"The Amish Project", Lynn Alex, National Child Abuse Prevention Month

Dakota Midday - 04/03/2012

Dakota Midday is hosted by Karl Gehrke in Vermillion, SD.

Lynn Alex is the Program Director of Education and Outreach for the Office of the State Archaeologist at the University of Iowa.  She talks about recent discoveries at Kimball Village, which is north of Sioux City along the Big Sioux River. 

April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month.  Colorado-based author and retired educator Laurel Hall has written the book "Providence."  Hall was sexually abused when she was four years old; the abuse continued for four years.  Today, she advocates for victims who have suffered from similar sexual abuse situations.  Laurel is joined by Dianne Weyer, Director of the Central South Dakota Child Assessment Center in Pierre, who talks about child advocacy and resources for children in South Dakota. 

Phyllis Schrag is directing a readers' theatre production of Jessica Dickey's "The Amish Project" at First Baptist Church in Sioux Falls Tuesday.  "The Amish Project" is a fictional exploration of the Nickel Mines schoolhouse shooting in an Amish community and the path of forgiveness and compassion forged in its wake.
