalinvestment with alternative sce-narios of forward-looking incomepotential.

Unlocking capital and avoid-ing investment in depreciatingassets by renting lightly-utilizedor infrequently-used major equip-ment.

We ask farmers what are yourpriorities for cash or capital?Why? The list price of a new com-bine can range from $280,000 fora basic machine to over half-a-million for a fully-loadedmachine. If youre not properlyprepared for initial and ongoingownership costs, they can quickly

erode your capital position andreserves. Although a combinepurchase can be the right deci-sion for some, a rental agreementcan be more economical and freesup capital. Overall, when evalu-ating large expenditures, consid-er your operations, output, plans,crop potential and cash positionto determine where dollars arebest allocated.

Information Resources

We speak with customersabout a smarter harvest, orleveraging the technology anddata resources available to them.Growers have multiple resources

USDA reports, weather infor-mation, market pricing, andmuch more. Taking into accountyour crops, farm size, productioncapabilities, and other opera-tional factors, consider first whattypes of information will help youfarm more effectively. That willguide you to the right solution information sources to help driveinformed decisions that preserve

or improve your profitability andproduction.

Marketing and Pricing

Two marketing/pricing strate-gies are hedging, allowing afarmer to determine the currentprice for which he will sell hiscrop at a future date (providing arelief from volatile pricing), andcontracting, in which markets,pricing or other terms are guar-anteed in advance. Both areviable risk management strate-gies; however, before executing onany marketing or pricing strate-gy, fully understand all options,then use the best informationavailable to maximize your prof-itability.

At its core, farming can be acontinual risk/reward see-saw.Understanding and executingsmart risk management strate-gies helps keep the balance inyour favor.

Outside organiza-tions include, but are not limited to, com-panies that manufacture class rings orpublish yearbooks. In addition, two fed-eral laws require local educational agen-cies (LEAs) receiving assistance underthe Elementary and Secondary Educa-tion Act of 1965 (ESEA) to provide mili-tary recruiters, upon request, with threedirectory information categoriesnames, addresses and telephone list-ingsunless parents have advised theLEA that they do not want their student'sinformation disclosed without their prior

Parents or eligible studentsshould submit to the Schoolprincipal a written request thatidentifies the record(s) theywish to inspect. The School

official will make arrange-ments for access and notifythe parent or eligible studentof the time and place wherethe records may be inspected.

The right to request the amendment ofthe student's education records that theparent or eligible student believes areinaccurate, misleading, or otherwise inviolation of the student's privacy rightsunder FERPA.

Parents or eligible studentswho wish to ask the School toamend a record should writethe School principal, clearlyidentify the part of the recordthey want changed, and spec-ify why it should be changed. Ifthe School decides not toamend the record as request-

ed by the parent or eligible stu-dent, the School will notify theparent or eligible student ofthe decision and advise themof their right to a hearingregarding the request foramendment.
